Learn the at-home test to spot rancid fish oil, what labels to look for, why 83% of protein powders contain dangerous heavy metals, and how European health standards compare to American ones.

Trump is back…but should stakeholders operating within the intersecting CPG categories of functional foods, functional beverages, and nutritional supplements be cheerful about his return to the oval office? This will certainly not sound like a “hot take” or anything, but the second Trump presidential term will undoubtedly offer a mixture of risk and reward…ushering in a new era of market volatility. As press secretary Karoline Leavitt recently pointed out, "there has never been a president who communicates with the American people as openly and authentically as Donald Trump.” But while I personally enjoy that operating model…it does create an economic environment that I recently described to an industry colleague as “best suited for master sailors.” And that's because the art of both the sailor (and businessperson) is to leave nothing to chance…but sailors are artists whose medium is the wind and today's businesspeople must be artists whose medium is correctly spotting Donald Trump's subtle hints that reveal upcoming events. Furthermore, I believe a key to potentially benefitting from the Trump 2.0 “driver of demand” requires understanding how to position against a few of his known (but converging) “the art of the deal” tendencies. And these would be (1) a little hyperbole never hurts, (2) confirm an impression they were already predisposed to believe, (3) never get too attached to one deal or one approach, and (4) sometimes your best decisions are the ones you don't make. Finally, it's extremely important to consider rate of speed and level of efficiency surrounding Trump 2.0 changes. Since this is a “been here, done that” kind of thing, Trump won't fumble through the initial phase of his term he will have a better understanding around bottlenecks and getting around chokepoints…including how to flex unilateral powers. Also, given that the House and Senate are Republican majorities (at least for the next two years), that political trifecta usually creates efficiency and makes for stickier policy changes. But the inspiration behind my latest first principles thinking content piece (or I guess content miniseries) was a Trump 2.0 section titled “rhetoric foreshadowing action is greater than embellished negotiation tactics” that I included into many of functional CPG brand and supply side client presentations during the last quarter of 2024. And while each of those client presentations were packed with diverse personalized insights…I'm confident this “Trump 2.0” content miniseries, filled with a refined (and expanded) version of my generalized “base case” strategies, will be extremely valuable to my regular audience. And I figured part three of this Trump 2.0 content miniseries should be “financial" because he loves to use (especially the stock market) as measurement for his success and economic scoreboard overall. And I'd group the expected Trump 2.0 policy decisions to restore (and promote) American competitiveness into three buckets; cutting burdensome regulations, retaliatory tariffs, and providing financial incentives. But since I deeply covered the first two policy decision buckets within the previous Trump 2.0 content miniseries parts…I will focus on financial incentives like "America First" business tax cuts, but also interest rate dynamics, private financial markets (investing/fundraising), U.S. dollar index, stock market performance, and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Let's be real, most supplements are just expensive hype. The fitness industry is a billion-dollar machine built on flashy marketing, half-truths, and straight-up BS claims. So how do you know what actually works and what's just draining your wallet?In today's episode, I'm breaking it all down, the supplements that are a complete waste of money, the only two I actually stand by, and how to stop falling for influencer hype. Spoiler: fat burners won't burn fat, BCAAs are useless if you eat enough protein, and detox teas? They're just overpriced laxatives. Instead of throwing your money at gimmicks, I'll tell you exactly where to invest for real results.We'll talk about why protein powder and creatine are the only two supplements that actually move the needle when it comes to muscle growth, recovery, and performance. Plus, how to figure out if you actually need a supplement in the first place, or if it's just another marketing ploy. And before you buy anything, there's one key question you need to ask yourself (trust me, it'll save you a ton of money).If you're tired of supplement confusion and want to simplify your approach while still getting the best results possible, this episode is for you.I Also Discuss:(00:00) The Truth About Supplements: What Works & What's a Waste(07:32) Fat Burners, BCAAs & Detox Teas: Why They're a Scam(13:50) Protein Powder & Creatine: The Only Two That Matter(27:09) Do You Actually Need That Supplement?Find more from Tara: Website: https://www.taralaferrara.com/Instagram: @taralaferrara @thetaratalk @broads.appYoutube: Tara LaFerrara Thank you to our sponsors:Broads: Visit Broads.app and enter code PODCAST for 20% off your first month.Cronometer: Visit cronometer.com for 15% off the Premium subscription.

So, just to set the stage…you can expect this “Trump 2.0” content miniseries to initially include four loosely titled parts; regulatory, global trade, financial, and commerce. And I figured part two of this Trump 2.0 content miniseries should be “global trade" because he made imposing tariffs central to his economic program. Moreover, with most functional CPG inputs (whether various ingredients or raw materials) coming from countries of origin outside the United States (and China having near monopolies currently on many portions of those inputs), these tariffs can materially affect two key elements (pricing and overall supply stability). And that means industry stakeholders don't share the same overwhelming level of optimism (and excitement) they've expressed surrounding Trump's health agency selections.

Send us a textDr. Andrea Love of Immunologic is back for Part 2. This week we're talking politics.The political spectrum isn't as divided as it looks—turns out both sides can latch onto the same sketchy ideas, just for wildly different reasons. Dr. Love takes us back to the first anti-vax wave in the 1970s:Liberals were all about “no toxins, no chemicals, keep it natural!"Conservatives, on the other hand, didn't trust the government and didn't want to be told what to do.Fast forward, and here we are with the booming (and unregulated) supplement industry—a 50+ year effort to make people doubt the government, science, and even basic safety standards.You may also recognize another political mantra... MAHA, RFK Jr.'s “Make America Healthy Again” platform, exploiting the country's health challenges to fuel outrage at Big Food, Big Pharma, and, honestly, probably Big Spoon at this point.Lastly, you've got questions... We've got answers. Or maybe more questions? Dr. Love rapid-fire on today's hottest topics:Probiotics? Mostly hype, barely proven for much.Food sensitivity tests? Food sensitivity is not a medical condition—case closed.Ultra-processed food? The term means nothing—processing isn't inherently bad.Seed oils? They're fine. Seriously. Good fats, even.Masks? Use them when it makes sense for you and your loved ones.Carnivore diets? Overhyped. For real health improvements, talk to a dietitian.Metabolic reset? No magic switch here—just consistent, unsexy healthy habits.Family gatherings, social media, and uncomfy conversations—how do we fight misinformation? Stop resharing garbage—screenshot it if you need receipts. Share credible sources, and speak up when you see harmful nonsense (safely, of course).We've all got a part to play. Follow along with Dr. Love and the other science resources she recommends in today's episode.What's Inside:Let's get political, political (does either side get it right?)MAHA—does one of those A's stand for angry? Because it should.Rapid fire hot button topics…what's the truth?Compatting misinformation online and in person. Dr. Angela Love is impressive, dude!! And I really wanted to leave this conversation feeling confident in who I trust and where to seek information. Turns out it is a hell of a lot more nuanced than that. What surprised you the most to find out when it came to these hot button health issues? Let me know on Insta!Mentioned In This Episode:Andrea C.

Send us a textClickbait headlines, shady supplements, and sketchy policies—oh my! Enter Dr. Andrea Love, an immunologist and all-around impressive human.Frustrated by medical misconceptions, Andrea founded Immunologic with a mission to replace fear with curiosity and equip people with critical thinking skills.Medical organizations and safety or science agencies each have distinct roles, but their flexibility is often shaped by government policies. To navigate their guidance, rely on 2-3 solid, reputable (and relevant) resources—trusting just one source is like building a table with only one leg: it won't hold up.Research doesn't happen overnight. It's a marathon, not a TikTok trend. And as demographics represented become more overall present, it takes time for that to reflect. With the wave of attention to menopause in the media, women are the primary target of the wild west of unregulated supplements. Dr. Love warns about “Hormone hacks”. These claims are red flags built for sales, not science.Providers are in the trenches; how can they help patients survive this predatory landscape?By walking people through data (not fear) and translating science into—as Dr. Love bluntly puts it—something a 4th grader can understand.Some experts overuse jargon or discredit others. Don't get caught up in the Huberman Hype and be critical of red flags: conflicts of interest, excessive jargon, and acting like the authority on everything.Remember: Real experts know their limits—and yours. I had to cut this one short so you can soak up this wealth of information. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this interview next week. What's Inside:Medical misconceptions in the media.Who to trust in the sea of medical orgs, providers, safety orgs, and science communicators?Red Flags in the media and supplement industryGetting critical and understanding science and research.It can feel like everywhere you look there are big, bold medical claims! How can YOU solve this huge problem you didn't even know you had TODAY!? Are you guilty of trusting anyone with a PhD using big fancy words?

In today's conversation, I catch up with my buddy Jordan Bokser, a health practitioner and supplement expert with extensive experience working in the supplement industry for some very reputable and popular brands.As someone who had a supplement company and formulated a popular workout product, I know about all of the intricacies that go into sourcing high-quality ingredients, bringing a product to market, and how to read between the lines of all the nefarious BS that's going on as influencers and social media make it harder and harder to know what works and is worth your hard-earned dollars.In this episode, Jordan and I discuss how, through personal illness, realized the power of high-quality supplementation..We talk about the difference between practitioner grade products and conventional brands, like those you find at Walgreens, Costco and CVSWe discuss the commoditization of supplement brands and how the cost of products isn't always reflective of the qualityAnd we talk about his new company, Spoken Nutrition and the high quality, and foundational products that should form the backbone of someones supplement regimen.If you're currently taking supplements or you've considered it and aren't sure where to start, then this episode is for you.As always, if you love what you hear on this show, then do me a favor and subscribe, leave a positive rating and review, and share this episode with a friend or loved one whom you think could benefit.

Vital Proteins was hardly the first supplement brand to utilize collagen peptides, but it has become a category creator that disrupted the entire protein space. And while most will focus on the brand's leading share in the collagen market across every U.S. sales channel, I want to talk sustainability at Vital Proteins. For those unaware, collagen peptides are an upcycled byproduct of the meat industry…but Vital Proteins has additional responsible sourcing standards and traceability guidelines. Additionally, Vital Proteins removed 25 million plastic scoops from circulation and aims to be 100% scoopless by the end of this year. And then recently, it was announced that a blue paperboard tub…that uses 90% less plastic than the brand's traditional tub, will be used for its top-selling Unflavored Collagen product available at Sam's Club stores nationwide.

Even after shining a spotlight on arguably one of the largest “blue oceans” just over two years ago, it seems inattentional blindness continues to plague most supplement brands. But within the supplement industry…maybe the phenomenon of missing something so obvious could be attributed to being distracted by the same old way or even disbelief that there's a simpler opportunity. The “sports nutrition” niche of the supplement industry is a graveyard of once-buzzy brands that abruptly stopped growing…at least in part because they never had a solid strategic plan to turn anyone into a customer who wasn't already relatively fit. In July 2022, I explored a related topic, showing through a collection of different statistics that spanned race signups, connected fitness average workout by subscriber data, wearables activity levels, and even national/state park visitation numbers…that there was widespread growth across endurance activity type, interest, and competitive level. Additionally, I presented several other "Great Shutdown" accelerated “drivers of demand” that showed how drastically different the fitness landscape became, thus providing the needed shifts in consumer behavior that could fuel new commercial opportunities within the supplement industry. But while change absolutely happened from 2020 to 2022...these last two years have been an equally chaotic period for the fitness landscape. So, I'll re-examine a few previously utilized statistical trends for their stickiness level and then also explore a few new data stories (like the rise of run clubs, longevity and healthspan trend, fit lifestyle sports nutrition shift) that encompass today's fitness vibes. But does this compelling data storytelling around potential long-term consumer behavior change justify a strategic action by brand owners within the “sports nutrition” niche of the supplement industry? Because oftentimes the best approach is to let others better serve that market. That being said, I'll re-examine two sports nutrition brands (Science in Sport and Bare Performance Nutrition (BPN)) that are authentically serving the endurance activity market. Plus, I'll add a new dynamic to this discussion with Raw Nutrition recently launching a subline of sports nutrition products called Raw Endurance. Additionally, I'll tackle key strategic elements like product strategy because it's important to meet the endurance activity consumer where they are right now (and consider future adjacencies). Finally, I remind supplement brand owners that the biggest “blue ocean” opportunity is through incrementality. That's why I talked about the foundational human movements of walking, hiking, biking, and running…as it provides you with a chance to turning a “beginner” into a customer. And what I mean by a “beginner” isn't the typical fitness industry definition of someone relatively young (and capable) who wants to become more conventionally attractive, get swole, or learn a trendy workout. I'm talking about most adult Americans who don't currently hit the CDC's recommended minimums for regular exercise. More than ever, humans are beginning to realize that movement is an essential component in quality of life…but what the supplement industry doesn't understand is that being distracted by the same old way or even disbelief that there's a simpler opportunity is leaving significant underserved audiences of true beginners (with enormous demand).

Élan M. Sudberg is CEO of Alkemist Labs, a passionately committed contract testing laboratory specializing in plant authentication, botanical ingredient identification and quantitative analytical services to the Food & Beverage, Nutraceutical and Cosmeceutical Industries. He holds a degree in chemistry from California State University Long Beach and has authored numerous journal articles on phytochemistry and analytical techniques for the natural products and nutraceutical industry. He is on the executive committee of the AHPA, as well as AHPA's Education and Research on Botanicals Foundation, and past chair of the Hemp and Medical Marijuana committee. He received the 2019 NutraIngredients-USA NutraChampion award for advocacy of best testing practices.   Together Élan and I explore the supplement industry, from the quality of supplements to the process of testing ingredients. Élan challenges the claim that the supplement industry is untested, unsafe and unregulated, and instead offers insights into what actually happens at each stage of testing and what it really means when raw materials are rejected.

GLP-1 weight loss pharmaceuticals will cause equally pervasive second-order effects to functional CPG categories as AI will trigger regarding business productivity. Despite our collective ambiguity on the true extent, I believe the skyrocketing popularity of weight loss pharmaceuticals has already tangibly disrupted many aspects of the CPG industry. The problem (i.e. obesity epidemic) has reached unprecedented levels...as the most recent CDC statistics show more than 100 million people are considered obese by the U.S. government…and also candidates for weight loss pharmaceuticals. There are the obvious health-related motivating factors like managing diabetes or cardiovascular disease…but also something deeper at play involving social ideals, which has kept Americans extremely interested in weight management. Another core reason why weight management is such a mass appeal dietary outcome is that American modern life constantly messes with our ability to achieve even a fraction of the standard we set. So, it shouldn't be surprising to learn that the United States is by far the world's largest weight loss pharmaceuticals market, currently accounting for an estimated two-thirds of total dollars spent globally. Since its 2017 approval as a diabetes treatment, semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy) has become one of the most popular prescription drugs in the United States. But while their intended purpose was to moderate insulin levels in Type 2 diabetics, new users are overwhelmingly adopting these drugs for its notable weight loss side effects. These unmet medical needs are more than enough to build demand…but countless popular celebrities (like Oprah Winfrey), positively sharing their experience, has further fueled its meteoric rise. In fact, marketplace experts now estimate annual weight loss drug sales reaching $150 billion by 2033. But let's talk about results…because within weight management categorical spending, consumers want outcomes. Users of Ozempic and similar drugs, that followed a diet and exercise program, had an average weight loss of 15 to 20 percent and significant reductions in cardiovascular risk factors. So, I've laid out the massive problem and a very probable solution, but what about predicted outcomes (and second-order effects)? Does the “Age of Ozempic” indeed continue reshaping the CPG industry or will it quickly turn into overhyped garbage after post-market surveillance showed too many public health safety questions? Regardless, I believe it's easiest to think about “the Age of Ozempic” as being a major catalyst that fundamentally shifts consumer behavior. And although the weight loss achieved through these pharmaceuticals has been remarkable, concerns about the long-term sustainability of these results persist. Additionally, for many users…GLP-1 drugs are not a long-term commitment but rather a step along the way in their weight management journey. But that naturally sets up three adjacent opportunities for functional CPG companies to market their products as part of the onramp, during, and offramp portions of a continued healthy lifestyle change. Finally, I'll focus on the potential impacts within the intersecting categories of functional foods, functional beverages, and nutritional supplements. This includes how these functional CPG categories can bridge nutritional gaps (i.e. protein powder) and help combat against the side effects of weight-loss drugs (i.e. muscle loss and HMB).

In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz and Svein Erik Haugmo, Co-founder and CEO of ORIVO, a third-party testing laboratory in Norway, discuss the high level of fraudulence in the fish oil industry. 80% of the best-selling fish oil supplements on Amazon are NOT what the companies selling them say they are. Eighty percent of label claims were found to be inaccurate representations of the product found in the bottle. After realizing the abundance of unethical and immoral, greedy business practices within this area, Svein and his team at Orivo developed a one-of-a-kind, revolutionary origin verification technology to test consumable fish products for people and pets. They collaborate with supplement companies to help promote transparency, fight fraudulence, and protect consumers around the globe.

One of the joys of the modern era is that, thanks to the internet, people we admire from afar are tantalizingly within reach. I've been on both sides of the equation. My community often reaches out about wanting to connect, and I've done my share of approaching people I admire. In my case of meeting Doug Miller, who is the founder (or co-owner) of supplement brands (e.g. Core Nutritionals, 'Merica Labz, Arms Race Nutrition, Unmatched, and Myoblox) and the specialty supplement retail chain The Nutrition Corners, I got lucky having a mutual friend introduce us at a beverage category conference several years ago. But in this wide-ranging conversation, it felt like I was peeling away layer after layer of the onion...not to reveal something hidden, but to discover more authenticity. Doug and I talk through the inspiration behind starting a supplement brand side hustle two decades ago, and how that decision turned into an expansive business portfolio that includes specialty retail locations, gyms, and more supplement brands. We also discussed what it truly takes to be successful when leading multiple businesses, being a family man, and making an impact in his community. Moreover, how the maturation of the supplement industry has required everyone to upskill if they want to truly break through. Additionally, why a messy period in American history helped derail his first attempt at scaling an energy drink brand. But these are just some of the fascinating topics we chatted about in this episode...

Coming to you live from Austin, Texas, I can't wait for you to meet Dan Freed—a man who's journeyed from the hot kitchen of high-end cooking to the frontier of brain improvement. Dan's the founder and CEO of Thesis, a company that's revolutionizing the way we think about our brain's potential, and his journey is one of resilience and innovation. Picture this… A kid struggling with focus throughout childhood, he drops out of high school and claws his way up in the ruthless restaurant industry to become a saucier in a three-star Michelin kitchen. But the real twist comes when Dan, grappling with burnout, stumbles upon cognitive performance supplements. This discovery didn't just change his mental game, it transformed his entire life. Fast forward through degrees from Yale and INSEAD, and you have the Dan that sits down for this interview—committed to helping others harness their brainpower to the fullest.We get into the nitty gritty of nootropics and the supplement industry, talking about how Dan's fight with burnout and learning challenges led to the birth of Thesis Nootropics. We share tips on adapting human biology to our modern world, discuss the thorny issues of regulation and quality in the supplement industry, and explain how Thesis uses a unique combined approach of customizing nootropics and expert support for their customers.
