Essentials: Developing a Rational Approach to Supplementation for Health & Performance

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how to develop a rational supplementation protocol tailored to your specific needs, nutrition and budget. I discuss foundational supplements and single-ingredient supplements for sleep, hormone support and cognitive enhancement and focus, including how to test individual ingredients, choose appropriate dosages and cycle certain compounds. I also explain why behavioral tools and nutrition remain the foundation for mental health, physical health and performance.
