The 3 Daily Supplements Everyone Should Be Taking For Longevity | Mark Hyman

Our food supply is dramatically less nutrient rich than it has ever been, and it’s taking a toll on our health. A shocking 99 percent of Americans are nutrient deficient, including over 90 percent who are deficient in omega 3 fats and 50 percent who are deficient in magnesium.

In this episode of my Masterclass series, I am interviewed by my good friend and podcast host, Dhru Purohit, about the top supplements for longevity, especially NAD, which inhibits inflammation, increases metabolism, and increases insulin sensitivity. We also discuss how to critically evaluate supplement research and much more.

Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry. His podcast, The Dhru Purohit Podcast, is a top 50 global health podcast with over 30 million unique downloads. His interviews focus on the inner workings of the brain and the body and feature the brightest minds in wellness, medicine, and mindset.

I like Mark's videos - Cliff's note version: (15 min in) 1) Good quality Multi-vitamin 2) good quality fish oil - he mentions Dutch Harbor Omega 3) Vitamin D. Additional mentions: Magnesium and a Probiotic.

Shortened version:

General supplements with a healthy diet/lifestyle as your base foundation, if you don't have a healthy diet and lifestyle, supplements won't do much:
Start listening at 13:25-17:35
1. A good high quality multivitamin
2. A good high quality fish oil
3. A good high quality of Omega-3
4. Vitamin D3/Vitamin K2
5. Magnesium
6. Probiotic

Top 3 Longevity supplements:
Start listening at 22:55-30:58
1. NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide)
2. HTB Rejuvenate (Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat)
3. A Phyto Polyphenol blend

BTW I actually love the long podcasts. I love hearing the science and how everything connects so I don't mind the length. Very informative!

Boy do I wish Dr. Hyman was my doctor, in general! What a blessing he is!

[andreavanda]

Dr. Hyman is an iconoclast and a healer in every sense of the word. He is a medical pioneer who is unafraid to go against established rules and norms to bring true healing to humanity.

As to the patient he talked about who was an apple shape with skinny arms and legs…perfect glucose but sky high insulin. These are the hallmarks of Cushing’s Disease/ Cushing Syndrome.
When cortisol goes high, insulin does too. They are joined together in a loop.

I speak from intimate experience…perhaps one of the few people in the world who knowingly lived with 2 people with Cushing’s Disease: my daughter and my late husband. Both were undiagnosed for 30 years. Both eventually had their pituitary tumors removed. Both had extensive damage from all the years not treated.
We all learned and became educated how to handle the aftermath of the disease.
Both lost their pituitary function.
My daughter now has to regulate everything and has CGM’s to help manage some of the hormones.
My husband’s blood pressure killed his kidneys and he died of kidney failure 3.5 yrs ago (10 yrs after surgery).
Both became experts in blood sugar management.

Our medical system is completely broken if human health is a goal!

[garymyers]

Glad he mentioned Vitamin K2 along with D.

As we get older the main things that decline with age in the body are: NAD+, Glutathione, Alpha Lipoic Acid, COQ10, and Collagen. NAD+ can be boosted with vitamin B3, Alpha Lipoic Acid will boost Alpha Lipoic Acid levels of course, but also will raise Glutathione levels. COQ10 can be taken as Ubiquinol/Ubiquinone, and Vitmain C taken every 3-4 hours orally will boost collagen.

My Greatgrandma lived to be 103 years old she didn't know about supplements at all, and my Grandma too. Their eyes and teeth were healthy. Strong heart without going to the Gym.

DR HYMAN IS ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE DOCTORS I CAME ACROSS ❤ THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH ❤

[jameslewis]

I clicked. Reading the paper. Strict carnivore since 1/2023. Off BP meds, Humira Shots, Metformin. I have lost 75lbs. Will never leave the Carnivore diet. Thank you for all you do.

In addition to what I've heard here, so far, there's another aspect to nutrients. As an analogy, if you take all the materials to build a house and dump them on a lot, they don't make a house. They don't design and assemble themselves into a house. Someone has to do it. I believe that nutrients are the same way. We need them to be available in our bodies for health, but we also need to be able to utilize them. Health is something we do. This involves the four primary aspects of being human; physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual. That is lived out by such things as exercise, diet, stress resistance and reduction (meditation), sleep, clean air and water, healthy relationships with oneself and others, internal peace, a healthy self image, etc. We have the ability to actively become who we want to be. We will become who and what our choices make us and our attitudes and awareness influence our choices.

Dr Hyman. It just doesn't get any better than all the data and reasoning you give to us to help us live better. Thank you for this episode, in particular.

[msmellenb]

[Johntron]

Dr. Westman, thank you for your honest, unbiased review of all these videos. You are truly a gem

[jlind]

[fabzy]

This is very touching man... I too have gone through a stage in my life were my doctor told me i was near deaths door and the very same light switch hit me to change the way i was living and eating and its true parents were not to clued up on what a healthy lifestyle was but i totally agree that this message needs to be spread to the people because we all been lied to and this can not be sugar coated at all...

[johnhancock]

Dear Doctor Hyman, what a fantastic health video. Probably No 1 in the hundreds I have watched. I'm going to watch it again, with a notepad, so all those gems of information are accessable and usable. John Hancock
