"I use Peloton because I just like that instructor there telling me what to do, and then me competing with everyone else... And then, the pandemic hit and I was all over the Peloton, and it works for me really well. So I tend to do that at least three times a week."
▶ 2:09:38"Sometimes I'll get on my Peloton and I'll do two back-to-back Tabatas so it's like a 10-minute 2 to 1 ratio, 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off, 30 second recovery in between."
"I got on my Peloton and I did a 10-minute Tabata back to back"
"I hop right in the sauna after my Peloton. I literally like down a bunch of water and then I get in"

"I take something called Avmacol which is glucoraphanin because that's more stable. There's 13 studies using that form and sulforaphane is probably the best naturally occurring dietary activator of the NRF2 pathway important for detoxification."
▶ 2:51:59"I also take a supplement that's been used in a lot of clinical studies called Avmacol. I don't have any affiliation with them, but they've got a really great method of stabilizing that myrosinase enzyme."
"And then I take my Avmacol, which is the sulforaphane."
"I'm taking Avmacol, so that's my sulforaphane that I take. I take two of those."

"I take a supplement called Magnesi-Om by Moon Juice. And it's like a little powder. It's got a little bit of monk fruit, but it tastes good. So I do it a little bit before bedtime as well... And it has magnesium threonate, and a variety of other versions of magnesium in it as well, and I really like it."
▶ 1:49:01"And then with my magnesium, I'm taking a magnesium glycinate, the Pure Encapsulations one. I think it's like 125 milligrams if I remember correctly."
"I take magnesium glycinate by Pure Encapsulations."
"But I also do supplement with magnesium... It can cause GI distress at high doses. I personally like to take around 130 or 135 milligrams. That way, it's not like a huge bolus to my gut. ... Citrate is what I take."

"So I take four grams a day. I take two grams in the morning, and I take two grams in the evening. I take my EPA in the morning, and I take my DHA in the evening... I personally think it is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory things... that is going to powerfully modulate the way you think, the way you feel, and the way you age."
▶ 44:41"I think I was taking four grams and now I'm doing two. So, the real reason is I eat a lot of salmon and my omega-3 index was just so high and I just didn't feel any need for it to be close to 16."
"I get mine in the pill form because I have a friend that makes it in Norway and he sort of has convinced me that it's really good... I take about five or six grams a day. I take a lot. I'm taking a high dose DHA because it gets into breast milk."

"I also ordered the glutamine supplement from Thorne, and I am doing the glutamine on days that I've been training really hard. I've noticed that training really hard has had me a little more susceptible to respiratory illness, particularly because I'm constantly being exposed, having a young child at home."
▶ 2:38"I take five grams on a daily basis, but if my son's sick, if there's any exposure, I go up to 15, I go up to 20"
"And then I take one 5 g dose of glutamine... Same with creatine and glutamine. They're both NSF certified, and those are from Thorne."

"So I take 10 grams a day every day. I do it in two doses. Going from 5 to 10 really does seem to affect my brain functioning like later in the day where I seem to keep going better where I'm not getting as tired."
▶ 2:13:15"I take 10 grams a day every day... going from 5 to 10 really does seem to affect my brain functioning like later in the day where I seem to keep going better"
"I do give my son 2 and a half grams of creatine a day."
"I also take creatine. I take 5 grams a day... creatine, I'm using Thorne."

"So I take 3 milligrams. I take it for a couple of reasons. One, it helps with my night terrors... I also like it because it's an antioxidant. It protects things like... eggs... and it's also been shown to be an antioxidant in the brain. So I do think there's benefits to taking melatonin and I don't feel it's addicting at all for me."
▶ 2:56"There were some studies showing that high-dose melatonin, more in the 10 milligram range... I'm taking 9 milligrams a night, and for the most part I totally stopped having night terrors... Melatonin totally stopped it."

"Vitamin K2 usually stays around the periphery... it's moving calcium out and bringing it to the bones. And so I take... I actually have K1 in my multi that I take, but I also take a K2 supplement, MK-4. I take it like a couple times a week."
▶ 42:40"I take my vitamin D. I take my magnesium, my K2. I take another gram of fish oil."
