Over the years, I’ve loved giving people a glimpse into specific products that I’ve come to love. We live in an information overload age and it can be overwhelming to process all that we read and see. Algorithms can make finding real information tricky and well- don’t get me started on ai! I officially feel old as I ask my kids “is this real?”. As a provider, I can sense the level of frustration when patient’s come into to office with supplement fatigue and a real desire to attain lifelong wellness and longevity! My number one pro-tip is to become your own advocate. You live with your body 24/7- listen to it. My number two pro-tip is to find a trusted provider- this can take time. The healthcare system is so broken…the vast majority of us are doing the best that we can with the time that we have. My number three tip is when you are looking into products, supplements, or brands- be sure to Google “___insert brand name here__ lawsuit”. I recently had a patient share that they were using Vital Proteins collagen and my face told the story (I don’t have a poker face…your welcome!). Let’s face it…health and wellness is expensive…and we’re all doing the best that we can with the information that we have…that’s what I hope to help with here! Life is better when shared. I’m glad you’re here!
