Hey you, this is episode 253 and today we're chatting about supplements.

Everything I look for in supplements, what supplements I'm taking, what I recommend for others,

where to find it in real food, and so much more.

Okay, back in, I think it was 2016-ish, 2017, I made a video about how many supplements I was taking and at the time I was seeing an

orthomolecular doctor whom I now do not trust it all and oh my gosh what an event that all was but he had me

on like 80 different supplements and I remember making this YouTube video like

and this is this supplement for this and this is this supplement for this and I got to like the 30th supplement and I was like guys I don't even know what the supplement is for I think I have a supplement problem

And that was really the beginning of my resistance against constantly relying on all these crazy supplements to do these crazy things for my body.

Now, when we are very, and my new doctor whom I really trust who's amazing

says like you're in the past I was part of the walking sick and the walking sick is interesting

because like from everyone's eyes and even from some of your blood panels if you don't have a great doctor and you know from your friends and family they say like yeah they're relatively healthy but if you go to a good

doctor that understands levels and what to look for you know you might have mild

inflammation and then your thyroid is a little bit off and your minerals are low

and this creates this unhealthy feeling like

you're waking up every day in pain or you have a headache every day or sugar cravings every

day or pain in the afternoon or you're very sleepy in the afternoon

da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da.

Now this isn't sickness, you're not dying of a disease but you're also not feeling well and the problem with our health care

I can't remember where I heard this but I really loved it is like the 80-20 rule of all

my health issues 80% of them I want to be able to feel empowered enough that I can figure it out myself and that I can use holistic practices, essential oils, energy healing, chiropractic, you know, vitamins, minerals, those sorts of things like things that I have control over, massage, going outside, going swimming, you know, changing up my eating. going I just cut my finger off I need to go to ER. Like of course no amount of essential oil

is going to tape a finger back together. So we need to understand the health care system

that we have is great. If you have a heart attack a billion percent you want to be in a hospital.
