Hello and thank you for joining us on the podcast!

This week we are taking a look at supplements and diving into the many pros and/or cons around taking them as well as the growing supplement market today.

Supplements have become very popular over that last few years not only through being sold at brick and mortar stores but online as well. This massive growth has introduced a large market all claiming to sell you the best product. Unfortunately regulation has not been able to catch up with this rise so it is more important than ever to ask the right questions and research these brands if you are to avoid possible unforeseen complications down the road.

In This Episode You Will Learn:

1). Why as king the question “Are supplements right for you?” is an important question to ask especially now with the market expanding rapidly with very little validity and regulation.

2). How the marketing of supplement companies can try to convince you of a certain product that you will need to “feel better” when in many cases there are more natural ways to be your best healthy self.

3). Some of Meredith’s reasons as to why you would want to consider taking supplements that fit your needs and some tips on how to go about finding the right ones.

4). Why Meredith feels that endorsing supplement companies that offer sponsorships isn’t the right choice for her and why it’s better for you to do your own research when it comes to finding the right brand.

5). Meredith’s tips on how to go about asking if supplements are right for you and the many resources you can look into before making your decision.
