In this episode, Dr. Justin Marchegiani sits down with Dr. Jeff Moss of Moss Nutrition to explore why selenium deficiency — not mercury toxicity — may be the real driver of cognitive decline linked to fish consumption. They also examine the nuances of iodine and thyroid health, the often-overlooked importance of potassium intake, and how acid-alkaline balance may serve as a practical at-home clinical tool. This conversation offers clinical insights that challenge popular functional medicine assumptions and bring evidence-based clarity to everyday patient decisions.

✅ How fish intake may be associated with improved cognitive function in aging populations
