Supplement Fundamentals
Cutting through the noise of the supplement industry
About this course
Cut through the noise. Dr. Julian Thorne distills 20+ years of clinical work and peer-reviewed literature into a calm, honest guide to supplementation. You will learn which categories genuinely move biomarkers, which are theater, and how to build a personal stack that fits your labs, budget, and life stage. The course is deliberately un-hyped. No affiliate links. No brand deals. Just the frameworks a longevity physician uses with his own family.
