👉In this week’s Nutrivore Newsletter, we talked about selenium’s potential role in lowering cardiovascular disease risk; oysters as one of the most nutrient-dense foods we can possibly choose; how the selenium in seafood protects against methylmercury (and the minority of times when we do need to worry); how to protect ourselves from food fear-mongering on the internet; and I shared my decadent recipe for Oysters on the Half Shell!

Because this week’s Free Newsletter talked about selenium as one of many nutrients that seafood supplies, I want to share this downloadable handy-dandy 1-page summary of Nutrients in Seafood as a perk for my paid subscribers. And, because oysters is a great source of selenium and much more, I’m sharing one of my favorite albeit decadent ways to enjoy oysters, a downloadable version of my recipe for Oysters on the Half Shell.

📥Just for paid subscribers, your Companion Downloads this week are:

  • Nutrients in Seafood - This 1-pager PDF guide highlights key nutrients in seafood and their benefits, to give you a quick-reference for why three or more weekly servings of seafood (either fish or shellfish) is so good for you.

  • Oysters on the Half Shell Recipe - A beautifully-designed PDF version of this week’s recipe that you can save or print out, to build your own personalized Nutrivore Cookbook week by week.
