A few notes since the video was recorded:  As far as non-organic meat goes, Turkey is the best. Turkey has very little of the Omega 6 fats.  I would move all lean meats to #5 on my list of good foods to eat.  Also, I now prefer to use canned Coconut Milk as opposed to the liquid Coconut Milk for my shakes.  The reason is that most liquid non-dairy “milk” drinks have Carrageenan added to it as a thickening agent, and it causes inflammation.  Please read labels to avoid Carrageenan.

Dr. Christensen recommends Metagenics Omega 3 fish oils supplements.  In particular he recommends their “OmegaGenics EPA-DHA 1000”, taking 2-3 capsules a day.  You may purchase their products from jchristensen.metagenics.com  If you set up a monthly autoship, Metagenics will give you a 10% discount in addition to free shipping.
