There is no FDA requirement for supplements, which means we can make money. The dietary health act of 2012 essentially gave power back to the supplement companies. They should have to prove that it's safe before they put it on the market. If most of the supplements are garbage, then we eat healthy. But not everybody is in a socioeconomic situation where they can bankroll a fresh and healthy diet.
What are the top myths in the health and fitness industry? Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly explore pseudoscience, “quick fix” fads like Ozempic, and how to navigate wellness with exercise scientist, Dr. Nick Tiller.
