I can’t believe how popular this Sardine Diet thing is turning out to be. Here are more resources and answers to FAQ (Mercury, Sardine Brand, etc.): <br><br>The original Sardine Diet Letter: <a href="https://staycuriousmetabolism.substack.com/p/sardine-fasting-the-ultimate-health?r=40ekz2">https://staycuriousmetabolism.substack.com/p/sardine-fasting-the-ultimate-health?r=40ekz2</a> <br><br>Prior Video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Th54GWd8WY">https://youtu.be/_Th54GWd8WY</a> <br><br>Omega-3 and Thermogenesis Letter: Coming tomorrow 12/11/25 to <a href="http://staycuriousmetabolism.com/">StayCuriousMetabolism.com</a><br> <br>Q: Aren’t Sardines high in mercury? <br>No. Sardines are a low mercury fish. You’d need to eat 77 servings of sardines to get the mercury in one serving of swordfish .<br><br>Q: What brand did you use for the sardine diet experiment? <br>Fishwife, preserved in lemon and extra virgin olive oil. <br><br>Q: What about BPA? <br>The brand was selected in part because it has BPA-free tins.

Soy pescador comercial. Tengo dos perros husky siberianos, que viven en mi barco, comen lo que pescamos...sardinas crudas y tambien cocidas (las prefieren). Ambos nacieron el 2002, y son hermanos. Tienen aun mucha energia, como si fueran adultos jovenes...estoy seguro que es por si dieta.<br>El unico inconveniente; es que huelen igual que bodega del barco.<br>Su pelaje es brillante y aun no teniendo ninguna restriccion en la cantidad de comida...no tienen sobre peso.<br>Saludos desde La Patagonia - Chile

Thanks. I adapted sardine diet popularized by Dr. Annette Bosworth (known as “Dr. Boz”), a physician in the keto/carnivore community. Around 2019–2020, she promoted a short-term “sardine fast” (typically 3 days) as a metabolic reset tool, emphasizing sardines for their omega-3s, protein, low mercury levels, and nutrient density.

Nick, I like your interviewing style. Too many people invite a very smart guest to their podcast then constantly interrupt them.

Re Statins & LDL. To a man with a hammer every problem is a nail.<br>Cardiologist can do 4 things: Fit a stent , give you a beta blocker , give you a statin , give you a blood thinner. That is it.<br>They focus on LDL because that is the only thing they can control.
