The truth about supplements

weekly memo

 

How many supplements are you taking?

You cannot out supplement poor nutrition and lifestyle choices.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of trying to use supplements to mask symptoms.

I’m often asked if “x” supplement will help with “y” symptoms.

As I discussed last week, it’s important to focus on foundations and the root cause of symptoms. You can read about this here.

Supplements can be an important part of supporting your overall health.

I like to use them sparingly and with intention.

Drugs like birth control and stains are nutrient-depleting, and therefore, I highly recommend supplementing appropriately.

Here's a text I received:

Years ago, I had a pilates client say to me she was taking 70 supplements a day. 

 

That’s a sign of poor health and someone who needs to work on their foundations.

 

Every week, I’m pitched by brands offering me free trials of different supplements, apps, and wearables that I can then promote to my audience.

 

Bayer Pharmaceuticals offered me $500 for a 15-second reel to promote their one-a-day vitamin.

 

I turned them down because supplements must be specific to an individual’s needs, and that brand is low-quality.

 

Quality should be your priority if you’re taking supplements.

 

Please stop buying supplements at Costco, Target, grocery stores, and big-box pharmacies. They are low-quality.  

 

Absolutely don’t buy supplements on Amazon.

 

As a former Amazon seller, I can tell you that they don’t require brands to show paperwork showing the source of ingredients, and their warehouses aren’t temperature-controlled. 

 

There are so many counterfeit products on Amazon.

 

Supplements aren’t regulated, and up to 40% of them don’t contain the ingredients the label claims.

 

Through my Fullscript account, you can find high-quality vetted supplements. You receive 10% off your order and free shipping on orders over $50.
