Supplements
407protocols, ranked by how often the world’s top health podcasts mention them.
- Take Advil for Mild Menstrual Cramps▶ 1
Some cramps can be managed with a couple of Advil tablets, but this is different from abnormal endometriosis pain.
- Progesterone-Only Birth Control Pills for Endometriosis▶ 1
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.
- GnRH Antagonists▶ 1
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.
- Tamoxifen▶ 1
For women at very high risk of breast cancer, tamoxifen can reduce breast cancer risk by about 50% over the next 10 years.
- Hormone Replacement Therapy▶ 1
Hormone replacement therapy may help relieve menopausal brain fog and related symptoms, and some women report feeling mentally restored with it.
- Yaz▶ 1
Yaz is one birth control formulation that can help relieve PMDD symptoms.
- Avoid Methylene Blue▶ 1
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.
- Avoid Bioavailable Curcuminoids▶ 1
Avoid if DHT is already low or androgen receptor sensitivity is low; examples given include bioavailable turmeric and black pepper extract.
- Malate▶ 1
Suggested as a preferred magnesium-related form; described as best and linked to short-chain fatty acids being good for the gut.
- Ketones During Long Fasts▶ 1
Optional addition during 3-4 day medically supervised fasts; mentioned alongside water and electrolytes.
- Ubiquinol▶ 1
Ubiquinol is used for mitochondrial health. There is stronger evidence for ubiquinone, but ubiquinol is the form used here.
- Sulforaphane Precursor (Glucoraphanin)▶ 1
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.
- Nicotinamide Riboside▶ 1
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.
- Tricyclics▶ 1
Helpful medications for OCD alongside SSRIs.
- GHK-Cu Topical▶ 1
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.
- Ayahuasca▶ 1
Discussed as a psychedelic explored as an antidepressant agent; described as appearing very safe in the cited work, including small sacramental doses in Amazonian tribes.
- Psyllium Husk▶ 1
Supplemental fiber; described as something many doctors are now recommending patients take a little bit of.
