Hi Chris, I will start by saying I am a fan of your show, you and what you stand for. But, if we mere mortals buy into everything the price is through the rooof. Granted there's a discount but is there any chance you can recommend supplements for the average Joe who earns 35k a year. A months supply of your faves is way over 250 per month. We all can't afford this.

I would say you only really need vitamin D in the winter in most parts of the states at least and during cloudy days.

@@mattpolinsky4234 the only way your skin creates the correct amount of vitamin D is if you are a day laborer out in the sun ALL day. Anyone who works indoors needs to supplement in some way. That said, your food might be enough supplementation on its own depending on your diet to meet your needs. The thing is that the effects are brutal when you are low on vitamin D to the point where it's safer to just take it year round. Plus, one of the omega supplements they mentioned Nordic Naturals (and I'm sure many others) has a version that contains D which is nice since it's fat soluble and makes it easier to just take all the time.

2:13 on creatine I don't know Tim Ferris's take on Creatine, but I will take a wild guess and say there's a misunderstanding here. Peter is talking about the old-school "loading phase", which indeed isn't needed. But I'm guessing Tim's take goes along the lines of _always_ taking 10-20g creatine instead of 5g - there seems to be some very slight evidence on why this might be beneficial, but we will need more time to be sure - still, since creatine intake has virtually no drawbacks, some people rather have potentially excess of creatine than lack of it (I believe Huberman is, currently, in this camp of thought as well). Also, regarding Peter's suggestion about decreasing creatine intake in case you have some kind of IBS, you can indeed do that, but there's another way around it: just split your daily dose into two or three servings and spread them across the day (e.g: instead of 5g/1x/day turn it into 2.5g/2x/day) and your tummy will be fine.

I don't really like answers where you say: "What should I be doing, for general health" and Peter Attia responds with "ehhhh well it's complicated, depends, details, titrations, etc etc", followed up with "yeah well I'm basically doing it for general benefit, it's all-around good" so what was the point of the speech about how it's complicated, depends on your titrations, etc? Is Peter Attia actually suggesting that the average person should track intake of "several different types of magnesium"? In general, with Peter Attia, I think what you need to get up-front is a statement on his certainty relative to his current claims or practices. How likely is he to discard this practice in 1-2 years because he's basically just experimenting with his own body, and it doesn't give good data?

[@pc15494]

I think thats the point of the preamble at the beginning right? he's fully aware that his statements and certainly his own regiment is not going to be optimal for a large group of people. Also, he hosts hour long podcasts on these various topics where they do deep dives into the current literature. I don't think its a bad thing to change as the science and evidence changes.

Achilles / ligament / tendon tears are related to Liver issues in Classical Chinese Medicine. I see it all the time with patients. I work on their livers with acupuncture, herbs and diet -- and, probably most importantly -- laying off the alcohol. I've never seen a compliment get their joints way better when following this approach. Even really old injuries, tears and surgeries get way better / completely better with this.

@@Lieutenant-Dan Thanks mate, I study this, I understand you have done your research but - You don't necessarily need to undergo a blood test just to determine if you should take supplements like vitamin D, magnesium, or omega-3s, especially if you're using them for common issues like cramps or sleep. These supplements are often safe for the average person to take without specific testing, as they're generally considered beneficial for overall health. However, if you have specific concerns or conditions that may affect your nutrient levels, consulting a healthcare professional can help you make informed decisions about supplementation. Otherwise, incorporating these supplements into your routine based on common needs or preferences is generally sufficient.

My husband has ruptured his Achilles and ruined his knee trying to be athletic, too quickly, as an adult. And yes, he was a basketball player. He got a trainer who was NOT trained well, and had him doing explosive dynamic sprints a week into training. He also advised him to do a “cleanse” with water, cayenne and maple syrup for two weeks…and he is a construction worker who sweats all day long. I was mortified when I learned all this. I absolutely called the gym. That gym fired 3 of the trainers he had. Don’t get me started.

[@BrofUJu]

That is insanity, lol. Cleanses are not a thing.

[@user-ii7xc1ry3x]

"cleanse" is one of those buzzwords that if your trainer tells you about you should run ASAP 🤣

@@BrofUJui did a 10 day cleanse and it was the best thing i ever did in my life

[@christopher3963]

Does your hunger not motivate you?

[@mistro0014]

@christopher3963 motivates me to do what? Ask my employer for more money even though I make more than half the factory? To be honest, it motivates me to find somewhere cheaper to live but unfortunately I can't move at the moment because of family reasons. Should I go back to school at nearly 50 and take on $100k in student loans? I'm not pointing the finger at anyone else because my situation is my fault caused by my life choices. It's just frustrating to see so many millionaires and billionaires while seeing so many people living paycheck to paycheck

He really missed the question on creatine, When asked about much higher doses 10-20 grams, the benefits were not workout related, and it was not about loading, There are other studies that show 10 or more grams per day have benefits beyond working out, more into the cognitive brain benefits and others.

[@Trohssemaj]

I would have thought that a health and longevity expert would have more clarity and precision with dosages that he is recommending.

[@elmateo77]

He really can't do that, for 2 reasons. 1. There's not much good medical research on most of these supplements studying the efficacy and possible side effects at different dosages. The ideal dosage also depends on many factors such as weight, age, metabolism, etc. 2. If he gave specifics he'd be legally liable if somebody had negative effects at the amount he recommended.

[@themydnighthour]

It makes me really wonder....does actual food not work for nutrition anymore?

[@Madonnalitta1]

Exactly. Supplements shouldn't be necessary.

[@roel.vinckens]

Only if you grow it yourself or have the possibility to go full organic.

[@mhuntprofessional]

Depends on what "actual food" means to you. Even farm grown tends to be mass produced and lacks nutrients due to overproduction. And if you compare the taste of home grown veggies to a good deal of supermarket produce, you can ABSOLUTELY tell the difference. But the more important question is: When we live in a time with better supply chain access to any and EVERY type of food or supplemented nutrient possibly available from literally EVERYWHERE in the world, why would you NOT utilize that access? This isn't the time in history where you could have gone your entire life having never even heard of a pomegranate. You can go to basically any store and buy one. Or if you don't care for sucking seeds for healthy juice, you can Amazon order a supplement that has all the health benefits of doing that sent directly to you. That logic applies to everything. You have more access to international foods, spices, herbs, and all goods than any king who lived before you. And most people just want to eat McDonald's and maybe take a multivitamin now and then...

most of these supplements are abundant in animal meat. Curcumin is NOT necessary. For some it can cause stomach issues. Attia is always talking supplements... wonder why?

[@snakejazz]

You can buy creatine in capsule form too. I would always forget to drink it but I never forget to take them in pill form with my other supplements.

[@Rocko1990]

It's probably just quite a few capsules to get 5g. But could also encapsulate yourself

[@snakejazz]

@@Rocko1990 I do 2 before the gym and 2 after, the capsules are a little bigger than most--they hold about 750mg each. I get plenty of creatine from other food sources throughout the day so it's just to cover my bases with it. Making my own capsules is quite annoying busy work for me and I just don't have the tim, used to make them with other things in the past though.

Homocysyeine levels were higher for 3 blood panels so i asked dr who said nothing what should i do. She added folate. 1000 mg. No improvement after months.

Currently i take 1000 methylated B6 and a regular B vit.

Thanks for this great talk. I'm already taking 4 of them (no TMG yet, but planning to add it), but tbh I was starting to consider stopping curcumin. I'm hearing more and more people telling there's no benefit, and even some drawbacks, taking it. At 2:12 I'm not sure who you were thinking about, but Andrew Huberman takes from 10 to 15 g of creatine daily. He says the amount should be based on your body weight, and he's quite heavy (around 100kg).
