When it comes to healthy aging, few people know more than Dr. Eric Verdin, CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and longtime SecondHalf client! Recently featured in an insightful article in the Business Insider, Dr. Verdin shared the four top supplements for longevity he takes daily—but here’s the key takeaway: he believes lifestyle factors plays the biggest role in how long we live, and supplements are just one piece of the puzzle.


Lifestyle First, Supplements as a Bonus


Dr. Verdin emphasizes that physical activity, nutrition, sleep, stress management, and strong social connections are the real drivers of longevity. But for those who already have these pillars in place and want to take their health from good to great, certain supplements might provide an extra edge.


The 4 Supplements Dr. Verdin Takes Daily


🔹 Vitamin D – Important for bone health and widely deficient in many people.

🔹 Vitamin B12 – Crucial for brain function, red blood cells, and energy production.

🔹 Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Linked to heart and brain health, though best consumed through diet.

🔹 Creatine – A powerhouse for muscle performance and cognitive function—and fun fact: I was the one who influenced him to consider it in support of his customized strength training programs I designed for me.
