Claims that 'supplements have zero proven benefit' rely on the Ecological Fallacy. They assume:
• Perfect nutrient density
• 0 specific medical risks
• A sedentary life

If you exercise, age, live indoors, or struggle to eat a near-perfect diet, the 'average' data doesn't apply to you

Over the last month, I've been running this program (4 training days per week, cycling through 2x).
I had been pushing the volume up previously and felt a need to shift to a low-volume, high-intensity plan, and in the coming month will start to push the volume up again.

I've seen it suggested that people should focus on amino acid intakes vs total protein.
This overcomplicates nutrition because when people consume sufficient protein to optimise health and bodycomp (with at least some variety) they get all the aminos they require in more than sufficient amounts.

Hemp, Mussel, or Fish Oil?
Hemp has a 3:1 omega 6-3 ratio and relatively high amounts of alpha-linolenic acid (+antioxidants and 2ndary nutrients.)🌱💪🏽 But many people don't convert ALA to DHA and EPA effectively.
Fish oil has high levels of DHA and EPA and is MUCH cheaper than Mussel oil. 🐟🥇

Certain values are ascribed to men because that's how they've been perpetuated by societal stereotypes and patriarchal views of gender roles.
If you don't think that women are resilient, courageous, and great leaders, you haven't been paying attention... and you're missing out. 🤷🏽‍♂️

A lot of people confuse homeopathy and herbal medicine... and many simply dismiss herbal medicine outright.
But many herbs have demonstrated positive results in clinical trials and can be part of an effective, evidence-based approach to healthcare.
