Hi Reader 👋

As a dietitian, I do believe supplements can play an important role.

But honestly?
Most people are wasting a lot of money on the wrong ones.

I’ve just put together a full YouTube video and a detailed article breaking this down, so you can stop guessing and start being more intentional with what you take.

Here’s the part that might surprise you…

There is only one supplement I consistently recommend to almost everyone.
And if you’re not taking it, it’s worth seriously considering.

👉 Vitamin D

Beyond that, there’s a long list of supplements I sometimes recommend depending on the person.
But it’s never one-size-fits-all, and more is definitely not better.

In fact, overdoing certain supplements can actually backfire.

Think things like hair loss, acne, or even toxicity in more extreme cases.

Then there are the “nice to have” options like collagen or creatine.​
Yes, there is good evidence behind them, and yes, they can be helpful.

But they are not essential.

And this is the part I really want to emphasize…

Health should never feel like it comes with a big price tag.

The foundations will always matter most:
– balanced meals
– enough protein and fiber
– regular movement
– good sleep
– managing stress

No supplement can replace those.
