421: The Truth Of Supplements | The Fitness Industry Exposed - Dr. Andrea Love

Today, I am talking to Dr Andrea Love; with a PhD in Immunology and Microbiology & is a self confessed lifelong science nerd. We're diving deep into dietary supplements. With supplements becoming a billion-dollar business, it's more important than ever to understand what you're putting into your body and how to navigate the sea of marketing claims and scientific evidence. We'll be discussing how consumers can discern between credible scientific evidence and marketing hype, the differences in the quality of evidence from anecdotal reports to randomized controlled trials, and some of the common misleading marketing tactics used by supplement companies. And much much more. We'll finish with practical advice on steps consumers can take to mitigate the risks associated with taking dietary supplements.
