In his 35 + years of clinical experience, Dr. Peter Glidden has seen thousands of supplements come and go. But his message is simple: if you’ll become a student of your health (not just a patient), and you’ll commit to covering the foundational nutrients, you can achieve meaningful results in as little as three months.
What “Essential 90” Means
- Your body needs roughly 90 essential nutrients – including vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential fatty acids that it cannot manufacture itself.
- Dr. Glidden emphasizes that modern diet, stress, and environmental factors leave huge gaps, so the “Essential 90” protocol is designed to fill those gaps reliably.
- When his students follow the core protocol with discipline, he reports up to an 83 % success rate in ~3 months.
Why He Calls You a “Student”
He doesn’t want you to simply take something and hope it works. He wants you to learn: what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and how your body responds. That mindset, active engagement rather than passive treatment, drives better outcomes.
Key Products Dr. Glidden Recommends
- Youngevity 90 For Life™ / Healthy Body Start Pak – A core pack combining vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential fatty acids.
- Additional support products Dr. Glidden endorses:
- Ultimate Selenium – Essential trace mineral supporting antioxidants, cellular protection, and overall wellness in easy-to-take capsules.
- BTT 2.0 Tablets – Boost your health with Beyond Tangy Tangerine® 2.0 tablets—packed with essential nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants!
How it Works — Simply Put
- Cover the foundational nutrients via a high-quality supplement system (the products above).
- Support your lifestyle with quality sleep, balanced nutrition, and daily movement — and avoid the 12 Bad Foods that block nutrient absorption. [download the list here]
- Track your progress at 90 days: symptom changes, energy levels, sleep, focus, digestion, joint comfort, and mood. [download the free tracker pdf here]
- Advance/refine once the foundation is solid then you can address targeted issues (hormones, detox, aging, etc.).
Why It Matters
- Nutrient density in food has declined. Dr. Glidden argues this makes smart supplementation more relevant than ever.
- Simplifying your approach: rather than chasing dozens of different supplements (which represent Fractional Nutrition), cover ALL your nutritional needs with the Essential 90 nutrients.
- The mindset shift: You stop being a “patient” waiting for someone else to fix you, and become an active “student” who learns the tools, takes action, and stewards your health.
A Few Important Notes
- This is not a guarantee or substitute for personalised medical diagnosis or care.
- Always consider medical history, possible interactions, and personal lifestyle. What works in one case may need adjustment in another.
- The reported 83% success rate over three months came from a clinical trial of 10,000 participants who strictly followed the 90 Essential Nutrients and “no bad foods” protocol.
