Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition brought to by nutritional weight and wellness.

I am Brittany Vincent, a registered and licensed dietitian, and we want to thank you so much for joining us today as we discuss our top

essential nutritional supplements. We get questions about this often, so I think this will be a

popular show. And I'm sure a lot of you have wondered or thought about taking a vitamin or other type of nutritional supplement only to find yourself even more confused after researching and just questioning, which one should I take?

And there are so many on the market.

I feel like there's just more and more options every day, which makes it

even more difficult to know what you really need. And at nutritional weight and wellness, we really

believe that a food first philosophy is so important. We want to get as much as we can from real food. However, you can't always do that.

And we also believe it's important to mention you can't out supplement a processed food diet, right?

You can think of supplements as just an addition to a diet of real food.

So there are some key supplements we really do feel that are essential for optimal health.

And these are nutrients that we just don't get enough of in our modern day diets.

And sometimes people just want that

assurance that they're getting optimal nutrients. And let's face it, most of us don't eat a

perfect diet. So realistically, it can help to take these key supplements on a daily basis.

Well, I want to welcome my co-host. Joining me today is Monica Haas, and she is also a

registered and licensed dietitian. Welcome, Monica. Thanks, Brittany. Hello. It's great to be

here with you today. And I'm excited about this topic because this topic of key supplements is something that

I get a lot of questions about for my clients. Like you mentioned, there's so many different

supplements out there. I'm always getting asked, what do you think of this supplement? So

definitely a lot of confusion out there. I'm excited to talk about it today.

It's something I prioritize for my health and the health of my clients, my own family.
