In this episode, Helena dives into one of the most common health questions: “Do I really need supplements?” With her signature blend of expertise and humor, she explains why supplements are non-negotiable for thriving health—even if you eat clean and exercise regularly. From magnesium’s role in energy production to the hidden dangers of blue light at night, this episode will change how you think about health optimization forever.
Key Points Covered:
The Big Question: Do You Really Need Supplements?
Many people believe they can get all their nutrients from food—but this isn’t realistic due to modern challenges like depleted soils.
Supplements aren’t “artificial” just because they come in capsules—they’re essential tools for filling nutritional gaps.
Magnesium: The Forever Supplement
Magnesium is critical for energy production—without it, your body can’t efficiently create or use energy.
It’s also essential for melatonin production, which regulates sleep and recovery.
Blue Light vs Supplements—A Health Perspective
People often reject supplements as “unnatural” while ignoring harmful habits like exposing their eyes to blue light at night.
Blue light exposure creates a stress chemical environment that disrupts sleep and impacts overall health.
The takeaway? Context matters—supplements are far less concerning than unaddressed harmful habits.
Supplements for Peak Performance
For those seeking higher levels of fitness or recovery, it’s impossible to achieve peak performance without supplementing strategically.
Supplements support recovery and adaptation after exercise while filling gaps in nutrition.
Rethinking Health Priorities
Instead of fixating on whether supplements are “natural,” focus on how they fit into the bigger picture of optimizing your health.
Supplements aren’t just powders or pills—they’re vital tools for thriving in today’s world.
