57. Shawn Wells: Shocking Truth About Supplements: Most Are Useless

What if the reason your supplements aren't working has nothing to do with your body—and everything to do with what's in the bottle? In this episode of Extend, I'm joined by biochemist and ingredient formulator Shawn Wells, a leading voice in evidence-based supplementation and mitochondrial health. Together, we uncover why so many products fail to deliver results, how to build a smarter, personalized stack, and what most people get completely wrong about vitamins, probiotics, and biohacking. We get into the dangers of proprietary blends, why over 80% of supplements on Amazon may be underdosed or inactive, and what blood tests and wearables really reveal about your health. Shawn also shares his foundational stack—from GLP-1 agonists to mitochondrial protectors—and explains why dosing and timing matter more than you think. If you're relying on guesswork when it comes to supplements, this episode will change your approach for good.   We Also Discuss: The Supplement Lies You've Been Told Why Bio-Individuality Changes Everything How to Spot a Scam Supplement The Foundational Stack You Actually Need Muscle, Brain & Bone: The Smart Stack Upgrade Your Brain: Next-Gen Nootropics The New Science of Sleep Support Immunity, Mitochondria & Microbiome Hacks   Thank You to Our Sponsors: TruNiagen: Whether you are looking to stay sharp, feel more energized or simple age better, go to https://www.truniagen.com/ IFit: If you are looking to elevate your home gym fitness experience with the best in fitness tech, choose IFIT.
