Your Longevity Blueprint

5 Supplements Myths Pt 1 w/ Tom Houle


Listen Later

There’s no pill, potion, or powder that’s going to replace lifestyle changes. But supplements can help. There are so many myths out there about supplements. That’s what makes it a hard topic to understand. To clear things up, I’ve brought in an expert to help bust through the myths surrounding this important topic.

Tom Houle represents a premier dietary supplement manufacturer which leads the way in proactive health and wellness as it relates to the healthcare industry. He has spent nearly a decade partnering with functional and integrative medical practices in order to get patients better faster through education and practice building. Through consultation, Tom specializes in custom strategies to increase patient compliance and improve outcomes. 

First off, Tom sheds some light on the varying quality of supplements. Not all are created equal. It’s important to understand the source of the product. Even the geographic location of the raw ingredients can make a difference. That’s why it’s critical to use a product that is sourced from the place where the original research was conducted.

To identify a high-quality supplement, it’s important to study the product’s label. Tom recommends looking for minerals. Avoid oxides and carbonates. Seek out amino acid chelates. Doing this will help your body better absorb the minerals in the supplements more efficiently. 

There is also a lot to understand concerning fish oil, another common supplement. The key is finding a product that is in the triglyceride form. Natural preservatives against oxidation and testing for environmental toxins are another sign of quality fish oil.

How do you use supplements to manage your health? Let’s chat about it in the comments on the episode page!
