They&#8217;re not miracle pills. They won\u2019t fix a poor lifestyle. But for some people, especially those of us over 40, they can absolutely help support energy, recovery, sleep, bone health, gut health, and muscle-building.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m going to walk you through the supplements I personally take, why I take them, and what I recommend to my DTF coaching clients. You\u2019ll also get guidance on what to avoid and when you might be wasting your money.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Supplement at All?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we get older, a few key things start to happen:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>We absorb nutrients less efficiently<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Our recovery slows<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Sleep becomes more elusive<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Our joints and connective tissue need more support<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Muscle mass starts to decline unless we fight to maintain or build it<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You <em>can<\/em> get most of what you need through a well-balanced diet\u2014lots of colourful veg, lean protein, healthy fats, and unprocessed whole foods. But let&#8217;s be real: modern life isn\u2019t always that tidy.
