Custom Supps Through EPC

Those who know me well know I am always looking for that little boost in performance from cutting-edge technology. Whether it’s a new light-weight bike component, drag lowering speed suit, or red blood cell-producing hypoxic tent, I want to try it and see how it can make me faster! Most athletes will agree that nutrition plays a critical role in performance. More specifically, many athletes look to nutritional supplements for a performance edge. Some supps provide a benefit, great or small, others not so much. I am no stranger to supplements and realize that there is no magic bullet, but the right ones at the right time can provide a positive boost to your daily nutrition and athletic performance. The key to effective supplementation is looking at your body’s own chemistry and identifying the areas in which you need additional support. I found a great article in the December issue of Triathlete Magazine (below) that points out some critical areas that endurance athletes need to pay attention to.

A few months ago I was introduced to company called Ideal Health (aka The Trump Network) that uses metabolic testing to test my bodies’ needs and then a custom multivitamin is produced specifically for me. I was intrigued, to say the least, so I jumped on it and gave it a go. Well, after several months of being on the products I have seen some positive changes in my overall health including digestion/elimination, recovery, sleep quality, mood, and immune response. Big time stuff for an elite triathlete!

How does it work? For the custom vitamin/mineral supplement, Custom Essentials, you order an in-home urine sampling kit, fill out a questionnaire, pee in the cup, send the specimen to the lab, and in a few weeks you receive a detailed report of the test results along with your monthly supply of supps. Pretty easy and super cool. I also did an allergy test that involved a blood-drop test. Fortunately that test came back negative for allergies. Good news there as I’m not ready to give up bread or dairy

I am so stoked on these custom supps and encourage you to take a look and give them a try as I did last summer. I will continue to report on the supplements and the benefits I find as I continue to try their other biological tests and supplement line.
