Thank goodness the World Health Organization has officially made “burnout” a medical diagnosis. Just in time for me, as I think I have a touch of that. Long story short, I’m not myself, and was going to pause on the blog article for this week. I’m not a quitter, though, so I am ranting. I …

I’m always trying to come up with new analogies and teaching tools to help people understand the insanely complex world of dietary supplements, vitamins, and other natural products. The first truth I teach is just that: buying supplements is WAY more complex than we think. We really need to take a break from our usual …
Supplement regulations are not what we think they are. There is no one group or organization that checks products before they hit the market.
