Protein supplements, creatine, and anabolic-androgenic steroids are often normalized, despite evidence of physical, psychological, and social risk—shaped by an unregulated market, social media influence, and stigma in care settings.

Join us January 16 | 9:00 a.m.– noon ET (3 CE hrs)

This interactive training will support health professionals to:
