It is a miracle drug. And so if you are sort of not paying attention to that one, well, you can sort of put a Band-Aid on some issues, but never to get to the core problems. Now, thinking about the rest... First for me is blood draw. Are you balanced in terms of vitamin D, vitamin B12? This would be the first big ones.

And I'm surprised how many people tell me, friends and colleagues, no, I don't know what my vitamin D is. So that's number one.

Exactly. Also, I don't know if you're measuring this, but your omega fatty acid levels.

Critical. So, you know, there are a few supplements that have documented efficacy. One of them is omega fatty acids. And especially if you are like most people in the Western world and you don't have access to enough of them. So omega fatty acid would be one of the top ones for me, for everyone to take every morning and every night.

If you're exercising, carnitine is really one of the well-recognized supplements that people take. Now, we talked about a whole variety of flavonoids, quercetin, curcumin, fitzetin, all of those. The problem with many of those is bioavailability. So much of what has been shown about their efficacy is based on studies where the chemicals are added directly to cell.

The problem is, you know, before the chemicals get to your cells, they have to go through the gut and have to be absorbed and all this. Most of those have extremely low bioavailability. Now, some companies are trying to remedy this by making them into phytosomes and all this. But most of the time, the data is just not there that these things are getting absorbed to a significant level.
