Update 4/9/23. I was giving a podcast interview recently and was asked a question I don't think I've ever heard before: do vitamin D supplements raise testosterone levels? I had to say, at the time, while I was skeptical, I was not 100% sure. Curious about this, I did make a note to myself to look into it afterward.

Lenny & Larry's Complete Cookie is a product I happened upon while wondering through Vitamin Shoppe one day. I like cookies as much as the next guy and was intrigued by what "Baked Nutrition" meant.
