#83 - Manufactured Multivitamins vs real food with Emma Sgourakis

Do you take a multi?

I used to take one every day.

That was until I found pro-metabolic eating and realised that a multivitamin wasn't doing anything food couldn't do AND some of the synthetic nutrients I was consuming may have been causing me more harm than good.

I feel like they are core to mainstream nutrition and are pushed hard as an insurance policy to get extra nutrients into a shitty diet.

When you eat real food you're not consuming single nutrients but rather a range of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and cofactors that work synergistically to allow for optimal use by the body.

In this episode I catch up with Nutritionist Emma Sgourakis to talk about why getting nutrients from whole food is a much better option than taking a daily multivitamin.

We cover:

👉 Two true superfoods that we like to call "nature's multivitamins" ways you can prepare them and other options if you just can't get them or don't like the taste

👉 Some of the dangers in taking synthetic vitamins, minerals and trace minerals and how some can deplete the body of other nutrients

👉 The vitamins, minerals and trace minerals you need and what foods you can find them in
