In this episode, I sit down with Dr. William Wallace, a clinical researcher and industry leader in the supplement and health optimization space. We talk about the truth behind supplement research, how to critically interpret lab results, what your hydration might be doing to your cortisol levels, and the real story behind NAD shots, nicotine for fat loss, and hormonal optimization. This is a deep dive into micronutrient science, metabolic health, and responsible supplementation.
