A Foundational Daily Supplement Regimen For Everyone?

How can you possibly know what the heck supplements you really need? Throw in your own, personal health issues and that complicates matters even more.

That is, ultimately, what I am here to do for you. I listen to you and your health story and history, assess, assign appropriate laboratory testing, reassess, and assign treatment. My treatment includes dietary guidance, stress management, acupuncture, lifestyle medicine, and yes, supplements.

If you want that kind of care and direction, which I do believe everyone needs, schedule an appointment to work with me.

Supplements are excellent sources of nutrients and herbs that bridge the gap between reality and perfect health.

But do please keep in mind that, like medications, supplements do not replace or make up for all of the healthy self-care and self-love practices that REALLY help you live a healthier and longer life (with less fat and more hair and lower cholesterol).

With that said, supplements are great, and can really help to improve your overall health and wellness.

Without taking into consideration anything special or individual about you, without my individualized care, I have created for you a general supplement guide that is appropriate, and effective, for most adults. This is a basic protocol that covers, well, the basics.

Multivitamin

The majority of Americans are deficient in not just one, but a multitude of nutrients. A multivitamin is the cornerstone of all of the basic nutrients that you need and helps to replete and maintain these all too common deficiencies. A high quality multivitamin will include a broad spectrum of both vitamins and minerals that are both bio-available and bioidentical. The quality of a multivitamin matters! Cheap and synthetic forms of nutrients will not improve your health.

Vitamin E (in the form of Tocotrienols)

Vitamin E is another nutrient that is sorely lacking in the American population. It is one of the most powerful antioxidants and, in the recently discovered delta and gamma tocotrienol forms, has been shown to strengthen the bones, improve cellular function, support healthy blood sugar levels, and regulate cholesterol levels. The tocopherol forms of vitamin E have not provided the same health benefits, and can even increase the risk of cancer and heart disease.

The supplements above provide an amazing basic layer of support for you and those you love. While I could go on and on (see my other blog posts!) The above is a solid recommendation to get you started.
