There’s not a week that goes by where someone, in person, or via the internet asks me;
“Hey what supplements do you take, and what would you recommend for someone like me?”
So, to share my answer to the first part of the question, I put together my exact list, with discount links to each product so you can order the same ones if you should wish to do so.
In order to answer the second part of the question ( “and what would you recommend for someone like me?” ) – you can post your specifics all the way at the bottom in the comment box, or you can book a private 1-on-1 phone/skype coaching session with me.
Ok – here we go…
1 – Super-Greens Juice Powder
I’ve written about this in the past many times…
It’s no secret that we need to eat our fair share of fruits and veggies every day if we aspire to optimum health, enhanced wellness and vibrant longevity…
But as we know, in the this day and age of busy and busier – schedules are tight and time is limited…
So we need a daily back-up plan to keep us on the right path when getting the right foods all the time is just not possible. So this Super Greens Juice Powder is not only great for this, it is simply the best. It tastes great and I look forward to it. It also travels well, which is priceless.
2 – ATLAS “UberFood” Organic Nutrition/Protein Bars
I’m a healthy protein/nutrition bar addict. And I’m also a connoisseur…
Most of the time, I make and eat my own special recipe ATLAS UberFood Bars, because to me – the “perfect” nutrition bar doesn’t exist, so I make them myself.
Here are 2 flavors I made last week ( I currently have about 9 flavors/varieties that I rotate through each month):
The cookies are Power-Pumpkin Chip and the bars are Vanilla-Thrilla Blueberry
Eventually we’ll get my bars produced, packaged and shippable, so everyone can enjoy them… Stay tuned.
I’ve been eating them since I was about 14 years old, and I’ve tried, tasted and/or tested just about all of them that looked worth a try.
Any bars with trash ingredients (chemical sweeteners, preservatives, etc…), I just don’t even bother anymore… Only the best will do, because “we are what we eat”… Our foods become our bodies – the cells that make up our bodies.
I typically eat 1 protein/meal/nutrition bar per day, sometimes two if I’m on the run and my schedule has me zigging and zagging. I don’t like to eat heavy meals during the day so sometimes just a half of one of my bars will hold me over for a few hours or so.
That, along with some various nuts and carrot sticks in my backpack and I’m in the ‘healthy nutrition zone’ ALL DAY long!
I pack the bars I make with “uberfood” nutrients and ingredients so these can be an easy lunch substitute to simplify your life on busy days, and keep you on the fitness track.
They banish the appetite for hours at a time, give lots of energy and fuel the body with all the important vitamins and minerals it needs for health and wellness…
3 – Biotic-Balance Probiotics
Gut health is becoming more and more popular these days as new research continues to show how the gut is responsible for much of the functions and processes that impact our immunity, hormone regulation, rate of aging and disease prevention.
This is why I’ve added a top quality probiotic to my daily supplement plan.
According to research studies, a high quality probiotic can also help with the following:
– weight loss and BMI reduction
– stress reduction
– improved cognition
– allergy reduction
– gut sensitivity reactions
4 – Daily Organic Turmeric/Curcumin w/ Black Pepper extract
If there is one thing we all want to give ourselves the best chance of avoiding – it’s cancer.
And in light of how our lifestyle habits and nutrition choices are proving to be directly correlated to incidence and severity of cancer rates – the notion of identifying “super foods” that have cancer fighting properties is as real as cancer itself.
Turmeric (curcumin) and black pepper have been identified as top agents with cancer fighting properties. It simply makes sense that this universe was created with all the things we’d need to defend ourselves as humans in order to give us the best chances of eternal survival.
I’m a strong believer that some of our most powerful “medicines” come directly from nature…
This 4:1 Extraction Concentrate Combo from Organifi gives me the full cancer defense dose for just a few cents per day. And that is PRICELESS. I get it on auto ship and never have to worry about running out, etc…
5 – Complete Plant Protein All-In-One
Since reducing the amount of meat in my diet over the last few years, I’ve become more conscious of getting a balanced array of plant proteins into my daily nutrition plan, especially when my physcal output is higher than average.
For example, if there is a day where I do a morning run/walk, and bodyweight training session on the SCULPTABOD Genious Gym, a bike ride or a trial hike, etc… then I’m going to want more protein intake to feed the muscles what they need for structural maintenance.
Adding an extra scoop or two of this complete all-in-one plant-based protein powder is the easiest and best way for me to do that.
In the photo above, I actually made a quick “Vanilla Cinnamon Protein Pudding Snack” by just combining 3 ounces of almond milk, 2 scoops of Complete Protein Vanilla (you can also get Chocolate, which is awesome) and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder.
That simple, yet highly nutritious snack holds my appetite for about 3 hours. Gotta love that…
The big added perk about this all natural 100% certified organic all-in-one formula is that I no longer need to buy a multi-vitamin/mineral in tablet form, because it has all the vitamins and minerals in it already… So, that saves me about $40 per month. Pretty cool, eh?
6 – 100% Pure Creatine Monohydrate (Made in the USA)
I get asked about creatine a lot. And here’s the lowdown. It’s one of the ‘legitimate’ muscle/strength supplements that has been around a very long time and has shown a safe history of usage, with new benefits being discovered as more research studies are conducted.
For example, this study showed promising results for helping to fight depression.
Being in my mid/late 40’s at the time of writing this post, I feel it’s a good time for me to bolster my “anti-aging” arsenal. Creatine is a perfect choice for this and is extremely economical, even when you buy the best one – which I say is NUTRABIO’s 100% Pure right here on Amazon.
It’s made in the USA, which is not the case for most creatine supplements. And this is super important to me, because of quality, purity and potency factors.
Some extra info about my creatine of choice:
– Vegetarian, OU Kosher, Gluten/Dairy Free, Hypoallergenic, NON GMO, BSE/TSE Free.
– Made in the USA to Strict FDA Standards in NUTRABIO’s own cGMP Certified Laboratory.
– Independent Lab Tested in insure 100% Label Claim and Purity.
– Backed by a 100% Money Back Guarantee!

Joey I read many articles by many people Dr. etc. what is your opinion on MK-7 ? use for building bone.
Appreciate all you Honest information .
Phyllis
Joey Atlas says
Hi Phyllis! Short and sweet… If you’re doing proper resistance training – and nutrition intake is good – and your bone density numbers are healthy – then no need to add any bone building supplement. These “usually” appeal to people who are sedentary, eat so/so – and are losing or have lost bone mass, due to lifestyle choice.
Make sense?
Joey 🙂
Kimberly says
Joey,
Thank you for the valuable information. I’m struggling with menopause imbalance specifically weight gain, bloating and hot flashes. I can’t take any hormone replacements and wondering if you can suggest any supplements to help with my symptoms. I workout, eat clean but since menopause It’s been a struggle.
Joey Atlas says
Hi Kimberly,
How long has menopause been going?
Have you tried anything yet for it? If so what?
Do you eat any healthy fats in your ‘eating clean’ plan? If so – what and how much?
What kind of exercise schedule do you follow?
Thanks!
Joey
Jody says
Thanks for taking the time to make this list up! You’re right, it answers a lot of questions up front. It’s a great starting point to work with. As usual, you are the bomb?
Joey Atlas says
Awwww Jody – thank you!! My pleasure to do this! Please share it where you wish.
Any questions let me know… And you’re the bomb too!
Joey 🙂
Beth Burnham says
Thanks for all of the help. Do you think that someone with immune issues would need to take extra probiotics?
Joey Atlas says
Hi Beth! 🙂 I don’t believe “extra” is needed. BUT, if you’re seeing a specialist who is working with you, you’ll want to ask them, especially if they are helping you manage any meds, etc.
Shirley Christopherson says
Hello Joey,
Should women take creatine?, if so when do you incorporate it? I am going through the lovely night sweats as well and the weight gain in the tummy, I work out regularly.
if you get a chance can you check out the Puretrim shakes as these are what I use and they are plant based. I would like your opinion. Because I am in Canada, it is to pricey to order from the US and takes to long to receive.
Thank you
Joey Atlas says
Hi Shirley – I like the idea of creatine for women – but this must be reviewed by your personal specialist of course. When I’m coaching someone 1-on-1, I’m in touch with client’s Dr and we work together on specifics like this.
Will try to take a closer look at puretrim maybe this weekend – CRAZY busy time right now 🙂 (quick glance didn’t show their entire ingredients label from the box, which is a red-flag, usually means there are things in it that they are not highlighting (leaving out) in the general info of website, etc…)
Best
Joey
