Addressing Pill Fatigue with Justin DeTurris

Many clinicians in functional medicine advocate diet and lifestyle‐first approaches to optimizing health. Though in spite of best efforts there is often still a need for nutraceutical supplements - and targeted supplementation can be a game-changer in some cases. However, the issue of compliance and ‘pill fatigue' becomes a real challenge when patients are overwhelmed with 5-10 supplements at once. Justin DeTurris helps to solve this problem. He co-founded Personalized Nutrients which allows practitioners to consolidate multiple nutraceutical products into one homogenous formulation giving them absolute control in individualizing therapies for their patients. Today, we talk to Justin DeTurris about standards within the nutraceutical supplement industry, the challenge of compliance and pill fatigue, and what you can do about it.   Today on The Lab Report: 3:50 Meet Justin DeTurris and Personalized Nutrients 8:55 Questions you should be asking about standards and raw materials 14:30 Fillers, purity, and supply chain challenges 20:25 ‘Pill Fatigue’ and patient compliance 28:50 Personalized Nutrients’ -Online Formulator 31:45 The Fireball Additional Resources: Freedom to Formulate Subscribe, Rate, & Review The Lab Report Thanks for tuning in to this week’s episode of The Lab Report, presented by Genova Diagnostics, with your hosts Michael Chapman and Patti Devers.
