Hey everyone, I wanted to share my transformation for anyone who’s just starting their fitness journey. I was that New Year’s resolution guy when I began. I still love seeing new faces in the gym every January because it reminds me of my own humble beginnings, and I’m always happy to help newcomers when I can. When I started, I was 6'4" and around 150 lbs, so putting on size meant I had to take eating seriously. I began training with a simple PPL split 3x per week, and over the years, I have gradually worked my way up to 5–6 sessions per week, sometimes even training daily. Along the way, lifting stopped being a chore and became a real passion. I love moving my body and trying out new variations of exercises. That’s what made it sustainable for me. On the nutrition side, I tracked calories and macros using an app and a food scale for several weeks so I could truly understand how much I was eating. My early rule of thumb was: ~500 calories above maintenance ~1g of protein per pound of bodyweight That approach made a massive difference. Supplements I used (and still use): Creatine Protein powder Omega-3 fish oil Daily multivitamin For full transparency: I did start TRT at age 30, which I know contributed to some of the muscle I’ve gained in more recent years. I’m currently on 50 mg per week, and I wanted to be upfront about that. Over the past year, I’ve dialed back the intensity of pure weight training and added more cardio. My current sessions look like: ~1 hour of weights 20–40 minutes of cardio PPL split ~4 days per week Current training structure: Push: 2 chest, 2 shoulders (front & side), 2–3 triceps (my favorite 😄) Pull: 2 back, 2 rear delts, 2–3 biceps Legs: split into two days Hamstrings & glutes Quads & calves (~4 exercises per leg session) At my heaviest, I hit 240 lbs last year. After cutting, I’m now sitting around 220 lbs, which feels much more comfortable (especially without a shirt on lol). These days, my goal is simply maintenance. I love food (and I work in a bakery) so staying perfectly disciplined in the kitchen isn’t always easy. But what I sometimes lack in dietary discipline, I make up for with consistency in the gym. If you’re just starting out: stay patient, stay consistent, and don’t be too hard on yourself. You got this. 👊 submitted by /u/baraboyfrend to r/GYM [link] [comments]

Hey everyone! 👋 I’ve been trying to improve my overall health and energy levels, & I’m curious about what dietary supplements most of you take regularly. Do you take things like Omega-3, Vitamin D, B-complex, collagen, magnesium, or probiotics? Would love to know: • What you take • Why you started • Whether you’ve actually felt any difference I’m trying to build a consistent wellness routine, so any personal experiences or doctor recommendations would be super helpful! 💊✨ submitted by /u/Good-Philosopher5775 to r/ThirtiesIndia [link] [comments]

This study on ruminant animals found that the dietary supplement monolaurin was able to reduce archaea in their intestines by 90%. Archaea are the organisms responsible for methane-predominant SIBO, so possibly monolaurin could be a good alternative to allicin for treating methane SIBO. Or possibly monolaurin could be added to allicin, to make a more effect treatment for methane SIBO. The most famous brand of monolaurin is Lauricidin, but there are other brands also. The typical monolaurin dose is 3000 mg, according to the Lauricidin label. A tub of Lauricidin containing 75 X 3000 mg doses costs around $40. Note that it is common for people to experience Herx-type symptoms when starting monolaurin, so the usual advice is to start with lower doses for the first few days, for example a quarter of the full dose. Possibly coconut oil might substitute for monolaurin, but it is not known for certain. Coconut oil contains around 50% lauric acid, and it is estimated around 3% of ingested lauric acid from coconut oil is converted into monolaurin in the digestive tract, by enzymes like lipase, according to this study. So coconut oil might be a cheaper substitute for monolaurin. But just how much monolaurin is actually created from ingested coconut oil is not known. So taking a monolaurin supplement may be a more reliable option. submitted by /u/Hip_III to r/SIBO [link] [comments]

Hello frens I started eating whole habanero peppers a few years back and quickly got addicted to the burn. I have used them as a sort of medicine and if you looks into the studies done on capsacian and the effects on the human body its really profound. I feels the same similar way about cocoa, but that's a story for a different day. In short, there is a chemical our body produces called substance p, and it is directly releated to pain. Our bodies contain a finite amount of this neurotransmitter or chemical... and rightfully so... just like everything else really. Well a boatload gets released when we eat something very spicy. Endorphins follow too which of course naturally feel good. But substance p takes a while to build back up. Also tolerance to capsaicin is a thing as well. One day I took a habanero pepper and ate it before a leg workout. Something like 30 minutes before. At this point I ate a habanero every other day, it was a real enjoyment. Something occured to me during this workout, which being legs, is notoriously fucking gut wrenching. That overwhelmed feeling didn't come on as strong. It was noticeably more tolerable. The workout was intense as any, but I seemed to weather it significantly better. Eating a very spicy pepper before you workout is something I encourage you all to do. If just one person trys this out you will see a big difference. I do not do it every time, on occasion, particularly if I feel not 100% as is. I hope to be manufacturing a supplement with capsaicin in it at varying levels and i hope it catches on. For now, all natural, habanero peppers (deep dark red color with deep ridges are the most spicy and not always available). Goodbye for now frens ~ submitted by /u/SpicyHabarnero to r/spicy [link] [comments]

This is my sister’s story. Earlier last year I bought a puppy, some kind of walking mop. Cute as heck. The seller warned me that it had very specific dietary requirements. Honestly, the last thing I wanted to do on my time off was to make dog food, so I approached a woman, recommended by my local pet shop, to make two weeks worth of food. She uses very cheap cuts, grains, and supplements specifically formulated for dogs. I pick up the individually packaged bags every second Monday morning and keep them in a plastic container labelled with my name in the community fridge, then take it home after work. It doesn’t take up much room. Awhile ago I noticed that some of the bags began going missing, then found the empties in the waste bin. They are marked DF with the date in black sharpie. I immediately knew what was going on and thought it was funny. Luckily my mother is in love with doggo mop-face and when she dogsits, around three times a week, she feeds her, so puppers never goes hungry. So I let it go on, occasionally complaining to HR and colleagues about my “specialty food” being stolen. Other than a sternly worded email nothing was ever done. Finally, during our six month productivity meeting I loudly complained that my bags of dog food were still going missing on the regular, because now I actually was getting pissed at the blatant theft. Two young guys gave me horrified looks. Neither of them ever fessed up to the pilfering, but since that meeting my dog food has never gone missing. My close office colleague thought it was funny, but said I was a real AH for allowing it to go on for so long. So, AITAH? At least I know it must taste alright. And maybe I’m imagining it, but their hair does seem shinier. Update: I hope this is the correct way to do this. Wow, this kind of blew up. Wasn’t expecting it at all. To answer some questions This is a very small niche company, around 80 people total. Thirty are on the road going to sites, the rest stay in the office. The two guys suspected of pilfering make well over six figures. So those concerned about them having to steal to eat, it’s very unlikely. Dog food is prepared by a lady in her own home, she packages each portion in a freezer bag and marks each bag with DF and the date, ex, 01/11/24. All portions are placed in a see-thru plastic box and has my name on the lid and two sides. It’s picked up at 5:30 am on my way to work, spends the day in the fridge, then taken home when I leave for the day. Typically four bags started to go missing on the regular. I do not leave it at work for two weeks. Mop Face is allergic to liver, pork and corn. There are some spices in the food, turmeric and garlic (to name a couple) recommended by the vet. There are also some oils and vitamins specific to doggo’s needs. I admit to being amused every second Monday when I noticed the missing bags. Sorry for my petty immaturity. I also replay the meeting in my head and chuckle. It was worth the money I was out. Update Number Two For everyone freaking out about the garlic issue, Mop Face was recommended garlic by a vet. In fact, since eating her special diet, which includes garlic, she is doing much, much, much better. The fact of the matter is that garlic is actually good for dogs. There is no scientific research showing adverse affects from consuming it. https://www.volharddognutrition.com/blog/busting-the-myth-of-garlic-toxicity-for-dogs/?srsltid=AfmBOoptM_v59KTLKkiU0219kjlDxovxg4XLy7fHj9H8r8vniW0nVQW- submitted by /u/My_Name_Is_Amos to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

I am NOT the Original Poster. That is u/0587throwaway. He posted in r/AmItheAsshole I recommend reading the trigger warnings on this one Trigger Warning: death; cancer; hostile work environment; body shaming Mood Spoiler: fucking sad This was previously posted by u/Bex2097 in BORU 2 years ago. u/Erzsabet requested this repost. Original Post: January 6, 2021 I (24M) am a small man. 5’4 and 103 lbs as of my last physical. I’m well aware I’m at an unhealthy weight. My entire life I’ve been small- mostly due to illnesses and myriad allergies- and it’s admittedly a sore spot. I am working with my doctor to gain weight while still fitting in with my dietary restrictions (no meat, dairy, gluten, or nuts) and honestly I’m so much better than I was a several months ago and proud of myself for the progress I’ve made. A coworker (Peg, 30~F) got pregnant and recently returned to work late Nov. She’s been increasingly overt and uncomfortable in her concern for me. Peg made and brought in cupcakes for her return, and when I thanked her for thinking of us but refused, citing my gluten allergy, she was visibly upset. She didn’t shout or complain much, just sighed heavily and said that she would put this one in the break room with the rest. I felt awful. Then, she brought me a steak sandwich the next day, on gluten free bread. Again I thanked her, but I had brought in my own lunch and needed to focus on that. Peg told me it was in the fridge for when I finished. Ended up bringing it home so she wouldn’t feel bad and gave it to my BF. Next day, she approached again. I refused again. She insisted. By now we weren’t alone in the break room. She joked that it was rude to refuse a home cooked meal in favor of “that” (my lunch). At that point I just took it and thanked her. BF ended up eating it. Then she just started leaving bagged snacks on my desk. She would approach with a snack or a portion of whatever she made for dinner the night before, and not leave me be until I had taken it. I went to our boss and explained that I felt uncomfortable and was told that she was probably feeling maternal and it would negatively impact morale to discourage her. So, been taking notes since then, what days Peg has given what, when, who witnessed it, etc. From 12/8 to now she’s done it 23 times. Yesterday I took Peg aside and explained that while I was touched, I would appreciate if she wouldn’t bring in anything else. She said that I should have said something sooner, she was only trying to help, have I seen myself in a mirror, does your boyfriend like you starving yourself? Among other phrases. Livid, I told her that maybe I didn’t feel like sharing my personal medical history with her just so that my wishes were respected. “For God’s sake we work with a hospital, don’t you know anything about HIPAA?” We parted from there, me childishly storming off and her in tears. Have I already been a huge ass and would a report to HR just be the icing on the asscake? EDIT: To address a few commonly raised points... I said “No thank you”, repeatedly, to her face when she gave the food. She in turn would refuse to leave my desk or to stop talking to me, in the break room or halls, until I took it. She returned to work late November (before Thanksgiving) and started this behavior almost immediately. I waited until 12/8 to speak with our boss (who is a woman, if that matters) and only then started counting the incidents. She is also no longer pregnant, rather I should have said that she returned from maternity leave. EDIT2 (1/8): I’m aware I misused HIPAA but was referencing it in the context that she should know better than to pry into medical history to satisfy her curiosity. Also I wasn’t thinking clearly when I said that to her. OOP is voted NTA Update Post 1: January 8, 2021 (2 days later) Honestly, I’ve never more immediately regretted something. This exploded. Spectacularly. I went to HR, saying that the matter was settled, but I wanted it documented; subsequently was told that there would be an investigation and the incidents would be corroborated with witnesses, because as is the full record I claim is “severe enough to warrant potential action” for Pey and several other coworkers who also engaged in her behavior. HR started the process, apparently immediately, because I walked in yesterday to a shitstorm. This plunged the department into civil war. Many agree Peg was out of line, some told me I should’ve kept the status quo, some said I was ungrateful and entitled. One said I should have handled this “maturely” and “who could blame her” when I look “like that”, and I should be ashamed of myself. Another coworker suggested I work from home. Another told me he was sorry for not stepping in. I went to go get my lunch out of the fridge only to find someone had disposed of it and left behind the empty Tupperware. Nearly everyone has an opinion. The people in my corner have advised me to keep my head down and to take care. My boss held a meeting, first with Peg and me, then a second with just me. During the one with Peg, I was told to apologize for my part and Peg likewise. (“I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable by caring about your health.”). My boss asked if I was “satisfied now”. I brought up Peg’s comments and my boss said I invited them, no one would call that harassment, and I need to work on myself. Together we went through each of the 23 events. She excused each of them until I was left to feel like I‘d been harassing Peg. The next meeting was even worse. Effectively Boss said, “I told you not to retaliate and instead you searched Peg out to harass her” and “your actions have expressed a worrying lack of cooperation with me and your team.” She was also disappointed that instead of explaining that I needed her to resolve things, I “escalated the situation well beyond the point of reason” and cruel to someone who only wanted to help. She said I won’t get far in life and I’m not likely to get anywhere vocationally if I can’t be a team player and “actively sabotage a happy workplace”. She hoped I will learn from this “teachable moment” how to behave in a collaborative environment as it’s inappropriate to involve HR for “small misunderstandings”. BF is spitting mad. I’m just... tired, confused and hurt. HR seemed sympathetic. Boss is very clearly on Peg’s side. The office is split and tense. Currently updating my resume and job searching. It really does feel like a nightmare. Haven’t felt good going in to work for a while, and this just made it times worse. Relevant Comment: Yes. See another post on my profile for further details as well. Also might be worth adding that we have worked together for two years prior to this. The entire department is aware of the fact I have numerous allergies that severely restrict my diet. My boss and everyone above her is aware of my other medical conditions additionally. TL;DR- she knew I had allergies, she constantly brought me food I would have a reaction to if I ingested OR came into contact with. One last thought: Commenter: Isn't it weird that your colleagues that already know about your food allergies (a good number of them) not reacting when you are offered allergy laden food? It doesn't make sense that they already know but are not even moderately reacting to it. Food allergies can kill, and them not doing anything is ridiculous, especially when this involves a good number of people. OOP: Incredibly. As you can see, the office is terribly concerned for my health. Clarifying Post: January 8, 2021 (Same Day) Editor's Note: This is a long post and mostly clarifies and expands upon interactions with Peg. The next post has the final update. OOP clarified that all of the initials are initials for his coworkers/boss. Peg’s name changed. 12/8 - Peg approached with a pack of almonds. CN was nearby but did not get involved. I told her “I can’t have those and don’t want them, but thank you for thinking of me.” Approached EP straight after. Her response was that Peg was “probably feeling maternal” and it would “negatively impact morale to discourage her”. Peg approached after lunch (2:00pm~) asking if I wanted a coffee. No one around. I said refused. She said she had gotten a free coffee and asked me to take it off her hands. I said I didn’t want the coffee. She left it on my desk. Threw it out in the breakroom. 12/9 - Peg and CC ordered take out from [diner]. She offered an order of fries and a chicken salad, saying she knew I “need the protein” and fries “brighten anyone’s day”. I refused and she said “But I bought this for you.” I apologized and said I already had my lunch and didn’t ask her to. She said that I “need to eat more than rabbit food.” CC added that “it would warm me up”. I refused again and said I was more than happy with my lunch and didn’t intend on changing my meal. CC told me to “back off, [OP], it’s just a salad.” I apologized for being short but I really was happy with my lunch. Peg and CC left and took the food with them. 12/10 - 7:50am. Coffee. Refused. Peg insisted. Refused again. She insisted again. Refused again. She insisted again. Just took the coffee to get her to leave me alone. Thrown out in the break room. 12/11 - A handful of hershey kisses on my desk after 9:30am meeting. Two packages of almonds on my desk after going to the bathroom at approximately 1pm. 12/14 - At 11am, Peg placed a tupperware of rice on the table in front of me in the breakroom. CN, CC, DP, and KG were all there. She told me rice would “add substance” to my lunch. I said “Thank you, but this is enough”. People were staring and she wouldn’t back down, standing directly in front of the table. I told her to take it back. She sighed and did. The break room was silent. I left to return to my desk. 12/15 - Peg approached with salt and vinegar chips and a coffee with soy milk as soon as she walked in (8:00am). DP was there, but didn’t get involved, as was KG and EK. I said “no thank you, but I’ll reimburse you the cost”. She said the real repayment would be for me to take what she gives me “without fussing”. I said I don’t want it and never asked her for this. She responded “And that’s why it’s a gift. Bon appetit!” KG suggested maybe waiting to be asked before buying someone a coffee and Peg said that “ruined the surprise”. EK added that “not everyone likes surprises”. Peg rolled her eyes and stood waiting for me to take the drink. When I didn’t, she put it on my desk. I gave the coffee and chips to EK after she left. 12/16 - Came back from a meeting at 10:30~am to a donut and croissant and hashbrowns on my desk. I approached her with the bag and asked if she put this on my desk. DP was there. Peg said “You’re welcome” and I told her I “won’t eat this, so take it back”. DP said I should eat it, stating I “need to be fattened up” and could use “a couple dozen pounds”. Mortified, I left to go back to my desk. 12/17 - In the breakroom at 1:00pm, Peg tried to give me a ramen cup to “supplement” my “snack” - in reference to my lunch. I said no. She asked if it would kill me to be nicer. I said “No, but the ramen might” and left. 12/18 - Peg tried to give me a coffee at 7:40am at my cubicle and stood there even after I said no. She proceeded to ask why I never ate. I said I eat, I just don’t eat food given to me. I made a point to say it wasn’t personal, I just only eat what I bring in for myself. She said “That’s sad,” and I needed to “loosen up”. EK walked by and greeted us both and Peg left, leaving the coffee behind. Thrown out in the break room. 12/21 - Peg brought in a store bought cake and put it in the break room. At 3pm she said she noticed I “nearly missed out” but “luckily” she saved some for me. I said I didn’t want the cake, or else I would have gotten myself some. She told me to “have a cheat day” and left the cake on my desk. I returned the slice to the break room and tossed it out. 12/22 - Peg placed a bag of chocolate coins on my desk after noon. I told her to take them back. She asked “Who doesn’t want chocolate?” I said “Me” and she said “Maybe BF would like them.” I followed her to her cubicle and gave them back. She rolled her eyes and scoffed but didn’t further push. 12/23 - Peg approached me around 10:15am in the hallway with a package of homemade cookies. I said no thanks, but I appreciated her trying to be festive. I wished her a Merry Christmas and continued walking. Peg approached again in the breakroom at noon. CN and PP were also there. She asked if I wanted her to drop off the cookies at my desk. I said no, I already said I didn’t want them. CN said that they were “super delicious” and that Peg “even bothered with the gluten thing”. PP suggested I could bring them home to BF so it didn’t go to waste. I said “No, thank you” and left to go back to my desk. After a meeting (2:30pm) I came back to cookies on my desk and a note saying “Merry Xmas!” Thrown away in the breakroom. 12/28 - Peg approached me in the breakroom at noon and asked if I “ever eat anything fun”. I tried to ignore her but she tapped on the table until I said I enjoy what I bring in. She gave me a chocolate orange and a pediasure, saying “You can’t be dieting over the holidays.” Threw out both as soon as she left. 12/29 - At 4:30pm, Peg approached me at the time clock with a pair of granola bars and tried to get me to take them. I said no and said I needed to punch out. She wouldn’t move until I took the bars. 12/30 - Grablox? Lox? I said I didn’t want it, and Peg spoke over me, explaining it as fermented fish with dill. I told her that was “very interesting” but I still didn’t want her offering me food. CN was there, but did not get involved. CC said, “Wow,” in an incredulous tone but didn’t further react. 3:00pm Peg tried to give me a donut and a latte. When I refused she just placed it on my desk. I gave both to EK. 12/31 - Peg tried to give me a batch of fudge. She only offered the chocolate variety but she also had made chocolate walnut and peanut butter variants and not only did I not want them, I did not trust that she was careful enough with cross-contamination. I said as much to her. She was affronted that I would call her “dirty” and I explained that it has “nothing to do with cleanliness” and everything to do with preparation, tools and surfaces. She sarcastically wished me a happy New Year and left. 1/4/2021 - A tin of assorted chocolates left on my desk, presumably after I left as they were there at 6:00am and I am the first person into the office. Left in the breakroom as they were sealed. 1/5/2021 - Peg approached with a tupperware container at 8:00 when she walked in. I said no, she told me I needed to be less picky. I told her that I appreciated her caring but I already had my own lunch, so please stop. She told me then I could have it for dinner and put it on my desk. When I tried to hand it back to her, she put her hands up and said “no give backs”. Returned to communal fridge. 5:30pm~ spoke with Peg concerning the food, no one around. I said I have been patient and understanding that she cares but I was not happy about my refusals being ignored, the comments about my food and body, and wished she would stop bringing me food. She said I should have said something sooner, and I pointed out that I had, repeatedly. She said “I’m only trying to help” and “haven’t you looked in a mirror recently?” I said that was horribly rude. She asked “Does BF like you starving yourself? Even gay mean prefer meat.” I said that any diet I was on and what I ate wasn’t any of her business. She said “Clearly you can’t feed yourself.” I said she should “focus on yourself and your kid and stop bothering me.” I left the conversation then and drove home. Relevant Comment: Save for the changed names, this is nearly what HR received on top of a verbal meeting. Lawyer up: Thank you. Will do so. Working with a family friend who is a lawyer. She works in family court but has so far been invaluable in finding resources. Allergies: For what it’s worth boss and upper management are aware of my allergies. (downvoted comment) What's the worst that happens if you take this stuff home? Itchy and raw hands, tearmoons. Allergies are more than simply ingesting the substance. This is the last I will address to you on this matter. Final thoughts: I did not tell reddit about the full scope of my conditions. As it is, Reddit and Peg both have a similar understanding of my health- I am underweight, have several allergies, and other health conditions I do not feel like elaborating on. Final Update Post: January 25, 2022 (Just over 1 year later) It's been a long time since I even thought about this account. The 1 year anniversary of its creation passed not too long ago. When Ben mentioned having gone to reddit about "Peg", I somewhat dismissed that as useful and kept on supporting him in the real world. Life goes on. I happened to check his email recently and saw the notification of the anniversary, & a few folks looking for an update. He had given me the password a while back and open permission to check out what people were saying. I read up recently. Most of the comments and advice and well wishes were sweet. Others were harsher as they gave their take. Many people wanted an update. Over 30+ people messaged him. My husband Ben passed on August 21st 2021 from complications of esophageal cancer. He was diagnosed in early May. We married a few weeks after, basically just the legal portion of it and a romantic dinner to mark the occasion. He promised me a wedding with the whole kit and caboodle for after he beat cancer. I think we both knew better, even then, but pretending and planning gave us something to look forward to and focus on instead of his sickness. It took him very quickly. Ben's boss was first suspended, then let go. So was Peg and a few others who collaborated with her. Ben received a settlement from the owner of the hospital and an admittedly generic apology for how everything was handled. I'd put money on the fact it just got too big to ignore, with too much being exposed and people speaking up. The boss's reaction ((the meetings, removing Ben from group work emails and project updates, not responding to calls or emails and refusing meetings, all of which was documented by the automated message saying his emails were deleted without opening, even taking his work when he sent it to her for review and presenting it as someone else's)) & Peg's behavior ((sending out mass texts to others in the office about a hypothetical situation about an ungrateful friend forcing her to cook for him but then not eating it, or the group emails spanning months before things went down, discussing Ben's food & how he just has no taste because he wouldn't take what Peg offered. The exact phrasing was lewd, more than just food was implied)) Ben's new boss was accommodating of his medical leave when the time came, promised that he'd have his job back when he returned. His medical bills were covered partially by the owner and a collection from some of his coworkers & our friends, but there was a huge chunk we still had to pay. I had to file a restraining order against Peg after her firing as she continued to try to contact us and stalk Ben especially. Sorry this update isn't comprehensive. I just feel he would have wanted to put a bow on things & give an ending. Thanks to everyone who was kind to him, it meant a lot. submitted by /u/LucyAriaRose to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

7oz for $7.99. Found this while walking around the supplement aisle. I’ve never tried collagen before so I can’t compare to other brands. I only used this in smoothies and it’s not noticeable at all. I was expecting the powder to have an odd smell since it’s unflavored but it doesn’t. Seems pretty good for the price! submitted by /u/Urban_Introvert to r/traderjoes [link] [comments]

Botanical dietary supplements, sometimes called herbals or herbal dietary supplements, and essential oils are products made from plants, plant parts, or plant extracts. One study found that natural products, including botanical dietary supplements, are used by approximately 15% of adults and are widely available in the United States. In fact, according to the American Botanical Council, Americans spent a total of $8.8 billion on botanical dietary supplements in 2018. But, just because a product is from a plant source and sold in stores or online, doesntt mean it's safe. The safety of a botanical or essential oil depends on many things, such as its chemical makeup, how it works in the body, how it is prepared, and the dose used. The amount of scientific evidence available for various botanical supplement ingredients varies widely, in part, because product safety is not tested by FDA and federal law does not require dietary supplements be tested for effectiveness before they are marketed. Studying the potential effects of botanical dietary supplements has several unique challenges. For example, all botanical dietary supplements contain a complex mixture of ingredients, making it difficult to identify and link active ingredients to health effects. Growing, harvesting, and processing conditions can also affect the chemical makeup of a botanical supplement, leading to challenges in manufacturing identical products batch after batch. Possible contaminants - either accidental or intentional via adulteration - in botanical dietary supplements (e.g. heavy metals, microbes, undeclared ingredients, or pesticides) needs to be determined as part of routine quality control since these can affect its safety. Our hosts today are all experts on studying the quality, safety, and/or efficacy of botanical dietary supplements and essential oils to better understand how to use them more safely and effectively. Stefan Gafner, Ph.D., is the Chief Science Officer at the American Botanical Council (ABC). He answers many of the inquiries from ABC members, in particular those relating to quality control and analytical methods. As technical director of the Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program (BAPP), he writes and/or edits the Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program publications and ensures the accuracy of the content published by the Program. Stefan grew up in Switzerland, and, on rare occasions, you may actually hear him yodel (or at least trying to). D. Craig Hopp, Ph.D., is the Deputy Director of the Division of Extramural Research at the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Here, he manages several large-scale projects such as research centers focused on drug-natural product interactions and centers focused on improved natural product technologies. He also provides scientific leadership in the NCCIH research portfolio on the biological activities of natural products, including studies in preclinical models for a wide variety of potential clinical indications. Craig is an avid DIY-er who has completed several major renovations around his home and handles all his own automotive repairs. Adam Kuszak, Ph.D., is a Health Scientist Administrator in the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) at NIH and Director of the ODS Analytical Methods and Reference Materials Program (AMRM). Through AMRM, Dr. Kuszak works to support scientific resource development and promote biomedical research on the mechanisms and health effects of dietary supplements and natural products. In his free time, Adam has a passion for exploring the world through photography, and for world-building through modeling. Tyler Ramsey, B.S., is a second-year medical school student at Campbell University School of Osteopathic Medicine and a former postbaccalaureate research fellow at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), also part of NIH. His research looks at essential oil components and their potential link to breast growth in young boys and girls (i.e. prepubertal gynecomastia and premature thelarche). Tyler is the vice president of his medical school and enjoys spending his free time in the gym or taking a walk with his 3-year old golden retriever. Cynthia Rider, Ph.D., is a toxicologist in the Toxicology Branch of the National Toxicology Program (NTP), headquartered at NIEHS. In this role, she leads an effort to characterize the effects of botanical dietary supplements studied in NTP's testing program. NTP conducts toxicology studies in animal models to understand what happens once the supplement enters the body. Cynthia spent her formative years on a tiny Pacific Island, Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands, which is currently threatened by global warming and rising sea levels.
