Join Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright on Fat Science as they dive into the world of dietary supplements. Dr. Cooper breaks down how supplements can mess with hormones like leptin, leading to surprising weight gain. You'll get the lowdown on the sneaky marketing tactics and why it's so important to check with your doctor first.

Andrea shares how easy it is to get swayed by fancy packaging and celebrity endorsements, while Mark reminds us not to skip professional advice. This episode is packed with tips on what to watch out for in the supplement aisle and real science you can trust.

Key Takeaways:
