If I Had to Start My Health Journey Over, I'd Take These 5 Supplements

About this episode

In this episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz shares the five foundational supplements she would prioritize for better health.

Americans spent more than $69 billion on supplements last year, yet nutrient deficiencies are still widespread. Somewhere along the way, wellness became a cabinet full of pills, powders, and promises. But what if better health isn't about taking more? In this episode, I share the five supplements I would prioritize if I had to start over today. These aren't trendy products or quick fixes. They're foundational nutrients that support metabolism, hormones, muscle, brain health, and healthy aging, especially for women in midlife. You'll also learn why supplements should never replace a healthy lifestyle, how soil depletion and processed foods have changed the nutrient quality of our food, and simple ways to get more of these nutrients through whole foods first. If your supplement routine feels overwhelming, this episode will help you simplify it.
