Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Nathan Jones, CEO and founder of Xlear, Inc.

Xylitol, FTC Censorship, and the Oral–Heart Health Connection: Nathan Jones, CEO and founder of Xlear, Inc., makers of xylitol-based nasal and dental hygiene products, and a health freedom advocate, discusses Jones' ongoing legal battle with the FTC. He addresses the difficulty of making health claims for hygiene products (including toothpaste and nasal sprays), the role of “weasel words” in supplement marketing, and concerns about regulatory double standards versus pharmaceuticals. He also reviews xylitol's benefits for dental caries and respiratory/ear infections, including references to studies and public-health examples (e.g., Finland and a Belize program reducing dental caries costs), and Jones' efforts to encourage Utah to implement xylitol gum programs in schools. He contrasts fluoride's enamel-strengthening approach with xylitol's effect on the underlying bacterial cause of tooth decay, discusses Utah's fluoride policy change and claims about fluoride's limited benefit, and highlights a correlation between poor oral health and cardiovascular risk via inflammation and bacterial translocation into the bloodstream, including pathogens found in atherosclerotic plaque, and links also discussed for dementia and Parkinson's.  They close with commentary on health advocacy in the “MAHA era,” the challenges of entrenched federal bureaucracy, and Jones' preference for advocacy groups that teach industry to push back rather than comply.

Celebrities are everyday people just like us and should never be placed on a pedestal. Well, unless their oftentimes mysterious financial involvement within the dietary supplement industry is being investigated. Welcome back to Part 3! And I bet even my most avid audience members are scratching their heads (in confusion), as it's been what feels like a lifetime since my last update in 2021. But I get it…in that timeframe, the celebrity brand playbook has been completely rewritten. We aren't just looking at celebrities as being "faces" of a product anymore…we've seen a massive shift toward talent-led brands where celebrities are literally taking a seat in the boardroom. Today, three-quarters of Americans take dietary supplements…but the trend has moved beyond basic vitamins and into functional foods, functional beverages, and bidirectional beauty products. Also, success is now driven by digital platforms and community connection rather than traditional ads…as it's no longer just about looking like your favorite celebrity; it's about living like them. And over the last five years, talent-led CPG brands positioned across the categorical intersections of functional foods, functional beverages, bidirectional beauty, and dietary supplements…have surpassed several billion dollars in annual retail sales. Likewise, celebrities have continued to pour billions into these supplement industry offshoots…arguably cementing it as the official net worth growth frontier for the A-list. But for this third installment…I've uncovered a dozen more celebrities who have quietly built (or invested into) the massive supplement empires you know (and love), including Kourtney Kardashian, Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Travis Kelce, Jennifer Lopez, Steve Aoki, Zac Efron, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Marisa Tomei, Joe Rogan, and Bella Hadid.

Building a supplement brand sounds exciting—until you understand the real economics behind it.  In this episode, Jake Hadlock, co‑founder of Nutrient, breaks down what it truly takes to manufacture products, manage capital, and scale in one of the most competitive industries in the country. We explore how trends like protein, clear whey, electrolytes, fiber, and even the rise of Ozempic are reshaping consumer behavior, and why so many founders underestimate the operational and financial demands of this space. Jake also shares the harsh reality of retail—how big‑box expansion can make or break a brand, why most DTC companies struggle to survive the transition, and what ultimately separates the few that last from the many that disappear.

Back in April 2023, you might remember that I uploaded a piece of content titled something like “The Clorox Company should divest its dietary supplement brand portfolio.” It aimed to increase recognition that a collection of supplement brands was buried within The Clorox Company, to clarify the holistic strategic reasoning behind why Clorox spent nearly $1 billion acquiring these dietary supplement brands last decade, and to describe (maybe not so surprisingly) how these dietary supplement brands mostly struggled under Clorox's ownership. And despite all that previous silly M&A justification rhetoric around how The Clorox Company had been a “health and wellness company” for over 100 years, the primary driver behind divestment was an integrated strategic plan that sought to achieve profitable growth acceleration through sharpening its focus on core household care brands. So, in the end…Clorox determined that the dietary supplement business was not aligned with its long-term vision. Accordingly, it took about 18 months after my original content, but that “pure rumor and speculation” turned into The Clorox Company selling its dietary supplements business (in its entirety) including the Natural Vitality, NeoCell, Rainbow Light, and RenewLife brands, relevant intellectual property, and the company's manufacturing and distribution facilities, to Piping Rock Health Products. But let me introduce you to the pure-play business that acquired these assets from The Clorox Company…because (I'd guess) despite its heritage rooted in over a half-century of experience in the supplement industry, many don't recognize the name Piping Rock Health Products. In 1971, the family's journey began with Arthur Rudolph, a pioneering figure in manufacturing vitamins. Following in his father's footsteps, Scott teamed up with him to form Nature's Bounty…which eventually became the world's largest vitamin manufacturer (marked by private equity firm The Carlyle Group acquiring the company for approximately $4 billion in 2010). A year later, joined by Scott's son Michael, the Rudolph family took that achievement to the next level by forming Piping Rock Health Products…a vertically integrated multi-format dietary supplement brand manufacturer, distributor, marketer, and retailer. Before acquiring RenewLife, Natural Vitality, NeoCell, and Rainbow Light from The Clorox Company, it internally developed Nature's Truth…a flagship brand modeled after Nature's Bounty that now generates around $300 million annually. Also, beyond offering a few other smaller brands…Piping Rock does a lot of private label contract manufacturing for leading retailers. So, irrespective of knowing every Clorox M&A financial detail…the acquisition still signals an upsized level of ambition for Piping Rock, right? But this story doesn't stop there…as Piping Rock continues to expand its presence in dietary supplements by “remixing” last year's M&A activity with The Clorox Company. Similarly, targeting a multibillion-dollar CPG conglomerate (with an identity crisis), it was recently announced that Church & Dwight (after concluding its strategic review) signed a definitive agreement to sell the VitaFusion and L'il Critters dietary supplement brands to Piping Rock. In closing, I'd expect Piping Rock to continue taking advantage of a growing trend of Big CPG divesting their dietary supplement brands, as this market momentum creates new opportunities for pure-play businesses to scale through buying established, reputable brands.

For Episode #186 of the PricePlow Podcast, we welcome back Marc Lobliner, who returns with major news: he's now President of Ketone Labs. Marc brings his signature energy and bold predictions to discuss why he believes goBHB will become bigger than creatine in the supplement industry. Since we last formally spoke with Marc on the podcast in October 2021 (Episode #053), he's not just launching products like the Outright Bar, but is taking the helm at Ketone Labs. This isn't just another business venture for Marc -- he's calling goBHB a "transformative ingredient" that will change everything from athletic performance to concussion prevention to overall health. Marc discusses the real-world applications he's implementing, including concussion protocols for his own kids in football and wrestling, the differences between D-BHB and L-BHB isomers, and why he believes healthier individuals experience more pronounced effects from ketone supplementation. He also shares candid insights about product development timelines, legal challenges in the supplement industry (including those infamous Prop 65 warnings), and his vision for making goBHB as ubiquitous as creatine. https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/marc-lobliner-gobhb-186 Video: Marc Lobliner on goBHB, Ketone Labs, and the Future of Supplements https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-US7QIKl7U Detailed Show Notes with Marc (0:00) – Welcome Back, Marc "The Machine" Lobliner (2:00) – Balancing Multiple Ventures (5:45) – Concussion Protocols for Young Athletes (8:45) – Safety Profile: No LD50 for BHB (10:00) – The One Three Butanediol Problem (12:15) – The Plan for goBHB: Clinical and Consumer Applications (15:00) – Product Applications Across Categories (18:00) – The Sleep Study Discovery (20:45) – Product Development Timelines in Supplements (23:45) – The Outright Bar Story: Lessons in Distribution (30:30) – Legal Landmines in the Supplement Industry (31:45) – The California Problem: Prop 65 and Beyond (34:25) – Media Bias and Heavy Metals Testing (36:30) – Major Studies with Dr. Jose Antonio (39:00) – White Glove Formulation Services (41:00) – D-BHB vs L-BHB: The Ketone Meter Paradox (44:45) – L-BHB and Cardiovascular Research (45:45) – The Anabolic Properties of BHB (49:30) – Why Healthier People Feel It More (50:15) – The Niacin Parallel (51:30) – Marc's Passion and Work-Life Balance (52:45) – Training Schedule and Competitive Future (55:00) – Formulating the Perfect BHB Powder (55:30) – What's Next: Supply Side and Beyond Where to Find Marc Lobliner and Ketone Labs Marc Lobliner on Twitter and Instagram: @MarcLobliner / @MarcLobliner Ketone Labs News on PricePlow: https://www.priceplow.com/ketone-labs Ketone Labs Instagram: @KetoneLabs Thanks for bringing your trademark energy to the podcast, Marc—we'll see ...

In this rerun of Doctales with Cocktails, Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh open with the refrain we've all heard—“safe and effective”—and ask whether corporate medicine is quietly redefining what “care” even means. The headliner: Pfizer's new “Pfizer for All” direct-to-consumer platform. Tim argues it's not healthcare—it's a sales funnel. Today it triages conditions that match Pfizer's catalog; tomorrow, he says, the costly human licensure bottleneck gets replaced by an “AI clinician” that nudges you to brand-name meds while you click through a waiver. Convenience wins, competition loses, and patients become customers in a closed loop.They jump to a free-speech eyebrow-raiser: a criminal probe in Germany over a social-media insult about a politician's weight. The point isn't to be crass; it's to ask where the line lands when governments police speech—and how quickly platforms and policy spill into medical discourse itself.Then comes the jaw-dropper: a major hospital allegedly lost a patient's skull flap after life-saving surgery—then billed him for the custom replacement. It's darkly comic until you remember it's someone's head. The takeaway is simple: systems built for billing and throughput don't always serve human beings.Finally, marketing meets medicine with Barbie-branded kids' vitamins and “bedtime essentials.” Are cleaner ingredients good? Sure. But the pink glass bottles, sticker sheets, and stacked subscriptions highlight a trend: solving lifestyle with labels and gummies instead of habits and food. As Tim & May sip Florida vodka and swap storm stories, the thread through every segment is the same—when profit drives the platform, patients need sharper BS detectors than ever.GET SOCIAL WITH US!

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on government scrutiny of Kratom.

What is Herbal Ecstasy—and why does it matter? This might be one of the most insane episodes we've ever recorded, and we had to bring it back because the story is too wild, too relevant, and too packed with real lessons in biohacking, brain optimization, and supplement hacking to miss. Host Dave Asprey sits down with Shaahin Cheyene, the renegade teenage entrepreneur who built a billion-dollar supplement empire before he could legally drink. As the creator of Herbal Ecstasy, Shaahin hacked natural compounds into high-performance nootropics that boosted energy, neuroplasticity, and metabolism—long before biohacking was a movement. He faced seven federal investigations, never spent a day in jail, and went on to pioneer the vaporizer industry and dominate Amazon with advanced supplement marketing.

Send us a textWelcome back to DMR “Untold: The Liver King,” directed by Joe Pearlman, is a gripping 68-minute episode from Netflix's Untold documentary series that dives into the rise and fall of Brian “Liver King” Johnson. Known for his primal lifestyle, raw organ-meat diet, and hyper-masculine branding, Johnson built a massive social media following and a supplement empire generating over $100 million annually. The documentary blends satire with introspection as it explores his extravagant persona—complete with meat feasts, caveman aesthetics, and dramatic horseback stunts—alongside his personal background and family dynamics. At the heart of the film is Johnson's shocking steroid scandal: after long denying performance-enhancing drug use, leaked emails and a public confession revealed he was spending over $11,000 a month on steroids and HGH. The film ultimately acts as both a cautionary tale about the dangers of influencer culture and health misinformation, and a character study of a man who, even after being exposed, remains a captivating and controversial figure. This has also now spilled into a very public battle between The Liver King & Joe Rogan, wild stuff!I also discuss my own peronal experience with the Carnivore Diet and what it did for me.Enjoy - DMRSupport the showThe audio clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.

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.

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.

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.
