I was talking to a friend this week. He knows that I caution against taking supplements long-term. Since he works with several supplement companies, my message appears to directly conflict with what he hears from them.
You might feel the same.
Why does “everyone” recommend using a supplement to deal with a symptom … except me??!!
Assuming there isn’t a conflict of interest …
… they do support their families’ lifestyle selling supplements …
… there are times where supplementing makes sense.
He said “I take magnesium every night before bed. That would be an exception … right?”
Wrong!
Why do you need magnesium every night to sleep? There are signs of mineral deficiency that clearly indicate magnesium would help …
… but if you take it all the time, your body’s ability to maintain normal mineral balance will diminish. And, it will be difficult to determine what is causing the problem.
And, if your body is not functioning properly, it probably isn’t able to use the magnesium you’re supplementing with. So, where do the supplements go that can’t be assimilated?
Where does food go when it isn’t used to create energy? You can look around your body and see some visible signs … but there’s even more storage happening that you can’t see!
At the risk of sounding like a broken record …
… supplementing is not much different than taking prescription medication. It IS suppressing symptoms and making it more difficult to address the root cause of the problem.
And, that’s what you want. Right??!!
When the root cause of the problem is resolved, your body will function properly.
You’ll …
- Sleep soundly
- Manage weight easily
- Digest food … even the occasional cheat
- Eliminate toxicity
… restore energy.
What if you could turn down the noise inside your body quickly? So that you could hear the messages it’s trying to send you.
It would be easy to identify what is really causing the problem … your Kryptonite.
We do that with a Human Energy System Reboot.
And …
… if you really need or want to take a supplement you believe is supporting your health goals, it will work better because there will be much less internal debris diluting its power.
The Reboot will take care of a lot of deferred maintenance and clean-up.
So, before you drop several hundred MORE dollars on expensive supplements, initiate a reboot. It’s a fraction of the cost of those supplements you’re taking and anyone can do it.
Give me a week and I’ll show you what’s possible when you become your “primary care person.”
Everyone needs a reboot.
Until next week …
Be Well!
