The revealed LABS of the woman who ate sardines for 90 days. 

Hey, Dr. Boz here, 

With the rising popularity of SARDINE CHALLENGES, I’ve noticed your recurring question-  “You know what doc…this doesn’t sound like it’s safe, it doesn’t sound like a good idea for someone to have sardines for that many days in a row.”

Joe Rogan did this a couple of years ago and got ARSENIC poisoning.

As an internal medicine doctor who recommends sardines to almost all of her patients, I am here to tell you the truth behind this concern. I wanted to dive deeper into the literature to answer the question: What really is the medical literature behind this, and where is the real evidence behind this saying that sardine fasts may be a threat to your health?

First off, why would you ever eat Sardines? 

Sardines are nutrient-dense, high in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and essential vitamins like vitamin D and B12. They are the BEST food to restore your metabolic health. 

My favorite story of the life changing benefit of sardines is Jane- you may know Jane as the woman who ate the boring diet of ONLY sardines for 90 DAYS. She was suffering from food addiction, fatty liver, insulin resistance, and the unbearable pain of plantar fasciitis. Her pain was 10 out of 10 and nothing seemed to be working. 

Eliminate food variety, reduce inflammation, and reset the gut. On a sardine diet, Jane ​​was able to lose (35 lbs), with better energy, better sleep, and reduced pain. 

But – What about Arsenic poisoning?

Joe Rogan warned all of you about the dangerous rise in arsenic levels from eating too many sardines. You all expressed the same concern in your comments. 

I am here to tell you the truth – there is no strong evidence that long-term sardine consumption causes dangerous levels of arsenic. 

There are 2 types of arsenic:  

1. Organic arsenic (commonly found in seafood and generally harmless).
2. Inorganic arsenic (toxic) is highlighted. 

Sardines are primarily linked to organic arsenic, NOT posing a threat to your health. 

We tested this on Jane, only to find normal levels of arsenic, mercury, and lead. What her labs did represent were high Omega-3 levels and high vitamin D levels. 

Omega-3 fatty acids are CRITICAL in reducing inflammation, supporting brain function, and protecting against cardiovascular diseases. Sardines are among the best dietary sources.

Vitamin D, essential for immune function, bone health, and reducing inflammation. 

What about constipation? 

Yes-  Jane did experience this during the first 30-day challenge but through adding MCT oil to her meals, she was able to reduce the symptoms and in the end had improved gut health, reduced inflammation, and no more constipation!

It was amazing – Jane’s body was healing itself. Jane was experiencing insulin resistance affecting her metabolism and causing her all this pain. 

High insulin levels trap fat-soluble nutrients in fat cells, preventing their mobilization. Insulin resistance struggles to mobilize fat due to the body’s inability to access stored fat for energy. 

This sardine fasts WORKED because sardines help reduce insulin levels allowing fat-soluble nutrients, like vitamin D, to be released and utilized. 

Jane was experiencing Autophagy- 

a cellular repair process that is triggered during fasting or ketogenic states. Her body was finally cleaning out those damaged cells that have been causing her pain and regenerating new ones HEALING her body. She had proof of this in her raised ketone levels!

Her high ketone levels showed she was burning fat for fuel and therefore in autophagy.

Her brain was clear, she no longer had the food addiction she was experiencing and her pain was gone. 

And no, she had no signs of toxic levels of heavy metals in her body. 

PSA Although Jane did not experience toxic levels of heavy metals from her extreme sardine consumption, and this is primarily safe for most – it is important to track these levels such as heavy metals when eating a diet such as Jane’s.
