Overview

This video discusses supplements that can potentially enhance the effectiveness of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). It covers vitamin D, CBD, ashwagandha, omega-3 fish oil, and glutathione, explaining their mechanisms, potential benefits, and risks. The speaker emphasizes the importance of a high-quality diet, sunlight, and blood work interpretation as foundational elements before considering supplements.

Key takeaways

• Vitamin D: Crucial for mood and immune function, especially in darker months. It can be "banked" due to its long half-life, and supplementation is recommended for those with limited sun exposure.
• CBD: Can have a synergistic effect with TRT by acting as a natural calming agent, reducing inflammation, and improving sleep. It interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system.
• Ashwagandha: A natural calming agent that can help reduce stress and, in turn, increase LH and testosterone levels in men experiencing stress-induced suppression. However, it can cause lethargy in individuals not experiencing high stress.
• Omega-3 Fish Oil: Clinically dosed omega-3s (2-4g of EPA/DHA daily) can significantly lower triglycerides and improve heart health markers.
• Reduced Glutathione: A patented oral form (Sertia) shows good bioavailability and can improve liver panel markers and reduce inflammation, benefiting those with chronic pain and liver issues.
• Foundational Health: Prioritizing a high-quality diet, sunlight exposure, and understanding blood work are essential before relying heavily on supplements.

The speaker specifically recommends:

• High-quality, bioavailable multivitamins: He mentions Thorne as an example.
• Clinically dosed Omega-3 fish oil: With a recommendation of 2-4 grams of combined EPA/DHA per day.
• Quality protein: Whether from whey protein, meat, or other sources, ensuring adequate protein intake is highlighted.
• Vitamin D: Particularly recommended for individuals in darker climates or during winter months.
• CBD: Mentioned for its potential synergy with TRT, aiding relaxation, sleep, and recovery.
• Ashwagandha (specifically KSM66): Recommended for its stress-reducing properties, which can help increase LH and testosterone levels.
• Oral reduced glutathione (specifically Sertia): Recommended for individuals with liver issues or chronic pain due to its bioavailability and anti-inflammatory effects.
• CBDA: A raw version of CBD, recommended for its anti-inflammatory properties, likened to an NSAID, and beneficial for joint pain and arthritis.
