Description

In this episode of The Fit Positive Podcast, I’m breaking down which supplements are actually worth taking in midlife — and which ones you probably don’t need.


We’ll cover:

  • Why the food first approach always comes before supplements

  • The key nutrients highlighted by Dr. Stacy Sims & Dr. Vonda Wright

  • My personal daily supplement line-up (and why I take them)

  • How electrolytes, collagen, and fibre fit into the mix

  • The Fit Positive method for keeping it simple and sustainable
