Why I recommend supplementing a healthy balanced diet
Regarding the hierarchy of nutritional importance, you can see that supplements occupy a higher point on the pyramid. Suppose you are consuming a diet that contains fewer calories than needed and is not geared towards macronutrient requirements while being low on fibre. In that case, you aren’t likely to be as healthy as you otherwise could be, even with—the use of a multivitamin or protein powder. This tells you that supplements should be the last thing you should consider after everything else has been considered.
I’m not trying to discourage you from supplement use. Still, instead, I’m trying to impose upon you that supplements aren’t the golden key to health or a ‘shortcut’ to replace what’s essential, which is adequate vegetable consumption, a balanced diet including all food groups, sufficient sleep, hydration and daily movement and exercise. If your current diet provides almost everything you need, it needs to give you enough calcium, zinc or vitamin D, for example. This slight imperfection can be ironed out through targeted supplement use, complementing, and completing the whole.
I have an ethical responsibility to my clients and followers to be transparent and honest by advising based on evidence and up-to-date research on what is required for good health and fat loss. As you can appreciate, many supplements are available to consumers, and not all of them will be as effective as potentially cleaned. Not only that, but effective supplements may not be something everyone should look to use because the application of supplements should be specific. As such, when talking about supplements to others, the whole picture must be communicated- those who work with others in a coaching capacity need to bear this in mind.
As a result, it’s unethical of me to sell supplements directly to clients but to work with a reputable, professional and medically trained partner. Based on this, I work with Oonagh O Hagan, Pharmacist and owner of the family-run business Meaghers Pharmacy.
As a nutritionist, I look at hundreds of thousands of clients’ food logs, and daily food intake has included the top 5 food supplements I frequently recommend when assessing deficiencies. Again I stress that this is not a one size fits all, and feel free to contact Oonagh or a member of her team or your medical Clinician to advise on your individual needs.
