96. Midlife Supplement Secrets: What You Need, What You Don’t, and Why


Listen Later

Are you overwhelmed by the sheer number of supplements filling your cabinet—and unsure if any of them are actually helping? In this solo episode, I'm tackling the issue of "supplement overload," a common challenge many midlife women face in their quest for better health.

Join me as I share why more supplements aren't always better, how to determine what your body truly needs, and the critical importance of personalization when selecting supplements. We'll discuss the common mistakes women make, how to navigate the confusing world of supplements and influencers, and why a holistic strategy—including diet, lifestyle changes, and mindful self-care—is essential for lasting health.

If you're ready to simplify your supplement routine, save money, and enhance your well-being with targeted, effective solutions, this episode is for you!

In this episode:

  • Why supplement overload is common—and how to avoid it
  • How to identify the right supplements specifically tailored for your unique needs
  • The truth about magnesium: why it's essential, and how to choose the right type
  • Understanding supplement safety to prevent accidental overdose (especially vitamins A & D)
  • The real risks of self-diagnosis through online research
  • Why supplements should complement, not replace, healthy lifestyle practices
  • How a functional medicine approach uncovers the root cause of fatigue, gut health issues, and energy challenges
