In this session, I aim to equip dietitians with the confidence and knowledge to navigate the often
misunderstood world of dietary supplements. As dietitians, we find ourselves at an intersection between conventional medicine and emerging wellness trends. The
supplement industry is booming, and if we don't become authorities in this area the unregulated voices will fill the gap. I'll challenge the oversimplified belief that "all supplements are bad because they're unregulated," offering a balanced perspective that places
supplements and medications on the same evaluative plane.
