Episode notes
Test Before You Supplement
- Get blood work before taking supplements and correct specific deficiencies like magnesium, vitamin D, or iron first.
- Supplement only for documented deficiencies rather than broad, unspecific 'kitchen sink' products.
Melatonin Is A Hormone, Use With Caution
- Melatonin is a hormone and a regulator, not a direct sleep initiator, and clinical dose is often much lower than commercial gummies.
- Melatonin interacts with many medications and may be inappropriate for children except specific cases.
Sleep Boosts Vaccine Effectiveness
- Sleep before vaccination to boost immune response and antibody development.
- Aim for good sleep one or two nights before immunization for maximal vaccine efficacy.
