Huberman is almost as bad which is funny to me because he's regarded as an authority. Worst is the completely useless powder called Athletic Greens that he pushes left and right. There must _really_ be big bucks in supplements and lifestyle products like this, as it's coming just as much from very learned Harvard PhD's as Alex Jones. Currently it's bro science connected to life extension, cold baths, red and blue light gadgets etc. and before that Paleo after an endless chain of products going back to the end of the 19'th century where the bourgeoisie were electrocuting themselves, poisoning themselves or lying in various useless massage machinery.

His podcast episodes on dopamine and addiction helped me quit cigs and alcohol because i got a clear understanding of how it works. But some of his other stuff is questionable and subjective

It took me way to long to find the ingredient list for the Athletic Greens starting from the main page. Even on the actual page itself you have to click a button to see it. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr It appeared that it was hidden on purpose and I was expecting the worst, but after seeing it I would have to disagree with your comment about it being useless. From the list I would compare it to many daily vitamins. Many are deficient in these basic vitamins (why is a separate discussion). It isn't useless, but maybe it is simply overpriced for what it is? Most notably seems to be missing vitamin D. In the near future you could take your dna file and upload it to a website and it would tell you what supplement is best for you, but for now as in the past there will be generic multi-vitamins that try to fit everyone. And like in the past some will lean heavily on the marketing side.

  Selling a multivitamin you could buy for a few dollars in a big cloud of smoke and mirrors is a scam in my opinion. Just say you sell vitamin d. Not some ultra esoteric branded product with extreme markups and hints at something it definitely isn't - namely anything to do with "Greens. And doing this as a "certified science man" is even more ridiculous.
