Foundational Nutrition

Andrew Huberman discusses foundational nutrition, which emphasizes the importance of obtaining a full spectrum of essential nutrients to support overall health. This includes vitamins, minerals, adaptogens, and micronutrients vital for brain and body health.

He highlights the use of supplements like AG1 and Athletic Greens that he personally uses and endorses because they provide a convenient means to cover nutritional bases that might otherwise be missed due to limited diet or personal circumstances like traveling. These supplements include a range of nutrients that support gut health, which in turn supports immune system function and overall brain health. They are described as broad-spectrum supplements that cater to a comprehensive range of bodily functions, including mental and physical health 1 2 3 4.

Furthermore, for those who might not be able to afford broad-spectrum supplements, Dr. Huberman suggests exploring foods and dietary patterns that naturally support foundational health 4.
