Starting the Day with Supplements
In this brief segment, Dr. David Perlmutter outlines his daily supplement regimen, emphasizing gut health, metabolic support, immune function, brain protection, and anti‑inflammatory strategies. He begins each morning with a high‑quality fiber supplement and an aggressive probiotic to nurture the microbiome. He adds alpha‑lipoic acid and vitamin D for metabolic and immune benefits, and during colder months he includes extra zinc. A DHA omega‑3 source and vitamin E are taken to support brain health, especially given his family history of Alzheimer’s disease. He also consumes a product containing NRF2 activators—turmeric, resveratrol, and green tea extract—to trigger a gene pathway that reduces inflammation while boosting antioxidant defenses. Finally, he rounds out the routine with a small amount of coconut oil.
