    Welcome to another episode of Lower the Dose! Today, host Dr. Rangi to unravel one of the most confusing health topics out there: supplements. Are they a crucial part of keeping us healthy, or just expensive hype?

In this conversation, Dr. Rangi shares the real truth behind supplements, drawing on decades of clinical experience and even her own supplement line. Together, they dig into why modern diets often leave us nutritionally deprived, the dangers of random supplementation, and how stress, aging, and medications can all impact our nutrient needs. Most importantly, they explore why testing, not guessing is key, and how you can use supplements to strategically fill real nutritional gaps instead of just piling pills on top of a shaky foundation. If you’ve ever wondered whether supplements are the secret to better health or if you’re just throwing your money away, this episode will give you the clarity and evidence-backed advice you’ve been looking for.
