It's really a shame that so many supplement brands out there have given the industry a bad name. From not using cGMP and FDA certified manufacturers, to making faulty marketing claims, to making cheap formulas, to using social media influencers to push their crap.

That is not the standard that the industry should be judged. And honestly, it's not that hard to identify these brands. Don't buy on Amazon. Don't buy at grocery stores. Don't buy from social media. Look at labels. Understand what you're getting. Do a bit of research in the brand. Follow my page 🤷

And because many people are aware of these brands, we've now created a hoard of consumers that expect absolute perfection, or more often than not, they look for unicorns that don't exist. They expect that everything follow their magical set of expectations (no fillers, no extra ingredients, made with ingredients from USA, 3rd party tested 27 times, etc). That level of manufacturing also doesn't really exist.

When you sit in the middle of these two ugly extremes you realize that nutrition and supplements just aren't that complicated. Be picky, but don't get involved in the fear-mongering and "needle-in-the-haystack" expectations.

I'm in this stuck place where to my left are people who could care less about their health and to my right are all the "healthy" people who are afraid of "other ingredients" on a supplement label. Every time I talk to people I realize that I'm on an island.

What it's like helping people in the supplement industry

Things that are WORTHLESS to drink during a workout: BCAAs/Aminos, Preworkout, Protein

Things you SHOULD drink during a workout: Water, Salt, Electrolytes (in smaller amounts compared to salt), Carbohydrates (if it's a long and/or very intense workout)

Make the switch and see the difference in performance and endurance.

Sometimes you don't realize how bad you're sleeping until you finally get good sleep. It literally affects everything.

At this point, if you aren't taking creatine, WHY?

11/15/2025

I love when this gets brought up because it is so easy to tear apart this argument. And to start, this shouldn't even be an argument or comparison.

Pharma/Medicine is synthetic compounds that alter the body's normal physiological processes in an effort to cure or treat something. Medicine is NOT natural. Therefore it has to go through all kinds of testing and safety protocols to ensure it can be used safely in humans. I am not arguing this nor do I think medicine is bad. Medicine has its place when necessary.

Supplements are literally food nutrients. They are extracted with solvents and isolated in higher doses than found in regular food. Why? Because these nutrients are why food is healthy. Why are fruits known for their immune health benefits? Vitamin C, antioxidants, anthocyanins, and other phytochemicals. Why is steak healthy? Protein, creatine, B vitamins, iron, zinc, and other minerals. Why are herbs healthy? Think turmeric, parsley, cinnamon, garlic. All used in supplements. My point is that supplements are not a difficult concept to understand.

Do you need 3 phases of double-blind research studies to prove that blueberries are good for you? How many research studies does it take to prove that eggs, broccoli, pomegranates, salmon, and almonds are healthy? Supplements do not cure or treat anything- they are used just like food- for preventative health purposes. Bashing the supplement industry because you don't understand it? Bashing the supplement industry because food doesn't need extensive research to ensure safety and to determine how healthy it is? Bashing the supplement industry by saying it isn't to the level of medicine, but not acknowledging that nearly ALL supplement nutrients have fairly sufficient research/evidence proving its use and safety. Creatine has hundreds of research studies.

But you don't think supplements have enough research? Who's funding it? Big pharma? No? Why? Because you don't want the people to learn how to engage in preventative health? Got it.

I cannot figure out a damn logo for my brand 🤣🤣 I think this has been the hardest part of the entire process. Sorry about the constant changes for my profile pic. I've been testing it on here and my website to see how it looks on different platforms. If anyone has any input or ideas let me know. I'm going for a potion vibe.

People always ask me...

Why do you eat so much steak?

I eat 2-3 steaks a week. 90% of the time they're thick cut NY strips. Lower in fat and I always find them at a great price. This steak below was $9 and it's almost a pound.

Steak is one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can eat. High in protein, iron, zinc, b vitamins, choline, selenium, and creatine. It has zero carbohydrates, which is why I always pair it with fruit/berries. Here I have pomegranate seeds and strawberries, which are rich in vitamin c, potassium, folate, magnesium, iron, and polyphenols.

I'm not a carnivore, nor do I recommend the carnivore diet. Steak is heavy and takes awhile to digest. I only consume it at dinner where I want to prioritize fat and protein, while limiting starches and simple carbohydrates. Red meat doesn't cause heart disease nor does it clog your arteries like people love to say. With that said all food has pros and cons, but the better choices have far more pros that cons. Steak is one of those foods.

I tolerate red meat the best out of all protein sources. I feel better when I consume it. And that is a big part of how I program as a Nutrition Coach. My priorities are nutrient-dense foods, variety, and how you specifically respond/feel when eating certain foods. I don't require my clients to eat steak. It's a me decision.

And that's how you should approach nutrition.

Something I am beginning to learn and understand is that people DO NOT want to be told what to do when it comes to health, fitness, nutrition, and supplements.

People generally want to learn it on their own and not seem ill-educated to those who already understand it. Personally speaking, I have never been talked back to, argued with, yelled at, belittled, and laughed at more than the last 5 years working in nutrition and supplements. AND it's in the face of truth that some people just can't take it.

And I get it. I often come across as arrogant. I pick on people (for being ridiculous, though). I talk loudly. I can seem cocky. But what do I also do? I speak the truth. I don't cut corners. I don't talk with hype. I don't bullsh*t. I don't lie. I speak with the goal of education, results, and sustainability.

But, I will say, I'm often frustrated with the industry I'm in. It's 90% bullsh*t, lies, over-marketing, and hype. It lacks education and people that want to make it right. I'm trying to be one of the good guys. But my approach is different than what you see on social media and advertisements. Which is a great thing, in my opinion.

With all of this said I will still not change. I'm okay with 95% of the people who read my posts to not care, move past, not support, or not agree with. Because the 5% are my rocks. And eventually, 5% of a million people will be enough for me to create a community that gets it.

I'll stay my course.

What your energy drink choice says about you...

Celsius: You're a basic woman.

Alani Nu: You're also a woman, but you're trying to not be basic and you think women are only allowed to drink Celsius or Alani.

Bloom: You're a classy woman. You've grown up from Celsius and Alani, but you're scared to try anything else now because you think everything else is only for men.

Monster Original: You're 40, but you remember the good old days drinking Monster in high school then shoving a nerd into a locker.

Monster Sugar-Free: You're old, stuck in your ways, but you realize you don't need 50g of sugar in a Monster.

Rockstar: You're old, but kind of edgy.

Red Bull: You think that because Red Bull is the only energy drink that's advertised you think it's the best. You have no ability to understand that Red Bull is the absolute worst energy drink in existence, but you love to tell people on Facebook that you "need a Red Bull fix."

C4: You're a crackhead.

NOS: You've been a crackhead for 20 years. You think NOS is the strongest energy drink but you really are still living in 2009.

Bang: Give it up. They fooled you thinking they put creatine in their energy drink but they lost the lawsuit. They are a fraud company.

Reign: Does anyone still drink this??

Jocko: You let Jocko Willink convince you that this is what energy drinks should be even though this drink is almost as bad as Red Bull.

Black Rifle Energy: No way anyone drinks these. They're disgusting.

Ryse: You used to drink Bang or Reign and you're maximum 22 years old.

3D: You understand that this is the cheapest energy drink in existence but it's solid and basic.

Accelerator: Let's be real. You were 100% convinced by Travis Kelce or Livvy Dunne to drink this. And it's awful, isn't it?

Lost & Found: You're a TikTok shopper.

1st Phorm: You're an S2 snob and part of a cult. Personally speaking, I don't like you.

Prime Energy: You're between the ages of 10 and 14. You shouldn't be drinking caffeine and I will tell your mom.

Bum Energy: You understand this is the best energy drink with the least amount of caffeine. A solid choice.

Ghost: You understand what a functional energy drink is, but you haven't discovered Gorilla Mind.

Gorilla Mind: You get it. You truly understand it. It's the single greatest energy drink in existence from a formula perspective. You are the most respected energy drink consumer.

Black Coffee: You think energy drinks are bad for you and you tell everyone that.

Foo Foo Coffee: Same as black coffee but you don't prioritize your health at all.

Tea: You're caffeine sensitive and probably old.
