That is good advice, thank you, and in line with what I was thinking. Time is on his side here so getting him to eat healthy is a great start. Good advice on concussions too. He has not had one yet although he took a line drive in baseball to the face this year. He plays baseball and basketball but ...

What would you do if you found out your 14 year old is a 4/4? Too young to tell him .... too young to understand .... what supplements should I get in to him now to start protection and what should I be incorporating into his diet at home .... without telling him why ...

Thanks everyone for the replies. Sounds like I need to give this some more thought. Circular, your thoughts make sense to me - and deep down I figured it was too good to be true anyway. Oh well. I do have an Instant Pot and like it, so I will focus on that. Thanks too for the avocado oil suggestion ...

My guess is that might take away from the crispy, blackened texture and make them taste more on the baked side, but probab...

They come out crispy and a little blackened - kind of like roasting at high heat in the oven. Truly d...

Thanks Jan. I will take a look at their websites. Thankfully I have an excellent functional medicine doctor that I trust on my side, but he appreciates when I do my research and bring up other doctors' viewpoints and insights!
