  • On this episode of the SHE MD podcast, hosts Dr. Thais Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney are joined by Katerina Schneider, founder and CEO of the innovative vitamin company Ritual. While pregnant, Katerina discovered that many multivitamins on the market contained questionable ingredients she didn’t feel comfortable putting in her body. Determined to change the industry, she created a transparent, science-backed vitamin line for women. Together, they discuss Ritual’s mission to improve supplement standards, what to look for on a vitamin bottle, and the three key policy changes the company advocates for in Congress. If you’ve ever asked yourself, Do vitamins work? Am I taking the right ones? How can they improve my health?—this episode is for you!

     

    IN THIS EPISODE:

    [00:44] Kat shares how Ritual was conceived[4:44] Traceability - Where are the elements for the product coming from[7:01] Why does a woman need a prenatal vitamin[10:35] An overview of the FDA's regulations and the three policy initiatives Ritual is advocating for in Congress[15:09] What should you look for in a prenatal vitamin and on its label[21:34] What’s next at Ritual, and what vitamins Kat takes[28:27] Kat’s podcast, For The Real Bodybuilders, is coming out in January

    KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

    Women Should Never Feel They Are "Nothing" In A Man's World. Success isn't about gender or background; it's about silencing self-doubt and embracing your leadership power.The Vitamin Industry Needs More Transparency And Efficacy. Ingredients are often untraceable, and many multivitamins need more forms and dosages of the nutrients people need. Clinical research in the category needs to be more extensive, highlighting a need for evidence-based formulations that address actual nutritional deficiencies rather than relying on broad assumptions about dietary gaps.Prenatal Vitamins Are Vital For Healthy Pregnancy And Support Fetal Development And Maternal Health. Folic acid prevents neural tube defects, iron combats anemia, omega-3s aid brain development, and calcium with vitamin D strengthens bones. Ritual Advocates For Three Key Policy Changes To Improve Supplement Safety: mandatory ingredient listings for transparency, strict limits on heavy metals with more transparent labeling, and a standardized definition of "clinically studied" based on human trials of finished products. These steps aim to enhance trust and accountability in the industry.Choose Vitamins With Trusted Certifications And Clinical Backing. Clean Label Project tests for toxins, while USP and NSF verify ingredient accuracy. Opt for supplements with clinically studied ingredients in proper dosages, backed by peer-reviewed, published research for safety and efficacy.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS:

    Regular Health Check-Ups: Schedule regular visits with a gynecologist, even if you feel healthy. Early detection of conditions like PCOS and endometriosis can significantly impact your long-term health and fertility.Educate Yourself and Monitor Your Symptoms: Learn about PCOS and endometriosis, especially if you experience symptoms like irregular periods, acne, or unexplained weight fluctuations. Understanding these conditions can help you manage them better. Keep track of any changes in your menstrual cycle, pain levels, or other symptoms. This information can be crucial for your healthcare provider to make accurate diagnoses.Consider Egg Freezing: If diagnosed with PCOS or endometriosis, discuss the possibility of egg freezing with your doctor, especially if you plan to have children later in life. Although PCOS patients often have a high egg count, egg quality typically decreases after 30, making early discussion around egg freezing essential.Be Your Own Advocate and Spread Awareness: If you feel dismissed by a healthcare provider, seek a second opinion. Trust your instincts and ensure your concerns are taken seriously. Share your knowledge and experiences with others. Raising awareness can help more women get diagnosed and treated early.Embrace Body Positivity: Celebrate your body and its uniqueness. Confidence in your own skin can inspire others and promote a healthier self-image.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

    Is It Menopause or Perimenopause? Many women don’t realize that perimenopause can happen anywhere from four to ten years before menopause. Don’t think you aren’t in perimenopause just because you are still having periods. Women in their 30s need to begin to educate themselves about hormone therapy. Don’t Suffer in Silence: There is help for the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Various options are available to treat symptoms, and the critical thing to remember is that if one doesn’t work, try another one. Don’t suffer.There is a Substantial Difference Between Oral Contraceptives and Menopausal Hormone Therapy: The amount of estrogen that is in a birth control pill is anywhere from two to three times more estrogen than that in menopausal hormone therapy. You Need to Know the Difference Between Testosterone Pellets and Testosterone Creams: Some women will have an adverse reaction if there is too much testosterone in the therapy. With a cream, you can control the amount of testosterone you receive. Try Alloy Women’s Health from the Convenience of Your Own Home: Gone are the days when you waited months to speak to a doctor.

    QUOTES:

    “The one thing that I want all people to understand is that we treat you when you're symptomatic. We're not waiting for any particular milestone or marker because I think a lot of women think, Oh, well, I haven't suffered enough, or my symptoms aren't bad enough. That should not be the standard of care we use. We treat it when the symptoms are bothersome for you.” Dr. Sharon Malone

    “So, the things that we talk about like hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, vaginal dryness. The list goes on and on. All of those things can happen well in advance of when you think menopause is supposed to start, and It causes a lot of consternation because we're not prepared for it and women don't know what to do.” Dr. Sharon Malone

    “We're trying to find these proteins pushing these cancer cells to grow and metastasize, and then lurk around and come back years later and get the immune system to see those as dangerous, just like you might see the COVID-19 virus or something like that. Then we go after those.”  -Dr. Kiran Dhillon

    “It's incredible to me that I, a journalist, with not oodles of money like the federal government, must try and put together the funding to support this incredible research….we certainly have hospitals and academics that are willing to work together along with pharmaceutical companies and get these into widespread trials quickly because we're losing thousands of women and men every year. So we can say well, we will have these vaccines in 20 to 30 years, or we can create a movement where we say this is not acceptable and we fund the research, and we get this moving to save lives.” -Kristen Dahlgren

    “I have prayed to every hippie star in the sky, and traveled to India to meet a monk in the Himalayas, and I've also been in a lot of doctor's offices, and with a lot of IVs in my arm, and a lot of scary phone calls, and a lot of confusing phone calls. For me, my wellness really did all start once I focused on my mental and spiritual health.” Shailene Woodley

    “I used to always stress out about the future. I don't look past today now. I just learned that today is a gift and we're not going to get stressed out about tomorrow because it's today, so that was a lesson I learned early. It was the only way you can live normally when you're dealing with cancer because if you're not present in the moment, you can't experience joy.”

    “When I'm meeting a new cancer patient, and it’s like what you said, Taylor, when you walk in, you see people who don't have hair, and it hits you. Oh my goodness, I'm in a cancer center. I say I'm Dr. Taylor. Nice to meet you. I'm sorry you have to meet the oncologist today, no one ever wants to, and I just pause because I think just recognizing that they don't want to be here, but you know you have to be, and I recognize that, and we're in this together as much as I possibly can be.”
