051: Supplements Fakes & Frauds - Former FDA Special Agent Gary Collins

How to Avoid Counterfeit, Cheap & Dangerous Supplements

After decades of experience in military intelligence, the U.S. State Department, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a Special Agent, Gary Collins of Primal Power Method has a lot of opinions about supplements.

Gary joins us to blow the lid off of conventional "wellness" practices, and tells us what to avoid - and what to look for - when buying supplements.

What We Talk About:

- Bad vs. good vitamins and supplements – quickest ways to know

- What to never do when buying supplements - What's wrong with buying online? – and how to do it right

- Network marketing/MLMs (multi-level marketing) and the wellness world [spoiler alert: he's not a fan]

- Why your local health food store should be your new best friend

- What to look for to know that you're buying the real deal
