This episode is brought to you
by AG1! I
get asked all the time, “If you could use only one supplement,
what would it be?” My answer is usually AG1, my all-in-one
nutritional insurance. I recommended it in The 4-Hour
Body in 2010 and did not get paid to do so. I do my best
with nutrient-dense meals, of course, but AG1 further
covers my bases with vitamins, minerals, and whole-food-sourced
micronutrients that support gut health and the immune
system. 


Right now, you’ll get a 1-year supply of Vitamin D
free with your first subscription purchase—a vital
nutrient for a strong immune system and strong
bones. Visit DrinkAG1.com/Tim to
claim this special offer today and receive your 1-year supply of
Vitamin D (and 5 free AG1 travel packs) with your first
subscription purchase! That’s up to a one-year
supply of Vitamin D as added value when you try their delicious
and comprehensive daily, foundational nutrition supplement that
supports whole-body health.
