In today's episode of the Pain-Free Formula podcast, Stacey tackles one of the most confusing areas of health and wellness—supplements.

She opens by revisiting a 2002 American Medical Association recommendation that adults consider daily multivitamin use due to widespread nutrient deficiencies. With thousands of supplement options on the market today, You'll be introduced to three foundational supplements she recommends to nearly every patient: a high-quality, bioavailable multivitamin, potent fish oil, and clinically effective probiotics. Each plays a key role in improving energy, balancing hormones, calming inflammation, and helping people feel more like themselves.

Stacey addresses skepticism surrounding multivitamins, such as the common belief that they result in expensive urine. She explains that quality and formulation matter deeply—many supplements on the market are low quality, poorly absorbed, or filled with synthetic ingredients that don't benefit the body. By highlighting personal anecdotes and clinical evidence, including studies linking long-term multivitamin use to reduced colon cancer risk, she emphasizes the importance of using GMP-certified, third-party tested, bioavailable supplements from reputable brands.

This episode will walk you through how to identify effective versions of each supplement, offer personal success stories, and encourage simplifying supplement routines by starting with a strong, research-backed foundation.
