Oh my do I open a can of worms on this episode\\u2026..but it\\u2019s an important topic for many reasons. We do not all need all the things all the time and we do want our regimen to change with our changes needs in most instances. And we can\\u2019t expect a supplement to always get us out of hot water if we continue with habits that don\\u2019t work for us.\\xa0

However, a popular IG account made a reel saying that your body can heal completely without the use of any supplemental support ever, ever. Worse, the tone of the video seemed to imply that if you are relying on a supplement or medication as part of your healing then you aren\\u2019t really doing all the necessary work. I call BS. Total and utter BS.

\\xa0

First, there are situations such as anemia or certain infections as examples where I think a medication or supplement are very, very important as part of healing. Next, there are countless examples of a supplement providing assistance to help you through a tough or challenging health condition such as autoimmunity or a period of ongoing stress - or certainly for female hormone issues like PCOS, endometriosis or perimenopause. The list goes on and I cover instances where an intervention with a medication or supplement may be exactly the right thing and other times when you can likely do it without.\\xa0

But most importantly with this episode I wanted to clear up any notion that you are in any way weak or not doing enough for yourself if you have decided it\\u2019s best for you to utilize a medication or supplement that makes sense for your unique situation. It just isn\\u2019t always possible for all of us to remove all barriers to healing while we aim to live our lives and uphold our many obligations, and I wanted to be sure someone tells you that\\u2019s absolutely OK. LIkely we are all doing our very best right now so no judgment needed for you to do whatever is best for you.\\xa0\\xa0
