This article could've been written by ChatGPT. I would advise anyone reading it to heed the warning at the bottom:
> You are not on the website of a medical doctor, nutritionist, or registered dietitian.
Importantly, they also are not a certified trainer. You don't need to be one, but if you aren't one I'd expect you to at least look the part. I'm not one either, but based on a lot of the information being far too surface level to be useful this is a cleverly disguised ad-rev cash grab.
I especially enjoyed this note:
> But here's the tricky part: “Natural” doesn’t always mean you can’t take other substances like HGH and insulin
I know of no standard body (USADA, etc) that allows these. Some may allow it with a Therapeutic Use Exemption. You are not natural if you take exogenous hormones. A diabetic taking insulin will not realize the same effects as a person without diabetes when doped with insulin. The amount of insulin bodybuilders and athletes take is insane. You can tell the author has never taken part in a sport where this is wildly common. I competed with a few people who doped insulin so heavy they nearly were hospitalized.
Call it ad hominem but I'm not going to take advice from someone who does not appear to take part in any fitness whatsoever. Put it into practice, set some decent PRs, and then talk about it. Otherwise this is no different than any one of 1,000 fitness spam sites talking about the same information.
