With nearly three decades in the health and nutrition industry — including managing supplement stores in Miami and running my own retail location — I've spent my career cutting through supplement marketing to find what the evidence actually shows. I've spoken with thousands of customers about what works, what doesn't, and what's just hype. I now run Pines Nutrition (pinesnutrition.net), an evidence-based supplement information resource covering 50+ ingredients with clinical references and practical guidance. I specialize in ingredient safety, supplement forms and bioavailability, dosing, and label-reading — with a particular focus on giving consumers honest, no-hype information.
