The Dr. K Show

Most people assume that taking a vitamin is taking a vitamin. But what if the form it comes in determines whether your body can actually use it at all?

In this episode of The Dr. K Show, Dr. K sits down with Phillip Snyder, nutrition educator and representative of Standard Process, one of the oldest and most trusted whole food supplement companies in the world. Together they break down why isolated, synthetic nutrients fall short of what the body truly needs, and how whole food concentrates grown on a regenerative organic farm deliver the full complexity of nature — cofactors, co-enzymes, and all. From the difference between ascorbic acid and real vitamin C, to how protomorphogens target tissue inflammation at the cellular level, to the science behind the 21-Day Purification Program, this conversation reframes what it means to actually nourish the body. If you've ever wondered whether your supplements are actually working, this episode will change the way you think about nutrition.

Phillip Snyder is bringing this conversation to life in person. Join us at The Karlfeldt Center on Friday, May 29th at 6:00 PM Mountain Time for a live deep dive into detoxification, whole food nutrition, and how to support your body's natural ability to heal as it ages.
