I'm trying to be as healthy as I possibly can be. I do this with a ketogenic diet, fasting, jumping rope, stretching, and trying to get enough sleep. I also take a lot of vitamins. I did it by evaluating them one at a time.

But at some point, maybe it's too much. So I'm taking the idea of "email bankruptcy" and starting a "supplement bankrupty." So, at some point this year, I'm going to stop taking everything, see how I feel, and then reintroduce supplements again one at a time. I don't know if this is a good idea or not yet, but hopefully it's helpful, so I thought it was worth saying here.

What are you taking? I cycle keto, do IF (with 3-5 day fasts a few times per year), lift heavy, etc. I've greatly reduced my vitamins to just vitamin D and a probiotic. It's really nice not throwing back a ton of pills throughout the day. In their place, I focus on eating more green vegetables, I take a greens drink, and Udo's oil (omegas) and drink a ton of BCAAs throughout the day. Feel much better than when I had 15 different pills.
Happy to talk about this outside of here! <my-hn-handle>@gmail.com
