Episode notes
Treat Vitamin D Like A Common Deficiency
- Test and supplement vitamin D widely because many people are deficient and it acts like a hormone in the body.
- Prefer vitamin D paired with vitamin K and use 2,000–4,000 IU for maintenance, 5,000–10,000 IU to raise levels.
Get Enough EPA+DHA From Quality Fish Oil
- Take fish oil (EPA+DHA) if your diet lacks fatty fish, aiming for ~1.75–2.5 g combined per day.
- Choose re-esterified triglyceride fish oil and check per-capsule EPA+DHA to avoid needing many pills.
Include Creatine For Strength And Cognition
- Use creatine monohydrate as a low-cost, well-researched supplement for muscle, cognition, and aging.
- Recognize creatine helps many people but other deficiencies (D, magnesium) may cause bigger harms if ignored.
