After running the Dr. Peter Attia Fans Facebook group for a few years and compiling a full resource list, there’s one question that comes up the most….
What supplements does he take?
First, let’s talk about his framework for determining if one should take a supplement or drug.
Instead of telling you to “take X” or “never take Y,” he finds it more beneficial to approach this tactic with a 3-part framework:
- What is the objective? The more clearly you can define your objective, the more clearly you can assess if this is the right tool for accomplishing that objective.
- Is there a biomarker? How do you plan to customize, track, and adjust your treatment over time? If there is no biomarker to monitor as a measure of effectiveness, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take the supplement or medication; it just means you may need to be more intentional around monitoring results in other ways.
- Does the risk outweigh the reward (podcast clip)? Everyone has a different tolerance for risk. Some questions to consider when weighing risk vs. reward: What is the mechanism of action? How many patient years of use exist? What are the short-term and long-term risks of taking the medication? What are the risks of not taking the medication?
Now let’s jump into what he takes daily.
