If you’ve ever stood in the supplement aisle wondering which ones actually work, or whether you’re even taking them the right way, you’re not alone. I get questions about supplements every single day. Should you take them with food or on an empty stomach? Does timing really matter? Do they break a fast? And how can you tell if the supplement you’re buying is actually high quality? In this episode, I’m answering some of the most common supplement questions I hear from patients and listeners. We break down what really matters when it comes to getting the most benefit from your supplements, and how to make sure the ones you’re taking are truly supporting your health.
