About

Hi. I'm Zach and I run this site.

That's me in the pic.

My best friend from college and her husband just had a baby girl (Kit). I stayed with them recently and got roped into babysitting pretty quick (as you can see).

When your college buds start becoming parents, it's a wake-up call. In a few months I'll be 30.

Even us guys are a bit freaked out when we leave our 20s.

I've always been passionate about fitness. But as I enter my 30s, I've realized that I want to age well. Not just be in good shape.

Building this site lets me channel my dedication to anti-aging into something real. Basically, I research health topics and write about ‘em.

Two things I love doing.

These past few years, she's taught me a lot about keeping skin healthy But, more importantly, she made me care (for the first time) about my skin health.

How I Got Started In Supplements

Honestly, I only started taking supplements three years ago. I'm the biggest anti-pill guy around. When I get a cold, I don’t take medicine. Not Tylenol, not NyQuil, nothing. I just let it run its course.

So I was skeptical about taking dietary supplements.

But I slowly learned about supplements and what would be best for a generally healthy guy my age. Eventually, I made my first purchase and started taking a daily anti-aging supplement called Total Balance.

Almost three years later, I'm still taking the same supplement and feeling great about it. And I've added Omega 3 Fish Oil to my daily regimen.

I didn't just casually pick these supplements. I did lots of research and comparing of brands. Before making any purchase to better my health, I do a thorough investigation. It drives my friends and family a little crazy (when we shop together), but that's just who I am.

I hope my site helps you get over your own skepticism of dietary supplements. Like you, I'm careful with my money, especially when it comes to investing in myself.

That's how I see them anyway.

Health supplements are an investment in your long-term well-being. So you need to be smart about choosing them.

Is This Site is Growing?

There are so many nutrients and health conditions to write about; it can be overwhelming at times.

This site expands daily. So come back often and see the new things I've put up.

So...that’s the immediate future. After that? Well, I might spruce up the design someday. But right now I'm focused on creating excellent content for my visitors to enjoy.

How I Built This Thing Of Beauty (Don't Laugh!)

Before starting out, I had no clue how a website gets built. Or even how a webpage actually gets to be live on the internet. I thought you needed to take a class or something.

But after scrolling through website building forums for a few weeks (and procrastinating a ton), I decided on Site Build It.

It's for newbie website builders and I love it.

I've been building this site for almost three years now. A lot of frustrations come with building a website. But I always go to the Site Build It forums for help with tech fixes, advice, and even inspiration from other do-it-yourself web builders. It's a generous community, I gotta say.

If I had just bought a website building software (ex. Dreamweaver, Frontpage), I probably would've given up long ago. But I didn't, I went with Site Build It, and I've stuck with it.
