And don't forget to subscribe. With that being said, what do you think about the topic that I just chose, which is supplements? Supplements. I mean, the basic thing, and I think people know this, most people know this, but if you don't, just good to remind yourself, is like, you kind of want a pyramid. Think of like maybe a three-tiered pyramid. And you want, you know, the foundation, the fundamentals to be like training and nutrition. And then as you go up, you know, sleep, or maybe sleep is the foundation. you can play around with the bottom but either way the top is supplements meaning the smallest part of the pyramid the last thing you focus on after you've got everything else together should be supplements they're kind of icing on the cake yes it should be done in moderation yeah well i don't even think done in moderation i think it's supplemental i think the word supplements literally by definition by definition of what supplements are is supplemental it doesn't take the the
the place of eating properly and eating well and with a lot of different nutrients that our bodies crave and need. It doesn't take the place of exercise. It doesn't take the place of sleep. It helps with overall, you know, your overall health. And by the way, a lot of these supplements don't do anything. I think we're living in a time when we are all chasing youth and longevity has become such a huge, huge brand in itself that people keep on creating these products that actually have zero, there's no FDA regulation on any of these things. There's zero efficacy on these things. And so like, I believe that people need to be super, super careful about of where and who they're getting their information and do their research. Because a ton of supplements that come my way, I'm like, are you kidding me? It's snake oil. There's certain things I think are really good, but I know the source.
And I think that there are certain supplements that are essential because we can't get it in our foods necessarily, or that, like I said, I think they're doing a very specific thing. But overall, I mean... You can't just be like taking everything willy-nilly. So this is the stuff that I think is really important. Are you ready? And then I want to hear your list, okay? I think that omega-3 is really important. I think vitamin D with K2 has to be taken together or it's not going to do what you need it to do. It won't digest, absorb. I think that creatine is very important. It's not just for bodybuilders anymore. And I believe, well, protein, that's not really a supplement. And I also do take NAD. I take traniogen.
