Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/soley One real question about supplements, one honest answer, every day. The Sunny Side is hosted by Rupert, a supplement-literate educator with no patience for hype, and Cathy, a skeptic who has read the scare headlines and the miracle headlines and believes neither. Together they take the questions people actually ask about aged garlic extract, hawthorn berry, beetroot and the supplement aisle at large: what the words on a label actually mean, what the research does and does not say, and where the honest answer is still "we do not know yet." Every episode gives its verdict in the first few minutes, says its sources out loud, and ends with who should skip this — pregnant or nursing listeners, and anyone taking medication, especially blood thinners. Named, not sold to. No miracles, no urgency, no pressure. If the honest answer is "ask your pharmacist," that is the answer you will hear. SOLEY is a supplement brand from MONEGASQUE LLC, and it makes an aged garlic complex — details in the show notes. Say the name like the French word for sun: soh-LAY. See you on the sunny side.
