Green Beret Tests CellFlo6® in Afghanistan: PLT Health on Tactical Nutrition | Episode 212

FULL SHOW NOTES 🔀🔀🔀 https://blog.priceplow.com/podcast/tactical-nutrition-cellflo6-212
What does tactical nutrition actually look like in the field? On Episode #212 of the PricePlow Podcast, retired Army Special Forces operator Chris Lobb (10th Special Forces Group) and Brett Bernier (Director of Sports and Active Nutrition at PLT Health Solutions) join Mike Roberto and Ben Kane for one of the most practically grounded supplement conversations we've had.

Chris shares a remarkable story: in 2019, while deployed in Afghanistan, he tested unlabeled CellFlo6® capsules sent to his team house by inventor Matt Nickerson, five years before @plthealth's commercial partnership with the ingredient launched. The results spoke for themselves, and his entire team was using CellFlo6 by deployment's end.

Together, they cover:
* The four core need states for special operations personnel (energy, endurance, hydration, recovery)
* CellFlo6® as a green tea catechin extract supporting blood flow, cognitive clarity, and anecdotal hydration effects
* zümXR® extended and delayed-release caffeine: preview of new study data
* Tactical delivery format innovation: gummies, lozenges, and dissolvable strips
* Creatine reaching SOCOM and what it signals for functional ingredients in the military
* How Special Forces defines "optimization" very differently from civilian fitness culture
* Chris's 18X-Ray enlistment path through the Special Forces Qualification Course
T* he many skill sets of a Green Beret beyond direct action
