Episode Details

Today, Chris explores how to make informed decisions about supplements by following a clear framework for determining if they're right for you. This practical guide helps navigate the confusing world of supplementation by asking key questions about necessity, effectiveness, and safety.

You’ll learn:

• Why whole foods should always be your foundation
• How restricted diets (vegan, dairy-free, fasting) change supplement needs
• The importance of legality and third-party testing (NSF Certified, Informed Choice)
• How to evaluate if a supplement is truly effective and necessary
• The role of genetics in determining supplement needs
• Why cost vs. food quality matters more than you think
• How to test and track results to prove if supplements work

👉 Listen in before you add another pill to your routine.
