Are You Taking the Right Supplements? Masterclass on Creatine, Probiotics, Omega-3 & More

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
