#307 | MM - Supplements Won't Cure You
from Alter Life
We've got to admit... it's really quite saddening to see people spending tons of money on supplements in a never-ending hope to feel better. The quest for a pill or potion to make us feel better is not something new, but rather strikes the very core of basic human needs and desires. We all want to feel as healthy and vital as we can for the least possible energy expenditure. But, here's the thing... it's so blatantly obvious that supplements, just like pharmaceuticals, manage our symptoms... at best! Sure, they can be less toxic, more gentle, and therefore safer than pharmaceutical meds, but they still completely miss the mark when it comes to true healing. We know by now that true healing comes from developing a strong foundation of health over time. That means being more mindful of the short and long-term consequences of our moment-to-moment thoughts and behaviors. In this week's episode, we share our passion on this topic, hoping to inspire some clarity and action for your pursuit to more optimal health!

Supplements are called "supplements" because they supplement the foundation of health (food, air, water, movement, rest, state of mind, connection with nature) Supplements may address a nutritional deficiency, but what is causing that deficiency in the first place??? (Vit B12 and Vit D are generally exempt from this conversation) There is nothing wrong with taking a pill, but we must be aware of their inherent limitations When necessary, supplements are more efficacious when used ATOP a strong foundation of health Generally speaking, our money and energy can be much better invested into the quality of food and water we choose to consume Links to some more good stuff - Join Alter Health on Locals: https://alterhealth.locals.com/ - Cleanse with Us during the next Alter Health Cleanse: https://www.alter.health/cleanse - Work with us in the Thrive on Plants program: https://www.alter.health/thrive-on-plants - ATTN Health Practitioners!
