Author: SHE Changes Everything | Jennifer Klotz, MS, RD & Heather Young, C-IAYT January 29, 2025 Duration: 29:56

You're taking your supplements, but are you taking them the right way? Because here's the truth—how you take your supplements is just as important as what you take.

In this episode, part of our "I Never Knew That!" series, we're uncovering the critical mistakes most people make when it comes to supplement timing, food pairings, and interactions—mistakes that could be blocking absorption, reducing effectiveness, or even causing unwanted side effects.

  • Should you take Vitamin D in the morning or at night?
  • Why do B-vitamins and coffee not mix?
  • Does zinc always make you nauseous? That might be a warning sign.
  • Are you unknowingly cancelling out your Omega-3s?
  • And did you know creatine is just as powerful for your brain as it is for muscles? 

In this episode, you'll discover exactly how to take your supplements correctly so your body can actually use them the way they're meant to. No more guesswork, no more wasted pills—just real, science-backed strategies to help you build a supplement routine that works for you.

Tune in now and learn how to take your supplements the right way—because small changes lead to big health transformations!

Navigating the complexities of health, especially with a chronic condition, often feels like a solitary journey.

The conversation extends beyond diagnosis to explore how nutrition, targeted supplementation, and holistic practices can be woven into daily life to foster genuine wellness. You’ll hear from two practitioners who blend scientific expertise with compassionate, real-world experience, offering actionable strategies rather than quick fixes. This isn't about generic advice; it's about changing the fundamental approach to self-care by addressing the root causes and interconnected systems of the body.
