Listener Q&A:

How To Time Your Vitamins & Supplements

Ahmed says: He has heard you say that you should take certain vitamin supplements only with meals and some without meals. Do you have scientific studies and papers to back this up? Can you share those studies and explain why this is necessary?

In my response, I recommend: -The Art Of Timing Your Vitamins And Supplements – A Helpful Infographic That Ensures You’re Not Just Making Expensive Pee. -Take These Before Meals Multivitamin or multimineral formula Digestive aid for the gallbladder Vitamin B complex Individual B vitamins Vitamin C complex Individual minerals (calcium, potassium, etc.) Iron supplements Lecithin Manganese Protein powder (unless used in diet for blood sugar, weight loss, etc.) -Take These After Meals Vitamin A Vitamin D Vitamin E Vitamin K Chlorophyll (oil soluble) Choline Digestive enzymes (pepsin, HCL, etc., all those except for the gallbladder) Herbs used to aid digestion (comfrey, pepsin, etc.) Inositol Iodine (unless instructed otherwise) Most oils or oil-based nutrients (linseed oil, evening primrose oil, wheat germ, etc.) R.N.A. (ribonucleic acid) Yeast products (Brewer’s yeast tablets, lactic acid yeast, etc.) -Take These Between Meals Chlorophyll (water soluble) Glandulars and similar tissue extracts Most herbs (except for those used in digestion) Phosphorus Sodium products Vitamin D For Sleep

Luke says: He has seen some sleep aids out there with Vit D in them. In terms of the timing for taking Vit D, do you think that could cause circadian dysregulation since we know that Vit D is not just a vitamin but a hormone. Have you seen any studies that show when is the best time to take Vit D?

In my response, I recommend: -Sleep Cocktail Can Testosterone Be Too High?

Phil says: 71-years-old, excellent health, plenty of exercise, no meds, keto diet for about 3 years. Had his testosterone checked about a year ago and it was 800. He bought the JoovV and used it for a few months and now his testosterone is over 1000 - which is above normal limits. He knows that you aren't a doctor but was wondering if this is something he should be concerned about.

In my response, I recommend: -The JOOVV light Does Cool Sculpting Work for Fat Loss?

Tianna says: She has been reading about cold induced thermogenesis for sculpting the body and was wondering if she can just use ice, applied to problem areas, to burn fat?

In my response, I recommend: -How To Burn More Fat With Cold -CoolFatBurner vest -My Get-Fit Guy article on cool sculpting for fat loss
