How to Read a Supplement Label Like a Doctor (3-Step Check)

About This Episode

Stop blindly copying supplement stacks from influencers. They have different genetics. Different bloodwork. And in most cases, they're being paid to recommend it. In this video, I'm teaching you the exact 3-step framework I use as a physician to evaluate any supplement before recommending it—or taking it myself. The 3-Step "Doctor Check": → Step 1: The Form Not all forms are created equal. Magnesium Oxide is cheap and poorly absorbed. Magnesium Glycinate actually works. Always flip the bottle. → Step 2: The Dose If the clinical study used 5 grams and the product has 50 mg, that's not a therapeutic dose—it's marketing. This trick is called "fairy dusting." → Step 3: The Mechanism Why are you taking it? "Because everyone is" isn't a reason. If you can't explain the biological mechanism it's targeting, you probably don't need it. Your supplement cabinet should be intentional, not impulsive. Save this video and use it next time you're about to check out. #longevity #hillarylinmd #supplements
