Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Root, Leaf, Extract: What Matters in Ashwagandha
Q: What documentation should a practitioner request when the plant part or extract is unclear?
Request a COA that lists all testing performed, and ensure it shows the plant part, the standardization (including whether glycosides are included), and CGMP certification.
Root, Leaf, Extract: What Matters in Ashwagandha
Q: What exactly has been verified when a material is authenticated?
Authentication typically uses HPTLC to confirm plant part identity, followed by comparison to authenticated reference materials; third-party testing and CGMP conformity are also checked to ensure correct plant part and purity.
Root, Leaf, Extract: What Matters in Ashwagandha
Q: So what material was at issue in the India ashwagandha discussion?
The leaf material was scrutinized because it contains a higher concentration of certain compounds linked to potential liver injury, while the root has a different profile; the leaf ban was later lifted, but the issue highlighted the importance of plant part in labeling and safety.
Integrative and Functional Nutrition Dietitians: How They Amplify Care
Q: What's the biggest misconception about dietitians?
That we only provide meal plans; in reality, the value of IFN is in comprehensive, collaborative care that looks at biology, behavior, and environment.
Integrative and Functional Nutrition Dietitians: How They Amplify Care
Q: What is the most underappreciated part of nutrition care?
It can be highly transformative, especially when care is able to move beyond generic meal plans to address the patient's whole life and daily habits.
