Saison 2 · Épisode 8

lundi 28 avril 2025 • Durée 39:20

In this podcast episode, compounding pharmacist Chris Givant discusses a prevalent issue: the widespread epidemic of nutrient deficiencies.

Changes in soil quality, increased toxins in the food supply, and the prevalence of chronic diseases. Givant emphasizes the need for supplementation to fill these gaps, as current food sources may not provide adequate nutrients.

These nutrients are essential in the fact that our bodies either don't make them or don't make enough of them AND your body needs them to survive. Hence, the critical nature of these deficiencies.

The episode breaks down the essential nature of these nutrients, their vital role in our health, and the consequences of their deficiency.
