In this conversation, they take a step back from the noise around supplements and dig into what actually matters when it comes to nutrient status. Rachel shares her perspective on how we assess whether people are truly well nourished, why intake doesn’t always reflect what the body is using, and where common gaps can arise even in those eating a generally “good” diet. They explore the nuance of absorption, bioavailability, and individual requirements, along with the limitations of current guidelines and standard testing. The discussion also moves into practical territory, covering how to think about supplementation, the importance of nutrient forms and interactions, and what active individuals and those pursuing fat loss should keep in mind when it comes to optimising micronutrient status without overcomplicating the process.
