Ep 32 | Supplements are NUANCED! Do We Need Them? | Synthetic vs Natural Supplements | Are Vitamins Natural?
from The Nuanced Naturopaths · host Julie Forrester and Karinda Maree
Today, we respond to social media claims that vitamins haven’t been scientifically proven to exist in nature... A bold statement, and one that requires a nuanced approach to analyse. So we're on the case! Plus, are supplements natural or synthetic? Why do we take them? Do we need supplements at all? Join us as we dive down the supplements & vitamins rabbit hole, and try to answer ALL the questions! (Well, at least the important ones!). (Apologies for the abrupt ending on this one, as we ran into some tech & time issues!) ~ Reach out to the Nuanced Naturopaths here! Send us your feedback, questions & episode requests.

The Nuanced Naturopaths Podcast is a friendly conversation between two friends, us! Karinda and Julie. We’re passionate about finding the nuance in natural health. As degree-qualified naturopaths, we like to ask the questions that need to be asked - about all aspects of health, healing and well-being. We delight in questioning firmly held beliefs and finding the nuance in all subjects health-related and beyond. Sometimes it can get a little technical, but hopefully we explain things in a way that's accessible to anyone interested in natural health, whether you’re a practitioner or someone who wants to learn more and optimise your wellbeing. It’s a chat about poop, periods and everything in between - buckle up for a laugh, a cry and for some things you are yet to consider about your health! Stay nuanced!
