Affiliates

The gear and supplements I actually use.

A short list, not a storefront. Every brand here earned a place by holding up under the same conditions you work in, long shifts, hard training, and no room for guesswork.

How I Vet A Partner

Four Checks Before Anything Makes This Page.

  1. Third-party tested

    Independent certification, not just a label claim. Critical if you're subject to testing.

  2. I use it myself

    If it isn't in my own rotation, it doesn't get recommended to yours.

  3. Holds up in the field

    Works on a rig, in a truck, on a ruck, not only in a controlled kitchen.

  4. Worth the money

    No paying a premium for marketing. Value has to be defensible.

    Supplements

    Third-Party Tested

    Clinical-grade supplements with independent testing on every batch. The line I point clients to when a gap in the diet genuinely needs filling and when a random label claim isn't good enough.

    Why I Use It

    "If you're subject to testing, third-party certification isn't a nice-to-have. Thorne is what I take myself, and it's what I recommend when someone needs to know exactly what's in the bottle."

    Training

    Performance

    Built for people whose training has to fit around a job, not the other way around. A good pairing with the nutrition side. The plan only works if the training it supports is realistic.

    Why I Use It

    "Nutrition can't fix a program that ignores your schedule. These are the people I trust to build training that survives a rotating shift."

My Everyday Stack

What’s actually in my bag on a working day.

Not a prescription, a starting point. Yours should be built around your schedule, your training load, and what your bloodwork says. That's the conversation we have on the free call.

Building something for people who work under pressure?

I keep this list short on purpose. If your product holds up to the four checks above and serves first responders, military, or shift workers, send it over, I'll test it before I say a word about it publicly.
