Summary

Dr. Andrew Huberman explains how to design an effective supplementation protocol tailored to individual needs, nutrition, lifestyle, and budget. He covers “foundational” supplements for overall health, including vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, adaptogens, and prebiotics/probiotics. The episode explores using single-ingredient supplements to enhance specific physiological aspects like sleep, cognition, focus, and hormone levels. Dr. Huberman discusses when to incorporate supplements, determining dosages, sourcing, scheduling (continuous vs. cycling), and layering different supplements effectively. He emphasizes creating a safe, biologically effective, and cost-efficient protocol to meet personal goals and support overall health, vitality, and longevity. The discussion references a meta-analysis on Eurycoma longifolia’s effects on testosterone levels, highlighting the evidence-based approach. This comprehensive guide offers listeners practical insights for developing a personalized supplementation strategy to optimize mental and physical performance.
