Magnesium confusion

I have heard Peter refer to Magnesium Citrate, Slo-Mag (Magnesium Chloride?) and Magtein (Magnesium L-Threonate over the past year. The most recent podcast with James O'Keefe he only mentioned the first two above, nothing about Magtein. Can you please outline what his most up-to-date thinking is on these three forms and what is personal daily Magnesium regime looks like?

SGLT2 inhibitors, fasting and ketoacidosis

Are you concerned about the risk of ketoacidosis when mixing a SGLT2 inhibitor with strict carbohydrate restriction? I am not diabetic but am considering the use of a SGLT2 inhibitor for longevity/overall metabolic benefits but I do a 7 day mix of keto/water only/keto (2/3/2) each month and am concerned about a ketoacidotic complication... Thanks for so much awesome content! Brendan Kelleher, MD FACEP

Dealing with a fish allergy

I have a bad allergy to fish (it's an actual Anaphylaxis, not just that I don't like fish). Interestingly, I can eat shellfish and crustaceans. Can Peter opine on food recommendations to replace nutrients common in fish (e.g. Omega 3), and share any specific supplements he thinks might be good?
