Developing a Rational Approach to Supplementation for Health & Performance | Huberman Lab Podcast

As a medical doctor, I have seen that if patients are ALWAYS waking up between 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m., that can sometimes indicate an issue with sluggish liver function. This is because those hours are when the liver is most metabolically active (every organ has its own circadian rhythm) - in these cases I have seen that supporting the liver with foods (cruciferous vegetables, beet greens, etc.) and potentially supplements such as milk thistle can significantly improve sleep quality and the ability to stay asleep.

[@uncommon1187]

That’s interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@barbarafairbanks4578]

I'm no doctor, but read and listen to medical lectures often, and that was exactly where my brain went upon hearing the 'waking up way too early' complaint - look to the liver as the culprit. Heard & read it many times. Thanks for confirming.👍

[@SaltedHope]

Very interesting. Thank you! That's actually something I've been dealing with at those times precisely. I'm having a dry year for 2023 and eating clean to improve overall health, so I'm sure this will aspect will improve with it, but I'll look into what you mentioned as far as supplements as well. 😊

The typical educative monologue is far better than interviews. Dr. Huberman's strengths include his didactic, coherent, highly scientific manner of explaining things in plain language, also by adding technical terms which we should all get at least familiar with in order to make informed decisions. KZbin is full of interviews, they do have an educative purpose (a few, sadly), but I believe we lack the habit of processing hard concepts and getting used to this for our own good and Dr. Huberman this is your key strength!

Fact is most brands (including AG1) do not disclose amounts of individual nutrients, so it’s unclear whether there’s enough of each to make an impact. So, how can you recommend something if you don’t know the actual composition?

[@mattjeffsdpt]

Feel free to call me strange for saying this - but I truly prefer your solo episodes, Dr. Hubereman. Don’t get me wrong. Listening to you interact with highly accomplished individuals - like Jocko Willink, for instance - is very enjoyable. Yet - as an educator, trainer and coach myself - I recognize excellence in others when I see it. And as someone who prescribes to the notion to ‘catch someone doing something right’ - I feel its warranted to level praise where its so richly deserved. Thank you, Andrew - you give us all inspiration, and aspiration to be our best selves.

[@donniet685]

One thing that is not mentioned with supplementation are any side effects or negative health benefits from the actual capsules. In most cases to get the recommended/required doses of any given substance the average person has to take 2, 3 or more capsules at a time - even for the highest dosage capsules one can buy on the market. Then think how many different supplements one might take for all the various things. It can work out at a LOT of capsules per day . . .

Hi, I would love to hear episode about 'tinnitius'. It seems to be hard topic, but important for many people. Basic fact: The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) estimates that approximately 10 percent of the U.S. adult population - over 25 million Americans - experience some form of tinnitus.

I went down hard last year and was on disability. In the end I found out (through a naturopath doctor) that I have boat loads of food allergies. Including all the grains, and some from every other category of food. Some notable include dairy, chicken, eggs, food preservatives and additives, soy, peanuts, oranges, lemons, tomatoes, mangos, etc. It's been a struggle to get back. I recently realized I'm dehydrated and have probably been so most of my life. These foods I have allergic to probably all of my life. Last year shortly after getting all these foods out of my diet was the first time I could hold a cat without reacting to it. There has been some progress in the recovery but it's still a struggle. Maybe an episode to help those trying to recover. Things to consider and encouragement. I love all that you do. Thanks!

Great summarizing episode on the use of supplements. Regarding Ashwagandha. You recommend to not use high doses of it for longer than two weeks (1:11:00). At the same time you recommend AG1 as an example for a multi-ingredient supplement for daily usage, which contains Ashwagandha. To my knowledge, the company does not provide any information on how much Ashwaganda it contains. I find it therefor a little bit problematic to be used as a base for other supplements and quite intransparent with respect to their customers.

[@andre-px8rv]

Good eye

[@JD..........]

Shouldn't be an issue. I've researched adaptogens to death, and the dosage in AG is so minute that it couldn't possibly move the needle. A good dose of Ashwagandha is around 1,000 mg. AG has a tiny fraction of that.

[@pedalpusher608]

@@JD.......... Thanks for your reply. So how do you know that their dosage is that minute, if this information is not available, any source for that? Besides, if the dosage in AG1 is minute, can I still consider it to be an effective dose? Otherwise I would ask myself why it is included anyway.....

[@ktnina1]

This is an excellent question that I have often thought. I don’t doubt Andrew’s sincerity, as he was using AG1 for years before the sponsorship.

So I have a few questions I take AG1 every morning but after hearing on this podcast that I should not be taking Ashwagana daily for over 1 month I am confused about taking AG1 now. It obviously contains Ashwaganda but you said it is not enough to affect cortisol levels long term. It looks like there is about 300mg per serving and you stated that taking 300mg 2x/day is good but only for short periods with a 2 week break every 4 weeks. So, 1. Is it still ok to take AG1 daily? 2. Should I take in the morning (you stated not to take ashwaganda before working out) or should I take it in the afternoon? I have been taking first thing in the AM for over a year now. Hoping you see this comment and are able to respond.

So I got a lot of answers to this question in listening to this podcast, but something I’ve always struggled with is waking up multiple times throughout the night (nocturia). It happens regardless of if I drink a lot of liquids before bed at night. I fall asleep easily but wake up multiple times throughout the night, and need to urinate. Sometimes I barely even have the need to urinate very much at all, but if I don’t get up to urinate, I can’t fall back asleep. Often I fall right back asleep after urinating, but sometimes it takes an hour plus to do so. I try and view sunlight directly outside right after sunrise for the correct times of cortical and dopamine release. I try not to drink many liquids right before bed and try to not eat 2 hrs before bed. I rarely consume any caffeine, but if I do it’s before 8AM. You mentioned the idea of Mayo inositol. I’m going to try and mix that with Camomile tea and consume it before bed. I am looking into taking magnesium threonate or bisglycinate. Any other advice I’d really appreciate cause it’s been like this all my life and it’s really annoying and something I’ve just been forced to live with cause I haven’t found a good solution.

[@victoriahoffman7781]

I quite literally struggle with waking up multiple times a night and therefore not being able to get any deep sleep and I feel like shit. My immune system takes a hit. I will then start to feel like I'm sick/getting sick. I also avoid light and especially blue light at a certain time. I drink 2 cups of coffe/day and I'm done by 9 a.m. I drink about 80-100 oz of water a day and I eat and train as an athlete. Heavy weight 3x/week and 149grams of protein a day plus fruits, veggies, complex carbs and very little processed food. I'm talking 90/10 on the real food to non processed and I still sleep like absolute garbage. I listened to Andrew hubermans podcast last year and started.taking magnesium l threonate. BESTTTTTTTTT Sleep I have literally ever gotten in my life!!!! And then around March/April 24, I started noticing my sleep wasn't as great anymore more often than not. I re listened to some of his podcasts and realized I was taking the mag threonate in the morning. He recommends at night. Started doing that and it helped get me right again. Was good for about a week or 2 and then back to shirty sleep. I decided to order the sleep stack he recommends. Still working on trying all the supps in small doses. Last nite I decided to up my intake of mag and took an additional 45 MG of it. Seemed to work wonders. I also started taking the vitamin d3 yesterday that came in the sleep stack as a free gift. Sorry for tye long response but I literally feel your pain. I feel like a completely different human when I sleep well. I feel functionable. And emotionally stable and mentally not down and moody.

I have Ulcerative Colitis, so my diet is slightly restricted. I started taking multivitamins lately because of this to see if my mood and energy levels change. This as well as doing some exercise most days and no sugar in the evening. This video will help a lot to help determine what supplements I might need. Thank you.

Would love to hear Huberman talk about water, and how to achieve optimal water quality for good health. It seems like the most overlooked aspect and I'd imagine he'd say getting good water would be as foundational as a good diet. Also would be curious if he has any knowledge on the synergy between Neem and Turmeric, seeing that is is a powerful Ayurvedic combo.

Dr. Huberman can you please advise on whether taking AG1, Seed pro/prebiotic capsule, Momentus supplements, Mitropure, Kion aminos, and LMNT electrolytes would be a good idea or duplicative?

Dr. Huberman and team, I have a question about AG1. I understand the rationale behind taking an all-in-one foundational supplement to fill any nutritional gaps, but are you at all concerned that AG1 uses proprietary blends and therefore prevents you from knowing the exact quantity of specific ingredients? I understand that many compounds have dose-dependent effects, so this seems like a big drawback. For instance, it's impossible to tell how many milligrams of ashwagandha is contained in a single serving, as it is lumped into the broad category of "herbs & antioxidants". Thank you for everything you do; thanks to your podcast, I am living a happier and more fulfilling life!

Given your extensive knowledge and influence in the health and wellness space, I was hoping you could provide more information about the current studies and research on the use of AHCC for HPV clearance. Your insights and expertise would be greatly appreciated and could have a significant impact on the lives of millions of people affected by this virus.

My daughter is always rolling her eyes “oh, mom, you watched another episode?” - but she is a teen :) Would be great to explain in an episode the effects of stress, pressure, lack of sleep for productivity and work environment. Unfortunately, many managers today still apply industrial age practices, thinking that what people need is more pressure. I am a big believer in creating a great, nurturing work environment and its effects on business success, just that I do not have enough scientific data to prove it.

[@AkilPalanisamy]

I disagree with the statement that fermented foods that are not refrigerated do not have benefits for the gut. Typically these are made with vinegar and contain beneficial acids like lactic acid and acetic acid which help to lower intestinal pH - the acidity of the intestine is crucial for supporting the growth of beneficial microbes and limiting the overgrowth of potential pathogens such as Bacteroides and Candida. Yes, they are less beneficial than fermented foods that are refrigerated which have live probiotic cultures, but if that is all that is available to someone (depending on their local stores) I think they are still supportive of gut health.

[@chshwong]

Hello Andrew, regarding your creatine consumption, do you simply take 5g daily and permanently? Or do you cycle off sometimes. Former is my approach but at 3g, wondering if you're aware of any long term downside. For instance, 20 years from now, would we lose the ability to produce creatine naturally ourselves?

I think cycling it is best. Research on that has not given a definitive answer as far as I can tell.

One suggestion for an allied topic is supplements for muscular skeletal repair. Being active and hitting 70 I have had some wear and tear(s) on my joints, tendons, and ligaments. What supplements aid in the repair of such tissues? I think many people would benefit.

After watching quite a few Huberman pieces, i’ve gotten used to his style and delivery and find myself fast forwarding through each piece of information once he restates the same thing for the second and third time. It’s a little challenging is how many times he says the same thing over and over and over and over. I am pretty sure a 2 hour podcast could reasonably be 45 minutes. Great information, but wow.

This Caffeine vs Coffee(and Yerba Mate) is a very interesting thing for me. I watched the Caffeine podcast but dont remember this being addressed... After trying caffeine tablets for a few weeks I found they really seemed to stop working, but if I drank a coffee I would get a definite buzz. I was taking two-to-three150mg caffeine tablets a day, or two 160mg energy drinks day, and sometimes after dropping a tablet or pounding an energy drink after lunch, I felt more tired than I did right before. But if I drank a coffee, it would perk me up and I'd feel what I expected to feel from coffee.. I really began to depend on coffee to wake me up more effectively than caffeine tablets or energy drinks. Also from the tablets and energy drinks I began to get pain in my kidneys right after consumption of them, and that began to happen even if I swtiched back to coffee and seemed to be induced by any ceffiene, but once I switched back to coffee's for a while the pain was alot less and eventually went away as long as I didn't drink more than 1 or 2 in a day. Anyway I always suspected that the coffee was more balanced/potent due to other chemicals and flavonoids in the coffee. If I overdid the caffeine tablets though I would get alot more side effects, like shakes, anxiety and sleeplessness, than if I drank too many cups of coffee, but both were undesirable.. I buy medium roast beans and grind them myself and feel like I would make a pretty strong bodum. 2-3 cups in the morning and 1 Americano after lunch.. As for Yerbe Mate I find I don't get nearly the buzz that I do from Coffee, even with strong brews. I learned to make a yerbamate + coffee mix, which also helped me with the flavour of yerba mate, which I am not a fan of.

I cannot recommend AG1/Athletic Greens.. I took it only a week and my arsenic levels in a urine test skyrocket.. After that I got my AG1 sample tested for heavy metals in a lab and the test showed that AG1 has an elevated arsenic level. I hardly advice anyone jumping on the supplement bandwagon to get your urine tested for heavy metals regularly! Everytime I see Andrew promoting that stuff it gets me the chills.. but Im sure he gets well compensated for the promotion.

[@smithachandrabose2530]

Hello. I am a subscriber to your podcast and ordered athletic greens. I really wanted to like the product. My husband and I took it for the first month. I found myself "putting off" drinking it after that. I couldn't figure out my reluctance and muscle tested the product. I tested weaker for this product than I have for anything in my life! We both stopped and are now feeling much better. The good news is they refunded the $173 no questions asked. Bad news is the product may not only not work but it may harm your nutrient absorption and distegulate your sleep. I know you have been taking it for many years, Dr. Huberman. I hope you get muscle tested for this product.

Question on fadogia cycling as you’ve had different recommendations on it. On a previous podcast you mentioned: 1. Take 300mg daily and take weekends off 2.

I've looked into this a bit. It seems that Berberine's effects on testosterone levels may be sex dependent (increases T in men, but lowers T in women). More studies are needed but it may have a hormone balancing effect like other adaptogens. I've just started taking it for its touted longevity benefits. I'll only take it before consuming foods that will spike my insulin levels though (bread, rice, pasta, etc.) I generally do intermittent fasting and OMAD during the week. I take other herbs for hormonal balance and to increase testosterone as well.
