The Science of Sound:
The Top Supplements for Longevity, Energy & Performance with Christian Fowler
About the episode
What are the best supplements for performance, longevity, and everyday health? In this episode of The Science of Sound, host Aaron Fournier and guest Christian Fowler break down their personal supplement stacks—exploring why they take them, what the science says, and how they fit into a healthy lifestyle (see references below).
You’ll learn about creatine’s surprising cognitive benefits, the adaptogenic power of ashwagandha, rhodiola, and cordyceps, the hormone-balancing properties of shilajit, and the vital role of B vitamins, vitamin D3 + K2, magnesium, and milk thistle. Aaron and Christian also explore advanced longevity tools like NMN, CoQ10, L-theanine, and Lion’s Mane, while tying in how digital “supplements” like sound frequencies can support stress relief, focus, and cellular recovery.
This conversation blends modern functional medicine with timeless wisdom, giving you a practical blueprint for aging well, optimizing your energy, and supporting both body and mind.
