Episode notes
ADVICE

Be Cautious With Daily Supplements

  • Avoid relying on receptor-active supplements daily; they can downregulate your receptors and harm long-term signaling.
  • Cycle receptor-active vitamins like B complex and take vitamin D via sun exposure when possible.
INSIGHT

Microbiome Controls Nutrient Use

  • The microbiome performs most metabolic work and mediates how nutrients become available to the body.
  • Health depends on microbial communication, not just isolated nutrient intake.
ADVICE

Cycle Receptor-Active Vitamins

  • If you use receptor-active supplements, cycle them rather than taking daily to let receptors re-equilibrate.
  • Back off B-complex use several days a week after surges to restore responsiveness.
