The Role Of Supplements In Your Health Journey

At North Laurel, our number one priority is helping our patients get healthy and giving them the tools to stay that way. When it comes to health, there are so many factors. Many of them are lifestyle driven – which is both good news and bad news. The bad news is that it’s possible that some of your health concerns are a result of your own actions. But, the good news is that you have the power to change your behavior and improve your health as a result! In addition to lifestyle changes in diet, exercise, and sleep, we may also suggest incorporating supplements on your health journey. Read on to find out what role they play.

Start With Testing

Many people don’t realize how common it is to have deficiencies in important vitamins and minerals. Even with excellent nutrition, it’s still possible to be missing the ideal range of one or more of these critical nutrients. For example, over 35% of Americans are deficient in Vitamin D! Other common culprits are Vitamin B and Magnesium. We’ll start by running lab tests to get a baseline, and from there we can develop a plan to optimize your levels.

Supplements Support Your Health Journey

Some deficiencies can be improved through diet, but in many cases it’s simply not enough. That’s where supplements come in. Because they are concentrated, measured doses, we can use them to bring levels up more quickly than through food intake alone. When combined with good nutrition, patients can see improvements in their health – and their labs – with proper supplementation.

If you’d like to take some action to improve your health, get started with us. We’ll meet you where you are and give you the tools you need for success. Targeted supplementation plays an important role in the pursuit of health. Let us help you find a routine that works for you.
