đź”— canva.link/2813ccssu8lu5ya My Recommended List
As a dietitian who spends hours reading the longevity research, these are the supplements I personally choose to take:
đź’ŠCreatine: supports ATP production for muscle power, exercise performance, and brain energy metabolismđź’ŠOmega-3s: lower inflammation, and support brain and heart aging. (Experts site that not taking omega-3s is equivalent to smoking!)đź’ŠMagnesium glycinate: supports deep sleep, stress resilience, DNA repair, and nervous system functionđź’ŠVitamin D: supports immune function, muscle health, bone integrity, and healthy agingđź’ŠCocoa flavanols: Support nitric oxide production, blood flow, vascular function, and cognitive performanceđź’ŠTurmeric/curcumin: supports healthy inflammatory pathways and helps combat oxidative stressđź’ŠMultivitamin without added iron see COSMOS TRIAL: helps cover micronutrient gaps without excess iron accumulation, which may increase oxidative stress in some adults
💊I only choose heavily tested brands so I know they contain what they actually say they contain — and are screened for contaminants too.
I also take B12 -important for vegans.
Love, Nisha

Quick note for my YouTube community đź’›
cookingforpeanuts.com/nondairy-cream-substitute/
cookingforpeanuts.com/tofu-cream/
Coconut milk is often used for creaminess, but it’s high in saturated fat, which can raise LDL cholesterol and increase heart disease risk over time.
About 80–90% of the fat in coconut milk is saturated fat, primarily lauric acid, along with myristic and palmitic acids.
Important nuance:
Lauric acid is sometimes marketed as a “different” type of saturated fat because it can raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol. However, research consistently shows it also raises LDL cholesterol. And LDL is the primary driver of atherosclerosis and heart disease risk.
So while coconut fat may raise HDL more than butter, it still raises LDL — and that matters.
Major cardiology and nutrition bodies (like the American Heart Association) classify coconut oil and coconut milk as LDL-raising saturated fats.
That’s why I created two protein-rich vegan cream alternatives for you to use instead. One is soy-free and nut-free, so there’s an option for everyone — and both give you that rich, creamy texture without relying on coconut.
