Are your “healthy” protein shakes loading your body with toxins? It’s easy to assume supplements are clean, yet the data tells a very different story. When nearly half of protein powders exceed safety limits for heavy metals, it raises a serious question of whether they are helping or harming our bodies.
Today I’m chatting with Oliver Amdrup-Chamby, CEO of Puori, to unpack what’s really inside protein powders, collagen, and omega-3s. We talk about shocking industry findings, including testing that revealed widespread contamination, especially in plant-based proteins. Oliver shares how his company tests for over 200 contaminants and why transparency is the future.
We also break down whey versus plant proteins, chocolate contamination, and how sourcing impacts your long-term health. If you’re taking supplements daily, this conversation is essential. You’ll learn what to look for on labels and how to make smarter choices.
Key discussion points…
- Oliver’s backstory and why he co-founded Puori
- Omega-3 quality and longevity
- Heavy metals and other toxins in protein powders
- SB 1033 regulation push and its significance
- Heavy metals in chocolate protein powder
- Types of protein powders: whey vs plant proteins
- Toxicity in various powders, and concerns about soy protein isolate
- Sustainable packaging versus purity
- Quality ingredients and supplement testing for Puori products
- Why Puori discontinued some products
Most pollution of our bodies doesn’t come from a one-off exposure to a certain food. It comes from the accumulation of the things you’re doing again and again.

The health benefits of olive oil, from its antioxidants to polyphenols, are most potent when it’s fresh, but most supermarket olive oil is old and can even be rancid. I get my olive oil from the Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, which sources artisanal oils directly from small farms and ships them to you right after they’re pressed. This ensures you’re getting the freshest, most nutrient-dense, and delicious olive oil possible.
