This episode is brought to you
by Athletic
Greens. I get asked all the time,
“If you could use only one supplement, what would it be?” My
answer is usually AG1 by Athletic Greens, 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, Athletic
Greens is offering you their Vitamin D
Liquid Formula free with your first subscription
purchase—a vital nutrient for a strong immune system and
strong
bones. Visit AthleticGreens.com/Tim to
claim this special offer today and receive the free Vitamin D
Liquid Formula (and 5 free 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 all-in-one daily greens product.
