From protein and collagen to creatine, greens and electrolytes, nutritional powders are everywhere—but do women really need them? And how do you know which ones are worth taking?
On this episode of HERology, co-hosts Dr. Joanne Stone and Dr. Anna Barbieri are joined by Anita Mirchandani, MS, RD, CDN, Director of Nutrition and Wellness at the Carolyn Rowan Center for Women’s Health and Wellness at Mount Sinai, to break down the growing world of nutritional powders and what they can—and can't—do for women's health.
The experts also discuss how nutritional needs can change throughout different stages of life, why whole foods should remain the foundation of a healthy diet, how to evaluate the quality and safety of nutritional powders, and why consumers should be wary of products that promise to solve every symptom or health concern with a single scoop.
Whether you're already stocking your kitchen counter with powders or wondering if you need any at all, this episode offers a practical, evidence-conscious guide to making smarter choices about nutritional supplements.
