This episode is brought to you
by Athletic
Greens. I get asked all the time,
“If you could only use one supplement, what would it be?” My
answer is usually 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 Mack
Weldon! Mack Weldon is
reinventing men’s basics. They believe in smart design, premium
fabrics, and simple shopping. I’ve been focusing on their
underwear and have been wearing their AIRKNITx 5-inch boxer
briefs for a while now, and I absolutely love them. They are
engineered to keep you dry, cool, and comfortable to the end of
your workout (or workday). The fabric is soft, lightweight
microfiber, which maximizes airflow and stretches in every
direction. It’s breathable, moisture-wicking, and odor-fighting.
