Are You Menstrual?
The last episode, we focused on how to replenish nutrients and specific minerals in the body. The main focus is food, but we know that there will be questions about supplements, and we do plan to share the top supplements that we can’t live without, but we wanted to first go through popular supplements that can actually cause more harm than good to your minerals first. 

We know that many of these will surprise you. We encourage you to do your own research and always talk with your doctor or dietitian before you stop or start any supplement. We are nutrition professionals, but we are not YOUR nutrition professionals. This podcast is for informational purposes only. 
This podcast episode isn’t about demonizing certain supplements. It’s about making you think and empowering you to learn more about your body and what you put inside of it.
