Coming up on this episode of the Dr. Hyman show, why don't you take a blue pill or a red pill or have titanium dioxide or have dyes and chemicals? Yeah, these things that are not good. They don't need to be in your supplements. Steve Martosi is a cereal entrepreneur and tech innovator who turned his own health journey into a mission to revolutionize the supplement industry.

And that's why I've been busy building several passion projects to help you better understand, well, you.
