Supplements Amplify Lifestyle, Not Replace It
- Supplements can meaningfully support metabolic health when used wisely alongside diet and exercise.
- Dr. Ford Brewer says the right supplements amplify lifestyle, not replace it.
Target Four Mechanisms For Metabolic Support
- Focus supplements on four mechanisms: mitochondria, inflammation, muscle metabolism, and stress/hormone balance.
- Use targeted nutrients to support energy production, lower inflammation, improve glucose uptake, and normalize stress hormones.
Slow Carb Absorption With Specific Nutrients
- Create a 'speed bump' at digestion to slow carb breakdown and blunt glucose spikes.
- Use ingredients like reducose (white mulberry), berberine, and fenugreek to reduce glucose absorption and insulin response.
