A daily multi to cover your nutritional bases seems like a good idea right? Our soil is depleted, our life is depleting and many of us are dealing with some sort of chronic issue, making extra support something to think about. On the flipside, many are dealing with supplement fatigue and it’s worth talking about if a multi is worth it at this stage in your health and healing. As well, some women’s multis are severely lacking in what women need yet others are full of things you do not need. In this episode I talk about what to look for in a multi that that suits your hormones and health goals.
In this show I talk about my women’s multi that includes optimal doses of what women need for blood sugar balance, better energy, brain health, optimal aging and hormone balance. I put my balanced+beautiful multi on sale this weekend only with code BEAUTIFUL15 at checkout.

Did you know that 95% of women taking a prenatal are still nutrient deficient? The founders of Needed saw this as a big problem and I couldn’t agree more! But Needed quickly became a bigger solution to a bigger problem by providing more options for moms and moms to be. Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don’t address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times. Needed solved all of these problems as well as created a community of no-guilt, education and support for new moms and moms to be.
