You’ve seen the ads. You’ve read the labels. You’ve heard the promises: melt fat while you sleep, triple your testosterone, turn back the clock 20 years.

 

But here’s the truth - after five and a half years and 364 episodes of this podcast, this is the first time we’ve done a dedicated episode on supplements. And that’s because, outside of correcting obvious deficiencies, supplements are the last 1% of your healthy aging journey.

 

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the $50 billion supplement industry, share my own (expensive) supplement journey, and give you the no-BS guide to what actually works for people over 50.

 

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • How the supplement industry exploded - and why it’s still the Wild West of wellness
  • The biggest “buyer beware” red flags (and how to spot them)
  • Why you should test before you buy (and my favorite at-home test)
  • The supplements to avoid if you value your health and your wallet
  • My Top 6 Supplements for Healthy Aging - the ones I personally take and recommend to clients
  • How to make supplements work with your diet and training, not instead of them

 

By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly where to spend your supplement dollars — and where not to waste them.
