Momentus makes the highest quality supplements on the market, period. Many of you know me, and you know that I do not trust the vast majority of supplement companies. And for good reason.

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.

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.

You'd probably say, oh yeah, I kind of rolled up my hamstrings and I stretched afterwards. I felt better. If you ask them about, does it reduce pain, muscle soreness?

Again, you would maybe see some conflicting results, but a lot of people say, yeah, like I was really tight and sore. I'm not as sore.

Yeah. Okay. So. The data on muscle soreness specifically is probably the most pronounced in terms of the most studies in this area. If we're talking all things fascial, if we're talking all things myofascial release, if we're talking all things kind of this whole area. When you get outside of muscle soreness, then the questions start arising.

What other benefits am I getting from, again, we'll just collectively call all these things there. A lot of questions, a lot of different areas. But I want to start at the very, very, very top, right? So we know that this compression stuff works. Let me start off with a couple of misconceptions, things I'm not sure on.

When I'm doing a foam roll, when I'm doing a massage, what is actually happening right there? Am I breaking up scar tissue? Are my fibers misaligned and I'm rolling them back together? What is actually happening at the tissue level that explains any of those other benefits that we're going to get to way, way later? What's the mechanism here?
