The supplements I actually take as part of my daily wellness routine! As a registered nurse navigating my late 40s, perimenopause, shift work and all the joys of midlife, I’ve become much more intentional about my health. Some of these supplements were recommended based on my bloodwork, including low vitamin D and ferritin, while others I’ve chosen to support my overall wellness, muscle function, relaxation and cognitive health. I’m sharing what I personally use, why I take it and what I’ve noticed along the way. I’m a big believer that supplements should be based on your individual needs, not just what’s trending. Healthy aging is about being proactive, informed and finding what works for you! Medical disclaimer: Although I’m a registered nurse, this is not medical advice. I’m simply sharing my personal experiences. Please speak with your family physician about your individual health needs and whether supplements are appropriate for you, ideally following a medical assessment and appropriate bloodwork. What works for me may not be what your body needs
