In this episode, we look at the human research on ursolic acid supplements, including resistance training studies, muscle biopsy data, anabolic signaling, body fat changes, strength results, and possible side effects.

In thisepisode, I break down Consumer Reports’ article on supplements worth considering and supplements to avoid, including magnesium, vitamin D,probiotics, protein powders, kratom, green tea extract, and more. I’ll discuss supplement safety, contamination risks, dosing concerns, drug interactions, and why “natural” does not always mean safe.

    Can You Get Rhabdo From GLP-1 Meds Like Ozempic and Wegovy?

    Can you get rhabdomyolysis (rhabdo) from taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro(tirzepatide)? Here are the reports of people getting rhabdo after taking these medications, including how much they took, how high their creatine kinase level were, and what happened. Rhabdo after taking glucagon-like peptides appears to be rare but this is still a side effect people should be aware of. View the video below to see the reports yourself.
