Dr. Starsiak's Sleep Protocol
9 more items in Dr. Starsiak's Sleep ProtocolStart with the foundation, give it two weeks, then add one herb at a time. You do not need everything on this list. Foundation: Magnesium Glycinate, 1 to 2 capsules in the evening. L-Theanine, 1 capsule 30 to 60 minutes before bed. I Sleep Soundly, 2 tablets before bed. If you need more, add one and judge it for two weeks. Valerian (1 to 2 capsules an hour before bed) and Hops (3 capsules, about 1 gram) are the classic pair. The controlled trials that exist tested them together; results for valerian alone are mixed, and some people respond clearly. Lemon Balm suits a busy or anxious mind at bedtime. A small open-label study of a standardized extract improved both anxiety and sleep. This liquid extract is not the same preparation, so judge it by your own response. Zizyphus Sleep Formula is a traditional jujube seed formula. A controlled trial of jujube seed improved sleep quality over three weeks in postmenopausal women. Reishi is slow, steady support. The human trial evidence is for fatigue and well-being over eight weeks, not for sleep directly. Kava is for nights when tension is the problem. Adults only, a few weeks at a time, never with alcohol, and not at all if you have a liver condition or take medication that affects the liver: rare but serious liver injury has been reported. These are sedating. Do not combine them with sleep medication, benzodiazepines, or alcohol, and do not drive after taking them. If you are pregnant, nursing, or on prescription medication, check with me before starting. Pair all of it with a regular wind-down: screens off an hour before bed, cool dark room, consistent wake time. At four weeks, keep what helped and drop what did not. - Dr. Starsiak
Dr. Starsiak's Stress & Adaptogen Protocol
4 more items in Dr. Starsiak's Stress & Adaptogen ProtocolFor the pushed-too-hard, wired-but-tired state. Suggested use (I'll fine-tune this with you at your visit): Ashwagandha - 1 tablet twice daily with food. Mood Support - 1 tablet twice daily. Rhodiola - 1 capsule in the morning; avoid taking it late in the day as it can be energizing. Expect gradual change over 3 to 4 weeks, not an overnight shift - adaptogens build. Pair with the basics that actually move the needle: a consistent sleep window, morning daylight, and something physical most days. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking thyroid medication, SSRIs, or blood pressure medication, check with me before starting. - Dr. Starsiak
Dr. Starsiak's Seasonal Reset Companion Protocol
3 more items in Dr. Starsiak's Seasonal Reset Companion ProtocolThis companion supports the gentle, food-based seasonal reset we outline on the Seasonal Reset page — it works alongside the kitchari week, not instead of it. CCF tea (cumin, coriander, fennel), sipped warm through the day, kindles digestion without straining it. Triphala at bedtime supports regular, complete elimination — the quiet cornerstone of any Ayurvedic cleanse. Liver Formula adds gentle bitter-herb support while the body does its seasonal housekeeping. All three are Banyan Botanicals: organic, vegan, and sustainably sourced. Best begun at the turn of a season and continued one to two weeks. If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking prescription medications, check with us before starting.
Dr. Starsiak's Longevity Protocol
4 more items in Dr. Starsiak's Longevity ProtocolHealthy aging is built on sleep, movement, whole food, and a settled nervous system — this protocol supports the cellular side of that work. CoQ10 supports mitochondrial energy production, which naturally declines with age. Curcumin with Bioperine supports a healthy inflammatory response. ResveraCel pairs nicotinamide riboside with resveratrol to support NAD+ and cellular repair pathways. Take each with a meal containing some fat for best absorption. All products are vegetarian. This is general wellness support, not a substitute for individualized care — if you take blood thinners or other prescriptions, check with us before starting.
Dr. Starsiak's Daily Foundations Protocol
3 more items in Dr. Starsiak's Daily Foundations ProtocolThe base layer most regimens should start with - before anything exotic. Suggested use (I'll fine-tune this with you at your visit): O.N.E. Multivitamin - 1 capsule daily with food. Vitamin D + K2 Liquid - 2 drops daily with a meal containing fat; we'll adjust based on your vitamin D labs. ProOmega 2000 - 2 softgels daily with food for brain, heart, and joint support. These three cover the deficiencies I see most often in Indiana - vitamin D especially. If you are pregnant, nursing, or on blood thinners or other medications, check with me before starting. - Dr. Starsiak
Dr. Starsiak's Gut Restoration Protocol
4 more items in Dr. Starsiak's Gut Restoration ProtocolRebuilding digestion from the ground up. Suggested use (I'll fine-tune this with you at your visit): Triphala - 2 tablets before bed to support regularity and gentle daily detoxification. Digestive Enzymes Ultra - 1 capsule with each meal while we rebuild digestive fire. Ther-Biotic Complete - 1 capsule daily with food to reseed the microbiome. Give this 4 to 6 weeks alongside the fundamentals: eat warm cooked food, largest meal at midday, minimal snacking, and stop eating 3 hours before bed. If you are pregnant, nursing, immunocompromised, or on medications, check with me before starting. - Dr. Starsiak
Dr. Starsiak's Men's Sexual Health Protocol
6 more items in Dr. Starsiak's Men's Sexual Health ProtocolSupport for testosterone, drive, and performance from several angles at once. Ashwagandha supports healthy testosterone, strength gains with training, and recovery — partly by deepening sleep and blunting the stress response that works against male hormones. Gokshura (Tribulus), the classic Ayurvedic aphrodisiac, supports healthy libido. Shilajit supports the testes' own testosterone production and cellular energy. Selenium is a key mineral for male hormone and sperm health. Nicotinamide riboside (NiaCel) raises NAD+, the energy currency underneath all of it. Best taken with food; give the botanicals 8-12 weeks of consistency before judging results. If you take thyroid, blood pressure, blood sugar, or psychiatric medications, check with us first. This supports normal male physiology — it is not a substitute for evaluating low testosterone, and we offer lab testing if you want numbers first.
Dr. Starsiak's Women's Sexual Health Protocol
4 more items in Dr. Starsiak's Women's Sexual Health ProtocolSupport for desire, arousal, and satisfaction — built on herbs with real clinical study behind them. Saffron, at the 30mg daily dose used in research, supports mood and healthy sexual function in women, including arousal and orgasm. Shatavari is Ayurveda's premier women's tonic; its gentle phytoestrogen activity supports arousal, comfort, natural lubrication, and a calmer nervous system. Shilajit supports steady energy and hormonal vitality. Nicotinamide riboside (NiaCel) raises NAD+ for cellular energy. All products are vegetarian. Take with food; give it 8-12 weeks of daily consistency for the full effect. If you are pregnant, nursing, have a hormone-sensitive condition, or take antidepressants or other prescriptions, check with us first. Low libido has many roots — hormones, sleep, stress, relationships, medications — and we're happy to look deeper with you.
Brain & Memory Support — Comprehensive
15 more items in Brain & Memory Support — ComprehensiveREAD THIS FIRST. The lifestyle foundation is the highest-value part of this program, and it outperforms everything below: ~150 min/week aerobic activity, resistance training 2-3x/week, daily balance work, protected sleep, a MIND-style diet with lunch as the largest meal, hearing correction, blood-pressure control, and daily meaningful connection. Supplements are second. Build the foundation first. This program supports quality of life, function, and attachment. It does not claim to reverse, cure, or stop Alzheimer's - and no one should promise you it will. Coordinate with the treating physician/neurologist before starting, and bring this list to the next appointment. HOW TO START: Introduce one new item at a time, a week or two apart, so benefit or side-effects can be attributed. Baseline labs before building: vitamin D, ferritin, metabolic panel, lipids, plus homocysteine if using B vitamins. THE BLEEDING STACK: omega-3, curcumin, vitamin E, reishi and - conservatively - ginkgo each nudge bleeding risk and add up. This matters most if he is on aspirin or an anticoagulant, or before any planned procedure. Hold ginkgo ~2 weeks before procedures. Keep omega-3 modest. If using Souvenaid, do NOT stack full separate doses of omega-3 and B-complex on top - Souvenaid already contains both plus vitamin E; have the physician reconcile the totals. MEDICATION RECONCILIATION FIRST: have the physician/pharmacist review the full list for anticholinergic burden and sedation, which worsen cognition and fall risk. Flag anticholinergics, benzodiazepines, Z-drugs, sedating antihistamines, bladder antimuscarinics, anticoagulants, antiplatelets, NSAIDs, and antihypertensives. DELIBERATELY NOT IN THIS PROTOCOL: Vitamin E 2000 IU is a physician/neurologist-level decision - the TEAM-AD benefit applies mainly to alpha-tocopherol added to background cholinesterase-inhibitor therapy in mild-to-moderate AD, and it did NOT show significant benefit in memantine-containing arms. Transdermal nicotine is a supervised trial, not a shelf item, and the 2-year MIND study found it did not slow memory loss overall. Semax and the serotonergic agents (psilocybin, DMT) are not home supplements. All of these belong in a conversation, not a cart. NOT AVAILABLE HERE: Shankhapushpi (Convolvulus prostratus) is not in the Fullscript catalog - it is on my Amazon list (Banyan Botanicals). It reduces phenytoin levels and has antithyroid activity: check TSH and use caution with antiepileptics or levothyroxine.—
