supplements are
I’ve spent about a decade working in the fitness industry, often alongside huge supplement brands. One thing I noticed in my time with other brands, was that companies segmented their marketing and products into two audiences:
Men’s performance
Women’s aesthetics – weight loss, fat loss, growing a centaur butt 🍑
If you know me, then you know that those things don’t really speak to me or my community. So many of my clients were either grabbing the wrong products, getting an unnecessary markup, or worse – missing out on the few things that actually make reaching your goals easier.
So let me break it down.
Here’s my list, in order of importance for the supplements that I think are worth it:

#1
protein
If you’re in the gym, training hard, following a program, and doing all of that because you want to get stronger and build muscle – you should aim for 1g of protein per lb of body weight. You read that right. If it seems impossible, you can try 1g/lb of lean body mass with an estimate, but basically – you probably need to get more protein. Start by increasing what you’re already getting, then go from there. No tears now. You’re not alone, most people need more protein.
I personally have a hard time getting up there, but find it a lot easier with a protein powder. Buff Chick’s top-selling SKU of all time, is our Whey Protein in Fudge Brownie. I am incapable of drinking a chalky, gross protein powder, so trust me – this one is top-tier.
TAKE IT IF: You need a boost hitting your protein goal – and want a tasty snack.
WHAT IT DOES: helps you reach that coveted 1g/lb of bw guideline and supports muscle building and strength gain. More Details →
