Why Supplement
Sad but true: it can be a real struggle to achieve optimal health through diet alone. It seems we often need more nutrition than our daily food intake can give us. We have witnessed so many changes in our food industry, especially in the last 50 years. Despite modern farming practices enabling more food to be grown in abundance, it appears that the nutritional content of our food is declining. In addition, the fast pace of modern life, stress and poor dietary habits can lead us away from truly supporting our long-term health and well-being. Ultra-processed foods, environmental chemicals, air pollution, medications, etc mean we are also exposed to and accumulate more and more harmful toxins.
Supplements can be incredibly powerful nourishment when supporting us at specific life stages or when the body is coping with poor health or stress. In many cases we're unable to eat ourselves well from just the food on our plates - the help from additional safe and effective nutrition can make such a difference in our quests to regain control of our health, promoting vibrant healthy aging as well as longevity.
Food definitely first before relying on any products. However, I do believe that it is vitally important (where appropriate) to explore and learn about the potential benefits of targeted nutrition to reduce the toxic load and inflammation, enhance circulation, optimise heart and cardiovascular health, repair damaged cells, rebalance the pH, gut and microbiome, rebalance hormones, filling the nutritional gap to receive the variety of nutrients that the body needs to thrive .... not just survive.
Supplement Quality
It is important for me to share information on health supplements which are 100% safe and effective - those that have the potential to change your whole body's health and wellness! I partner with trusted brands and choose to recommend those that support your biological processes and keep your body nourished and balanced. One brand in particular demonstrates an ethical philosophy and sustainability whilst formulating world class plant-based food supplements in its own research and manufacturing facility. All scientifically-backed and due to the rigorous quality testing, I consider them to be the cleanest food on the planet! This is nutrition (food) which the body recognises, can easily and naturally absorb and then quickly put to great use.
From my own personal health and clinical experience, I see Quality Assurance as a crucial element when exploring or choosing a health food supplement. The higher the quality, the more bioavailable the nutrient is to the body.
It is worth knowing that more than 90% of supplement companies do not make their own products - many, unfortunately, are just marketing companies - and contamination from heavy metals is common. Even organic, plant-based sources are not immune. Whilst I deem it critically important - where indicated - to bridge the nutritional gap, I advise supporting your body with additional food that is completely safe and of the highest quality.
