In this episode of the Active Bariatric Nutrition Podcast, I interviewed clinical sports pharmacist, Dr. Jessical Beal-Stahl, PharmD, also known as @jessb_rx on IG. We discussed:

• How to know which supplements are safe and what to look for on the label
• Is oversupplementation of vitamins/minerals a risk and which ones should we be aware of?
• Which medications may impact absorption of vitamins and minerals?
• Why is it recommended to separate iron and calcium supplements?
• What are alternatives to NSAIDS for pain relief?
• Which nutrients can be reduced for someone who is more physically active after bariatric surgery?
• What are some supplements you may recommend to optimize performance in strength and endurance training?
• Which supplements are helpful for improving sleep?
