Products they talk about

Acacia Fiber👍 Recommends
…low FODMAP prebiotic fiber option for sensitive digestive systems

on The Dr. Josh Axe Show
Alligic Acid / Urolithin A Supplements👍 Recommends
…polyphenol supplement from pomegranates supporting mitochondrial cleanup
“Now, the first compound found in some supplements is choline alligate in urolithin A. Now, I like choline alligate even better than urolithin A. Okay? You've probably heard of urolithin A if you are into the longevity space. It's good. It's what's converted in the gut.”
on The Dr. Josh Axe Show
Aloe Vera👍 Recommends
…healing herb for coating and soothing damaged gut mucosal lining
“Number six here is aloe vera. Just like aloe vera helps heal a burn on your skin, it helps heal ulcers, and it helps heal damage in your digestive lining. Aloe is almost mucosy itself. It actually helps cover and coat and heal the mucosal layer of the gut.”
on The Dr. Josh Axe Show
Alpha Lipoic Acid👍 Recommends
…antioxidant supplement for blood sugar and metabolic support
“And I tend to stack them with, um, with, with some of the more modern, uh, minerals or vitamins that are found in more supplements like a chromium and an alpha lipoic acid. Yeah.”
on The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Alpha Lipoic Acid👍 Recommends
…recommending alpha-lipoic acid supplement for reducing oxidative stress on liver

And David Perceived He Was King👍 Recommends
…recommending a book about building strong identity based on King David's life
“There's a book I love on identity that really dives into this, and it's called, And David Perceived He Was King by Dale Mast.

on The Dr. Josh Axe Show
Apple Pectin👍 Recommends
…recommending pectin as gentle binder for long-term detoxification
“Instead doing things like spirulina and chlorella, apple or citrus pectin, zeolites, humic and fulvic acid, these are much better for long-term use. In fact, what I personally do is I do a probiotic that's very high, oftentimes in humic acid and higher in probiotics. And I think that's also great. These will bind to things in your gut and help you detoxify. So doing those gentle binders, again, like chlorella, like pectin, like humic acid and probiotics, those are really great options.”
on The Dr. Josh Axe Show
Ashwagandha👍 Recommends
…herbs for boosting body warmth and anabolic function in hypothyroidism
“Herbs like ashwagandha. Yeah. Rhodiola rosea. Those are amazing for that. What are the best foods? Well, one, people, I see this all the time, people with thyroid. They're eating a lot of salads and doing a lot of cold smoothies. Those are cooling. We need to warm the body. You need to be doing soups and red meat and things to build up, become more anabolic.”
on The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Ashwagandha👍 Recommends
…recommending ashwagandha as adaptogen for cortisol reduction
“Next up, now this is my other favorite outside of magnesium glycinate, and it is ashwagandha. Typically, I recommend a dosage of around 600 milligrams to 900 milligrams daily. This can reduce cortisol levels by up to 30% in chronically stressed individuals. By the way, there are so many fantastic studies showing ashwagandha brings cortisol back into balance.”
on The Dr. Josh Axe Show
Ashwagandha👍 Recommends
…herbal supplements that lower cortisol and improve sleep

Athletic Greens👎 Not a fan
…superfood powder compared to other nutrition supplements
“You know, there was a study that came out on, uh, athletic greens being essentially non-beneficial. Yeah. And, um, and you know, what they're putting in there is they're putting in a few synthetic vitamins and minerals, a little bit of, uh, you know, greens powders and apple powder. And that's what's in there. And so, yeah, it's not going to be a big needle mover for people. Listen, I don't think it's harmful. Right. But, but it's, it's, it's, it's probably one of the lower grade superfood powders on the market. I'll give it a, I don't know, a D rate. It's not harmful. So let's give it a C minus. Right.”
on The Dylan Gemelli Podcast
Atomic Habits👍 Recommends
…explaining how to reduce friction for good habits and increase friction for bad ones

But, but it's, it's, it's, it's probably one of the lower grade superfood powders on the market. I'll give it a, I don't know, a D rate. It's not harmful. So let's give it a C minus. Right. And, but there are so many others that are better. Like the one that I take now, it's really high in beetroot juice powder, which I think beetroot juice powder is fantastic for increasing nitric oxide. Right. Great for heart health. Great for energy. Great for building blood. So many things.”

So I'll recommend a bayberry leaf, which is where berberine comes from. Right. So we'll do berberine. We'll do gymnosah. We'll do bitter melon. And then, so I'll do those. And I tend to stack them with, um, with, with some of the more modern, uh, minerals or vitamins.”

Berkey Filter👍 Recommends
…recommending water filtration systems to reduce toxic chemical exposure

So I would say I'm protein, getting more protein in your diet. Most of it should come from food. Yeah. But powders as well, especially a powder that's bone broth based. You're also getting something in there called glucosaminoglycans. If you're doing a protein powder that's bone broth based. Yeah. That includes glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid.

Chlorella👍 Recommends
…patient detoxification protocol including spirulina and chlorella supplements
“We did some N-acetylcysteins to support glutathione, and just put her on a really advanced detoxification protocol. After three months, her brain fog lifted, her resilience returned. Actually, she was able to get married, even have a baby, and her health was completely renewed. But she had been to 10 other doctors, both conventional and natural, and they weren't able to figure out what was going on. We did a combination of things. We did a little bit of blood work. I did something called a tongue diagnosis, and her looking at her patient history, and her body was toxic. One way I can tell this in Chinese medicine is if the color of somebody's tongue has an underlying bluish-purple color, that's called, in Chinese medicine, liver stagnation. It means the liver is really blocked and backed up. Now, from her history as well, she was dealing with chronic constipation. That's another big warning sign. And we also found that she had the MTHFR gene, and so we looked at that. And so I put her on a protocol, which included juicing some vegetables, doing a lot of fruits and vegetables, doing things like spirulina chlorella.”

But she had been to 10 other doctors, both conventional and natural, and they weren't able to figure out what was going on. We did a combination of things. We did a little bit of blood work. I did something called a tongue diagnosis, and her looking at her patient history, and her body was toxic. One way I can tell this in Chinese medicine is if the color of somebody's tongue has an underlying bluish-purple color, that's called, in Chinese medicine, liver stagnation. It means the liver is really blocked and backed up. Now, from her history as well, she was dealing with chronic constipation. That's another big warning sign. And we also found that she had the MTHFR gene, and so we looked at that. And so I put her on a protocol, which included juicing some vegetables, doing a lot of fruits and vegetables, doing things like spirulina chlorella.”
