Our Thoughts on Supplementation... are they Necessary?

In this fortnight’s episode, Nicole and Katie chat all things nutritional supplementation. I.e. vitamins and minerals in tablet or powder form. Are they necessary? What should one take and why? What should one look out for? You should know that this was inspired by a few concerns we have. The first is, the concern that many people are directed towards supplements / vitamins without any dietary advice. We believe in… FOOD FIRST. Supplements ‘supplement’ a good diet. There is no supplement that will work over the top of a terrible diet. Taking all of the pills in the world but still eating rubbish won't help. Secondly, we don’t believe in people rattling. Whilst we do see a time and place for supplements, there is rarely a need to be taking many at a time….. Know what you are taking, why, how long for and what difference you should expect it to make. Oh and… food FIRST. Happy listening! 

Om Podcasten

Welcome to The Happy Apple Podcast, bought to you by me, Katie King aka The Balanced Nutritionist. I live in Brisbane, Australia, but I work via telehealth so I reach people all around Australia and occasionally abroad.The Happy Apple podcast drops monthly, covering a wide variety of health topics but we ALWAYS try to keep the conversation positive and happy. Food should not be a source of stress.... it can be BOTH nutritious and delicious at the same time. I'm here to remind you that healthy food is fun and exciting and its ok to have an apple in one hand and the occasional croissant in the other! We rebranded this podcast in early 2021, so some of the older episodes will be under the old title 'The Nourished Wrap' - all of the episodes are worth listening too, in my opinion.To access my services, you can visit my website. I have a number of different online courses you can do from your own home or you can book a consultation with me. I also offer workplace solutions for corporate wellness.Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show.
