Supplements are an essential part of healing and maintaining optimal function. Just remember…quality counts!
WHY HIGH quality PHARMACEUTICAL-GRADE SUPPLEMENTS are KEY
Why are supplements important?
They replete nutritional deficiencies, provide the body what it needs to heal in a targeted fashion, and act as a way to amplify your results for healing and health optimization, typically speeding and improving the healing process.
My philosophy on supplementation
My goal with supplements in clinical practice is to use a modest approach. I do my best not to overwhelm the clients financially or with a complicated regimen. I have been trained to understand that using high quality pharmaceutical grade supplements can both determine efficacy of and amplify success rates in a health intervention plan. While I try to get as much whole-food nutritional therapy as possible using “food as medicine”, due to common problems with digestion, absorption, and utilization of nutrients, there are most likely supplements that need to be administered to get healthy levels back in the body to restore and optimize physiological and biological function.
Additionally, our food sources today simply don’t contain adequate levels of nutrients the way they used to. For this reason, there are basic supplementation requirements that most individuals will benefit greatly from. With that, I believe in a strong foundation of long-term general supplementation (such as a daily multivitamin mineral, omega-3s, magnesium, probiotics, and most likely Vitamin D depending on your geographic location). Most nutritional and health restoration programs I tailor for clients also have great success by implementing shorter term supplementation as part of a treatment protocol that the client can taper off of over time.
WHY NOT TO BUY SUPPLEMENTS ON AMAZOn, from the grocery store, etc.
Why you shouldn't buy supplements from Amazon or the grocery store
WHERE YOU BUY YOUR SUPPLEMENTS MATTERS
It is NOT recommended to buy your supplements from grocery/department stores, or even Amazon (there are documented fraudulent companies scamming consumers).
QUALITY IS CRUCIAL
Low priced supplements often mean low quality, and use cheap ingredient substitutions that do not have the same potency, purity, or absorption/utilization capacity as high quality supplements. You will not get the desired health supportive benefits from lower-grade options, even if they are cheaper to purchase. Do not waste your money!
SAFETY FIRST
Additionally, some of the fraudulent supplements can actually be harmful.
