When you’re trying to reduce the number of medications you take, starting supplements might seem counterintuitive.
There’s also a lot of negative press about supplements being “snake oil” or unnecessary if you’re eating a healthy diet. While this can be true for some, others have health conditions that could benefit significantly from natural, high-quality supplements.
Ultimately, it all comes down to what’s happening beneath the surface to cause your symptoms.
Here are some reasons why supplements might be necessary alongside a healthy diet and lifestyle:
- Supporting natural functions as you age
- Managing high external stressors
- Dealing with a toxic environment and products
- Addressing genetic factors
- Compensating for low-quality foods
Most supplements consist of herbs and other natural compounds that have strong scientific support and have been used globally throughout history. It’s important to thoroughly research what’s in your supplements and where they are sourced from, and to work with a qualified practitioner who conducts comprehensive, individualized testing.
