Episode 80: Stop Guessing, Start Testing: Sophie Shepherd on Minerals, Iodine & the Stuff Nobody Told You

She's back, and she brought receipts. Mineral expert Sophie Shepherd rejoins Dr. Cindy to bust the myths you've been sold—from calcium overload to iodine fear—and explain why randomly grabbing supplements off the shelf might be doing more harm than good.
