Jake Torres

About

Jake spent three years as a registered dietitian before moving into full-time supplement writing, which means he is the person on the team most likely to call out a "clinically proven weight loss supplement" that's actually just a caffeine pill with a proprietary blend of underdosed herbs. He covers weight loss supplements, probiotics, and digestive health products, and his reviews tend to be the most skeptical on the site — not because he's contrarian, but because this category has the highest ratio of marketing claims to actual evidence. His probiotic testing protocol involves checking strain specificity (genus, species, AND strain), CFU count at expiration rather than at manufacture, and whether the delivery mechanism actually survives stomach acid. He holds RD credentials from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
