Supplementation for Health and Performance

Supplements have emerged as a mainstay within the health and wellness community over the last 20 years. They're designed to augment nutrition and can be a powerful tool within a larger system aimed at customizing tools for our mental, physical health, and performance. However, it's important to remember that there's no pill that can replace the foundational protocols of quality sleep, exercise, and nutrition from foods.

Some people use supplements for short-term benefits, particularly to enhance cognitive and athletic performance. However, the effectiveness of these supplements is largely dependent on the individual. It's important to remember that side effects can occur and the beneficial effects of ingestion can vary significantly from person to person. Consult a physician before adding or subtracting any supplementation-based protocols.

Remember, supplements are just one element within an ecosystem of other factors, such as your behaviors, nutrition, overall lifestyle. The content below is meant to provide science-based information on specific supplement profiles and protocols, as well as factors to consider when designing a supplementation protocol.
