Q&A: What the Anti PUFA Crowd Gets Wrong and Melatonin Dosing for Kids

In this months Q&A episode I answer listener questions including: What are my thoughts on B vitamins? Should we supplement them or get them from food? What is one thing the anti PUFA crowd gets wrong? What are my thoughts on testing omega 3:6 ratio from a dried blood spot sample? What do I think about Dr Matthew Walker on Diary of a CEO Podcast saying "don't supplement large doses of melatonin"? What is a good dose of melatonin for kids? Have I ever taken melatonin to lower anxiety? What do I think about red light and PEMF mats? What is my parasite strategy? What belief or mindset shift created the biggest change in my health?

I share why I think vitamin B3 as niacinamide/nicotinamide is one of the most important ones to take, how B3 protects against several different types of cancers, why cigars don't protect from pathogens in oysters, the immense stress lowering effect I felt when I stopped demonizing ascorbic acid, zinc, iron, and vitamin D supplements, and why I think the should observe the diets of deer and elk with the PUFA conversation instead of getting lost in analyzing endless research studies.
