Since personal training clients at my Timonium gym are constantly asking me what supplements I take, here's a quick list for you:

- Men's Multi (the lack of Iron makes it "Men's")
- Vitamins D3+K2
- Ashwaghanda
- ZMA (combo of Zinc and Magnesium)
- Berberine

What's the deal with "Berberine?"

Berberine has been scientifically proven to reduce insulin resistance (same as "increase insulin sensitivity," of course), and improve markers of type II diabetes such as fasting glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C).

Additional evidence suggests Berberine can help:

Reduce waist circumference
Reduce waist-to-hip ratio
Lower total cholesterol
Lower triglycerides, and possibly
Increase HDL-cholesterol (the "good" one) to a small degree

So, when and how much?

The standard dose of berberine is 900-2,000mg a day with meals and divided into three to four doses.

Yes, numerous studies have shown Berberine to be as effective as the popular prescription drug, Metformin, but ...

NO - do NOT consider this to be a replacement for any medication your doctor has prescribed for you.

Personally ...

My experience is that Berberine brands are virtually the same. The best seller on Amazon and the brand I've used for years is Berberine Plus from Doctor Recommended Supplements.

Let me know how it goes for you.

One our personal training clients at our gym in Timonium just asked me a question I get virtually every day from women over 45: “How do I lose this [grabs body part]?” I told her my signature sound bite bite: “You have no more control over where you lose fat than you did over where you gained it.” I’ve heard a couple of respectable trainers say they have $ystems (clever, huh) that will burn body fat in specific parts of your body. It may sound really good and may even “work“– but only to a barely discernible degree and with a huge expenditure of your valuable time. Don’t waste your time with isolated spot reduction exercises. Compound exercises (that’s using multiple joints) are far more efficient and effective. Here's proof ... Experimenters asked one group of women to do upper body exercises only while another group did lower body exercises only. Both groups of women lost fat in the same pattern regardless of what exercises they did. Where you gain fat - and where you
