Okay, well, here we go.

This is going to be a little bit long, maybe a little overwhelming, but so fucking important.

Welcome back to me at Hippie.

This is my podcast.

I'm Emily Schramm.

I am a nutritional therapy practitioner, personal trainer, serial entrepreneur, kind of a little bit of a shit show going on

over here in Denver, Colorado. But I am obsessed with my life. And this is the biggest question that I get.

It is all about supplements. So today is a little mini episode that might become a very long episode about all the things that I wanted to talk to you about when it comes to supplements. And this was inspired. Okay, let me first say before my inspiration on this. This was inspired by a show that I love called Vice. If you haven't seen it, start watching it. It's on HBO. It is amazing.

And they just, they're just incredible journalists. And I'm just really grateful for the work that they do.

And they did a really great little segment about this new booming health industry. And it was featuring Goop with Gwyneth Paltrow.

And this work that she's doing and these blog posts she's making

and, you know, just this very big shift, right? So we have doctors on one side, we have prescriptions

on one side. We have allopathic medicine. And then on the opposing side, we have very hippy,

medicinal tinctures, mushrooms, supplements.

It's a multi-billion dollar industry either way, right?

So it's just this huge thing that's happening and part of it is good, part of it is bad.

Let me start by saying the part that's bad it is very confusing so if you get overwhelmed

in this podcast that's okay we all are if you are confused if you're not sure if you have more

questions when you end this podcast i totally get it there's a lot out there and the frustrating

thing that happens is somebody will post something and say,

you should take this supplement because it helps me with this.

And then you'll swipe a little bit lower and all of a sudden it's a new supplement.
