Do I Need Supplements? (Part One)

A very common question that comes up a lot is - "Do I need to take supplements? Why can't I just get all my nutrients from foods?"

Theoretically yes, we should be able to get everything we need from our diet and lifestyle. I mean, cavemen didn’t take supplements did they? Well, during paleolithic times there weren’t flaming hot Cheetos and Twinkies either.

This episode covers:

16 different underlying reasons for nutrient deficiences/higher nutrient demands
why you don't want to buy the cheapest supplements
the supplement form and quality matters - a lot!
some signs of deficiencies
