# 50 - Supplement Shakedown: Is Your Favorite Supplement Brand Owned by Nestle, Clorox, or Big Pharma?

What do Big Pharma and supplements have in common? Turns out, too much. This is a case of “What you don’t know could hurt you”. Here’s why: your favorite supplement brand is probably not owned by your favorite supplement brand anymore.

At least 58% of Americans have taken vitamin supplements within the past month. 

The supplement market is expected to grow from about $130 billion in 2021 to almost $200 billion in 2028, worldwide. 

Big Pharma and large conglomerates want a big piece of this rapidly growing pie, and it affects the supplements you take everyday. In fact, over 100 popular supplement companies are owned by just 14 mega corporations. 

Listen in today and have your mind blown. Better yet, get advice for how to buy the best supplements for you and your family going forward.

#46 - Are You a Highly Sensitive Person? See Why It’s Actually Your Superpower - Interview with Denise Carron

We can all feel overstimulated and overwhelmed from time-to-time, but for the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), it’s a way of life.  Highly sensitive people are those whose brains process information very deeply, including emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations. This makes them more physically and emotionally sensitive than other people. 

Throughout their lives, HSPs are often told that they’re overly-sensitive and that they need to lighten up. Turns out though, their heightened sensitivity is now known to be linked to higher levels of creativity, deep personal relationships, and an amazing appreciation for beauty.

Join me as I talk with Denise Carron today and we unwrap the gift of being a Highly Sensitive Person.
