James Arthur Smith: Seatopia

Updated: Apr 21

Episode 60: How Cortisol Affects Every Aspect of Your Health—And What to Do About It with Justin Hai of Rebalance Health




Episode Highlights:


In this episode of the BiohackerBlondie podcast, Jenny sits down with James Arthur Smith, the founder of Seatopia, to talk about one of the most urgent health and environmental topics of our time: clean seafood. With mercury, microplastics, and pollutants invading our oceans and fish, James explains how regenerative aquaculture can offer a certified clean solution that protects both your health and the planet.

James shares how Seatopia partners with innovative farms around the world to produce lab-tested, sushi-grade seafood free from heavy metals and microplastics. He also dives into the evolutionary history of omega-3s, the dangers of conventional farming, and why knowing your seafood’s feed and farming practices is just as important as knowing its origin.


Whether you’re trying to support pregnancy, improve your brain function, avoid inflammation, or just eat clean, nutrient-dense food—this conversation will shift how you think about seafood forever.


Key Topics Discussed


Why Clean Seafood Is a Superfood


  • How omega-3s like DHA and EPA power your brain and support longevity

  • Why seafood has the most bioavailable form of omega-3s in the triglyceride form

  • The hidden danger of wild-caught fish and ocean bioaccumulation


The Problem with Most Seafood


  • Bioaccumulation of mercury, microplastics, and forever chemicals in wild fish

  • Common toxins in fish from polluted oceans and commercial fishmeal

  • The dangers of fish fed GMO corn, soy, and unclean fish oil


What Makes Seatopia Different


  • Regenerative aquaculture with microalgae and insect protein

  • Certified Clean: all products lab-tested for mercury and microplastics

  • Farm partnerships with controlled, species-appropriate feed inputs

  • Carbon-neutral shipping, plastic-free or bio-based packaging


The Evolution of Aquaculture: 1.0 to 3.0


  • 1.0: Fish raised on wild baitfish (unsustainable, toxin-loaded)

  • 2.0: Shift to land-based feeds (GMO corn, soy → poor nutritional profiles)

  • 3.0: Today’s regenerative farms use microalgae and sustainable inputs


The Sea-to-Table Revolution


  • Why Seatopia fish are lower in mercury than most wild-caught options

  • James’ personal story: feeding his pregnant wife lab-tested sushi-grade fish

  • The importance of a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for seafood


Food Transparency in the Ocean


  • Why even fish from Hawaii and Alaska are no longer safe

  • How to use data and third-party testing to choose better seafood


Seafood vs. Supplements
