Supplements ...Yes or No?

Supplements … yes or no?

One of the most common questions I receive is whether people should take supplements. The answer often depends on individual circumstances, but there are some general guidelines to consider.

First, it's important to focus on the basics. If you're only drinking 4 cups of water a day and sleeping 4 hours a night, addressing these fundamental health practices should be your priority. Both water and sleep are free and essential for overall well-being.

However, if you've got the basics covered and are looking to fill in some nutritional gaps, the right supplements in appropriate amounts can make a significant difference in your results.

Even with a well-rounded diet, most people could benefit from a daily multivitamin to address micronutrient deficiencies. For me AG1 is a multivitamin x 100 and then some probably why I have taken it daily for 7 years now...and if you want to try some for FREE just ask.

For instance, the USDA reports that 86% of the U.S. population doesn't meet the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for Vitamin E, and nearly half fall short on Zinc and Vitamin C intake. These nutrients boost immune system support, among other functions.

It's worth noting that the RDA is the minimum amount needed to avoid illness or disease - not necessarily the optimal amount for high performance.

Another valuable supplement is a high-quality whey protein. Look for options with 25-30 grams of protein per serving and no more than 4-5 ingredients. This can promote muscle growth, fat burning, strength gains and recovery while boosting energy levels.

Lastly, many people don't consume enough fish, leading to a deficiency in omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fats have been shown to improve cardiovascular health, brain function and joint health while supporting immunity, vision and weight management. A pure, potent, well-sourced fish oil supplement can significantly impact your overall health, from your skin to the cellular level. I take this Krill Oil HERE daily.

These three supplements - a multivitamin (or AG1) protein powder, and fish oil - are often considered the "Big Three" in the supplement world due to their wide-ranging benefits and ability to address common nutritional gaps.

But remember, supplements should complement a healthy diet and lifestyle, not replace them.

As always any questions just ask I am happy to answer.

Until next time eat well, train hard & be nice to people.
