From Greens Powders to Growth Hormones: Sorting Health Hype from Science
Ever feel like wellness advice is just a bunch of expensive green powders and influencers telling you to wake up at 4 AM? This episode with Kevin and Heather cuts through the noise! We’re talking real, practical health insights—like why movement matters more than step counts, how protein is your best friend as you age, and why DHEA is either a miracle supplement or a regulatory headache (depending on where you live). Plus, we’re calling out social media’s ridiculous wellness standards and giving you smarter, more personalized ways to stay fit, healthy, and sane—especially if you're juggling, well... life. From creatine and collagen to intermittent fasting and why "sitting is the new smoking," we break it all down with humor, honesty, and a healthy dose of reality.
