The Podium
Welcome to The Podium, a production of Podium Sports Medicine. This discussion was created as a resource for the patients in our practice, where we have the pleasure of working with a small group of professional athletes and high-performing individuals from around the world. Our podcast dissects the principles of performance for our patients, and then disseminates pertinent, actionable information with them in mind.

Episode 4
Supplement quality and safety is an area of considerable concern in our practice. Due to the structure of laws in the US, there is very little oversight when it comes to supplement production. In fact, it is probably the case that much (if not most) of the products on the market are worthless or even dangerous.
In this episode, we talk about this very problem, but we also discuss how we navigate this market with our patients. There are safe options out there, but it is up to the consumer be educated on the topic.
