In this episode of The Wellness Reset, Luke Coutinho sits down with his childhood friend Aaron Lobo, Marine Conservation Scientist and practitioner, for a deeper look at something we rarely question: where does our food actually come from?

The conversation explores the powerful connection between human health, the ocean, nature and our food systems. Aaron shares how his journey from studying snakes and marine life led him into marine conservation, and what his experiences at sea taught him about the seafood we eat.

They discuss:

* Farmed fish vs wild-caught fish: Is farmed seafood actually unhealthy, or is the reality more nuanced?

* How aquaculture and mariculture work and why farmed seafood has become such an important part of the global food system

* What really happens in trawl fisheries and their impact on marine life

* Why seafood is not just food, but also wildlife

* How our oceans, forests, wetlands, biodiversity and food chains are deeply connected to human health

* Mercury and heavy-metal accumulation in fish, and why certain larger, longer-lived fish may require more consideration

* How the modern food system has changed our relationship with what we eat

* Why health may begin much earlier than a supplement, gym or diet plan, with the quality of our soil, water, air and ecosystems

A thought-provoking conversation about seafood, sustainability, food choices and the forgotten connection between our health and the natural world.
