Figuring out which supplements work, and which ones are a waste of time and money became my life long personal quest. Because of my success as a bodybuilder, I was fortunate enough to have a trainer that had a PhD from Duke University in nutrition. He opened my eyes to the plethora of supplement scams that were on the market. Endless pages in mind, body and fitness magazines advertising supplements that were packed full of nothing! So many products were drastically underdosed, had the wrong combinations of ingredients and even worse, contained truckloads of caffeine. So many inexperienced people jump into the supplement industry trying to make a fast buck, and they know next to nothing about health, fitness, nutrition, cognitive enhancement, and high quality supplement ingredients that actually work; these people simply have no business being in this business!

I eventually retired from competitive bodybuilding,  and found myself hosting national fitness infomercials, as well as selling various fitness products on QVC…what a trip!   My passion for health, fitness, cognitive enhancement, and supplementation was stronger than ever. I recognized my true desire was to take all this knowledge and expertise I had accumulated and help others struggling with overcoming their perceived limitations. I threw myself headlong into personal training and eventually worked my way up to owning Atlanta’s premier, one-on-one personal training center. Eventually, I had 15 trainers, 4 managers, and a full time nutritionist on staff. We cranked out over 250+ workouts a week! The training was on point, the nutrition was dialed in, and their supplementation was scientifically sound. We were changing lives day after day, week after week and it felt great, as I believed I was living my purpose; the very reason I was put here on this earth!

My personal training center was just like having my very own laboratory and the name of the game was results!  If I or anyone on my team didn’t deliver results quickly…the client was gone.  I experimented with various supplements and tracked all progress diligently. I was on a mission to get to the bottom of what actually worked and what was a big waste of time and money!

My clients consisted of business professionals, pro & college athletes, busy moms & dads, students, even a few celebrities. I took detailed notes on every client’s progress and listened carefully to their invaluable feedback. As the years passed, I systematically weeded out all the so-called miracle drinks, pills and powders and got to the very bottom of what was fact and what was straight up fiction!
