In this solo episode, I’m diving into the confusing world of supplements to clear up common mistakes that may be holding you back from true wellness. For many women, “one-size-fits-all” supplements—whether probiotics, DIM, iron, hormone blends, or so-called “energy pick-me-ups”—promise balance and energy but can often miss the mark and leave you frustrated or even feeling worse. Today, I’ll share why these popular options might be doing more harm than good—and how they could be working against your hormones, metabolism, and energy.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Why taking DIM without personalized testing can actually worsen stubborn belly fat, hot flashes, and low energy
• How many “hormone-balancing” blends are more hype than help and what’s actually needed for true hormonal support
• The hidden risks of iron and iodine supplements and why these need to be chosen carefully, not casually
• How energy-boosting “metabolism enhancers” can backfire by contributing to burnout, anxiety, and energy crashes instead of real vitality

If you’ve been wondering why certain supplements aren’t delivering the promised results, this episode will help you cut through the noise and make empowered, strategic choices. I’m here to give you clarity on how to support your health and hormones so that you can feel the difference.

For those interested in a comprehensive, personalized approach to balancing hormones and restoring energy, be sure to explore my signature program, The Balanced Body Method.

And since I also talk about high-protein intake as a foundational step, here’s a link to my go-to protein powder for keeping those energy levels stable.
