Superhuman Supplementation: How to Use Supplements Without Wasting Your Money

Most people are collecting a "supplement graveyard" and still not feeling better.

In this episode, Riley (shooting from Maui) breaks down the real Superhuman approach to supplementation—so you stop guessing, stop burning cash on hype, and start using the right supplements in the right order to actually change how you feel and perform.

You'll learn:

  • Why supplements should never replace sleep, nutrition, and lifestyle

  • The difference between relief care (short-term support) and root-cause care

  • Why you might feel nothing from supplements (and what that really means)

  • How brain fog, low focus, low energy, and anxiety often trace back to deeper issues

  • The three stages of the Superhuman supplementation model:

    1. Relief care

    2. Acute protocol

    3. Automation / maintenance mode

Riley also shares some of his go-to "foundational" supplements and how to think about them:

  • Vitamin D3: why most people are deficient and the levels you actually want to see on labs

  • Magnesium (Glycinate, Malate, and Threonate): for relaxation, energy, brain, recovery, and stress

  • Methylated B-complex: for energy, methylation, and nervous system support

  • High-quality fish oil (EPA vs DHA): when to prioritize brain vs systemic inflammation

  • Glycine and collagen: anti-aging, joint support, sleep, and overall recovery

You'll also hear:

  • Why generic advice and random stacks usually fail

  • How lab testing can reveal your specific deficiencies, inflammation, gut issues, toxins, and more

  • How to move from "machine-gun" supplementation to a precise, sniper-like protocol

  • What it means to move your "health bank account" from constant deficit to a true surplus

This episode is part one, focused on the philosophy and framework of Superhuman supplementation. Part two dives into the specific beginner, intermediate, and advanced stacks.
