Supplements for Our Most Common and Devastating Diseases

Wellness Connection MD is THE evidence-based podcast on all things wellness. This episode is a follow-up to our previous show on the Top Ten Supplements for all-purpose use. However, in this edition Dr. McMinn and Coach Lindsay discuss specific supplements that may be helpful for our most common and devastating diseases. Dr. Peter Attia's excellent book "Outlive" describes the Four Horsemen of diseases: Cardiovascular disease, Cancer, Neurodegenerative diseases, and Metabolic dysfunction (like diabetes). These diseases are the leading causes of death for most Americans. In our usual evidence-based fashion we present to you some supplements that may be helpful for these conditions., along with some evidence to back up our recommendations. In addition to the Four Horsemen, we also provide some helpful hints on two other common health problems, which include arthritis and osteoporosis. Coach Lindsay points out that supplements may be quite helpful, but they never replace a good diet. Also, attend to the other fundamentals of lifestyle medicine, such as exercise, restorative sleep, stress reduction, and toxin avoidance.Always keep your healthcare provider in the loop before starting any supplement regimen, and consider cheking for drug/supplement interactions. Visit McMinnMD.com for more resources and while you are there visit the Wellness MD Blog.Rate and review the podcast on iTunes , and tell your friends and family about us to help the podcast grow.You can contact Dr. McMinn directly at [email protected].
