Supplements—feeling overwhelmed? You’re not alone. With so many options on the market, it’s so confusing to know which are helpful or hype. That’s why today, based on treating patients for over 25 years with diet and supplements alone, I’ll reveal the top 10 supplements that I see make the BIGGEST improvement in my patients’ bloodwork.

Curious about which fish oil is most beneficial? Or what supplements to take if you’re trying to seal a leaky gut? How about vitamin C and which type your body can actually absorb instead of just getting peed out? I reveal these answers and my essential supplements for every budget on this episode.

Plus, I’ll also discuss the supplement touted as the ‘healthy alternative to Ozempic’ or Berberine. Berberine has so many more benefits than its current reputation. And I’ll take a deep dive into these berberine benefits. And finally, I’ll discuss the worst weight loss methods to avoid and also the healthiest weight loss methods.
