Episode 62: The Gnarly Line with Dr. Shannon O'Grady
The final episode with the Gnarly folks is one I had to talk them into. They just wanted to educate, and I wanted to educate you all about what they have available. So we did both.
In this episode, Dr. Shannon and I discuss the products that Gnarly Nutrition offers. They've got a great line of products that many of you will find useful. Even if you still aren't a supplement person, you may learn something about why supplements are so popular. After using their products myself, I certainly can understand the convenience. I mean, you people are fiends, and that makes me ridiculously busy. So sometimes, I need the convenience.
