Philosophy

Alex is allergic to bro-science. His writing is direct, evidence-based, and built on one rule: if your grandmother wouldn't recognize it as food, it's probably not the answer. He'll recommend chicken and rice before any supplement, every time.

"Eat like your grandma cooked. Supplement only what you can't get from food."
