Clean vs Toxic Protein Powders: How to Choose the Right One Oliver Amdrup-Chamby

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. "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." ~ Oliver Amdrup-Chamby In This Episode: - 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 Products & Resources Mentioned: Puori - PW1 Grass-fed Whey Proteins: Use code WENDY to get 32% off your first order and get a free shaker worth $25 when you start a subscription at Tru Energy Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at Organifi Happy Drops: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil: Try a full-size $39 bottle for just $1 to cover shipping at Heavy Metals Quiz: Find out your toxicity score and receive a free video series on detoxification at About Oliver Amdrup-Chamby: Oliver Amdrup-Chamby is the co-founder and CEO of Puori, a Danish health supplement company focused on transparency and purity.
