    5 Best Supplements to Help Seniors Sleep

    👉 Thorne Sleep Bundle, the three I use together: PharmaGABA 250, Magnesium Bisglycinate and Melatonin 3. Code DRG20:
    https://theswellscore.com/cvbbvtiydo

    👉 Zuma Nutrition L-Theanine, if you lie in bed replaying the whole day. 200 mg a capsule, the exact amount from the study. Code DRG20:
    https://theswellscore.com/lw8dc

    👉 Herb Pharm Ashwagandha, if stress is what keeps you up at night. Code DRG20:
    https://theswellscore.com/ibpq1

    If you're exhausted all day and your mind switches on the second your head hits the pillow, there are five supplements with real research behind them. Dr. G ranks all five and shows you the three he'd put together for a real night's sleep.

    He covers the 2023 study that tested 25 melatonin gummies off US shelves and found 22 of them didn't match their own label, why the ashwagandha bottle almost never tells you which extract is inside, how ordinary room light before bed cuts your melatonin window by about 90 minutes, and why no supplement will out-run the stress you haven't dealt with.

    Melatonin resets your clock. Ashwagandha is for stress. Magnesium matters because most of you are low. L-theanine quiets a busy mind. GABA is the gentle one for a wired body.

    Dr. Chelsea Azarcon is a naturopathic and functional medicine doctor in Northern California who works with Lyme, mold illness and mast cell activation, and who has been in remission from several of those conditions herself. This conversation covers why women with chronic illness can do everything right and still not lose weight, the landmark study showing that something from decades ago is still shaping your biology, and why treating the mold or the Lyme is only the first step, not the cure.

    Dr. Chelsea's health takes, in order:

    Take 1: "Women with chronic illness are working 18 times harder to lose weight"
    Healthy mitochondria make 36 energy molecules per glucose. Inflamed ones make two.

    Take 2: "The detox nobody is talking about is toxic relationships and trauma"
    17,000 people studied. Nearly 70% carried at least one adverse childhood experience.

    Take 3: "I don't believe our bodies have everything they need to heal"
    Not in this environment. Sometimes the foundations aren't a strong enough signal.

    Take 4: "Treating your Lyme or your mold is not going to get you better"
    That stops the gas leak. The damage the fire did still has to be repaired.

    The number one predictor of longevity isn't your diet or your exercise. It's the strength of your relationships.

    Scientists Found The 3 Most Powerful Supplements for Type 2 Diabetes

    👉 Thorne Alpha Lipoic Acid, for burning, tingling or numbness in your hands and feet. 300 mg a capsule, so two gets you to the 600 used in the research:
    https://theswellscore.com/a3k12

    👉 Thorne Magnesium Citrate, if you've never had your magnesium checked. One scoop is 250 mg, under the 350 mg daily limit:
    https://theswellscore.com/5pqf3

    👉 ProHealth Longevity Berberine Pro, the one with the most research behind it. 600 mg a capsule, so two a day with meals lands in the studied range:
    https://theswellscore.com/gopuurfile

    If your blood sugar keeps creeping up no matter how carefully you eat, you are not out of options. Dr. G walks through three supplements that have actually been tested in people with type 2 diabetes, including one that went head to head with metformin, and gives you the honest numbers on each.

    He covers what that metformin study really was and the part the headlines left out, why the magnesium most people already own is barely absorbed, the proprietary blend problem that leaves you taking a supplement that never had the dose in it, and how a dysregulated nervous system can push your blood sugar past 200 without you eating a thing.

    Berberine has the most research. Magnesium matters most if you're actually low. Alpha lipoic acid supports your nerves. Your food, your movement, your sleep and your stress are still the foundation.

    Episode Description:

    Dr. Mary Pardee is a naturopathic and functional medicine doctor and the founder of Modrn Med. She's also one of the few people in this space willing to call out the tests and trends her own field sells. This conversation covers the expensive stool tests she says give people false hope, why the "parasites" in the toilet usually aren't parasites, what testosterone actually does and doesn't do for women, why sauna is overhyped, and the food sensitivity test that may be creating more anxiety than answers.

    Dr. Mary's health takes, in order:

    Take 1: "They're giving people false hope" Run a $600 microbiome test on 100 healthy people and most come back "positive."

    Take 2: "Women are going on testosterone hoping to build muscle" In normal female ranges, it won't. The real evidence is libido.

    Take 3: "If you're skipping workouts to sauna, you're missing the mark" One observational study built the hype. The randomized trials didn't back it.

    Take 4: "It may be giving you health anxiety around food" The test flags the foods you already eat, and people cut them for years. The most diverse diet possible is the healthiest diet.

    Doctor Reveals Top Glutathione Brand

    → Get Solaray’s Liposomal Glutathione with code DRG for 30% off:
     https://solaray.com/DRG


    Episode Description:
    About 75% of how you age comes down to what you do daily, not your genes. And one of the simplest places to start is something your body already makes: glutathione, the master antioxidant that sits at the center of how your cells protect and clean themselves. Your body makes less of it as you get older.


    So Dr. G went looking for the best version to actually take, and found that most products with that word on the label are getting it wrong. This episode covers why glutathione is so fragile that most of a regular capsule breaks down before your body can use it, why almost no brand will hand you a lab report when you ask, the two things to look for on a label, and the certificate of analysis he read line by line, including the heavy metal results.


    You don’t pick your genes. You do get a say in the other 75%.

    ↓ Find my vetted products here ↓
    https://theswellscore.com/collections/


    Episode Description:
    There are 19,000 studies on coffee and health, and most coffee companies don't even run the basic tests. Andrew Salisbury founded Purity Coffee after two professors at Vanderbilt's Institute for Coffee Studies showed him what good coffee actually does for the body. This conversation covers why the mold testing almost nobody runs costs $300, how roasting can destroy the very antioxidants you're drinking coffee for, and why the jitters and acid reflux you blame on coffee may not be the coffee's fault at all.

    Andrew's health takes — in order:

    Take 1: "The reality is they don't want to get the information"
    Testing a container for mold and mycotoxins costs about $300, so when companies skip it, it isn't about the money.

    Take 2: "Imagine if there was a pill that could do this"
    Coffee is tied to lower risk of fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, dementia and heart disease, and for most Americans it's their single biggest source of antioxidants.

    Take 3: "Not all coffee is created equal"
    Avoiding pesticides and heavy metals is the low bar. Keeping the antioxidants through the roast is the hard part, and most roasters never measure it.

    Take 4: "It's not a reaction to coffee, it's a reaction to poor quality coffee"
    The jitters, the acid reflux, the stomach trouble. Andrew's challenge is to drink a clean cup beside your usual brand and see what changes.

    Ice baths may be good for you. Coffee is the one you'll actually do every single day.

    Herb Pharm Ashwagandha Extract, if the shedding started after a hard stretch:

    https://theswellscore.com/99a9v


    Episode Description:

    If your hair is thinning, you've been given two options: one drug you rub on forever, and one many men quietly quit over what it did in the bedroom. But "not FDA approved" usually means nobody could patent it, not that it doesn't work. Dr. G walks through seven treatments with real evidence behind them, including one that went head to head with minoxidil and tied, with less scalp itching.


    He covers the plant extract that works on the same hormone as the drug, the red light that feeds the follicle, the blood marker your doctor probably skipped, the vitamin that flips a resting follicle back on, the mineral that builds the hair itself, the oil that matched minoxidil over six months, and the stress root nobody connects to their hairline.


    Most people need two or three of these together, because each one does a different job.


    Your hair isn't falling because your body is broken. It's falling because your body is trying to tell you something.

    Episode Description:

    If you're tired, foggy and inflamed, there may be a root cause your doctor is missing. Dr. Clement Lee is a regenerative medicine doctor in Old Town Pasadena who treats everyone from biohackers to cancer patients. This conversation covers what Botox does beyond your face, why peptide doses are often far too high, the stealth infections behind chronic fatigue, and the injection that resets a nervous system stuck in fight or flight.


    Dr. Lee's health takes — in order:


    Take 1: "Botox doesn't just freeze your face, it can freeze your feelings"

    When you can't express an emotion, the feedback loop to your brain goes quiet too, and the neurotoxin carries risks beyond the cosmetic.


    Take 2: "Peptides don't fix a broken lifestyle, they amplify a good one"

    Standard GLP-1 doses are often far higher than needed, and sleep, food and gut health come first.


    Take 3: "There's a root cause your doctor might be missing"

    Mold, Lyme, H. pylori and dormant viruses hide behind fatigue and brain fog, and partners often pass them back and forth.


    Take 4: "Hidden infections, toxins and trapped emotions are the main causes of disruption"

    Repressed emotion is inflammatory, and neural therapy resets a nervous system that never came down from stress.


    Energy is neither created nor destroyed. If it's stuck in your system, it's going somewhere.

    Doctor Reveals the Truth About Statin Side Effects (Muscle Aches & Fatigue)

    The exact CoQ10 I recommend, 15% off with code DRG15: https://theswellscore.com/fbkqvztnvu


    Episode Description: You take the pill every day to protect your heart, but your muscles ache, your legs feel heavy, and you're tired in a way sleep doesn't fix. It might not be age. Your statin may be draining the one nutrient your heart and muscles need to make energy, and almost no one tells you to replace it. Dr. G covers what to replace and how, the natural options with real human evidence for lowering cholesterol, the cholesterol myth that had you fearing the wrong foods, and the one number to ask your doctor about.


    Dr. G breaks it down, in order:

    Take 1: "Your statin may be quietly draining you"
    The same pathway statins shut down also makes CoQ10, so it's worth replacing, in the right form, with a meal that has fat.


    Take 2: "I really wish every doctor was talking about citrus bergamot" A standardized extract gently lowered total and LDL cholesterol in human trials.


    Take 3: "The single most proven natural lever for LDL" Plant sterols block cholesterol from being absorbed in your gut and lower LDL by roughly 8 to 10%.


    Take 4: "You don't need to take a pill" Psyllium husk and oats trap cholesterol so your body carries it out.

    Take 5: "You don't want to cut out the eggs"
    Refined carbs, sugar, belly fat and chronic stress drive cholesterol far more than the food on your breakfast plate.


    Your cholesterol number isn't the enemy. The particles underneath it are.

    Episode Description:

     You can have the healthiest heart, body and muscles in the world, and still not feel healthy if your brain isn't right. Dr. Amir Vokshoor is a neurosurgeon and spine surgeon who has treated more than 10,000 pain patients. He is also the founder of the NeuroVella Brain Spa in Santa Monica. This conversation covers what's damaging our brains, what chronic pain does to the nervous system, why so many spine and brain problems start in the gut, and the two-second exercise he gives every patient.


    Dr. Vokshoor's health takes — in order:

    Take 1: “There is no health without brain health” Your brain was never built for 24/7 information, and constant stress stops your nervous system from resetting.


    Take 2: “Your life is your artwork” Science is never 100% certain, and flow state is how you tap into abilities we haven’t uncovered yet.


    Take 3: “Pain is not always a bad thing” Chronic pain rewires the brain, and most of the pain patients he sees carry an emotional element.


    Take 4: “It’s called the second brain for a reason”Many brain and spine problems start in the gut, and gut health can make or break recovery from surgery.

    Close your eyes. Take one deep breath. Set an intention. That's dropping in.

    Doctor Reveals The Natural Fiber That Mimics Ozempic (No Needle Needed)

    Your body already makes the same fullness hormone Ozempic copies. Most of us just switch it off three times a day at the table. If you're cutting portions and your hunger comes roaring back an hour later, your body isn't fighting you. Your fullness signal never fired.


    Dr. G breaks down the supplement everyone calls "nature's Ozempic," the fiber that actually turns your own GLP-1 back on, the exact dose and timing, and the one sign that tells you it's working again.


    Dr. G breaks it down, in order:

    Take 1 Berberine isn't "nature's Ozempic." It helps blood sugar, but it has no GLP-1 data.


    Take 2 One fiber from the konjac root triggers your own fullness hormone. Dr. G gives the dose, the timing and the label check.


    Take 3 When you eat protein matters as much as how much. Eat it first and the fullness switch flips before the sugar hits.


    Take 4 A gut bacterium helps drive your GLP-1 signal. Dr. G shows how to feed it with everyday foods.


    Take 5 Rushed meals keep you hungry. Slowing down tells your body it's safe to feel full.


    The sign it's working: you can go 4 to 5 hours between meals without food on your mind.

    Product reviews assess both brand transparency and product quality. If a company doesn't respond to our outreach, it doesn't automatically mean their product is low quality, but it does mean they're failing their customers on transparency and communication. We reach out multiple times. No response isn't an oversight, it's a choice. And consumers deserve better.
