Maybe you can relate to this…but as an introvert, I only have a limited amount of social energy, and my preference is to spend it in ways that really count. In fact, avoiding “small talk” at business events has become one of my superpowers…and not because I dislike socializing (or people), but due to instead enjoying deep dives into topics and exploring ideas on a meaningful level. And while some might misclassify this desire to talk about things that feel personally important and relevant as some form of selfishness…I'd push back and say that “small talk” is often what can create barriers that prevents strong genuine business connections. But maybe the “next level” of those strong genuine business connections is unlocked when conversation depth is mixed with randomness…like can we stick together from random interesting topic to random interesting topic. And you'll quickly notice this was the type of conversation we had with the Co-Owner and President of PricePlow, Benjamin Kane. So yes, we obviously covered subject matter within the emerging and intersecting CPG categories of functional beverages and dietary supplements…but also covered general topics I've definitely never even remotely got close to mentioning publicly.

In this episode of GynoCurious, Dr. Amy Novatt delves into the evolving nutritional needs of women across different life stages with expert guest, Rebecca Blake, RD. Dr. Amy and Rebecca discuss the rapid growth of the wellness and supplement industry, which saw the US dietary supplement market valued at $53.58 billion in 2023, and question the efficacy of many popular supplements. Together, they ponder whether these products fill crucial nutritional gaps or simply capitalize on brilliant marketing strategies. Rebecca Blake, a clinical nutrition subject matter expert with extensive experience in the field, shares her nuanced perspective on gender-specific nutritional advice. She argues that while some supplements may be beneficial during times of physiological stress or hormonal changes, the key lies in understanding individual nutritional needs rather than succumbing to one-size-fits-all solutions. Amy and Rebecca critically assess popular trends like cycle syncing and adaptogen use, often finding them unsupported by robust science, yet acknowledge the psychological comfort they may offer individuals. The episode also touches on Rebecca's personal and professional experiences with nutrition and fertility. They discuss the impact of specific supplements and diet modifications on conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and unexplained infertility. While emphasizing the importance of a whole foods-based diet and the limitations of the supplement industry, Rebecca and Amy encourage listeners to be inquisitive and critical about their supplement choices. The episode concludes with practical advice on evaluating and integrating supplements into one's life, urging listeners to consult with healthcare professionals to make informed decisions. /w.rebeccablakenutrition.com IG: @rebeccablakenutrition Questions of comments?
