Le Cordon Bleu-trained. Fifteen years cooking in private estate kitchens in Los Angeles — daily service for people whose job performance depends on how they feel. Licensed strength coach and personal trainer. Internationally licensed massage therapist. Thirty years of strength training. That combination is why the supplement guide has a food-first field on every single entry. I came at this from the kitchen, not the lab. Where a nutrient is available from food at a meaningful dose, that is nearly always the better route. My first cookbook came out in 2013.

Four things get treated as separate problems by four different people who never talk to each other: what you eat, how you train, how you recover, and what you swallow. They are one system. Everything here comes from that view. DO THESE FIVE THINGS 1. Read The Overhyped Ten. It’s free, it’s in the classroom, and it takes about fifteen minutes. Ten supplements the industry sells hard and what the research actually shows. Start there — it’s the fastest way to see how I grade things, and it costs you nothing. 2. Get the Skool app on your phone. The classroom reads properly on it and you’ll actually see replies. 3. Have a look at the three paid courses. They’re the three books, restructured so you can find things: the supplement guide, the performance system, and the cookbook. Buy one or none — the free course is not bait. 4. Comment below. Tell me: - Your name and roughly where you are - What you train, and how often - The one thing about your food, sleep or supplements you’d most like sorted I read every one of these and I answer them. 5. Set up your profile. Add a photo. It makes the group feel like a room rather than a feed. WHAT THIS GROUP IS NOT It’s not a coaching program and I’m not going to write you a protocol. I’d rather you understood the reasoning well enough to argue with me about it. TWO RULES No selling — not in posts, not in DMs. And if something is working for you, say so. The whole point of a group is that you don’t each have to find out the hard way. ONE ASK When you post a question, say what you’re actually trying to solve, not just which compound you’re asking about. “Is magnesium worth it” is hard to answer. “I wake at 3am most nights and I train five days a week” is easy to answer.
