BONUS EPISODE |The Fundamentals of Vitamin E

GW Integrative Medicine

Today we’re going to talk about all things vitamin E. And there’s no better person to address that question than the Linus Pauling Institute’s own “goddess” of vitamin E, Dr. Maret Traber. Like me, Dr. Traber is also a professor in the College of Public Health and Human Sciences at Oregon State University. She is also a principal investigator and the Ava Helen Pauling Endowed Professor at the Linus Pauling Institute. Dr. Traber’s research focuses on understanding how best to define vitamin E requirements. This includes some fundamental as seemingly basic questions like why do we need it and how much do we need to stay in good health? GW Integrative Medicine podcast co-host Leigh Frame, PhD, MHS, executive director of the GW Office of Integrative Medicine & Health, is joined by guest co-host Emily Ho, PhD, Director of the Linus Pauling Institute and a professor in the College of Public Health and Human Sciences at Oregon State University.
