If you’ve ever stared at a shelf (or let’s be honest… your Amazon cart) full of vitamins wondered which supplements actually work, this episode is going to make your life a whole lot easier. Today we’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood corners of the wellness world: supplement quality, sourcing, and why where you buy them matters just as much as what’s on the label.

As two people who have definitely been influenced into buying supplements because of social media (Sandi) and who track biomarkers like it’s a sport (Dan), we’ve both learned the hard way that not all supplements are created equal or even stored the right way.

In this episode, we dive into:

🌿 What Most People Don’t Know About Supplements

• Why two bottles with the same ingredients can have completely different quality
• How heat, humidity, and poor storage can destroy potency
• The risk of counterfeit or expired products sold through third-party retailers
• Why “good price” doesn’t always mean “good supplement”

🔍 What Practitioner-Grade Supplements Actually Mean

We explain why clinicians rely on practitioner-trusted brands that are:

• Third-party tested
• Transparently sourced
• Stored in climate-controlled warehouses
• Formulated with clinically backed ingredients
• Verified for purity, potency, and safety

🛒 Why We Built Our Own Fullscript Store

Fullscript is a professional supplement platform used by functional and integrative practitioners. We break down:

• Why we switched from Amazon to Fullscript
• What makes Fullscript safer and more reliable
• How their storage, shipping, and sourcing prevents potency loss
• Why buying directly from practitioner-grade brands matters
• How we set up our store so listeners get top-tier quality at lower-than-retail pricing

Yes… we are trying to save you from the expensive supplement graveyard on your counter.

🧪 How Dan Uses Biomarkers to Track Whether Supplements Work

Dan shares how he tests:

• Vitamin D
• Zinc
• Omega levels
• Vitamin A
• Sleep-related markers to determine what’s actually working and how you can do the same (with your clinician’s guidance).

🤦‍♀️ Sandi’s Confessions from the Supplement Trenches

Including:

• The enormous wicker box of “must-have” supplements
• Fear of stopping cognitive supplements in case her brain stops working
• Pill-swallowing PTSD (yes, it’s a thing)
• Why auto-ship is saving her sanity

✔️ How to Get Started with Better Supplements

Inside the episode we walk you through how to:

• Browse our Fullscript store
• Start with just your core essentials
• Compare brands and ingredients
• Understand supplement benefits directly from the product page
• Track changes in energy, sleep, focus, and mood
