Supplements
Learn why supplements are an important part of your gut healing journey.
Even the healthiest eaters can benefit from targeted supplementation.
Yes, food is the foundation but supplements can help fill the gap.
Why do we need nutritional supplements?
Soil
Soil is different than it used to be. Our current agricultural and Environmental climate does not favor nutrient-rich soil- we are missing out on a ton of nutrients because of poor soil!
Genetics
Our genetics make us unique. With this uniquenesses it is possible you are not absorbing, metabolizing, and/or utilizing the nutrients you do consume!
Stress
Speaking of stress, our bodies are highly stressed by our modern world and toxic environment. This unfortunately depletes us of vital nutrients that may not be repleted by our diets, no matter how careful we are about what we eat.
Health
There are supplements that can help us even if we do not have a deficiency. For example, certain herbs can help our body manage stress better!
Quality Matters
Now comes the matter of quality. It is important to purchase your supplements from a professional brand from a reputable health care provider (like me)! The supplement industry is poorly regulated and unfortunately, because of that not all supplements are created equal.
One big difference between professional-grade and OTC supplements is ingredients. OTC supplements often use synthetic or cheaper forms of vitamins in lower concentrations with added fillers (which could be contributing to your gut issues!). So you get a poorly absorbed form with less in it that your body doesn't like.
Yeah, that will be a hard pass for me!
Professional-grade supplements are not sold in big chain retail stores because the manufacturers believe in proper education and want their product used through a credentialed practitioner (me again!). So when you find them on Amazon just know you are playing with fire when it comes to the integrity of the product. It might not be what it says it is. My advice - Just don't do it!
