Supplements
423 protocols, ranked by how often the world’s top health podcasts mention them.
- Take Advil for Mild Menstrual Cramps
Some cramps can be managed with a couple of Advil tablets, but this is different from abnormal endometriosis pain.
▶ 1Amazon - Progesterone-Only Birth Control Pills for Endometriosis
Use progesterone-only birth control pills to suppress endometriosis symptoms in suspected or confirmed cases. For patients with endometriosis, start progesterone-based birth control at six weeks postpartum.
▶ 1Amazon - GnRH Antagonists
GnRH antagonists such as Orilissa and Myfembree can be used for endometriosis when stronger estrogen suppression is needed, especially for painful sex and painful periods, often after surgery or when progesterone suppression is insufficient. These medications carry a risk of bone loss and have duration limits.
▶ 1Amazon - Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone replacement therapy may help relieve menopausal brain fog and related symptoms, and some women report feeling mentally restored with it.
▶ 1Amazon - Avoid Methylene Blue
Avoid methylene blue because it may intercalate into DNA and potentially cause mutations, and in generally healthy people it may create more problems than benefits.
▶ 1 - Avoid Bioavailable Curcuminoids
Avoid if DHT is already low or androgen receptor sensitivity is low; examples given include bioavailable turmeric and black pepper extract.
▶ 1 - Ketones During Long Fasts
Optional addition during 3-4 day medically supervised fasts; mentioned alongside water and electrolytes.
▶ 1Amazon - Sulforaphane Precursor (Glucoraphanin)
She takes a glucoraphanin product rather than sulforaphane itself because it is more stable; specifically mentioned Avmacol, chosen because many studies have used that form. Rationale includes NRF2 activation, detoxification support, and glutathione increases.
▶ 1Amazon - Nicotinamide Riboside
She is cautiously experimenting with NR for mitochondrial health, fertility/energy-related rationale, and possible recovery benefits; framed as not core or essential and not something she'd prioritize on a tight budget. She specifically mentioned taking True Niagen NR.
▶ 1Amazon - Tricyclics
Helpful medications for OCD alongside SSRIs.
▶ 1Amazon - GHK-Cu Topical
Use a well-formulated topical GHK-Cu product for skin effects; formulation should preserve the copper complex. Also mentioned as potentially useful after UV exposure to alleviate some photo damage. Presented as useful alongside, not instead of, a skincare routine.
▶ 1Amazon - Avoid Dopamine Supplementation
Advises against supplementing with dopamine or dopamine precursors at any time.
▶ 1 - Avoid Taurine
Personal caution: he is not a fan of taurine or energy drinks containing it because he experienced bursting of microvasculature in the sclera of his eyes.
▶ 1 - Black Cohosh
Discussed for menopause or low-estrogen contexts; 13 peer-reviewed studies suggest consistent but fairly minor increases in estrogen and modest decreases in menopause-related symptoms, often over 6+ months.
▶ 1Amazon - Valeriana officinalis
May improve hot flashes and some insomnia associated with menopause; cited as significant but modest in double-blind placebo-controlled studies.
▶ 1Amazon - Pueraria mirifica
Also called Kwao Krua Kao; four studies showed it to be very potent and comparable to estrogen replacement therapy in reducing menopause symptoms.
▶ 1Amazon - Avoid Purified Fiber Prebiotics as a Default Replacement for Whole Foods
Purified fiber prebiotics are described as a mixed bag and less ideal than diverse plant fibers for fostering microbiota diversity; isolated fibers can produce narrower effects than the complex array of fibers from whole foods.
▶ 1 - Corn Protein Isolate
Suggested as a strong leucine source when the protein is isolated into powder; corn protein is about 12% leucine by protein content.
▶ 1Amazon - Riboflavin
Potentially important methylation-related B vitamin depending on the individual.
▶ 1Amazon - Ethanolamine
Named as a structural lipid-related nutrient with some evidence related to cognitive function.
▶ 1Amazon - B Vitamins to Lower Homocysteine
Recommended when homocysteine is elevated; supplementing to bring elevated homocysteine down was said to improve cognitive function or slow cognitive decline. Benefit depends on adequate omega-3 status.
▶ 1Amazon - Cocoa Flavanols
Only appeared beneficial in those with poor diet quality to start with.
