Not Feeling It Today? – Listening to Your Body Before You Pop a Pill

Many people build a daily supplement routine with the best intentions, but what if your body is telling you it needs a break? Supplements can help fill nutritional gaps, but they shouldn’t replace your body’s signals.

A 2021 review in Frontiers in Pharmacology highlights that some nutrients can accumulate if overused, leading to mild but noticeable side effects like nausea or headaches. Taking a mindful approach means pausing and tuning in to how you feel before you reach for your next dose.

Ask yourself:
✨ Did you eat a nutrient-rich meal today?
✨ Are you feeling any discomfort that might be linked to your supplements?
✨ Have you checked with your healthcare provider about the best dosage for you?

Supplements are just that — a supplement to an already balanced lifestyle. By listening to your body first, you give it the respect it deserves. Some days, less really is enough.
