Many studies have shown that anywhere between 10 to up to 40% of supplements have accidental contaminants, intentional alterations, mislabeling, or other serious issues. But Momentus is different. I literally spent years vetting the company, their products, and leadership team before personally officially partnering with them in 2023.
Every single one of Momentus' products is third-party tested to ensure quality, and many are even NSF certified for sport. Now, while I love all of their products, the ones I use the most, both personally and with my clients, are what I call the big three. And these are the omega-3 fish oil, creatine, and newly improved whey protein formula.

These three supplements have fantastic data supporting their benefits. Whey protein for lean muscle mass, omega-3s for brain health, and creatine for both muscle and brain support. And they have been shown to be very safe across basically all populations of people, young, old, men, women, et cetera. Now, nobody has to use supplements, and I hope you never feel pressured to do so.

But if you're interested in supplements, it's important that you get them from the highest quality providers. You don't want mercury in your fish oil or lead in your whey protein or anything like that. So that's why I stick exclusively to Momentus. If you'd like to give Momentus a try, go to livemomentus.com slash perform to get 20% off your order.

Again, that's livemomentus.com slash perform to get 20% off. Because HRV is so ubiquitous and you can get it all from just your heart, There's a ton of different cheap tools to measure. I have used historically something called Morpheus, and it is amazing for looking at changes in HRV over time, especially at a baseline.

It's fantastic for improving your conditioning and knowing what exercise to do for the day. But the other ones I want to get into today function a little bit differently. And that is kind of more understanding and acute sense. What am I at right now? And if I go do something, can I see that change instantly? So for that, actually, I like a device that's a combination of a couple of things.

So for that, actually, I like a device that's a combination of a couple of things.
Number one, I use a chest strap, Polar H10. I have no affiliation to Polar. I buy it. It's about $100 or so. This is the gold standard. And I like this the most because it is actually directly measuring EKG or ECG in the heart. Others, the ones that are worn like on your arm or on your wrist, are not directly measuring the heart.

They're using a different technology or methodology, which doesn't matter. And they're okay in some spaces. Some of them are very good. But for me, if I'm going to make a change, if I'm going to pay attention, if I'm going to coach somebody on it, I'm not going to try to save $30 and buying something that's slightly cheaper. $100 is pretty reasonable for most people to get to.

And so I want the highest standard there. So for me, I've just personally had the most success with the Polar H10 strap. On top of that, I have recently been shown by a colleague of mine, Dr. Jay Wiles, W-I-L-E-S. Jay is phenomenal in this area. He does a ton of research and clinical experience in this stuff. He recently showed me an app called Optimal HRV. Again, I have no association to them.

I pay normal full price for it. It's about five bucks a month. It's really, really cheap. It pairs perfectly with that Polar H10 strap. So you can put the strap on, you can pull up the app, and you can see your HIV in real time. So we can see it right now. We can go test something. We can go try something, and we can see the response. It's very intuitive.

So you're talking $100, $115 or something like that. You could have yourself a nice HIV tool. One more time to be really clear. If we are concerned about HIV, we're going to go with one of those devices. We're going to measure it directly from the chest. We're not going to measure it from the finger or the wrist or anywhere else unless we absolutely have to.
