75: The Supplement Industry Is Lying to You—Here’s the Truth


Listen Later

Let’s be real, most supplements are just expensive hype. The fitness industry is a billion-dollar machine built on flashy marketing, half-truths, and straight-up BS claims. So how do you know what actually works and what’s just draining your wallet?

In today's episode, I’m breaking it all down, the supplements that are a complete waste of money, the only two I actually stand by, and how to stop falling for influencer hype. 

Spoiler: fat burners won’t burn fat, BCAAs are useless if you eat enough protein, and detox teas? They’re just overpriced laxatives. Instead of throwing your money at gimmicks, I’ll tell you exactly where to invest for real results.

We’ll talk about why protein powder and creatine are the only two supplements that actually move the needle when it comes to muscle growth, recovery, and performance. Plus, how to figure out if you actually need a supplement in the first place, or if it’s just another marketing ploy. And before you buy anything, there’s one key question you need to ask yourself (trust me, it’ll save you a ton of money).

If you’re tired of supplement confusion and want to simplify your approach while still getting the best results possible, this episode is for you.
