Not all supplements are created equal, and a pretty bottle on Instagram is not a good enough reason to buy one.

Kat Schneider is the founder and CEO of Ritual, the number one clinically studied prenatal supplement brand in the US. After struggling to find a prenatal she could actually trust during her own pregnancy, Kat built a company from the ground up with transparency, safety, and real science at its core.

In this episode, Katie and Cris sit down with Kat to break down what you actually need to know before putting any supplement in your body. From decoding certifications and clinical studies to understanding heavy metals, supply chain transparency, and why most nutrition research wasn’t even done on women — this one will change the way you shop the supplement aisle for good.

In this episode, we get into:

  • What certifications to actually look for on supplement labels and why they matter more than you think
  • Why the term “clinically studied” is more misleading than it sounds
  • The truth about heavy metals in supplements and why sourcing transparency is everything
  • Why “organic” on a supplement label doesn’t mean what you think it does
  • How most nutrition studies have been done on men and why that’s a real problem for women
  • Why getting back to foundational health basics will always beat the latest supplement trend

Testimonials

"I just wanted to let you know that this program works!!!

I have never struggled with acne but then I turned 21 and then I broke out all over my fave. I never wanted to go anywhere and didn't want to talk to anybody. I became very depressed and angry. There were times I wanted to quit the program because I felt like nothing was working! By the grace of God, He got me through and I am healed! I just wanted to encourage everyone to keep going!!! You got this! Don't give up! Good things are coming!"

"I actually enjoy the look of my face with less make-up."

 I used to wear a lot of powder and concealer to cover the break out areas, as well as to hide my scars. Both my breakouts and scars are lessening in amount and redness!!
