The supplement cupboard that made me stop and think
A client recently laughed as she opened her kitchen cupboard.
"I don't even want to tell you how much money is in here."
Inside were bottles of supplements she'd collected over the last two years.
Some she'd seen on Instagram.
Some had been recommended by friends.
Others she'd bought because she thought,
"It can't hurt."
When you're trying to conceive, especially after loss, it's completely understandable.
Doing something feels better than doing nothing.
But more doesn't always mean better.
Sometimes it means confusion.
Sometimes it means spending hundreds of pounds on products your body doesn't actually need.
Sometimes it even means nutrients competing with one another for absorption.
One of the biggest shifts I see in my clients isn't adding more.
It's finally understanding why they're taking something.
Every recommendation should answer a simple question.
"What problem are we trying to solve?"
If there isn't a clear answer, it's worth asking whether it belongs in your routine at all.
Preparation shouldn't feel like throwing everything at your body and hoping something works.
It should feel like a carefully thought-out plan.
That's what creates confidence.
Not a cupboard full of bottles.
If your supplement cupboard is full but you're no longer sure what's actually helping, let's simplify it with a plan that's built around your body.
