Summary

Episode Summary:

In this episode, I'm sharing the supplements I take in this season of life—and why I take them. I'll walk you through my non-negotiables, seasonal support, and individualized tools, plus offer thoughts on how to choose what's right for you instead of being swayed by supplement trends on social media.

You'll hear a bit about my background in the supplement industry, the role of personalized data (like gut testing), and how I approach this area of wellness with intention—not overwhelm.

💊 Supplements I Mentioned:

These are the ones I take consistently and recommend looking into with a practitioner:

🔹 Omega-3

🔹 Magnesium Glycinate

🔹 B-Complex

🔹 Probiotic (can't tell ya!)

🧪 Want to test your gut first? I highly recommend the GI-MAP test

(the code ELIZABETH will save you 10% on your GI Map)

🔹 Protein Powders I Rotate:

Amare Fit20 (when available!)
Ballerina Farm Farmer Protein
Kid-approved protein (clean enough & tasty!)

🔹 Vitamin D with K2

🔹 Non-Prescription Progesterone Cream

🧠 In This Episode, We Cover:

My background in supplement formulation and education
Why omega-3s are essential (even if you eat fish)
Magnesium glycinate vs. other forms
What B-complex really supports (it's not just energy!)
Why I never leave my gut health to chance
How I use progesterone cream (plus signs it may be needed)
Seasonal support: when and why I take D + K2
Why less is often more when it comes to supplementation
The danger of copying someone else's stack
How to think critically about what you need

📌 Quick Reminder:

Just because something works for me doesn't mean it's automatically right for you. Use this episode as a framework to ask better questions—not as a list of things you "should" buy. The best supplement is the one that supports your specific needs in your current season.

0:07.1	Consistent, a podcast by Primal Potential that is for all of you who feel frustrated by your lack of
0:13.3	progress or overwhelmed by all the change that you want to make in your life. Here, we stop frantically

0:22.6	strategically building a structure of consistency. Let's get into it.
0:29.0	Hello, everybody, and welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton.
0:36.0	And if you don't mind, we are going to get a little bit
0:40.8	in the science again today. Some of you guys know this. I would say maybe most of you guys know
0:47.0	that before Primal Potential, my corporate job before that was in the supplement industry.
0:56.1	First in marketing, then in product development. I worked really closely with our science team so that we could create cutting-edge
1:00.5	formulas. I worked on educating the field about our products. And so when I talk about supplements
1:06.8	today, I'm not just talking about from my schooling educational background in nutrition. And I'm not just talking about from my schooling educational background in nutrition,
1:11.6	and I'm not just talking about from my own experience or my experience with clients or my passion,
1:16.6	but also working as an industry insider for a lot of years in a behind-the-scenes type role.
1:26.8	I want to share with you the supplements that I am taking religiously in this season of life,
1:34.6	and I want to talk about why I'm taking them and some of the red flags that I see and sort of
1:41.2	big picture red flag right off the bat because it'll be hard to not just
1:45.5	launch into a hot rant on this one. Oftentimes my girlfriends will text me and God bless him.
1:51.3	I hope that they continue to text me, but they'll be like, have you seen advertisements for
1:54.7	such and such supplement? I feel like I can see it everywhere. Every influencer is talking about
1:59.2	this. Like should I take this? Do you think it's
2:00.9	worth it? And I have friends who will just buy random supplements because of something they saw
