0:00.0	Ask not what your supplement can do for you, but what you can do for your supplement.
0:04.1	I'm the supplement guy, and I'm going to tell you that you don't need supplements.
0:07.6	The supplements are the training wheels.
0:10.8	They're showing your body how to do the things.
0:13.6	If the supplement industry had a consciousness, it would say, sell more, take more, and just keep going.
0:19.8	You're kind of going against the grain.

1:08.8	I bet they're very resilient. When you're hypervigilant
1:11.8	consistently, there's almost no resilience. You're right on the edge all the time. You're maxed out.
1:17.7	There's a fallacy there. I think it's tied to identity. How much of dis-ease or over-supplementation
