Shilajit has gone from an ancient Ayurvedic remedy to a biohacker favorite, but is it actually a "miracle molecule," or just well-marketed mountain resin? In this episode, Dr. Barrett Deubert breaks down what Shilajit really is, the role fulvic acid plays in mitochondrial energy production and detoxification, and what the research says about its effects on testosterone, fertility, brain health, and athletic recovery. He also covers the biggest risk with this supplement - quality and contamination - plus who should avoid it and how to dose it properly.
