Most supplement lists are noise. This one isn’t.

In this episode, Brandon breaks down the five daily supplements that consistently move the needle—no matter your symptoms or lab results—because they stabilize core signals across the Compass:

1) Magnesium – master cofactor for ATP use, nervous‑system stability, glucose handling

2) Omega‑3s (EPA/DHA) – membrane fluidity, inflammation resolution, neuroprotection

3) Bioactive B Complex – methylation, neurotransmitters, mitochondrial flux

4) Vitamin D3 + K2 – immune modulation, hormone/mineral guidance, bone/vascular balance

5) Electrolytes – cellular communication, hydration, HRV/sleep architecture

Bonus: NAC — a glutathione‑supporting resilience tool for modern toxic, inflammatory load.

You’ll learn how each compound maps to Nurture, Energize, Strengthen, and Withdraw—and how to stack them without overwhelm (start with magnesium at night and electrolytes in the morning, then layer the rest).

Ten rules. One system. When your biology starts to drift—energy swings, cravings, restless nights—this episode gives you a simple operating manual to bring it back without guesswork.

We cover:

• Rule 1 — Create safety signals first (downshift the internal threat response)

• Rule 2 — Guard the gut–liver highway every day

• Rule 3 — Front‑load protein (≥30 g within 90 minutes)

• Rule 4 — Tame glucose swings (anchor meals, move after eating)

• Rule 5 — Move daily (train GLUT4, signal mitochondria)

• Rule 6 — Protect circadian rhythm (light, food timing, sleep consistency)

• Rule 7 — Clear cellular clutter (support autophagy)

• Rule 8 — Make room for repair (sleep depth, micronutrients, lower inflammation)

• Rule 9 — Build the biology you want (signal before you supplement)

• Rule 10 — Test less, calibrate more (use lived signals, not lab chasing)

Episode 012 – Why “Listen to Your Body” Doesn’t Work—Unless You Know What to Listen For

“Just listen to your body,” they said. But what if your body is speaking in static?

In this episode of The Metabolic Compass™ Podcast, we unravel one of the most overused and misunderstood pieces of health advice—listen to your body. Because while it sounds empowering, it only works if your body is sending clear signals.

But what happens when:

Hunger shows up when you’re already full?

• You’re wired at midnight and crashing during the day?
• Your cravings are leading you into a deeper spiral of fatigue, inflammation, and instability?

This isn’t dysfunction. It’s adaptation.

🧭 Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

Why biological drift scrambles your internal signals

• How inflammation, blood sugar crashes, and sleep loss distort hunger, energy, and mood
• Why your intuition might actually be mistrained—and how to rebuild it
• The difference between informed intuition and conditioned responses
• How trauma and nervous system dysregulation hijack interoception
• 5 biological signals to start tracking today: sleep, energy, hunger, digestion, and mood
• What each signal says about your Compass drift—and what to do next

🎯 This is the episode that bridges the gap between intuition and interpretation.

Because when your body is whispering fatigue but your brain hears hunger, you’re not failing—you’re just misreading the signal. And that can be fixed.
