118. My Top Supplements for Maintaining My Body and Health At Age 43

Today’s episode is all about supplements - those trusty aids that really can positively impact your fitness journey! Honestly, the majority of supplements I currently use I have been for awhile. I’m a creature of habit and don’t change up my routine too often..especially if I’m using something and it’s working well for me.

I want to share more about my top picks for supplements (like why they’re actually beneficial), and why I personally enjoy taking them.  

Just like with anything I share, I’ll always be transparent and authentic about what I’m doing. I’m not super strict about my supplements, and have learned to change and adapt when necessary as my body changes, as I get older, etc.

While supplements can be incredibly beneficial (and I do believe they’re more needed now), it’s vital that you find what works best for YOUR unique health and fitness needs - it won’t look exactly like mine, or someone else’s.

Wherever you are with your fitness journey, I hope this episode gives you some valuable insights on supplements, and of course, optimizing your body for long-term health and wellness!
