If you buy supplements off of Amazon, you need to read this:

One of the biggest problems Amazon has is counterfeit products, specifically supplements.

Increased reports of fake vitamins, protein powders, and other health products being sold on the platform have surged in recent years.

Why is this happening? A major culprit is Amazon's commingled inventory system.

This means products from different sellers, whether they be authentic or not, are pooled together in the same bins at Amazon warehouses.

This means that if you order a supplement for Amazon, you might think you're getting it from your chosen seller.

But with co-mingled inventory, Amazon ships whichever unit is closest regardless of which seller provided it.

This is serious shit.

Counterfeit supplements have been found to contain everything from harmless fillers like rice and flour to dangerous substances, sometimes including undeclared pharmaceuticals, allergens and heavy metals.

Brands like Now Foods and Fungi Perfecta have discovered multiple counterfeit versions of their supplements sold on Amazon, sometimes by dozens of different storefronts.

Some fakes even tested positive for drugs like Viagra.

For us consumers, this means that you can't always trust the label or the seller rating you see on Amazon.

Even products that say "sold by Amazon" can be affected if commingled inventory is used.

To fight this, Amazon has introduced product programs like Project Zero and product serialization to help brands fight counterfeits.

Sellers can opt out of commingled inventory by using Amazon-specific barcodes, but many products are still at risk.

The best way to get around this? Buy direct from the seller.

Until Amazon fully addresses the risk of commingled inventory counterfeit supplements will always remain a threat.

Also, always check for third-party testing and be wary of deals that seem to be too good to be true.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's better that you hear this now instead of blindly ordering your next supplement off of Amazon.

One more thing to add is that if this is happening to supplements, you can be damn sure that this is happening to other items that Amazon sells as well.

Stay safe out there and make sure that you are buying from the actual seller's account or from the seller themselves.

Harsh truths I know at 45 I wish I knew at 25:

1. You spend life with one person, which is you. If you don't like yourself, you will have an issue.

2. Growth is painful. Staying in the same spot as last year is even more painful.

3. You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped.

4. People who tend to hate on others on social media are usually projecting their insecurities.

5. People you admire in life carry the traits you have inside but are too scared to bring out.

6. To achieve a goal you've never achieved you need to change into a person you've never been before.

7. As you grow you will lose friends & find new ones. No one grows at the same rate. It is what it is.

8. Your parents did more with less. Give them the respect they deserve.

But most people don’t know there are simple ways to hack your eating to get better results.

1. Avoid drinking alcohol. It's negative calories, ruins sleep, and makes you hungrier while lowering your energy and focus the next day.

2. Chew your food until it becomes liquid. this improves digestion and increases your feelings of fullness.

3. Eat from smaller plates as this tricks your brain into thinking it had more food.

23 things I wish I knew for faster, easier fat loss:

1. Stop drinking alcohol. Trying to lose weight while drinking alcohol is playing the game on hard mode. Give it up and bring it back once you've hit your target.

2. Take 5 grams of creatine a day to help support muscle growth, recovery, and workout performance. Take 10+ grams for the mental benefits.

3. Stop using your workouts to burn fat. Use them to build muscle. When you hit the gym try to do a bit more in strength, volume, or both.

4. The best workouts are repeated over 12 weeks or longer. You can't get better if you keep on changing your exercises.

5. Front load your workouts & backload your calories. This means getting your workouts done earlier in the day and saving the bulk of your calories at the end.

If you want to create the healthiest home on the planet, read this:

Your home can be the biggest source of sickness or health.

The air you breathe. The water you drink. The light you see.

Most people focus on diet and exercise but ignore the 90% of time spent indoors.

If I were to build the healthiest home on the planet, here's what I do 👇

1. AIR: Clean Your Lungs

· HEPA filters in main rooms
· Keep humidity at 40-60% (get a cheap hygrometer)
· Open windows when air quality is good
· Clean your A/C regularly (mold grows fast)

You've been lied to.

They said hamburgers was junk food, but the truth is they are one of the healthiest foods on the planet.

You only need 5 key ingredients.

Here's how to make it:

1. The Bun

Sourdough is the healthiest bread on the planet.

The fermentation process breaks down gluten and phytic acid for easier digestion while lowering the glycemic index, unlocking more nutrients and minerals for your body to absorb.

2. The Pattie

Grass fed beef is a superfood.

It's rich in heart-healthy Omega-3s, antioxidants like Vitamin E, CLA (which is a cancer-fighting fat), and key nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins.

Meet Michael Lusgarden.

At 51, he's reversed his biological age by 21 years while being a single dad and living in a 700 square foot apartment.

His secret isn't being rich or having expensive gadgets.

It's data, blood work, and small tweaks.

Here's his exact routine:

1. The Foundation: Blood Work Drives Everything

Michael gets blood tests every 42 days and has done 54 tests since 2015.

Each test shows him what's working and what's not.

You can look young on the outside, but you can be old on the inside.

Getting blood work is the key.

2. Morning Routine: Tracking

Michael wakes up at 5 a.m, tongue scrapes & tracks his weight.

He also tracks room temperature and humidity to maintain ideal indoor conditions, reducing risks like dry skin, respiratory issues, and mold exposure.

He's been doing this since 2015.
