Hi, I'm Josh Long, J.D.
The dietary supplement industry operates at the intersection of science, law, regulation, politics, and public perception shaped by media and other influencers. Navigating this landscape requires more than a traditional communications or PR consultant, attorney or marketer. You need a DSHEA Insider who bridges science, regulations, policy and law.
I am a U.S.-based communications and regulatory affairs professional specializing in the natural products and dietary supplement industry. I speak lawyer, regulator, journalist, and C-suite executive.
My background includes over a decade studying and writing about DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994), after which I served as VP of Communications and Regulatory Affairs for a prominent industry trade association in Washington, D.C. Holding a J.D. and admitted to the Colorado Bar, I deliver consulting grounded in legal and practical literacy at a fraction of the cost of law-firm fees.
Turn to DSHEA Insider when you need:
• Ingredient Narratives: Crafting a compelling, science-backed story for your product.
• Compliance Reviews: Meticulous review of marketing copy to minimize regulatory risks and highlight the strengths of your dietary supplement product and/or ingredient.
• Regulatory Analysis: Clear and comprehensive guidance on complex legal, political, and enforcement trends, from ingredient-specific issues to FDA, FTC and state attorneys general priorities.
• Media & PR: Strategic public relations handled by someone who understands the press and what stories resonate with reporters and editors.
Let’s champion your story and protect your brand.
