Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@optispan As a longevity scientist, Matt often receives questions about what supplements he takes—so we decided to make an episode where Matt discusses his supplements protocol. This episode isn't meant to provide a playbook for you to follow. We want to emphasize the importance of approaching supplements with discernment and an understanding that they are not a substitute for wholesome nutrition and other healthy lifestyle practices. The allure of supplements is understandable: they promise us vitality, strength, and longevity in a convenient capsule. But their indiscriminate consumption can be risky. Blindly reaching for supplements without considering their necessity or potential interactions with medications could lead to adverse effects. Further, the supplement industry isn't rigorously regulated in many regions, leaving room for mislabeling and contamination. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to supplements. In this episode, Matt discusses his relatively conservative supplements approach, debunks some of the myths associated with supplement consumption, and provides some advice about how to evaluate products that come from a profit-driven industry with few guardrails in place.

Hi, I'm Matt Kaeberlein. I spent the first few decades of my career doing scientific research into the biology of aging, trying to understand the finer details of how humans age in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life. Now I want to take some of that knowledge out of the lab and into the hands of people who can really use it.

On this channel I talk about all things aging and healthspan, from supplements and nutrition to the latest discoveries in longevity research. My goal is to lift the veil on the geroscience and longevity world and help you apply what we know to your own personal health trajectory. I care about quality science and will always be honest about what I don't know. I hope you'll find these videos helpful!
