Today we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the least regulated health spaces out there: the supplement industry. I sat down with Melissa Crispell—traditional naturopath, nutrition specialist, and president of Pure Essentials—to uncover the dirty secrets hiding in your so-called “natural” supplements.

Melissa spent over 15 years teaching practitioners how to interpret functional lab data and build programs rooted in real health, but what she’s exposing today hits a whole new level. From fillers like citric acid made with mold, to chronic inflammation disguised as “sensitivity,” Melissa shares why reading a label isn’t nearly enough—and what you need to do instead.

This one’s not just about supplements—it’s about reclaiming your family's health in a world that profits off your confusion.

Key Takeaways

The Role of Citric Acid – Understanding how this common additive is typically derived from mold and may trigger chronic inflammation in sensitive individuals.

Hidden Ingredients in “Clean” Supplements – Why even the most trusted labels may include toxic fillers like silicon dioxide and magnesium stearate that accumulate over time.

The Impact of Chronic Exposure – How long-term reactions to hidden ingredients can masquerade as autoimmune conditions and other chronic illnesses.

Knowing What You’re Buying – Why reading labels isn’t enough and how companies like Pure Essentials are changing the supplement industry standard.

How the System Keeps You in the Dark – A breakdown of how medical and supplement industries benefit from misinformation and limited consumer awareness.

Empowering Families Through Education – Why learning to decode ingredient sourcing and manufacturing processes is crucial to living an “undoctored” life.
