154: Expensive urine, or total game-changer?

by Dr. Steven Gundry | May 7, 2021 | 1 comment

When it comes to supplements, I’m a HUGE nerd. In fact, I use dozens of supplements every single day – and they have a major impact on the way I look and feel.

But the truth is, it wasn’t always that way.

In fact, I used to joke that supplements only made for expensive urine.

And while I’ve changed my opinion — it’s TRUE that not all supplements are created equal.

Unfortunately, some of the supplements you’ll find on store shelves aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.

Which is why high-quality supplements are so important — they can have a DRAMATIC effect on your health and longevity and are WELL worth the time and money.

But how do you decipher between a supplement that will do what it says on the label and one that’s completely bogus?

Well, my guest is here to help. He’s Hector Lopez, a physician-scientist with a uniquely diverse background in sports medicine, exercise science, nutritional biochemistry and clinical research.

Dr. Lopez co-owns and directs an integrated “Triad” of B2B companies within the dietary supplement, functional foods and medical foods spaces.

And on today’s episode, he and I reveal the shocking truth about many of the supplements on the market, share insider tips for choosing the highest-quality options, and discuss the amazing new compound discovered by Dr. Lopez himself that can help YOU boost your energy and help you lead a longer, happier life.
