This week on Stronger Weekly, I’m joined by Connor Shehan, VP of
Nutrition at Rep Fitness and architect of Purist Nutrition, to
break down the truth behind supplement quality. Connor explains
what “pure” really means, why the supplement industry is so hard
to navigate, and how to read labels without getting misled by
marketing.
He also outlines the biggest red flags, the risks of contaminated
or poorly tested products, and the principles Purist uses to
build formulas that actually meet high standards for purity and
transparency. He also gives his recommendations on the essential
supplements that EVERY person should take if they're serious
about their fitness.
Plus, we cover this week’s Health & Fitness News:
Smartphones at 12 linked to worse mental & physical
health – A major NIH analysis reported by Axios found
that giving kids a smartphone at age 12 predicts higher rates of
depression, obesity, and poor sleep through adolescence — even
after adjusting for income, home environment, and screen time on
other devices.
CDC panel votes to end universal Hepatitis B shot at
birth – The CDC’s advisory committee moved toward
dropping the long-standing recommendation that all newborns
receive a Hep B shot, raising concerns about missed infections if
hospitals rely solely on maternal screening and perfect
follow-up.
Vigorous exercise packs the same punch as much longer
cardio– A Nature Communications study of 73,000 adults
found that just one minute of vigorous effort can deliver the
same long-term health benefit as 4–9 minutes of moderate activity
or nearly an hour of light movement.
Jump-rope warm-ups improve running performance –
A 10-week trial in the International Journal of Sports Physiology
and Performance found that swapping five minutes of a standard
warm-up for jump rope improved reactive strength, running
economy, and amateur 3K race performance.
Weekly Weird News: Rotten-egg gas shows promise for
Alzheimer’s – Johns Hopkins researchers found that
hydrogen sulfide restored a key cellular process in Alzheimer’s
mouse models, improving memory and motor function and pointing
toward unconventional low-dose therapies.
If you're looking to clean up your supplement routine—or finally
understand what “purity” means in an industry with almost no
guardrails—this conversation gives you a simple, science-backed
framework to make better decisions.
