The Family Legacy Projectby Max Quinn
My 1st Phorm Favorites
These are the products I actually use with my own family, why I use them, and what each one helps with. Supplements are tools, not magic. Real food, daily habits, and sleep do the heavy lifting. These just make the gaps easier to close.
Your goal doesn’t have to be weight loss. More energy, better sleep, getting stronger, keeping up with your kids, or simply being more consistent all count.
A quick win-win: when you shop through my links, you get the tools that help your family, and you support mine. As a 1st Phorm Affiliate Advisor, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you for being part of this. Details
Why 1st Phorm
I started as a client, not a coach.
At 35, my health and energy weren’t where I wanted them to be. I wasn’t short on intentions. I was short on a system. So I downloaded the 1st Phorm App and got matched with a coach who helped me set my macros, build daily habits, and show up week after week, even when life got loud.
That consistency added up. I lost 80 pounds, and more than that, my energy, my follow-through, and the way I show up for my family completely changed. The number on the scale was one result. The standards I built are what actually lasted.
Today I’m a coach inside that same app, helping other parents and professionals do what my coach helped me do. The products on this page are the ones that helped me and my family along the way. They’re tools that make the habits easier to keep, never a replacement for them.
Four reasons I’m all in
- 1Coaching came first. The app gave me a real person, a plan, and accountability. That’s what changed things, and it’s the same support I give my clients now.
- 2It fits family life. Shakes, bars, and daily packets that work on a busy Tuesday, plus kids’ options my own kids actually like.
- 3I live it. I don’t recommend anything here that I haven’t used with my own family or seen help the people I coach.
- 4The quality is real. Ingredients are third-party tested before they ever become a product, and staples like Phormula-1, Level-1, Creatine, and Opti-Greens 50 carry NSF Certified for Sport, a certification recognized by leagues like the NHL. As a guy who still laces up skates, that matters to me. See their process and their NSF certified products.
My tip: choose Premium for the best support, with a 1-on-1 Advisor, check-ins, and a custom meal plan. Then pay for the year to get the lowest monthly cost.
Where my journey started
The 1st Phorm App
Products help, but the plan and the coach are what changed my life. The app puts your macros, workouts, habits, progress, and a real coach in one place, and you can be set up in minutes.
1-on-1 Advisor Premium
A real coach who knows your goals and keeps you accountable. This is what changed everything for me.
Check-ins Premium
Regular check-ins on your progress and consistency, so small problems get fixed early.

Custom meal plan Premium
Built around your goals, your schedule, and the foods your family already eats.
Macro tracking made easy
Snap a photo, scan a barcode, or chat to log food in seconds.

Workouts for any setup
Gym, home, beginner, or advanced programs you can follow step by step.
Habit tracking
Simple daily tasks that build the streaks results come from.
Go Premium. Pay yearly. Save.
Premium is where the real support lives: a 1-on-1 Advisor, check-ins, and a custom meal plan. It’s the same kind of coaching that helped me change my habits for good.
Paying for the year costs far less per month than paying monthly, and 1st Phorm often adds bonus store credit to yearly plans. That’s money right back into the products on this page.
App pricing, plans, and bonuses are set by 1st Phorm and can change. See current options on the app page.
Not sure where to start?
Start with three. Build the habit before you add anything else.
Still not sure? Take the quiz.
Answer a few quick questions about your goals and routine, and 1st Phorm’s supplement quiz will point you to the products that fit you. Then bring your results to me and we’ll make a plan around them.
Protein Foundations
Protein is the one thing almost every parent I coach is short on. Pick the style you'll actually drink.
Whey isolate protein
Phormula-1
Why I use it: This is my after-training shake. It mixes thin, digests easy, and the Chocolate Milkshake tastes like a treat, so getting protein in after a workout never feels like a chore.
Helps with
- Post-workout recovery
- Hitting a protein goal
- Easier on the stomach (low lactose)
Juice-style protein
Phormula-1 Clear
Why I use it: When I don't want a milkshake, especially on hot days, this drinks like juice. 22g of protein with zero carbs, fat, or sugar and only six ingredients.
Helps with
- People who don't like creamy shakes
- Summer training days
- Simple ingredient list
Slow-digesting protein
Level-1
Why I use it: Level-1 is my between-meals bridge. It digests slower than a recovery shake, so it holds me over on long workdays and makes a great base for protein oats and smoothies.
Helps with
- Busy days with gaps between meals
- Recipes like oats, pancakes, and smoothies
- Staying full longer
Plant-based protein
Vegan Power Pro
Why I use it: For friends and clients who are dairy-free or plant-based, this is the one I point them to. Pea and organic rice protein plus a fruit and veggie blend, and it's dairy, soy, and gluten free.
Helps with
- Dairy-free or plant-based eaters
- Sensitive stomachs
- Family members with different needs
Grab-and-Go Fuel
For the car, the desk, the sideline, and every day that doesn't go to plan.
Ready-to-drink protein
Phorm Protein 12-Pack
Why I use it: No shaker, no mess. 30g of protein made with ultra-filtered milk that lives in my fridge and my work bag for the days I'm running from one thing to the next.
Helps with
- Grab-and-go mornings
- Travel and sports sidelines
- Zero prep
Heads up: 1st Phorm doesn't count Phorm Protein 12-packs toward the free shipping minimum.

20g protein bar
Level-1 Bars
Why I use it: A bar in the glovebox has saved more of my afternoons than I can count. Level-1 Bars bring 20g of protein, they're gluten free, and they taste like dessert without derailing the day.
Helps with
- Car, desk, and gym bag snacks
- Beating the 3 p.m. vending machine
- A sweet tooth with a plan
Whole-food protein bar
Power Pro Bar (15ct)
Why I use it: When I want something closer to real food, I grab a Power Pro Bar. 15g of protein from whole-food sources, gluten free, no artificial flavors, and it doesn't melt into a mess in a hot car.
Helps with
- Whole-food style snacking
- Hot cars and gym bags
- Kids' sports and long Saturdays
Beef and pork sticks
Protein Sticks
Why I use it: When I want something savory instead of sweet, these are it. 18g of protein in a stick I can eat in the truck between meetings.
Helps with
- Savory snack lovers
- Road trips and long days
- Easy protein without a shaker
Lunchbox-size beef and pork sticks
Mini Protein Sticks (14ct)
Why I use it: Sized for little hands and lunchboxes. Lean USA-raised beef and pork, 50 calories and 4 to 5g of protein per stick, with no MSG or added nitrates. These disappear fast in our house.
Helps with
- School lunches and backpacks
- Snack time for kids
- A small savory bite for adults
Daily Nutrition Gaps
Food comes first. These fill in the spots most families miss, even when they eat well. Look for the stacks to bundle and save.
Daily nutrition packet
Micro Factor
Why I use it: This is the foundation of my day. One packet covers a multivitamin, antioxidants, probiotics, CoQ10, omega-3s, and a fruit and veggie blend. It replaced a cabinet full of bottles I never remembered to take.
Helps with
- Filling everyday nutrition gaps
- Energy, focus, and recovery support
- One packet instead of five bottles
Greens and digestive support
Opti-Greens 50
Why I use it: Real talk, most of us don't eat enough greens. I still eat my vegetables, and this backs them up with 50 ingredients, digestive enzymes, and a 10-strain probiotic in a scoop that actually tastes good.
Helps with
- Days your plate is light on vegetables
- Digestion and gut support
- Picky eaters (including grown-up ones)
Fruits, veggies, and polyphenols
Opti-Reds 50
Why I use it: The partner to Opti-Greens. 50 fruits, vegetables, and herbs packed with polyphenols, and I like it for circulation support on training days.
Helps with
- More color in your diet
- Circulation support
- Pairing with Opti-Greens
Omega-3 fish oil
Full-Mega
Why I use it: Unless your family eats fish a few times a week, omega-3s are one of the most common gaps I see. Full-Mega brings 1.5g of EPA plus DHA from wild Icelandic fish.
Helps with
- Families who don't eat much fish
- Heart, brain, and joint support
- A simple daily habit

Bundle. Subscribe. Save.
Your health is an investment, so treat it like one. Here’s how I keep the cost down for my own family without cutting corners.
Bundle with stacks
Stacks pair products that work together, like Micro Factor with Opti-Greens 50 or Phormula-1 with Ignition. You pay less than buying each one separately, and one stack gets you much closer to 1st Phorm’s free shipping minimum.
Subscribe. This is the big one.
Subscriptions knock the price down on eligible products every single order, and that adds up fast over a year. More importantly, they protect your consistency. Most people don’t quit their habits on purpose. They run out on a Tuesday, forget to reorder, and two weeks turns into two months. A subscription shows up before that happens.
You pick the schedule, and you can change, skip, or cancel anytime.
Use your HSA or FSA
If you qualify, you can pay with pre-tax health dollars on eligible products. Stack that on top of a subscription and the savings get real. Here’s how it works.
Pricing, discounts, and the free shipping minimum are set by 1st Phorm and can change. Check the current details at checkout.
Use your health dollars
Use your HSA or FSA
Many people don’t know this: you may be able to use pre-tax HSA or FSA funds on eligible 1st Phorm products. 1st Phorm partners with Truemed. You fill out a short private health survey, a licensed provider reviews it, and if you qualify you receive a Letter of Medical Necessity. Then you pay with your HSA or FSA card, or submit for reimbursement.
Not everyone qualifies, not every product is eligible, and savings vary. Many FSA balances expire at the end of the plan year, so check your deadline before your money disappears.
- 1Take the short health survey
- 2A licensed provider reviews it
- 3Use your HSA or FSA card if you qualify
