Which supplement should I take? #Supplement Explorer
Are you always on your phone looking at which supplements you should take? Do you look at reviews? How do you decide what to buy?
As someone who has been in the nutraceutical industry for over 10 years, I’ve worked with many suppliers and companies to understand why an ingredient is chosen, what research is behind it, and how to sell it to a consumer, so if you are looking for some answers to questions you may have, drop a comment, or even better check out the Supplement Explorer on the site. It is free to use, 3 questions, and a simple output. No info is stored.I made the Supplement Explorer purely for my use and then thought, well, if it is useful for me, maybe it is useful for others. The tool is not affiliated with any company or brand, but was just a way for me to showcase what I find useful. If you use it, do give me feedback as to what you’d like to see it on too.
Stay well and remember, before taking any supplements, check with your doctor if it is a good fit for you or not!

A still relevant classic!
Before AI was a tool, I wrote a short book. Check it out on Amazon! Still very much relevant for that recent grad that doesn’t know their next step.

Capsules, Gummies, or Tablets?
Though tablets and capsules have been around a long time, consumers adhere to gummies more!
I think it’s because it tastes like candy but sometimes other formats are better. Why? You might have to take more gummies instead of one tablet or capsule. For example, 5 creatine gummies may equal 5g of powder so there is a trade off.
Also, a lot of times not every nutrient is right for a gummy because gummy processing requires high heat and pH adjustment so a good brand will make sure the nutrients survive that!
I also like the liquid format because it’s so convenient to just take a spoonful and move on. No matter your preference, there are a lot of choices today for a consumer.
Stay well!

AI giving you garbage?
If you use Claude, Gemini, or Chatgpt, do you trust the answers? Should you?
Yes, if you aren’t treating them like Google. For example, in Google, you can type what the best supplement for sleep is, and Google will give you a bunch of options, but if you ask AI the same thing, the response may be good, but it could be better. How?
The more CONTEXT you add to AI, the better the answer and the less token usage. What do I mean?
Same question: What is the best supplement for sleep? Tell me why? Tell me the dosage and the time I should take it, based on the fact that I work 9 to 5.
Now the question is more thorough, and AI will provide more relevant info for you. A simple fix that can make all the difference!
Stay well!

AI and your job!
Are you worried AI will take your job?
No matter the side you’re on, AI is not to be feared. The World Economic Agency says 85 million jobs are at risk due to AI!
However, the same agency says 97 million new jobs will be created. So a net positive right!
Yes, AI will make jobs more efficient but the only way you get left behind is by not learning it. Learn it now and then you’ll most likely not be feeling left behind!
There are lots of tools to learn AI and the simplest one is by using my AI guide on this site, free to download!

AI and Data
Are you concerned with the data you’re inputting in AI? Should you be?
I would say yes but only if you’re not aware of the controls you have when using these tools. Did you know, you can toggle off training the AI model (Gemini, Chatgpt, Claude, etc.) you’re using in the settings of it. Not every tool will have it but check to see if it is there.
Also, keep in mind when you agreed to the terms and conditions, yeah we all just agree to it without fully reading it and understanding it, you might have agreed to allow your data to be used for marketing and other affiliated agencies. It’s worth running your terms and conditions thru AI and ask it to give you key points of it.
So you have options, just need to look into each model’s settings and terms and conditions.
Stay well!

AI and Electricity
Did you know AI electricity usage is skyrocketing?
50% more electricity was consumed in 2025 due to AI. The International Energy Agency said that by 2030, AI will take more electricity than the entire country of Japan!
So is AI actually green?

AI Prompts
Best way to increase getting correct answers from AI is by doing one simple thing… What is it?
Prompts are those things you are asking AI to do for you like reword a sentence, generate a pic, or give me an outline for my presentation. But is that enough info for AI to give you what you want? That too correctly? Likely no.
The fix, end every prompt with: ask me questions until you are 95% sure on the ask.
A simple solution for better outputs.
Stay well!

Water usage: AI vs Dishwasher
I’m sure you’ve heard that AI is depleting our water on the planet but is that really true?
Think about this, you’re dishwasher uses 4 gallons of water to run a cycle but there is no think piece written on it while a prompt in Chatgpt uses 16 oz of water. So where is the water usage going?
Big Tech is using the water to cool off the servers that are hosting the AI models albeit inefficienctly and thus the consequences are more noticeable. So what can you do?
Go to your town’s meetings and push for no data centers in your town as not only will water and electricity costs go up but so will noise pollution as data centers are loud.
Using AI isn’t a bad thing but making those responsible to pay for the environmental impact is necessary!

AI Hallucinations (part 2)
Yesterday, I talked about AI hallucinations but why do they occur and how can you avoid them?
Remember LLM is based on the info the AI model has been fed so when there’s a gap in knowledge, it’ll fill the gap and answer confidently even if incorrect. So what can you do?
Imagine AI is your intern, you wouldn’t hand your intern’s report to your boss without checking it, so do the same and vet the answer and then you can understand and determine what is real and what is a hallucination!
Stay well!
