Meet Dr. Gillian Goddard, our Chief Medical Advisor – and the reason this product does what it says it does.
But don’t take it from us, take it from Gillian:
Hello! I am so excited to introduce myself to you and tell you a little bit about why I chose to join Plainspeak. My name is Gillian Goddard and I am a Board-certified endocrinologist, a professor of medicine and an author. In all my roles, my goal has always been to help women become better advocates for themselves when it comes to their health.
In my two decades of clinical practice I have cared for thousands of women and so many are confused and overwhelmed by the conflicting information they’re getting about what they should be taking to stay healthy. I started digging into the research on vitamins and supplements to give them unbiased, science-backed answers. I created some simple criteria I share with all my patients to help them evaluate products and I’m happy to share it with you, too.
I only recommend products that:
-
Contain simple evidence-backed active ingredients
-
Do not contain unnecessary active ingredients (including tons of added sugar)
-
Do not include proprietary blends — we should know all the ingredients in something we are going to eat or drink
-
Are enjoyable to use
Unsurprisingly, there was no product on the market that met this criteria and contained. So I found myself encouraging women to buy multiple individual supplements, and the cost added up quickly. My patients were ordering products on different schedules from different websites and, as a result, they were not establishing consistent routines so they weren’t getting the benefit.
I jumped at the opportunity to work with Plainspeak because they had developed exactly the type of product I wanted to recommend to my patients. Strength Water contains just a few simple ingredients: protein, collagen, creatine, vitamin D, and calcium – research has shown most women will benefit from adding all of these to their daily routine. It’s a product that was needed and it’s a product I’m excited to recommend. It’s also a product I’m excited to use.
I also jumped at the opportunity to connect with more women through the Plainspeak community. We recently opened up our Facebook group to serve as a place for conversations, sneak peeks, recommendations, product drops, and connecting a little more directly with all of you. I hope you join me tomorrow, July 7th at 4pm ET, where I will be live answering all your questions. No topic is off-limits.
I’m excited to get to know you better, hear about your experiences and questions, and have the kinds of conversations we wish existed elsewhere.
Warmly,
Gillian
