Simple Supplementation

 If you’re looking for the basic supplementation for improved wellness, here’s a basic three we start our new clients with

1. Multivitamin 
2. Fish oil
3. Vitamin D

The multivitamin really helps protect you on days when your nutrition isn’t the best.  If you’re not hitting those five or six veggies and fruits, your multi will fill in. Don’t offer think this.  Yes, there’s some that better than others. You do get what you pay for.  But the differences between an expensive multi and a cheap one might not be as big as they make you think. Just like with proteins, start with what you can afford and what you’ll actually take

There are now countless studies showing the many benefits of fish oil. Joint function and pain-free movement.  Mood. Gut health. Brain function. Heart health. The only really compelling reason not to take it is an allergy.

The key is to get 2-4 grams.  Anything less than 2 grams doesn’t give you enough benefit. And the best fish oils are the ones that don’t have ethel esters- this comes down to how it’s processed.

Vitamin D is used in so many cellular processes. According to a leading researcher, you need to supplement vitamin D unless, you live south of Atlanta AND spend the equivalent of 45 minutes naked in the sun each day.

Plan to take 2,000 IU everyday, and double that (or just buy the 5,000) in the winter.  We’ve had clients get tested via their healthcare professional, and subsequently need a stronger amount from the pharmacy.  One even called it her Popeye spinach!

If you’re deficient, you must take extra to recover your levels.  You can find vitamin D in capsules or liquid droppers. Choose what works best for you

Improving your wellness with supplements takes a little bit of time to allow your system to acclimate, but it’s worth it. 

• the next level of supplements may include probiotics, creatine, and magnesium depending on your levels and your goals

Simple Nutrition

Nutrition can be confusing. Yahoo articles and morning talk shows are always telling you what fad diet is in or out. They constantly contradict themselves and each other. It can be like trying to find the winning briefcase on that millionaire show.

Here's what most people do know- You can't wake up to coffee and pastries, followed by fast food lunch and pizza and beers for dinner. Not if you want to look and feel fit.

We've created a few simple rules, or steps, for our clients to follow. If you can do this, you'll have a SIMPLE and quality nutrition plan.

1. Drink half your body weight in ounces of water.

2. Eat your proteins- half your body weight in grams for females and three quarters of your body weight in grams for males

3. Eat healthy 90% of the time, but cheat guilt-free 10% of the time.
