PricePlow Podcast Episode Listing:

#095: Brian Tweer & Brady Adamson: From Jersey Shore Supplements to AstroFlav

May 23, 2023:

Brian Tweer, founder of Jersey Shore Supplements and AstroFlav, joins the PricePlow Podcast with Brady Adamson to talk business, formulas, and mindset

If you’ve been following the sports / active nutrition part of the supplement industry, you’ve undoubtedly seen the waves being made by AstroFlav, whose “tabletop-friendly” branding has propelled them to a new level.

We invited Brian Tweer and Brady Adamson onto the podcast to talk about AstroFlav’s beginnings. Brian launched the company in 2019 after running Jersey Shore Supplements since 2013, who slowly became the guy in Jersey.

AstroFlav was created to bring out of this world flavor — but with the arrival of Brady and the recent rebrand, it’s been up-only. This episode gets into their backstories, the founding of both companies, and how Brian is using his retail experience to support other small brick-and-mortar / mom-and-pop shops around the nation, committing to keep the brand out of big box retailers.

We also get to learn about Brian’s personal development and routine, and of course talk supplement formulas with a few sneak peaks sent our way.
#094: Ryan Bucki: Fit Butters Crushes the Nut Butter Competition

May 4, 2023:

Ryan Bucki is a performing wrestler who runs Fitness Informant, acting is the de-facto hype man in the bodybuilding supplement industry. But in 2020, he and his wife started Fit Butters — a company selling nut butters flavored with protein powders — and things have begun to skyrocket.

We talk about the meteoric rise of Fit Butters, and what this means for the future of Fitness Informant.
#093: Shawn Baier: Everything You Need to Know about HMB

April 28, 2023:

Get ready for a master class in HMB, the signaling metabolite of branched-chain amino acid leucine that’s been through quite the research ringer. If you have a question about this muscle health ingredient, Shawn is the one to ask.

In this episode, we get Shawn’s background, dive into HMB, talking about topics including the ingredient’s history, its many uses (muscle loss prevention, improved recovery, improved muscle gains in extreme training, and even animal feed), and then talk about when it doesn’t work as well. This brings us to some extremely poor-quality research that had been performed on the ingredient, including a still-unretracted study that utilized an adulterated supplement that turned out to be void of any HMB upon testing!

The story’s as good as the science on this one – any PricePlow fan will love Shawn, and he’s welcome back anytime.
#092: Spencer Lynn Runs a 100-Mile Ultra Marathon with KOS

April 20, 2023:

Spencer Lynn joins the PricePlow Podcast in to discuss how he transitioned form the military to the supplement industry, and how he completed a 100-Mile Race!

He’s currently the Northeast Regional manager at KOS, a natural brand that’s popular in retail stores (much thanks to Spencer) that has a wide variety of plant-based products.

In this episode, we also get into Spencer’s recent presentation on the nutrition (or lack thereof) in MREs for deployed active duty military, as well as using LinkedIn as a networking too. But it’s the ultra-marathon story you’ll definitely need to stick around to hear!
#091: Chris Waldrum Joins Nutrex Research and Announces Rebrand Effort

Chris Waldrum returns to the PricePlow Podcast for Episode #091 to discuss leading the Nutrex Research Rebrand

April 12, 2023:

The last time we talked to Chris Waldrum, we had an insane Episode #69, one of our most wild and popular episodes. Things have definitely changed since then — he’s sold Inspired Nutraceuticals, and a few months later was invited to join the team at Nutrex Research to lead their rebrand initiative.

In this episode (which is our third with Chris), we catch up between the two endpoints, and get into his plans for the powerful Florida-based brand, who’s been crushing it internationally (especially with the popular Lipo-6 line) but needs some spark back home.

This is a good listen if you dig Nutrex’s products or if you’re into marketing and want to see how an internationally powerful brand is going to re-brand themselves at home for the younger demographic without losing their massive audience.
#090: Glaxon 2023: Michael Bischoff & Joey Savage #2

April 5, 2023:

Glaxon’s Michael Bischoff and Joey Savage return to the PricePlow Podcast, just in time to show the new Energy Drinks and Cereal they’ve been working on, alongside many other great developments. We last saw them in Episode #057, and this was an incredible catch-up since then.

Just like last time, this was an episode for the ages, covering the above products (as well as a Glaxon craft beer collaborative), potential issues with the overconsumption of choline, genetically-modified foods and dietary supplement ingredients, and various other recent launches from Glaxon.

Where things get a bit wild is when we return from dinner and talk about how artificial intelligence — and the use of AI models like ChatGPT — can affect the dietary supplement industry, and what Glaxon’s doing with them.

Industry insiders and supplement consumers will not want to miss out on this episode.
#089: Dr. Sibyl Swift & Lance Blundell: cbdMD Re-Educates the FDA on Hemp

March 27, 2023:

Dr. Sibyl Swift and Lance Blundell of cbdMD set the record straight on CBD and hemp-based products and help explain what the FDA is doing wrong about them.

To close out March, we hosted an incredible conversation with Dr. Sibyl Swift and Lance Blundell of cbdMD, a premium-quality CBD and hemp-based supplement company — that has the lab tests to prove it.

Sibyl is their Chief Science Officer & VP of Regulatory Affairs and Lance is their General Counsel. They team up to give an epic viewpoint of the hemp industry from the perspective of both science and regulatory, especially with the FDA’s recent actions in asking Congress for “help” with CBD regulations.

We talk about the many issues between the FDA and CBD, how cbdMD actually legally sells the psychoactive parts of hemp online, CBD’s potential benefits, and what problems they’re running into that they hope to clean up in the industry.

We expect to have one or both of these back on as there are updates in the hemp-based research world or news out of Washington D.C. regarding CBD and other hemp-based products.
#088: Dan Lourenço #4: Ghost Lifestyle’s Plans for 2023

March 20, 2023:

Dan Lourenço joins the PricePlow Podcast for the fourth time, this time to recap their incredible 2022 and plans for 2023. But look at this ‘fake’ product he got caught drinking during the show! Can we meme it to reality?!

After Ghost Lifestyle won PricePlow’s Brand of the Year award for the third straight year, we invited founder and CEO Dan Lourenço back onto the show for his fourth episode – and it’s a great one.

Here, we recap 2022, and then get into Ghost’s 2023 plans. Ghost has a great sports nutrition lineup, but they will be launching the Legend V3 pre-workout sometime this year. They’ll also focus more on wellness, and have a functional food that’s been in the works for a long time, but it’ll only be released if ready.

Ghost will be sponsoring more events, and Ghost Energy will continue to the lead the way there. We’ll also see some minor Ghost Gamer changes.

Interestingly, we catch Dan drinking something from an unknown black can in the video… it turns out that it’s not a real product, but we think PricePlow Nation can make it into a reality!
#087: Taylor Knox – NutraMedia Builds Brands and Labels

March 13, 2023:

Filmed from Columbus, Ohio during the 2023 Arnold Sports Festival, we joined up with Taylor Knox of NutraMedia to learn all about labeling, branding, and everything in between!

“TK” came up through Cellucor / NutraBolt and was behind the first versions of Glaxon’s labels that were launched in late 2019 and 2020. Him and his team are now on their own amassing a portfolio of brands ranging from supplements to functional foods to energy drinks, building world-class labels and packaging and more. They’re known for taking companies to “brand therapy”, building labels and packages that truly resonate with the brands.

This was an epic tell-all podcast where you’ll learn a lot about both parties in the conversation.
#086: Elan Sudberg – Alkemist Labs Tests Your Shrooms and Botanicals

March 6, 2023:

In early March of 2023, Elan Sudberg, CEO of Alkemist Labs, joined the PricePlow Podcast to educate us on the challenging science of testing botanicals. Alkemist Labs is the go-to expert lab if you ever need serious testing performed on mushrooms and botanicals, and they’re even federally licensed to test approved psychoactive substances.

You can consider Elan and his team to be the “plant and fungus cops”. In this episode, you’ll learn about the different technologies used to test botanicals, learn about some of the market’s trends from Elan’s perspective, and then get to listen to us explore the psychadelic space. Elan gives his basic tips and tricks regarding drug use, and also explains what he’d do if made emperor for the day.
#085: Todd Spear & Katie Emerson Return: Nutrition21 at Summit West 2023 | PPP #085

March 1, 2023:

Todd Spear & Katie Emerson of Nutrition21 return to the PricePlow Podcast for Episode #085 at Summit 2023

In February of 2023, our friends at NutraIngredients-USA held the Sports & Active Nutrition Summit USA in San Diego, CA. It’s a three-day event that features expert presentations, panel discussions, and networking opportunities for everyone in the active nutrition industry (renamed from the sports nutrition industry).

We maintained tradition by recording another podcast with the Nutrition21 team — Todd Spear (Sports Nutrition Category Leader) and Katie Emerson (Manager of Scientific Affairs) — a sponsor of PricePlow and the Summit. Katie gave a presentation at the Summit, and shared some of the discussion with PricePlow.
#084: The FDA vs NMN Situation Report

February 20, 2023:

Mike gives the situation report on the FDA vs. NMN, reading his long-form article about NMN and the FDA as it stands through February 20, 2023.

Mike does a readthrough of his massive article titled NMN, FDA, and the Supplement Industry’s Fight for Its Life, which describes in detail the FDA’s transgressions against the dietary supplement industry in their quest to ban NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) as a dietary supplement, even though it has a successful new dietary ingredient notification, self-affirmed GRAS affirmation, is a naturally occurring vitamin, and has been in the food supply for a very long time.

The FDA’s pulling of a known NDI for non-safety reasons is something that’s never before happened, and we claim that they don’t even have the legal rights to do so. However, it’s clear that the FDA isn’t going to change their ways, so it’s up to the supplement industry to fight back.
#083: David Dodrill – Arms Race Nutrition Takes on 2023

February 13, 2023:

David Dodrill of Arms Race Nutrition

David Dodrill of Arms Race Nutrition joins PricePlow Podcast #083 to talk about the 2023 roadmap, including Harness Evolution, new Foundation Bars, and an upcoming RTD.

David’s the “man in the van”, who’s taken it upon himself to drive around the country preaching the gospel of Arms Race Nutrition, selling it to brick and mortars, gyms, and major chains. We were honored to be the place for the label leak of the new Harness Evolution supplement, which will be an upgraded version of Harness (which will still remain available).

You likely know Arms Race Nutrition from their brown paper label supplements that have a high-class “cigar” look to them. Great conversation with a great man!
#082: Scott Dicker – Analyzing Supplement Trends at SPINS

February 6, 2023:

Scott Dicker of SPINS joins the PricePlow Podcast to talk supplement industry trends!

We recently met Scott Dicker of SPINS at SupplySide West 2022, where he shared a stage with Ben discussing “Sports Nutrition’s Rebound and Regrowth”.

SPINS is a health-focused data technology company that gives retail consumer insights and analytics. They focus most on the natural, organic, and specialty product spaces, but Scott’s well-versed in sports nutrition, making him a perfect guest for some insightful conversation.

We emailed him for a quote on the record regarding collagen’s recent growth. His response led to this podcast episode, which goes well beyond collagen — we talk about industry trends, the economy, energy drinks, SPINS’ data, and some of Scott’s own personal predictions for the coming years.
#081: Team Kaged with Brian Rand – The Mindset Nootropic Launch

January 30, 2023:

Brian Rand and Team Kaged join the PricePlow Discord to talk about the Mindset Nootropic launch for Podcast Episode #081!

Team PricePlow joined forces live on the PricePlow Discord with Team Kaged to talk about the Kaged Mindset nooropic launch. A lot of special things happened in this episode, including the introductions to Aaron Heidebreicht (Chief Commercial Officer) and the long-awaited face-to-face meeting with founding partner and formulator, Brian Rand.

As we discuss the Kaged Mindset nootropic, this steadily turned into the “Brian Rand show”, where Brian explains his meticulous process to formulating and testing supplements. Mindset has a caffeinated and caffeine-free version, and hits just right for an incredibly diverse amount of users who are looking for a performance nootropic.

The conversation also turns towards fish oil, protein bars, the Pre-Kaged lineup, and updated flavors of Kaged Whey Protein Isolate. There’s clearly a lot coming from Kaged – but in this episode, you’ll learn why it comes a bit more slowly than other brands (hint: Brian was on protein bar test #178 at the time of this discussion).
#080: Jason Budsock – Animal at Universal Nutrition

January 24, 2023:

Unofficial holder of the “World record cement deadlift”, it’s Jason Budsock, VP of Products at Animal / UniversalUSA, who joins us for Episode #080 of the Podcast!

We’re proud to host the legendary Jason Budsock of Animal at Universal Nutrition — many know him for his two decades of work at the company. He goes by the moniker JDawgXL in the forums and on Instagram, and is the Vice President of Products.

In this episode, we discuss Animal’s epic past, the excellent product launches over the past year, and what they have coming for us in 2023.

We also reminisce about The Cage, and Jason explains how they were the original EAA supplement, released in the early 2000s after following two studies published in 1999 and 2000.

This is a good one, and we’re excited to see what Jason and the Animal crew have for us in 2023. JDawgXL’s definitely one of the good ones.
#079: 2022 Supplement Industry Awards

January 16, 2023:

Mike and Ben get together to discuss the supplement industry awards for 2022. Similar to the previous year, but with a few more awards added in at the end:
- Brand of the Year
- Innovator of the Year
- MVP of the Year (a lifetime achievement award)
- Breakout Brand of the Year
- Brand to watch for in 2023
- Product of the Year
- Protein of the Year
2022 brought some great new ingredient innovations, but also came with some heartbreaking tragedy. The industry broke away from some of the issues created in 2020 and 2021, but also dealt with ongoing problems like supply chain difficulties and price increases.
#078: Dr. Ralf Jaeger: Using ATP for Nitric Oxide & Blood Flow

December 28, 2022:

Dr. Ralf Jaeger joins the PricePlow Podcast to dive into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and how supplementing Peak ATP improves workout performance.

To close off 2022, we had the honor of hosting Dr. Ralf Jaeger, a man who needs very little introduction to industry insiders. We’ve cited his works in dozens of our articles, as he’s an expert in several sports nutrition topics, but for episode #078, we dove into all things ATP — adenosine triphosphate.

Inside, we talk about how supplementing more with Peak ATP (sold and distributed by TSI Group) can improve workout performance — but not in the way most individuals expect. It actually boosts blood flow through nitric oxide signaling, and a couple other mechanisms, leading to increases in lean body mass, strength, and power in well-performed weight training studies.

This was a good and quick one, with some really interesting new things teased for 2023 – so you can rest assured we’ll have Ralf back on again later this year.
#077: James Hedricks: Impel Nutrition Tests Everything

James Hedricks of Impel Nutrition comes on to discuss his philosophy on supplements. One of Impel’s greatest strengths is James’s manufacturing auditing and lab testing requirements – he pays for additional third-party testing to make sure that his supplements are what they say they are.

We also dig into some of his key products that are listed below. This is one of the good guys in the space, and if you’re tired of light tubs with 20 servings, take a look at these 30-serving beasts in his arsenal.
#076: Blessing Awodibu: The Boogieman Joins MuscleTech

December 1, 2022:

The Boogieman Blessing Awodibu has joined team MuscleTech!

Earlier in November of 2022, MuscleTech announced their signing of Blessing Awodibu, also known as The Boogieman. In their first ever virtual press conference, Team MuscleTech brought everyone together to announce the signing. Blessing is a humorous, outspoken individual who will bring some energy and excitement to MuscleTech, matching the excitement from the iQ Series supplements explored in Episode 072. He then gave some backstory about this two previous sponsors, telling an incredible story.

We then had him live in our Discord for our podcast two weeks later — just two weeks before his epic Mr. Olympia showdown — to hear more of his story. Both the press conference and the podcast interview are in the feed attached.
#075: Todd Spear & Katie Emerson: Nutrition21 at SupplySide West 2022

November 3, 2022:

Todd Spear and Katie Emerson of Nutrition21 join the PricePlow Podcast at SupplySide West 2022 to talk research, trends, nitric oxide supplements, and more!

It’s that time of year again – SupplySide West in Las Vegas. Ben and Mike sit down with Nutrition21’s Todd Spear (Sports Nutrition Category Leader) and Katie Emerson (Manager of Scientific Affairs) to discuss the latest research and industry trends coming out of both the industry at large and Nutrition21’s team.

There are some spirited conversations about Nitrosigine vs. citrulline, chromium, our mineral-deficient food supply, collagen, and where we’d like to see the research go.

The beginning of the conversation is Nitrosigine / nooLVL heavy for the nitric oxide side, but the latter half is heavier on Velositol / Chromax chromium, making for a fun and balanced conversation.
#074: Brent Laffey: Armada Nutrition – History and Manufacturing Expansion

Brent Laffey joins PricePlow Podcast Episode #074 to talk about Armada Nutrition’s history and their manufacturing expansion!

November 1, 2022:

Brent Laffey of Armada Nutrition — a premier contract supplement manufacturer — re-joins the PricePlow Podcast to talk about Armada’s expansion. Armada is well-known for producing some of the world’s most popular supplements in their highly-acclaimed Tennessee facility, but now they’re expanding with an even larger facility in Salt Lake City, Utah.

This is an incredibly informative episode for any supplement user or entrepeneur, highlighting how to do things the right way — a stark difference from episode #027, where we last invited Brent on the podcast to discuss the ABH Pharma indictment / scandal.
#073: Patrick Mabe – Crushin’ It at The Tactical Games with Core and Merica

October 13, 2022:

Patrick Mabe of CORE Nutritionals, Merica Labz, and Merica Energy joins us to discuss his recent competition in the Tactical Games, his new entrance to fatherhood, and living the Crush It Lifestyle in North Carolina!

This was a great follow-up to The Boss Status Episode 8, where Patrick and Doug Miller interviewed Mike and Ben – now the tables are turned and we get to hear Patrick’s backstory and new path.

We also get into manhood and bringing men together, alcohol, Patrick’s kit, and more.

If you’ve ever watched any content from Merica Labz, you likely know Mabe, whose consistently rocking incredible hair in his high-energy promotional scenes. He’s fun, but has a serious side too, and we get to see it here in this episode.
#072: Raza Bashir & Shawn Wells – MuscleTech enfinity Paraxanthine Launch

MuscleTech’s Raza Bashir and Ingenious Ingredients (and NNB Nutrition CSO) Shawn Wells join the PricePlow Podcast to talk about MuscleTech’s new iQ Series launch, using enfinity Paraxanthine!

September 12, 2022:

Raza Bashir of MuscleTech and Shawn Wells of Ingenious Ingredients (and NNB Nutrition) join the PricePlow Podcast to discuss enfinity paraxanthine in the MuscleTech iQ Series!

Paraxanthine is the primary metabolite of caffeine, and they’re using it as a caffeine replacement. After lots of testing, the end result is a smoother, cleaner experience, thanks to the reduction of other metabolites and pathway shit.

Shawn (a repeat guest on this podcast) talks about the history and biochemistry of caffeine, while Raza explains how MuscleTech formulated their new iQ Series supplements (EuphoriQ and Burn iQ) using it.
#071: Justin Weeks (Europa Sports) & Ike Ikalina (Alpha Prime Supps) – Distribution and Purple Velvet Prime Bites Protein Brownies

August 23, 2022:

Alpha Prime Supps and Europa Sports partnered for an exclusive Purple Velvet flavor of the incredibly popular AP Prime Bites Protein Brownie, so we interview Justin Weeks (Director of Sales at Europa Sports Products) and Ike Ikalina (Vice President at Alpha Prime).

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about this Europa-exclusive Protein Brownie flavor, the state of distribution, the overall economy and ongoing labor shortage, some examples of the costs of shipping cans / RTDs, and riding out the 2020/2021 storm as a distributor that works so closely with stores and gyms that were subjected to tyrannical and unconstitutional lockdowns (our words, not theirs).

This is a great episode to get a behind-the-scenes and “feet on the street” view of the industry, and we hope to have Justin on a couple times a year to keep up to speed.
#070: The Maximus Lover Protocol: Dr. Cameron Sepah Boosts Libido

Dr. Cameron Sepah is back on the PricePlow Podcast to introduce The Maximus Lover Protocol

July 19, 2022:

Dr. Cameron Sepah of Maximus (introduced in episode #062 below) returns to the PricePlow Podcast returns to the PricePlow Podcast to discuss the Maximus Lover Protocol: 5mg tadalafil and 2mg PT-141 / Bremelanotide!

This is yet another incredible, must-listen episode where we discuss libido, sexual health, and optimizing male performance and mindset. The Maximus Lover Protocol employs two synergistic drugs that work on separate parts of the body to boost both libido and performance. Yet another incredible, real-deal conversation.

Just like enclomiphene opened a lot of eyes in #062, Bremelanotide (PT-141) will do the same for many where typical ED drugs alone are not the most optimal solution.
#069: Chris Waldrum #2 – Chris Explains it ALL

July 2022:

We won’t go into details here, but we’ll just say that this is a must-listen episode if you want to get to know Chris, Mike, and Ben a bit closer.
#068: Matt Karich of Soul Performance Nutrition: Build Supplements Like an Engineer

May 26, 2022:

Meet Matt Karich, an engineer who’s putting his talents to use in the dietary supplement industry, with refreshingly unique, third-party tested formulas at Soul Performance Nutrition.
#067: The NPA is Fighting Dick Durbin’s 2022 Supplement Bill (S.4090)

A bill (S.4090) introduced by Senator Dick Durbin would require pre-approval from the FDA for all dietary supplements. The Natural Products Association (NPA) is fighting back.

April 28, 2022:

A bill (S.4090) introduced by Senators Dick Durbin (IL) and Mike Braun (IN) would require PRE-APPROVAL from the FDA for all dietary supplements. Led by Dan Fabricant, Joe Weiss, and Doug Kalman, The Natural Products Association (NPA) is fighting back.

This is an incredible conversation, and it details a horrible bill that’s been pushed forward by two senators that would devastate the dietary supplement industry as we know it.

Additionally, we get into reforms that the FDA could partake, but most of it comes in the form of actually enforcing existing laws!

Listen, read the complete bill (and see how it sneakily accompomplishes a “pre-approval” requirement), and take action inside!
#066: Dan Lourenco & Ryan Hughes #2 – GHOST x TMNT and the Future of Collabs

Dan Lourenço and Ryan Hughes of Ghost invite Team PricePlow to Chicago to launch the TMNT Collab, and talk about the future of collabs on the PricePlow Podcast

April 18, 2022:

Dan Lourenço and Ryan Hughes of Ghost invite Team PricePlow to Chicago to launch the TMNT Collab, and talk about the future of collabs on the PricePlow Podcast. For supplement industry fans, this is a must-listen episode, all powered by Ghost Energy.

This conversation (along with our other antics) gets featured on Ghost’s hit Building The Brand episode (S8:E27) named “Turtle Power”, where we got to participate in “mailtime”, doming a scoop (or two) of the new OOZE flavor, and celebrating in this launch.
#065: Alpha Lion 2022 Update with Drew Peters

April 8, 2022:

Drew Peters is now the formulator for Alpha Lion, so we cover some of their supplements launched in early 2022 like SuperHuman Sport, a very unique low-caffeine sports-based pre-workout supplement that includes NNB Nutrition’s RhodioPrime 6X, and SuperHuman Scorch, a thermogenic L-carnitine liquid with some extra heat from CaloriBurn GP grains of paradise extract.
#064: Dr. Hector Lopez explains how NutraShure’s SmartPrime-Om will amplify your omegas

SmartPrime-OM is a new omega-3 amplifying dietary supplement from Nutrashure, so we interview Dr. Hector Lopez to understand how it boosts EPA/DHA!

March 30, 2022:

SmartPrime-OM is a novel omega-3 amplifying dietary supplement from Nutrashure, a company run by Brandon Sojka. We interviewed Dr. Hector Lopez and Brandon to understand how it boosts EPA/DHA levels, and the conversation is fascinating.

SmartPrime is designed to “help turn on the metabolic machinery” that’s downregulated in PUFA hyper-metabolizers, helping prevent their metabolisms from over-utilizing the inflammatory omega-6 pathway, yet simultaneously leaving the omega-3 pathway open. This improve the overall omega-3:omega-6 ratio – especially if you combine SmartPrime with a high-quality fish oil supplement.
#063: Ben Hartman of Morphogen Nutrition #2: The Morphogen Rebrand

February 21, 2022:

In February 2022, PricePlow brough Ben Hartman of Morphogen Nutrition back to explain his updated formulas and rebranded tubs. One topic of conversation is the ultra-high 10 grams of tyrosine in his new Alphagen Pre-Workout. We also learn about the incredibly-dosed Morphocalm supplement as well, which contains very high doses of phosphatidylserine (a pretty expensive ingredient) along with RhodioPrime 6X Rhodiola, making for a very powerful cortisol-controlling supplement.

Ben takes us through some of Morphogen’s history, his big way of thinking, and why now is the time to give Morphogen the labels that the brand has always deserved.
#062: MAXIMUS: Testosterone Enhancement with Dr. Cameron Sepah

Meet Dr. Cameron Sepah, founder of Maximus, whose here to help you boost testosterone in a clinically-meaningful way without TRT. Prepare to learn a ton about enclomiphene in this episode!

February 2, 2022:

World-class psychologist and endocrine specialist turned entrepreneur Dr. Cameron Sepah joins the PricePlow Podcast to introduce us to his new business, Maximus, which is a consumer telemedicine company for men’s health and hormone optimization that’s set to compete and beat TRT for most men.

In this fascinating episode, we cover the state of men’s declining hormonal health over the past two generations, learning many of the things that cause them and what can be done to limit the damage. Maximus employs the KING protocol, which includes a prescription of the SERM enclomiphene, adjunct supplements (A, D, E, K, and GG), health coaching, and an online community known as the Maximus Tribe.

This will be most listener’s introduction to enclomiphene, which is the estrogen-blocking isomer of clomid that’s safer and more effective in men, and is a drug we’ll be covering in greater detail over time.
#061: 2021 Supplement Industry Awards

January, 2022:

Mike and Ben get together to discuss the supplement industry awards for 2021. We ran a few less categories this year, with no product-related awards:
- Brand of the Year
- Innovator of the Year
- MVP of the Year (a person)
- Breakout Brand of the Year
- Brand to watch for in 2022
In general, 2021 was a continuation of 2020, only with added supply chain wrinkles. The brands that were best prepared for 2020 were similarly well-prepared for 2021. Unfortunately, it’s a poor time for a new brand to be forming — but there’s one in particular we’re very excited about.
#060: TJ Humphreys Joins Nic Stella at RYSE Supps | PPP #060

January 4, 2022:

In our first episode of 2022, we brought some great news: TJ Humphreys (formerly of ProSupps) has joined Nic Stella and his team at RYSE Supps as President and Partner.

In this episode, we cover TJ’s background and dig into the new offerings coming from RYSE – notably the RYSE Fuel energy drink and new flavor collaborations in Bazooka and Smarties — all coming in early 2022. TJ brings some excellent experience with regards to retail, international, shipping, and major FDM exposure.
#059: Gerhard Hoermann: NuLiv Science Expanding Its Offerings

Listen to Gerhard Hoermann of NuLiv Science talk about the end of 2021 and the company’s ingredient offerings which go well beyond AstraGin

December 22, 2021:

You may know him as “G” — Gerhard Hoermann of NuLiv Science joins the PricePlow Podcast to talk about the end of 2021 and the company’s ingredient offerings which go well beyond AstraGin and Senactiv – including something new coming in 2022!

In this interview, we learn about some of NuLiv’s other ingredients (such as Zylaria, Acteolin, and their “Prime” line of mushrooms), and talk about Gerhard’s contributions to their growing social media presence. We also get into the differences in worldviews across the supplement industry in different geographies, since the team had just finished its travel to Germany, a nation seeing a major cultural “resurgence” recently.
#058: Kaged Muscle Becomes KAGED: Never Stop Evolving

December 7, 2021:

With a new tagline of “Never Stop Evolving”, Kaged Muscle is now KAGED. Michael McLane and Darin Decker joined the podcast to discuss Pre-Kaged ELITE and the brand’s shift to KAGED. They focus on the upcoming Pre-Kaged Elite product launch, talk about history, some of the great formulas launched in 2021 (see also episode #047 on this page).
