In this episode of the Busy Bariatric Podcast, I’m joined by registered dietitian Jenny Young to talk about the must-have supplements for anyone post-bariatric surgery. We get into why movement isn’t just a “nice to have,” the vital vitamins and minerals your body needs, and why blood work should be your best friend. We also chat about omega-3s, why inflammation is a bigger deal than you think, and how to choose quality supplements without getting sucked into gimmicks. Plus, we clear up the mystery around creatine and collagen in your bariatric diet. Stick around for a lightning round of quick tips that could change your post-surgery game.
