For more info on how I can help you vist my site BetterByDrBrooke.com. If you’ve ever googled a troublesome symptom, then I’m sure you’re getting fed ads for a supplement to fix it. I see it every day posted on social media as people crowd source for solutions or I’m asked on a call with a patient: should I take X for my Y? They’ve heard it’s good for hair loss, weight loss, hot flashes, brain health, energy, etc. so they are wondering if it will work for them, makes sense right?    In this episode I talk about why we need to know why. We need to know WHY our hair is falling out or we are tired in order to choose supplements, protocols and procedures that might help. Most of the time, if a supplement isn’t effective it’s also likely harmless but it can be a waste of time and money to be taking things that don’t address your why. Other times a particular supplement is the absolute wrong thing for your why, yet you have no idea. Still other times you have a clear why for your symptoms based on testing or working with a provider but in the sea of products you’re unsure which one is best for you. I cover the most common supplement questions about hormones, thyroid, hair loss, energy, etc. that I see online or hear in my office on this episode to help you sift through the noise out there.   Products mentioned in this episode:   Essential Amino Acid blend for better energy, building muscles and more save 15% with this link www.getkion.com/bettereveryday.   balance+protect comprehensive nutrient and herbal support for both estrogen and progesterone    clear+normalize nutrient and herbal formula to balance androgen metabolism  Stuff I Know You Will Love Give your body the support it needs to repair and recover everything from joints to skin and hair to your gut lining with Organifi’s Multi Collagen.
