    Supplements That Actually Work (and the Ones to Avoid): My Thoughts on the Consumer Reports Article

    Nearly 60% of Americans take dietary supplements, but most people don’t know which ones are backed by real evidence and which may be ineffective or dangerous. In thisepisode, I break down Consumer Reports’ article on supplements worth considering and supplements to avoid, including magnesium, vitamin D,probiotics, protein powders, kratom, green tea extract, and more. I’ll discuss supplement safety, contamination risks, dosing concerns, drug interactions, and why “natural” does not always mean safe. I summarize the Consumer Reportsarticle titled “The Supplements That Could Actually Be Worth Trying” and give my opinions.

    Can You Get Rhabdo From GLP-1 Meds Like Ozempic and Wegovy?

    Can you get rhabdomyolysis (rhabdo) from taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro(tirzepatide)? Here are the reports of people getting rhabdo after taking these medications, including how much they took, how high their creatine kinase level were, and what happened. Rhabdo after taking glucagon-like peptides appears to be rare but this is still a side effect people should be aware of.

    View the video below to see the reports yourself.

    Copper Peptides & Hair Growth. This Is What I Discovered

Today I want to circle back and look at that research again. Someone had informed me that there are 2 human studies showing that topical copper peptides can grow hair back. So I went down the rabbit hole to find the answers. This is what I discovered
