Listen Later

Supplements are everywhere — from collagen to magnesium, creatine and ashwagandha -  how much of it is science, and how much is just smart marketing? In this short conversation, we’re cutting through the confusion and breaking down what really matters when it comes to supplements and nutrition.

To help us unpack it all, we’re joined by Dr. Karan Rajan, NHS surgeon and online educator known for busting medical myths with science and clarity. He shares expert insights into what’s worth taking, what to avoid, and how to navigate the ever-expanding world of supplements with confidence.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • Whether a balanced diet is enough — or if most of us actually need supplements

  • What collagen is and whether it really delivers on the hype

  • The most beneficial supplements, and who can benefit most

  • Whether more is better when it comes to supplementing

  • Red flags, myths, and common misconceptions to watch out for

  • The science behind trending supplements like ashwagandha, creatine, magnesium, and collagen

  • Three science-backed tips for supporting your nutrition without the overwhelm
