In this episode of Renegade Remission , we explore how supplements work biologically, why some people experience major improvements while others feel no difference at all, and why the answer often has less to do with the supplement itself than the condition of the systems it’s entering into. Using Dr. Bruce Ames’ influential Triage Theory as a foundation, we unpack how even mild nutrient insufficiencies can affect energy production, inflammation, immune regulation, mitochondrial function, and long-term repair processes throughout the body. From there, we break down the deeper science of supplementation, including nutrient bottlenecks, absorption issues, gut health, nutrient interdependence, and why more supplements do not necessarily lead to better outcomes. In this episode, you’ll understand: Why supplements sometimes help dramatically, and other times do very little How nutrient deficiencies can create hidden bottlenecks in the body Why absorption and gut health matter just as much as what you take The difference between isolated nutrients and whole-food-based supplementation How to approach supplements more strategically and less reactively Listen now to understand what actually makes supplements effective—and how to support your body in a way that is more targeted, balanced, and biologically grounded.
