I’m trying to understand the difference between chemically made supplements and food-based ones; what would make you choose one over the other? Are we going to go into that in the course? Trying to understand supplements.

Amy Nett: Miriam asks, “I’m trying to understand the difference between chemically made supplements and food-based ones; what would make you choose one over the other? Are we going to go into that in the course? Trying to understand supplements.”

Yes, I think when we get to the blood chemistry panel, we’ll probably start looking at supplementation a little bit more. I think something else that can be helpful is when you go to the conferences, like, if you did the Institute for Functional Medicine, Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine, a lot of these conferences have supplement vendors, and I think it can be really helpful, just talk to the reps at Thorne or Vital Nutrients and start asking them more questions that you have about how they make the supplements, how they test them, what [is]are the third-party testing that they do, that might be a good way. But yes, we’ll get more into supplements when we get to the blood chemistry and that sort of thing.
