    #534: Supplements in Primary Care

    2026/07/27 | 1h 24 mins.
    Separating Signal from Hype
    Patients bring us lists. Greens powders, magnesium for everything, vitamin D “for immunity,” fish oil, creatine, curcumin… so how do we separate signals from hype without becoming the office that just says “no” to everything? In this home-grown deep dive, we build a practical, patient-centered framework for evaluating any supplement, then pressure-test it against the products patients actually take. Learn a five-question approach to any supplement, how to judge product quality in an industry the FDA does not pre-approve, and where the evidence actually lands on greens powders and multivitamins, magnesium, creatine, vitamin D, fish oil (and why cod liver oil is not the same thing), turmeric/curcumin, and glucosamine/chondroitin.
