In this episode of A Balancing Act, Coach Kenz shares insights from her personal life and transitions into a detailed discussion about supplements. She emphasizes that supplements are not magic pills and should be used to fill nutritional gaps rather than replace a healthy diet. Kenz provides her top recommendations for supplements, including a high-quality multivitamin, fish oil, creatine, and whey protein, while also stressing the importance of consistency and budget considerations. She concludes by encouraging listeners to reach out with questions about supplements and health.

Takeaways:

• Supplements are not magic pills; they require a healthy diet.
• They are meant to fill gaps in nutrition, not replace it.
• A high-quality multivitamin is essential for foundational health.
• Fish oil should have a high EPA and DHA ratio for effectiveness.
• Creatine can improve energy levels and recovery during workouts.
• Whey protein is beneficial for those who struggle to meet protein needs.
• Invest in supplements that fit your budget and needs.
• Detox teas and fat burners are unnecessary and often ineffective.
• Consistency in taking supplements is crucial for results.
• Reach out to qualified experts for supplement advice.

In today's episode, I'm talking about being honest with yourself...about your daily choices and the people you surround yourself with most. Do they align with the future version of yourself you want to be? Or do you need to make some changes?

In today's episode I'm talking about a local headline regarding 3 adults who got arrested at a youth basketball game for starting a brawl, and how I believe we as parents need to change how youth sports are set up. I also dive into what I've been doing for my own self-care/therapy since November and how I was hesitant at first simply because it was different from what I typically do, but how much it has helped me be a better version of myself for my kids, my husband, and myself.
