“Trust Yourself: Listening to Your Body Before You Pop a Pill”

Intro:
It’s easy to feel like more is better — but mindful supplementation is key.
The Journal of Nutrition (Hathcock, 2014) warns that unnecessary high doses of supplements can lead to toxicity or nutrient imbalances.

Body:
A 2020 Nutrients review (Mason et al., 2020) shows that excessive supplement use can sometimes mask underlying health conditions that need medical attention.
Instead, experts recommend listening to your body and consulting a healthcare provider to check for real deficiencies before adding new products to your routine.

✅ Tips:

• Keep a daily wellness journal to observe how you feel after adding or removing a supplement.

• Schedule regular blood tests to detect nutrient gaps accurately.

• Focus on balanced meals first; supplements should fill the gaps — not replace your diet.

Closing:
True wellness means respecting what your body really needs. Listen first, supplement wisely — and enjoy a healthier, balanced life.
