Everyone’s talking about supplements, but which ones are worth your money? In this week’s episode, Cherry Healey and Dr. Amir Khan dig into the evidence on creatine, vitamin D3, omega-3, zinc, magnesium and K2, multivitamins, menopause and muscle loss, brain health, and winter immunity. We cover: why some foods may be less nutrient-dense than decades ago, creatine for performance and tired brains, safe dosages and side effects, whether gummies/tablets/powders matter, and a clear winter guide to vitamin D3 (plus when K2 and magnesium are relevant). We also answer listener questions on indigestion with vitamin C + zinc, and whether glucosamine is worth it. PLUS, a bonus, surprising gut-microbiome health hack you’ll either love… or blush at.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
