ADVICE

Never Take Iodine And Vitamin C At The Same Time

Avoid taking iodine and vitamin C together because one is an oxidizer and the other a reducer; space them across the day.
Dr. Myhill recommends iodine in the morning or night (3 drops) and ascorbate separately to let each act effectively.

ADVICE

Breathe Through Your Nose Slowly To Improve Oxygen Delivery

Do nasal, diaphragmatic, slow breathing to preserve CO2 and improve cellular oxygen delivery.
Aim for nose breathing, diaphragmatic breaths, and slow cycles (about 3 breaths per minute) to prevent hyperventilation-induced alkalosis.

ADVICE

Give Mitochondria The Five Common Nutrients They Need

Support mitochondria with key nutrients when energy is low: magnesium, vitamin D, CoQ10, acetyl-L-carnitine, niacin (B3), and D-ribose.
Dr. Myhill lists typical doses such as magnesium 300 mg, vitamin D 10,000 IU, acetyl-L-carnitine ~1 g, and D-ribose as ATP precursor.
