14: Smart Supplement Strategy - When To Take Them (And What To Skip!)

Sep 10

😬 💸 Are supplements really worth it—or are they just a big waste of money?!

In this episode, I break down the 3 smart rules for supplementing so you know exactly when to use them—and when to skip them. You’ll learn the difference between supplements that truly support healing and the ones that might just be a distraction.

✨ Inside this episode:

The 3 reasons to take supplements: nutrient support, root cause support, and symptom support (and real life examples for each reason)
When supplements are temporary tools vs. ongoing supports
Why more isn’t better (most people need only 3–5 core supplements at a time)
The top mistakes people make with supplements—and how to avoid them
When not to take supplements (yes, there are times to say no)
How to avoid poor quality or counterfeit supplements (I’m looking at you, Amazon and Costco supplements! 💊)

Whether you’re staring at a cabinet full of bottles (I’ve been there! 💁🏻‍♀️) or wondering if you should even bother with supplements at all, this episode will give you clarity and confidence.

It’s time to supplement smarter—and finally take the guesswork out of your routine.
