Nutritional "Biohacking" With Supplements
"Biohacking" has become the buzzword of the quest to discover and implement many discoveries for a long healthspan, not just lifespan. I listen to longevity podcasts, watch videos, study research, and have read and listened to many of the latest books on this subject. I'm sharing it with you as the "AgeStrong Doc".
You and those you care about can have a MUCH healthier and longer life if you implement some or all of these nutrients into your daily routine.

My TOP 3 That Will Improve Your Health for SURE:
1. Omega-3 Balance Oil (First Order with Home Blood Test) CLICK HERE
2. Essential Minerals I believe EVERYONE in the USA is mineral deficient CLICK HERE
3. Boost Your Glutathione: GlyNAC-ET CLICK HERE (Amazon)
These 3 together are only about $124/month...best money you'll spend on supplements.
NOTE: Go on a monthly subscription for the Balance Oil and the Minerals to save money. They are now part of the same company (Zinzino). I HIGHLY recommend doing the blood test when you start with the Omega-3 because it will show how INFLAMED you are, and after 4 months of Autoship (only $47/month) they will send you a free test kit so you can see how well it's working.
Start with those 3. I discuss them below:
Our foods are FILLED with poisons...it's CRIMINAL in my opinion. We are consuming 17 times more of the INFLAMMATORY Omega-6 fats than we did 25 years ago. No wonder chronic disease is skyrocketing.
Omega-3 fatty acids are so important for decreased inflammation and brain health; important for preventing things like dementia, along with many other benefits. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF IT IS WORKING or is a WASTE?
TAKE THE HOME BLOOD TEST! Order this product with the blood test and find out for yourself. 99% of Americans are IMBALANCED.
My videos below cover the subject...it may shock you! I recorded it in 2024...I'm already a couple of years older, and my whole family takes the Balance Oil daily and wouldn't miss it!
Want to DEEP DIVE even more? Here is a website I created with all the important information: CLICK HERE
As I said above, to place an order, click on the following link (CLICK HERE) and you'll receive the blood test you do at home and the first month's supply of the Omega-3 BalanceOil+. If you go on the monthly subscription (it's only $47) they'll send another test FREE after 4 months so you can see how well it works for you. If you need help to order, please contact me so I can register you as a customer directly.
Essential Minerals
Minerals: I believe EVERYONE in the USA is mineral deficient, and this is the best product on the market. I've been taking it for years. It's an Ionic form of LIQUID MINERALS. It comes from plant sources, and it tastes good. 1-3 ounces a day and you'll get 65-70+ trace and ultra-trace minerals absorbed into your body. This has been a game-changer for many of my patients over the years. Here is a Fact Sheet on the product: CLICK HERE
EVERYONE with degenerative discs who are undergoing decompression should take this product. It provides important building blocks to rebuild the discs.
They've recently been purchased by Zinzino (the Omega-3 company above). TO ORDER, CLICK HERE
Want to DEEP DIVE on WHY is imperative to take these minerals? I highly recommend listening to the BEST talk on the subject, the one that changed my life, it's called "Dead Doctors Don't Lie. Learn Why the Lifespan of the Average MD is only 58 Years" by Dr. Joel Wallach. It's over an hour so break it up for easy listening, but it's great: CLICK HERE

NAC + Glycine
"GlyNAC-ET"
This must-take supplement is Glycine plus N-Acetyl L-Cystine Ethyl Ester, also known as "GlyNAC-ET". This boosts a very important chemical in the body called glutathione. I've been preaching about glutathione and mitochondria since 2008, and now everyone's catching up.
Here's Dr. Steven Gundry discussing what glutathione is, why you cannot simply eat glutathione (it's too large), and the proper supplement to take to boost it (hint: it's in this recommended form above. I was ahead of Gundry on this): CLICK HERE
Here's the link to ORDER this product on Amazon: CLICK HERE
So, the 3 most IMPORTANT pieces of advice I have is take the "BIG 3"
The Balance Oil, the ESSENTIAL MINERALS, and the GlyNAC-ET
Want to go further with your Health and Nutrition?
You can do what my wife and I do and take the supplements we take.
Yes, it costs money. We spend about $1200/month on our supplements EACH.
Good health is the best insurance for a healthy lifespan; it's non-negotiable for us.
Our health is a high priority. God, Family, Country, and our Personal Health.
That's the priority list for us.
We get chiropractic adjustments regularly...keeps the spine healthier and more flexible; we don't want to be a bent-over, stiff, and arthritic old person. We're both approaching our 70's, and we feel like we're in our 40's.
So, adjustments, exercise, good diet, and supplementation are my personal formula for good health and a great healthspan. What's your plan?
In addition to what's above, here are other supplements my wife and I take daily.
My wife Rebeccah (who also has a chiropractic degree and is passionate about health and nutrition) and I have spent YEARS studying the research and are now sharing below the supplements we take, some of which are NEW (like Urolithin A and Akkermansia), and some we've taken for years. These are in no particular order. Add in to your regime what interests you...we take all these every day.
Nattokinase
Helps with Cardiovascular Health!
Removes Plaque and Lowers Blood Pressure
Read the Study Below!
Taking Statins? High Blood Pressure? Calcium Score High? THIS is a recently-proven BIG DEAL. It's called Nattokinase and it comes from fermented soybeans.
There is a GREAT study published in 2022 that showed a 36% reduction in arterial plaque: CLICK HERE Joe Rogan discussed it on X: CLICK HERE The study showed effective dosage at 10,600 FU/day. Here's another study: CLICK HERE Regarding the Nattokinase product I take, Pure Blood, take 4 capsules/day to get the 10,800 FU they used in the studies . You can take with a baby aspirin if clotting or athersclerosis is an issue for you, especially if you have a high Calcium Score. If you're on blood thinners be sure to let your doctor know as they may want to decrease your medication. Order this on Amazon: CLICK HERE

The Gut Microbiome May be the Controller of Our Health!
I'm TOTALLY blown away by the recent discoveries of the IMPORTANCE of having a healthy gut...called the microbiome. The "bugs" in our gut TELL our BRAIN what to do! Dr. Steven Gundry's book "Gut Check" spun my head as well as pretty much all biohackers on the subject.
BREAKTHROUGH probiotics are available through Pendulum. They created the first lab that grew anaerobic gut bacteria, it had NEVER been done before! You can order at Fullscript (below). Akkermansia is the MOST IMPORTANT, KEYSTONE friendly for your gut, so for serious health problems, take that one. We take their Metabolic Daily, which has Akkermansia and 3 others. If you have blood sugar issues, Glucose Control is proven to lower A1C levels by the gut bacteria alone! The GLP-1 product has PROVEN to help decrease cravings, leading to WEIGHT LOSS! This is part of the healthspan puzzle!

Magnesium
Most people are VERY LOW in magnesium, and it's IMPORTANT for about 300 body functions! It's a CHALLENGE to get enough from our diets...it's just not in the soils like it used to be...it's that simple.
Men should get 400-420mg/day and women 310-320mg/day. We take 3 types daily.
For BRAIN HEALTH, take the Magtein brand Magnesium Threonate. It's patented and clinically-proven Amazon: CLICK HERE
For MUSCLE strength, take Magnesium Malate. Amazon: CLICK HERE
Before bed, we take the Glycinate form of Magnesium (pictured below) has the added benefit of helping you SLEEP soundly. We can attest to that! Buy the Pure product from Fullscript: CLICK HERE
Vitamin C
This is VERY IMPORTANT to take. We've been promoting larger quantities of Vitamin C since 1994. You're probably lower on it than you think. This Vitamin C powder provides about 1400mg per tiny scoopful. I take 2 scoops a day in my protein shake. Take up to 1000mg/hour if you're getting sick (stop at the point you reach diarrhea according to Dr. Linus Pauling, Nobel Prize Winner) Order from Fullscript: CLICK HERE
We also take extra Vitamin C with these Pure Brand capsules. It's more convenient than the powder and we take that first thing in the morning. Humans NEED a lot of Vitamin C! Order from Pure on Fullscript:
Vitamin D3 and K2
Vitamin D3 is vital and many people are deficient, even in California. It's IMPORTANT for a LOT of things, INCLUDING your gut health, who knew? You need Vitamin K2 with the D3. This is what we take. See Pure Encapsulations on Fullscript: CLICK HERE
NMN
NMN is one of the greatest recent discoveries for Anti-aging. Google search Dr. David Sinclair's information; he has done several interviews with Joe Rogan about this. You have probably heard about the importance of NAD+ for longevity. NMN is the precursor to NAD+, and it's the BEST way to elevate NAD+ levels; IV NAD+ is expensive and ineffective. This powder is the best we've found for the price. We never miss taking it daily (along with Resveratrol below). Buy directly: CLICK HERE
B-Complex
This is the B-complex vitamin supplement we take daily. Has methylated B12 and methylated folate, which is what you want. Order from Thorne on Fullscript: CLICK HERE
Protein Powder
THORNE Protein Powder. We've tried MANY products and this one has the right combination of protein source and price. Vegan is also available from Thorne on Fullscript and Free Shipping: CLICK HERE
Creatine
Creatine is a very important supplement for maintaining and increasing muscle growth. New research shows that 10 grams of creatine a day is VERY beneficial in preventing Alzheimer's; 20g if you're already showing signs of mental challenges. It's NOT just for weightlifters! Big-time important for women, BTW. I now consider it a must-have. It's totally SAFE, too, and yes if you are trying to build muscle, it makes a big difference. We take this one every day from THORNE. Order at Fullscript: CLICK HERE
MCT Oil
MCT Oil If you've been hearing about the health benefits of being in "Ketosis" you've probably heard about the miraculous benefits of MCT oil. It comes from coconut oil and helps you BURN FAT! Put some extra on your salads, in coffee (I put some in mine every day with the powder below), and everywhere else you can squeeze it in...it has fantastic effects on your metabolic health. This brand has both caprylic (C8) and capric (C10) fatty acids, which are the ones that work. Costco has a good one, or order this one from Amazon: CLICK HERE
MCT Powder for Coffee Creamer and other uses
It's the BEST Keto-friendly MCT powder I've found, and it tastes great. MCT creates a "caloric bypass", causing you to "waste" calories...thus lose weight! Put it in your coffee instead of milk or other creamers, and it will not break your intermittent fast either. Tastes GREAT in coffee, and I also put it into my workout drink. Get lots of MCT into your body. Available through Amazon: CLICK HERE
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
We recommend taking Extra Virgin Olive Oil DAILY. Dr. Gundry jokingly says the purpose of eating is to get as much olive oil into your body as possible every day! We have olive oil at least once a day.
Actually, a good EVOO is the Kirkland brand at Costco (only get the ones in the dark glass bottles) is EXCELLENT. There are so many health benefits! Take a tablespoon by itself every day (and put it on your salad along with avocado and balsamic vinegar).
Olive Leaf Extract
For added convenience, you can take these Olive Leaf capsules as well. Easy to travel with.
Olive Leaf Extract provides many of the crazy benefits of olive oil in a convenient capsule. Olive Leaf extract helps to promote a healthy environment for cells. Supports the immune system and promotes a healthy microbiome...it feeds your "gut buddies". Order from Pure on Fullscript: CLICK HERE
Resveratrol
Resveratrol has been shown to help the brain and energy production, and increased lifespan. There is so much research proving it's a MUST HAVE. Anyone looking to maximize their lifespan and healthspan should be taking this, along with NMN. We take it with olive oil every day. This particular product has the research and is priced right through Amazon: CLICK HERE
Saffron and Curcumin
Saffron is one of the most prized foods on earth. It's proven to help mood and depression, is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, and helps PMS. We take it daily. Get it from Fullscript: CLICK HERE
Want to Lose Weight? Berberine DEFINITELY Helps
Lots of other health benefits, too. We take it daily!
Do you want to lose weight or just maintain the proper weight? SEE MY PAGE ON WEIGHT LOSS Berberine is PROVEN to help. It is a POTENT mitochondrial uncoupler...it causes your body to WASTE energy; that is a GREAT benefit. It also increases fat burning and increases metabolism. It also reduces blood sugar and insulin levels. This is a great product for EVERYONE (we take it daily). In his Gundry talk (episode 298 on his podcast), about halfway through he talks all about Berberine. Take it with Inositol for best absorption. This is a good, inexpensive Berberine through Amazon: CLICK HERE
Do You Intermittently Fast?
Take Essential Amino Acids
I regularly intermittently fast, AKA time-restricted eating. I'm convinced it is a great way to improve metabolic health and keep the weight down, among many other benefits. Gundry has podcasts about how to implement this in your life.
One big enhancement I've recently discovered is to supplement with 5 grams of Essential Amino Acids every morning. It won't break the fast, yet if provides necessary building blocks so you don't cannibalize your muscles while intermittently fasting. This is the brand I take. Get it from Amazon HERE
Testosterone Booster
Like most men over 40 my testosterone level is lower than ideal. I tried the injections and while it did work, it is not only painful, and expensive, but I believe it gave me blood clots.
So, I now take a supplement that boosts it, and it worked for me, proven by my testosterone blood test, with no downside. Buy it from Amazon HERE
Longevity Alert! Urolithin-A
THIS is a recently-discovered BREAKTHROUGH product! It's called Urolithin-A. Never heard of it?Google Urolithin A; it's important for health and longevity and we take it every day. Here's Dr. Gundry talking about it: CLICK HERE It's one of the greatest discoveries for longevity. I'm psyched about it because it affects MY FAVORITE biohacking part of the cell, the MITOCHONDRIA. This induces mitophagy...look it up! There are very expensive brands out there, but I found this one with 3rd-party testing and high ratings on Amazon for much less. CLICK HERE
Weight Loss Peptide Drops
This is something NEW and exciting. GLP-1 Weight Loss Peptide drops that decrease appetite and help with a leaky gut. I just started taking them and so far so good. Check out more information on the Weight Loss page on this website or CLICK HERE
