Supplements, do I need them? If so, which ones and why?

Check out the video! Feel free to ask questions // leave comments below. :)

In short:

Do we need them? It depends.

Three buckets for typical usage:

1. Maintenance due to:

   • Food supply, genetics, lifestyle

2. Therapeutic due to:

   • Needing to get out of the gutter, extra boost back to normalcy, help optimize current health status

3. Rapid relief due to:

   • Getting out of pain // discomfort quickly. Example: Support sleep or digestive system (constipation, gas, etc…)

Top nutrient deficiencies I see:

1. Zinc (Oysters, pumpkin seeds, eggs)

2. Omega-3 (Salmon, walnuts, chia seeds, flax seeds)

3. Magnesium (Dark leafy greens, almonds, broccoli)

Quality + brands are important! Better for you to take nothing than cheap Costco brands.  

Remember:

Supplements can never replace real foods. So eat lots of colors, healthy fats, and proteins!
