Supplement Regimens and Pill Fatigue: A Simple Routine
A daily supplement routine is easy to remember, but it can also lead to pill fatigue. I share how I think about supplementing as both art and science: when daily use makes sense, when to take a break, why label directions matter, and a simple schedule for our Iodine, ADK and Immune Support formulas.
Longevity Nutrients: Key Nutrients for Healthy Aging
A long life is good. A long healthy life is better. In this post I group the key longevity nutrients across our Iodine, ADK and Immune Support formulas by what they do: antioxidant support, immune function, bones and heart, brain and mood, energy, and restful sleep. A practical look at nutrition for healthy aging.
Other Supplements – Part 2: Lion's Mane and Collagen
In Part 2, I continue with the other supplements in my routine: lion's mane mushroom, known for supporting memory and focus, plus collagen and magnesium.

Iodine Pills and Nuclear Emergencies – Part 1
With nuclear risks in the news, many people ask me about iodine pills.

Just a Multivitamin? – Part 2: Daily Values Explained
Why do some ADK amounts sit below 100% of the Daily Value while others go well above? In Part 2, I explain what Daily Values actually mean, why most nutrients can come from food, and why I believe modern life, with more time indoors and more environmental stress, calls for extra iodine and vitamin D.

Network Antioxidants: ALA, CoQ10 and Vitamins C and E
Some antioxidants work as a team, recycling and refreshing one another. Glutathione, alpha lipoic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E and CoQ10 make up what are called network antioxidants.

Does Iodine Kill Gut Bacteria? Iodine and Gut Health
If iodine is antimicrobial, what does that mean for iodine and gut bacteria? It is a fair question. Most iodine is absorbed before it reaches the beneficial bacteria in the small intestine, and the form of iodine matters too.

Iodine Dosages: Start Low and Find Your Level
How much iodine should you take? I share how I think about iodine dosage at the milligram level for daily use, why 12.5 mg is the daily target I suggest for most adults, and why starting low and adjusting slowly makes sense, since some people notice adjustment effects early on. Iodine deserves respect, so go at your own pace.
