Join us today to discuss all things supplements, vitamins, overall health, fitness, and more with Greenville’s own Total Nutrition!

As fitness, nutrition, and well-being are becoming more and more popular, fitness influencers are popping up all over the media giving their tips and tricks on how to “look like they do”. While it is fantastic that our health is being taken seriously, these new trends have come to be quite a problem. There are a lot of claimed magic pills, overnight supplements, “10-days-to-shredded-abs” workouts, and so much more that are leading people to believe that if they put this in their body or do this specific movement, they will get a quick result. Unfortunately that is not the case. Motivation to keep working out frequently declines after individuals realize the faulty claims of these fitness promotions. It has made the fitness and health community on social media a very toxic environment.

Today we are here to clear the air on these myths and provide you with the exact science behind these so-called “magic” supplements. We will go over how to actually use them, how they work in your body anatomically, and how you can better educate yourself before buying them. This episode is packed full of valuable information and resources on campus that you can use to learn more and reach your goals! This is definitely one you do not want to miss!
