Collagen is one of our most asked-about supplements, and for good reason.

It supports your hair, skin, nails, and joints. It is not a complete protein on its own, so it pairs well with your whey protein.

Have questions? Come talk to us.

Our workout sessions are one hour long, and we wanted to break down exactly what one of our workout plans looks like!

Don't forget about recovery!

Most people can handle 3 to 5 workouts a week. On the other days, go for a walk, try yoga, or take a salt bath. Light movement still counts as recovery.

Do the work, but then let your body catch up afterwards as well!

Ryan shows Laurel how to position your shoulders for a stronger, safer pushup. Shoulder position matters more than most people think. Getting them set correctly can protect your joints and help you get more out of every rep. Thanks for being a team player, Laurel!

Pictured here are a couple of awesome Seca charts from one of our members who agreed to share their progress.

The first chart shows body composition. You can see their muscle mass going up and their fat mass going down over time. That is what steady, healthy progress looks like.

The second chart shows segmental muscle mass. This breaks down where your muscle is on your body. It helps you see where you are strong and where you might need to improve.

These are just a few of the charts our Seca scale provides. The goal is to give you clear data, track your progress, and help you build healthy habits that last!

Peptides have definitely been trending lately. It feels like everyone online suddenly became an expert overnight.

We have been getting a lot of questions, so here is the simple breakdown. Peptides are short strands of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the body. Different peptides can support different goals, depending on what you are trying to accomplish.

As with anything in the health space, context matters. Your goals, your labs, your history, and your lifestyle all play a role.

If you have seen something online and are curious whether it makes sense for you, we are an open book.

Proud of every single one of you.
