My Favorite Supplements & Lifestyle Behaviors

Written by Joe Cohen, BS | Last updated:

Caveats

These are MY personal favorites, and I don’t expect other people to respond in the same ways as me necessarily. SelfDecode has been instrumental in helping me find the best lifestyle and supplements to take for me.

I can look at my genetic predispositions, experiment with the recommendations, and look at the research and lab tests to find what works best for my body.

I always suggest that you follow a health regimen personalized for you. For that, I recommend SelfDecode, which tells you what the top recommended lifestyle and supplements are for your unique DNA.
