America First Stories Ep. 14: Colton Kelley
Description
This Week's Guest: Colton Kelley from Unicity
Jon Herold is so sold on unimate that he shows up to this interview clutching his branded water bottle. In this episode of the sponsor spotlight series, he sits down with Colton Kelley of Unicity, the company behind the yerba mate extract Jon swears replaced his coffee habit. Colton traces Unicity's roots back to a century-old pharmacy, then breaks down what actually makes yerba mate tick: chlorogenic acid, theobromine, and mate saponins, plus why one scary-sounding study about the drink is, in his words, bogus. From there the conversation widens into the bigger question of why over 60 percent of American adults are on a prescription every year, and how the flagship pairing of unimate and balance aims at metabolic health rather than symptoms. It is friendly, product-heavy, and genuinely curious about the science. None of this is medical advice, but it is a solid look at the company behind the tea. Where to buy comes up too.
