The latest chemical acronym to become a household name is p f a s. Short for per or, polly or and polly floral alcal substances. They are present in a lot of fishand e are present in many other containers that we may eat food in. You'd better know if anything you have has exposure to these p f s.

A note from Paul: Throughout my training and practice as a physician, I have come to one very disappointing conclusion: Western medicine isn’t helping people lead better lives. Now that I’ve realized this, I’ve become obsessed with understanding what makes us healthy or ill. I want to live the best life I can and I want to be able to share this knowledge with others so that they can do the same. This podcast is the result of my relentless search to understand the roots of chronic disease. If you want to know how to live the most radical life possible I hope you’ll join me on this journey.

On today’s episode, Paul takes a deep dive into why he chooses to omit fish, chicken and pork from his diet. He touches on PFAs, micro-plastics, heavy metals, and linoleic acid.
