Which supplements do you recommend? Do they really work? How do you identify which brands are good quality?

With so many supplement options available, it can be hard to sift through the noise and find the ones that make sense for you. Plus, just because something is natural doesn’t automatically mean it’s safe.

For over ten years, I’ve worked to hone in on the most beneficial supplements, and today I’m sharing the top ten supplements I recommend for most women. I’ll discuss the right way to think about supplements, what you can expect from each one, how and when I use them, and which brands are worth it. Enjoy the episode!
