Hidden Hunger & Honest Supplements: A Conversation with First Day Founder Alice Lee

On this episode of the Blueberry Pediatrics Podcast, Dr. Lyndsey Garbi sits down with Alice Lee, the CEO and founder of First Day, a wellness brand reshaping the supplement industry for modern families. They dive deep into the silent epidemic of hidden nutrient deficiencies, the misleading practices in mainstream supplements, and why our food—even when it’s “healthy”—might not be as nourishing as we think.

Alice shares her personal journey from growing up in California to uncovering generational malnutrition within her family, which sparked her mission to tackle modern health crises with real science, transparency, and integrity. She breaks down the alarming facts behind vanishing nutrients, microplastics, magnesium absorption, and the truth about sugar alternatives in kids’ vitamins.

They also explore the lack of regulation in the supplement space, the importance of clinical rigor, and the unique challenges of building a socially impactful health brand while staying accessible and science-backed. Plus, Alice offers a powerful message for aspiring female founders about betting on yourself—especially when you're not “qualified.”
