In this episode of Sole Wellness Podcast I'm speaking with Karen Brown; an award-winning pharmacist, founder of Batch Tested and former professional netball player for the Firebirds. She shares what she has learned about supplements through her work with everyone from olympians, rugby players, and even local tradies and some of these stories will shock you! 


We talk about the regulations (or lack there of), what you should be looking out for yourself and your family and how a single product could cost someone their career, reputation and millions of dollars. 



You’ll learn:

  • How Karen’s Brisbane based pharmacy came to service the entire Australian olympic team 

  • What supplements, vitamins and other health products are regulated and those that you need to look out for 

  • Why YOU could be consuming steroids every single day without even knowing 

  • Why kids taking protein powders is riskier than you think and what parents need to know before they just ‘grab something’ 

  • The danger of social media influencers and athletes promoting supplements.

  • How a supplement from a ‘trusted brand’ ruined a future Olympians career 

  • The services some pharmacies now offer that could save you a trip to the GP or hours of waiting 

… and SO much more.
