On today’s mini-sode, we face one of the hottest topics in the health and nutrition world today: supplements! If you’ve spent any amount of time working to improve your health during the past few years, then there’s no doubt you’ve come across some brand, influencer, or even professional clinician who suggests you take a particular supplement to help get you to where you want to be. But are any of these supplements really necessary? And how am I supposed to know which ones work and which will simply waste my money? Go ahead and dial in as I ask three big questions to help you decide if taking supplements is right for you and your wellness journey.
