research and effective
giving, Athletic
Greens all-in-one supplement, and
Allform premium, modular

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 AG 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 five 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.

This episode is also brought to you
by Allform! If
you’ve been listening to the podcast for a while, you’ve probably
heard me talk about Helix Sleep mattresses, which I’ve been using
since 2017. They also launched a company
called Allform that
makes premium, customizable sofas and chairs shipped
right to your door—at a fraction of the cost of traditional
stores. You can pick your fabric (and they’re all spill,
stain, and scratch resistant), the sofa color, the color of the
legs, and the sofa size and shape to make sure it’s perfect for
you and your home.


Allform arrives in just 3–7 days, and you
can assemble it yourself in a few minutes—no tools
needed. To find your perfect sofa and receive 20%
off all orders, check out
Allform.com/Tim.
