There has been a lot of ups and downs in the supplement world over the decades and with good reason.

NOT ALL SUPPLEMENTS ARE CREATED EQUALLY!

I can remember as far back as high school when my mom brought home a new multivitamin brand for the family and it made me feel SO SICK I almost stayed home from school.  True story, I can practically still FEEL that stomach ache and... TMI, I'll stop here for you.

But that doesn't mean the are all bad, untrustworthy, or unnecessary. On the contrary, I believe both personally and professionally that they are VERY necessary for the vast majority of people and there are some great ones available to us with the  click of a mouse!

Personally I use doTERRA as a rule of thumb and many of my clients do as well. I linked my favorites for you there so you can check them out at your leisure.

But back to WHY I believe they are important. You can look up studies (and read all the arguments, yay for questioning things and making good science!) but I'm not going to get into that here. 

It's true, our food i grown in tired soil, places it doesn't recognize, and travels far and wide to get to us.  That's IF we are talking just about our meats, fruits. and veggies. It get's even more diluted of nutrients when we are talking about processed foods.

​When we add in the sheer quantity of processed and highly processed (there is a difference) foods regularly consumed our nutrient load goes down even more but our (bad) chemical load goes up.

So, now we aren't getting the nutrient load we need we are having a hard time processing it, AND we are getting loads of nutrient imbalanced food choices on our plates.

The short of it is that bodies without proper nutrients (macro and micro) are not healthy or in homeostasis. Here are some common ailments and discomforts I see that we can usually help fix with more mindful eating and targeted supplementation suggestions. (Or at least to get the ball rolling! Because, let's face it, you can't ignore all the other pillars of health.)

-Constipation
-Diarrhea
-Upset Stomach
-Anger and aggression after eating
-Lethargy
-Brain Fog
-Thin papery skin
-Aching body and joints
-Moodiness
-Acne
-Poor exercise performance
-Feelings of anxiety and feeling low
-Poor muscle/joint/bone integrity 
-Etc

That's a pretty icky list huh?  It's not even complete!

Your body HAST TO HAVE the building blocks it needs in order to make it's systems complete! From glowing skin (thank you collagen) to loads of energy, you need to eat what your body can't produce.  And unfortunately it can't produce much on air alone.

Well, I'm sorry to hear it and glad you asked.

I was recently invited to speak to the lovely Sophia Soule of Our Sacred Community in their Shining The Light On Our Community talks! I'll link it below, but I wanted to talk to YOU about it too!

Living  younger longer might sound like a bit of a mind bender but it's really quite simple.

It means you are living a healthy, supported and fulfilling life and lifestyle and reaping the rewards of your efforts.  

Making life decisions like healthy eating, movement, relationships, getting enough sleep, and following your joy whenever you can!

In reward for your efforts your body stays healthier for longer, both in the short term (like colds etc) and in the long term (like avoiding metabolic disease, diabetes, heart disease, etc).

Increase  your HEALTHspan, not just your lifespan.  

With advances in modern medicine we can add a few more years of life to most people's experiences.  But it's very difficult to add years of health using those same techniques.

Wouldn't you rather live longer AND healthier? Wouldn't it be better to live with the ability to do all the tasks of daily life without pain? Engage with friends and family activities? Be able to take trips and move freely deep into your twilight years?

YOU CAN!!!!  But my hard advice to you is to start NOW.
