Today, I’m joined by Kyal Van Der Leest, an innovative naturopath, nutritionist, and founder of LVLUP Health, whose formulas are changing the way we think about effective supplementation. Kyal’s journey is deeply personal: from caring for his mother through a long battle with cancer, to overcoming his own intense health struggles with mold illness. These experiences led him to push past superficial fixes and dig deep into what really works for healing and optimizing the body.Visit www.lvluphealth.com and use code NAT for 20% offPrevious Episodes: Episode #116: Does the Perfect Gut Supplement Exist?Episode #148: Kyal Van Der Leest: Liver Health, Gut Health, and Detoxification#326: From Brain Fog to Focus: Techniques and Supplements to Enhance Cognitive Function With Kyal Van Der LeestEpisode Timestamps:Welcome & Podcast intro ... 00:00:00Pitfalls of cheap supplements & importance of quality ... 00:05:33Mistakes: symptom chasing, green allopathy, and root causes ... 00:07:38Blending naturopathy, biochemistry, and biohacking ... 00:10:26Choosing peptides, herbs, or vitamins for target outcomes ... 00:16:43Synergy, proprietary blends, and dosing transparency ... 00:18:06Understanding supplement forms, dosages, and stack simplification ... 00:24:29Root cause thinking: brain fog, labs, and interconnected symptoms ... 00:34:16Dopamine, focus, and the risks of overstimulation ... 00:39:59Peptides in brain health—a step beyond herbs or nutrients ... 00:43:00Short-term nootropics vs. long-term investments in brain health ... 00:46:17Longevity levers: muscle, blood sugar, and blood flow ... 00:51:04Blood sugar regulation—berberine, dihydroberine, and alternatives ... 00:53:32Liver’s core role in hormones and energy ... 00:55:59Heart and lung health—peptides, circulation, and overlooked systems ... 01:00:10Peptides vs. herbs—when to choose and when to avoid ... 01:04:21Future of peptides, supplement quality, and industry direction ... 01:07:45Hierarchy: Foundations before biohacks ... 01:08:57Simple, high-impact upgrade picks & final advice ... 01:11:17Industry trends, influencer issues, and episode wrap ... 01:17:01Where to find Kyal and promo code details ... 01:19:19Our Amazing Sponsors:Sunlighten: Up to $2,100 off + FREE shipping Sunlighten Sauna - Looking to support your recovery and calm your nervous system?
