Welcome to the flexible dotting lifestyle podcast.

I'm your host, Zach Rushlow.

I'm with my co-host, Miguel Balcoutts.

And today we are talking about supplementation, something that is

given way too much power in this health world, this, this, this, literally in the world of people

trying to improve their health, it's literally, I'm going to be frank, it's ass backwards.

We think that if I take this supplement, it's going to lead to me getting the result. I want when it's the complete opposite.

And I'm not saying that there's some supplements. I am saying there are some supplements that

you guys should be taking just to fill in the gaps. But that's the moral of the story. You're filling in

the gaps. And for me, I am not a supplement expert. Miguel is very well versed in the supplement

industry and very well versed in the supplement research. And so he's going to be leading the show.

I'm going to be chiming in here and there. He's going to be talking a lot. So I'm not going to let him talk just yet. But before we begin the

actual episode, I need you guys to screenshot, put it up on your Instagram story, tag us. And we will

thank you guys. We appreciate it so much. And then also five-star reviews on iTunes, they are rocking and rolling. We appreciate

you guys. Miguel, let's not waste any more time. What do we need to know? Well, first off, let's get

the definition of supplements and then how are they regulated and how do we know if this is a safe

supplement to take. Cool. Awesome. First question. So the thing about supplements is that

they can be categorized into two different categories and depending on the category,

they will be regulated differently. If something is categorized into being part of the diet,

if you categorize something as just being, you know, part of just a regular

diet in a form that you would somehow take just as part of your regular life, then that has to get

approved by the USDA. It has to go strict regulation. You have to prove that it's not harmful.
