The Truth About Supplements: What Women Need to Know for Health & Longevity

Dr. Jennifer and Linsly sits down with Shannon O’Grady, CEO of Gnarly, to dive into what it really takes to transition into a leadership role in the nutrition and supplement industry—especially when advocating for midlife women. They break down the importance of quality supplements, the overwhelming and often unregulated supplement market, and how women can take control of their health through informed choices. Shannon shares why creatine is just as crucial for cognitive function as it is for muscle maintenance, how omega-3s and vitamin D play a vital role in overall well-being, and why third-party testing is non-negotiable for safety. She also gets real about the challenges women face in leadership, the impact of imposter syndrome, and the importance of building brands that are both inclusive and accessible. This episode is about more than supplements—it’s about empowering women to take charge of their health and own their place at the table.
