Vitality Radio Podcast with Jared St. Clair

On this episode of Vitality Radio, we continue Formula Face Off with a deep dive into two popular microbiome gummies from Lemme—one designed for bloating and digestion, and the other positioned for daily immune support. Rather than judging hype or branding, we go straight to what matters most: the Supplement Facts panel. You’ll learn why probiotic strains, CFU transparency, dosing formats, and ingredient compatibility matter far more than marketing claims. We break down probiotics vs. postbiotics, explain when spore-based strains make sense in gummies, and expose common examples of “window dressing” ingredients that look impressive but fall short of clinical relevance. We also discuss essential cofactors like vitamin K2, magnesium, and copper—and why their absence can undermine otherwise solid formulas. The goal here, as always, is to help you become a smarter, more confident supplement consumer.Products:Back on TractPrecision Probiotic Vital SporesNordic Naturals Probiotic GummiesVitality Radio POW!

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared introduces another new series and walks listeners through a real-world supplement label breakdown using popular gummy products found in big-box stores. Instead of focusing on hype, Jared teaches how to read ingredient panels, understand dosing, and recognize the difference between marketing and meaningful formulation. He compares sleep, metabolism, and libido gummies and explains why milligrams, extract ratios, and standardization matter when choosing supplements. This episode is less about criticizing brands and more about empowering you to become a smarter, more informed consumer. You’ll learn what makes a formula physiologically relevant, what “window dressing” looks like on a label, and how to think critically about supplements marketed for sleep, weight management, and sexual wellness.Products:Vital SleepLifeSeasons Metabolism Weight ManagementOmneDiem Thermogenic Weight LossTerry Naturally Red Ginseng Female Sexual EnhancementMan-Up Male Performance Nitric Oxide FormulaVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared is joined once again by homeopathic consultant Amanda Kotter of Elemental Health to demystify one of the most misunderstood natural medicine systems: homeopathy—specifically how it’s used safely and effectively with children. Parents often feel unsure about homeopathic remedies because of unfamiliar names, unusual potencies, and misconceptions about strength and safety. In this conversation, Jared and Amanda simplify the process by walking through a short list of essential remedies every parent should understand. You’ll learn when and why remedies like Ferrum Phos, Mag Phos, Aconite, Chamomilla, and Arnica are commonly used for kids, how to think about potency without getting overwhelmed, and why homeopathy is often a gentle first step rather than a last resort. This episode is practical, approachable, and designed to help parents feel confident using homeopathy in real life. Products:Build your own Kids Remedy Kit: Choose any 5 products from this Collection and automatically receive 20% off through February 26, 2026.Additional Information:#509: New!

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared shares a simple quarterly framework to help you actually follow through on health goals: Start, Stop, Keep. Adapted from a powerful business coaching tool, it becomes a practical way to evaluate what’s working, what’s draining you, and what single change could move you forward right now. Jared ties it to the “1% better” mindset from Atomic Habits—small daily choices that compound into massive long-term results—and gives real-world examples like setting a consistent bedtime, intermittent fasting, and quitting grazing. You’ll also hear actionable “starts” (like walking after meals and tracking food/supplement effects) and “stops” (like late-day caffeine and doom scrolling). No hype—just a clean system you can repeat every quarter, month, or whatever works for you.Products:LiverVitatlityEndoCleanseVital 5:Ultimate Vitality MultiMagnesium BisglycinateOmega-3 + AntioxidantsPrecision Probiotic Vital SporesAssimil-8 Digestive EnzymesBack on TractAdditional Information:Atomic Habits by James Clear - bookThe Compound Effect by Darren Hardy - book#579: Fueling Your Day Right: How to Eat for Energy, Focus, and Weight Loss with Nate Palmer#604: Emotional Vitality: How to Break Out of Overwhelm and the Freeze Response#242: The Vital Five How To: Your User's Guide to Filling the Gaps in Your DietVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared introduces a new series: The Vitality Verdict: Beyond the Headlines—designed to cut through the noise (and the politics) of natural health news and give you a clear, evidence-based perspective you can actually use. Using the newly released 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines as the first case study, Jared breaks down what changed and why it matters for real life—especially for school lunches, WIC, and other programs that shape how millions of Americans eat. He also examines conflicts of interest on both sides of the debate and delivers his bottom-line Vitality Verdict on what this shift means for your health choices going forward.Additional Information:RealMilk.comThe Westin A.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared St. Clair explains why supplement companies and their labels—and even educators like Jared—have to sound so careful about the claims they make. You’ll learn how DSHEA (the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act) reshaped the supplement industry in the 1990s, why brands can say “supports healthy joints” but can’t say “treats arthritis,” and what “structure/function claims” really mean. Jared also breaks down the FDA-required disclaimer (“These statements have not been evaluated…”) so you know what it does and doesn’t imply about whether a product works. Finally, he gives a practical label-reading skill most shoppers miss: serving size math, so you can tell what you’re actually getting per capsule and per day.Additional Information:Vitamin Raid YouTube VideoVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared introduces a refined Emotional Vitality format and tackles one of the most common struggles in modern life: overwhelm. Rather than being a mindset failure or lack of willpower, overwhelm is explained as a nervous system state—specifically a freeze response driven by brain chemistry and stress signaling. Jared breaks down what’s happening neurologically, why procrastination is often protection, and how clarity and motivation shut down under chronic stress. You’ll learn practical, science-grounded tools to regulate your nervous system through simple physical actions, breathing, language shifts, and small, specific steps that restore agency. Supplement support like magnesium, ashwagandha, L-theanine, and B vitamins is discussed as supportive—not corrective—tools. This episode is about skill-building, self-leadership, and learning how to move forward when life feels heavy.Products:Magnesium BisglycinateUltimate Vitality MultiActive B ComplexAnxiety ReleaseSensoril AshwagandhaL-TheanineAdditional Information:Overwhelm Blog PostVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared launches a new series called Extraordinary Herbs, starting with one of the most widely used—and misunderstood—herbs today: ashwagandha. You’ll learn how to use ashwagandha effectively in the real world, why extract type matters, how the most popular forms differ, and what actually determines results for different people. Jared breaks down what modern human research shows, as well as how this herb was traditionally used. Often labeled as the “de-stress herb,” ashwagandha shines as so much more! It supports healthy cortisol signaling, influencing sleep quality, hormone balance, exercise recovery, cognitive function, immune resilience, and thyroid health through the HPA axis. This episode breaks it all down without hype or confusion. Products:Sensoril AshwagandhaVital SleepAnxiety ReleaseMan Up!Man Up!

On this episode of Vitality Radio, we revisit the Grandma Was Right series to explore the therapeutic use of cayenne pepper and ginger root—two traditional remedies used for centuries to support circulation, digestion, and recovery. Jared explains why these warming herbs were historically used during illness rather than avoided, how they help restore blood flow, support digestive function, and ease aches and stiffness, and what modern research reveals about compounds like capsaicin and gingerols. You’ll also learn how to use cayenne and ginger safely, how they complement each other, and why simple, time-tested remedies still matter today.Cayenne and Ginger Products DiscussedVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared is joined by his wife Jen to explore how folic acid, a synthetic B vitamin, is affecting our health - and the role of genetics in it all. What began as a simple dietary change unexpectedly revealed how folic acid in fortified foods, different forms of B vitamins, and individual genetics can significantly influence mood, energy, and mental clarity. Jared and Jen share their personal experience removing folic acid, adjusting B12 forms, and learning why some people thrive on methylated B vitamins while others feel worse. You’ll learn the key differences between folic acid and folate, why more supplementation isn’t always better, how B12 forms like methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, and adenosylcobalamin behave differently in the body, and why B6, B12, and folate must work together as a team. This episode provides a practical framework for understanding why “doing everything right” doesn’t always lead to optimal results—and how thoughtful experimentation, label reading, and food quality make a meaningful difference.B Vitamin Products DiscussedAdditional Information:Episode #601 Blog Post#505: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 5 - The Impact of Diet on Mental Health and Physical PainCheck out all five “Jen’s Story” Episodes!Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.
