In this solo episode, I break down the most common supplements, including vitamin D, omega-3s, creatine, B12, and probiotics. I share what the science really says about their effectiveness, safety, and who actually needs them. I also explain how I use blood test data to make smarter supplement decisions and why testing beats guessing every time.
What I cover:
- Vitamin D and optimal levels
- Who really needs omega-3s
- Creatine’s brain and performance benefits
- Iron, B12, and nutrients to monitor on a plant-based diet
- Magnesium and why most people are low
- How to think about multivitamins and “daily essentials”
- The role of testing in personalising supplementation
- Supplements I take and why
