Description
The quality of our soil and our poor digestive health means that most of us are not getting enough vitamins and minerals. The solution? Supplementing what we’re not getting. But with all those supplement choices out there, how do you choose a high-quality product at an affordable price? I’m joined by Thomas Pennel from Ortho Molecular Products to talk about how his company chooses high-quality ingredients to create one of the best supplements available on the market. Ortho Molecular Makes the Highest Quality Supplements by: Freeze drying the organisms Spraying the organisms with a protective coating Putting more product than needed in the supplement Shelf stabilizing the product About Thomas Pennel Thomas Pennel is an Account Executive who works in the supplement and nutrition space for a company called Ortho Molecular Products. After receiving a degree in Integrative Biology from the University of Illinois, a little health scare with his now fiancé gave him his first interaction with functional medicine. After seeing firsthand how functional medicine impacted her life, Thomas sought out professional nutrition companies for the opportunity to work with providers and help shape patient care. Thomas has worked with over 1000 clinics across the Midwest which has included a wide array of practitioners, clinics, and pharmacies. He has previously worked with practices across Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania and now resides in Iowa where he currently works with over 400 active practices, including the Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic. He uses this experience to help providers consult and bring functional medicine to their patients with a strong focus on improving clinical outcomes.
