  • Summary

  • Episode Summary:

    We’re back (again)! After a *slightly* longer-than-planned break, we are hitting the podcast waves again. Welcome to the shiny, rebranded *Optimised Health Show!* This time, we’re on a mission: consistency and no-fluff health advice. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the supplement industry’s shadiest secrets. Ready? Let’s go!

    What We Got Into:

    1. Our Rebrand Story:

    • We’re back, renamed, and fired up. Say goodbye to *Healthy Living with the Laws* and hello to *The Optimised Health Show!* Same us, different name.

    2. Life Lately:

    • Moved from sunny Ibiza back to the UK. Goodbye endless summer, hello Amazon Prime deliveries and very British weather.

    3. The Supplement Industry’s Dark Side:

    • Dodgy Regulations: Did you know supplements are classified as food, not medicine? Wild, right?
    • Quality Horror Stories: Fake ingredients, useless dosages, and shady production practices.
    • Testing Matters: Why you should demand Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) to ensure what’s on the label is in the bottle.
    • Sneaky Marketing: From “miracle” claims to sketchy proprietary blends — it’s buyer beware out there!

    4. How to Protect Your Health:

    • Read the Fine Print: Look for brands with third-party testing.
    • Skip the Junk: Say no to fillers and bulking agents.
    • Fish Oil Alert: If it’s oxidized, it’s toxic. Gross.
    • Get Personal: Tailor supplements to your health needs — your DNA might thank you.

    5. Our Insider Tips:

    • Ben spills trade secrets from running a supplement brand.
    • Sarah shares expert nutrition tips, including what to take (and what to toss).
