The Best Supplements for a Healthier, Happier You! | Dr. Mark Hyman

[@Anne_Onymous]

Supplements have changed my life. I feel better. My labs are unrecognizable. And I got off so many medications. My mom did the same. So grateful!

[@SunraeSkatimunggr]

Yeah, my doctor and I had a real tense argument when I asked her for several blood tests to see if my lifestyle and food changes were working. Needless to say, I didn't get the blood tests. I did get most of them before I went in for spinal fusion surgery, because that doctor knew I had to be in good shape for a surgery. I told her (my doctor) that it makes so much more sense to test to prevent disease from deficiencies. She told me that was not how she had been trained (there is the problem right there!).

[@ksc743]

The relationship between gp's and the pharmaceutical industry is pretty symbiotic. Looks like it's up to us to find online doctors like Dr Hyman and to do our own research.

[@StephenRiccaboni]

As Eric from South Main Auto says, "Well there's your problem, lady!"

[@Leonardokite]

I had the same issue. I use a website called "walk in labs" to be able to schedule test without a doctor.

[@janetmacdonald2823]

💯 You go! Whose body is it anyway? As a patient a doctor angrily tried to push, and a researcher primarily in healthspan, I've been there. Wondered why our U.S. medical outcomes are low, while costs 200% +, among advanced nations. Hmmm.. For 1-1-25 I'm working towards a blog, KZbin channel, see where platforms go. Did come up with DIY methods to clear a near miss in cardio system, didn't notice 60 pounds quietly going away. Till put on 👖, they fell down 😜 This profit based "health care" / Big Pharma $ystem, it's 🤡 🌎. Good to see others looking for what works 🌈 💡

[@tamifagan7399]

Traditionally trained MDs are at odds with functional medicine and osteopathic trained doctors. I think, especially now, they're feeling threatened and they can be quite defensive when you step out of their lane and start requesting additional testing.

[@dianneunderwood8456]

Thank you for a good informational video. As one who is now in her 70's, it is even more important to understand the benefits and roles of supplements. In January i was surfing KZbin and stumbled across some videos dealing with vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Out of curiosity I began watching and realized I was very likely deficient in magnesium (lots of cramps in legs, feet and hands, much trouble sleeping, feeling stressed out). The result was much more research to understand more about it and thus learned how it was also important to also have adequate vitamin D3 along with it. It has taken a few months (from January to June) to restore the balance and now just take a minimal amount (100mg) - a decrease from the 300 mg I was taking daily. This has provided the biggest change for me -- I feel so much better and more engaged in life. My other basic supplements include taking a daily vitamin B complex, Omega 3, D3 and D3 with K2, and vitamin C with zinc. Will also mention my diet is sugar free and gluten-free (and has been for many years). The other change I am implementing is increasing my stomach acid taking olive oil mixed with apple cider vinegar with my meals. Already noticing some benefits with my digestion and overall well-- being. thank you for providing this for us -- it can be life-changing to discover what is missing in your diet.

[@orionxtc1119]

Exact same for me.... I also take cocoa drinks and eat lots of tomatoes...

[@moniquemichelle7295]

I’m taking all of this too. Even down to EVOO. Wonderful to hear. 8’ working towards being gluten and dairy free. I’ve cut it down, but I need to cut it out. Cheers to good health!

Thank you guys for talking about it! I also have anxiety when it comes to money and being financially independent. I actually made a point of not getting into a serious relationship before I could feel comfortable financially and secure in my professional skills. I too always expect my partner to question me about what I buy although he's NEVER done it, not even a hint. The problem is that our generation (I'm 32) grew up surrounded by divorces where women were mostly homemakers whose purchases were always questioned and viewed as frivolous, and they had to fight to get anything from the divorces. This happened between my parents and paternal grandparents (at 60). That is why this fear is embedded in me and in many other women. Carry on, you guys with this podcast!🎉

[@mauromiller7749]

I'll admit I was highly skeptical of supplementations' ability to combat my depression, but I started on folate (methylation complete), fish oil, creatine monohydrate, magnesium glycinate, and a few others about 2.5 years ago. I have now been able to decrease my SSRI dosage from a large dose to half a pill per day and I feel better than ever.

[@margarethogan3551]

Please make a list. That would help us more. Where can you buy a quality multivitamin? There are so many to choose from. How does one choose a good probiotic? There are so many.

Dr. Mark Hyman, can you do a video on high mercury blood levels from eating too much fish? I joined Function Health and my blood work showed high mercury levels. I do not eat sugar, fructose, etc, no seed oils, and no processed foods. I eat grass fed organic beef, pasture raised organic chicken & eggs, organic fruit and veggies. I love seafood, including anchovies and sardines, and I thought I was eating healthy until my mercury levels showed as very high. I also take Omega 3 EPA, DHA.

[@annadonahue4119]

I've heard one benefit of magnesium Glycinate is that it helps chelate mercury so it can be eliminated from the body

Great video, Dr. Hyman. Your emphasis on nutrient deficiencies is spot on. It's clear our modern diets fall short. I appreciate the practical advice on essential supplements. While whole foods are ideal, targeted supplementation can be a valuable tool. Let's encourage more research on supplement efficacy and safety to empower informed choices.

Dr Hyman, can you please advise me as to how to restore my body. I had a stroke in May. And since then I’ve had a heart monitor placed in my chest. What supplements do I need to take for my heart and brain. My short term memory is still not functioning properly. What can you please advise me what to do. Thank you so very much for your help. Blessings

[@sectionalsofa]

Unfortunately, no doctor will give you personal advice on youtube. You can either do a lot of research online regarding cardiovascular health (particularly stroke) or consult a physician trained in lifestyle or wholistic medicine. A good place to start is to google Dr. Joel Kahn and Simon Hill. Dr. Kahn is a plant based cardiologist who recommends lifestyle modifications including supplements. Simon Hill has a great podcast, The Proof with amazing guests who address cardiovascular disease. Dr Kahn has a newsletter and podcast and If you have the funds, Dr Kahn treats patients as well. Personally, I would limit saturated fat and include lots of vegetables, berries and legumes. A little clean fish would probably be good too. Good luck.

My doctors'/lab's lower reference range for ferritin is 5, so over the past 10 years, when my ferritin level (on iron pills) comes back at 23-31, I'm told, "Your iron looks good!" and my complaints of fatigue and weakness are ignored. I had a hematologist/oncologist prescribe IV iron in 2007, and I felt amazing for a few years. I'm curious if Function Health uses established reference ranges or optimal reference ranges.

How much vitamin D can I safely take? I'm taking it but my body is not absorbing it, because I'm still low in vitamin D. Thanks

Be sure to take D3 with K2 so the Calcium stays balanced in your body

[@n.a.l.6136]

The optimum absorption of Vitamin D is reached with Vitamin K (MK-7) and you you can take up to 10000 IU (toxicity happens when ppl take like 100,000/day so no worries) till you reach a level of 60 to 80 then maintain it with a daily dose of 3000 to 5000 IU

Absorption of B12 is tricky, if your level is low despite supplements try a sublingual form. since B vitamins work together supplement them as a group.
