Would you be able to recommend anything for diabetics with arthritis in order to:
Minimize joint pain,
aid restoration of natural cellular response to sugars,
assist in hunger/satiation to aid weight loss,
promote a feeling of vitality and energy?

Personally tried dozens of the big list here (in alignment with your recommendations on each) for my own needs (very positively), but this one is for a relative and im not really sure what to suggest.

My thought are sitting with Berberine+Silymarin, Cats Claw, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Resveratrol/Pterostilbene, NAC, + Quercetin+VitaminC.
But not sure the implications/interactions and considerations on diabetic condition and other treatments.

    David, you are on the right track. I too would suggest Berberine and Milk Thistle extract and it would be right at the top of my list. But I’m not an expert on arthritis although Kratom works great for pain reduction.

Hi David,
Just wondering if you have done any videos or published research on shilajit?

    David, Shilajit is on my “to do” list. I haven’t had the time to do a review yet but hopefully will get to it sometime soon.

I want to take 30mg/day of noopept sublingually by dissolving 900mg in 30ml of solvent and taking 1ml of the solution daily. The solvents that come to mind are water and food grade propylene glycol. Do you have recommendations for any other solvents?

Thanks for all the thorough, accurate and friendly content you provide. Love it!

    David Tomen
    November 22, 2023

    David, I’ve not tried Noopept sublingually and never found the need to because it works just fine in tablet or capsule form. But the only way to find out how it works is by trying it. I’ve no recommendations for solvent options. So let us know how it works!

Hello David,
Question for you, Sir. Do you recommend cycling Maca? Historically, I have not. However, I see quite a few people online suggesting that one should. Just curious as to your thoughts. Thank you!

    David Tomen
    November 13, 2023

    David, cycling amino acids has never made any sense to me. Because they have such a short half-life that within a few hours they are completely flushed out of your system if not used. You will not get their benefit again until the next time you use that supplement. And Maca is used as a staple by the indigenous people of the high Andes. Cycling Maca would be like cycling potatoes. It just does not make sense.

      Thank you David! I always appreciate the way you explain things in practical and easy to understand terms.
