Episode 53:Are Supplements Safe? The Bitter Truth
Description
You are dedicated to optimizing your health. You eat a clean diet, you exercise, and you’re always looking for an edge to improve your performance, energy, and longevity. Walking through the health food store or scrolling online, you are met with a dazzling array of bottles and powders, all promising to fill nutritional gaps, boost brainpower, build muscle, or turn back the clock. The supplement industry appears to be an extension of the health and wellness movement, a scientific path to a better you.
