Targeted Supplementation
Do We Really Need Supplements?
In a straightforward manner–it depends what kind of quality of life you want to have.
Every week, we witness numerous individuals facing not just hormonal imbalances, but more crucially, chronic deficiencies in the fundamental building blocks of health: vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, amino acids, and many more. These essentials are non-negotiable for our bodies to mend, rejuvenate, and function optimally, enabling us to effectively handle the daily stresses of life. Without them, our bodies start to break down from the wear-and-tear and end up in a condition we call “getting old”.

Unveiling The Truth:
The Myth About Nutrition
From Food
It’s a common belief that our nutritional needs can be met solely through diet.
Regrettably, the blunt truth is this: scientific evidence has left no room for doubt that over the past century, our planet’s soils have witnessed a staggering decline of more than 80% in micronutrient levels. Please take a moment to pause and reflect on this fact. This means that even when we strive to consume “organic” produce, the reality still remains – our meals deliver a mere 20% of the nutrient richness that our ancestors just 100 years ago enjoyed.
The New Equation Of Nourishment: A Greater Demand For Modern Bodies
In today’s world, the equation has shifted dramatically. Modern humans find themselves consuming 2-3 times (or even more) the amount of food our ancestors required for their basic needs. While our individuality remains, the biological principles governing our bodies are all the same. We all require oxygen, share the ability to bleed, and also share the universal necessity for essential vitamins and minerals. These fundamental elements are key to optimizing our bodily functions and managing the natural effects of aging.
For perspective, here are just a few examples of of how our ancestors of the past lived:
- Pure, Unadulterated Nutrition: Our ancestors sourced unprocessed wild foods through hunting and gathering.
- Natural Movement: Their lifestyle naturally involved physical activities such as hunting, gathering, and building, ensuring regular exercise.
- Nature's Elixir: They enjoyed clean and mineral-rich water, nurturing their bodies with essential minerals and trace elements.
- Harmonious Sleep: Abiding by natural rhythms, they indulged in 8-9 hours of sleep, resting at sunset and rising with the sun.
- Toxin-Free Environment: Their surroundings were devoid of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and harmful electromagnetic fields (EMFs).
- Resilience Through Fasting: They endured prolonged periods of famine (fasting) and scarcity.
Here’s the truth: our ancestral and contemporary worlds are vastly different. No individual on this planet today lives anywhere near the lifestyle of our forebears. The average person today spends more than 50% of the day sitting, consuming lab-engineered food that is not only astronomically high in calories, but nutrient depleted and toxin lazed.
Unless you’re cultivating your own food, tending to an untainted garden, accessing pure mineral-enriched water, embracing ample sunlight, sidestepping EDCs & EMFs, while grounding ourselves on a daily basis– essentially, if you live in a bustling metropolis – then supplements are an unequivocal requirement for you.
