🚨 If you only take two supplements for your health — make them THESE. (Hint: it’s not a multivitamin 👀)

💧 Omega-3s
They protect your heart, brain, and fight inflammation — but MOST people are deficient (and no, you cannot get enough from seafood alone).

☀️ Vitamin D3
It boosts mood, muscle, bone, and hormone balance — yet most people’s levels are way too low for optimal health (and no, you cannot get enough from sunlight alone).

🧬 Want to know exactly what your body needs?
➡️ Test your levels at home with our quick finger-prick kit.

This is the future of healthcare – personalized guidance powered by real lab results from the comfort of your home.

3 Workout Habits That Keep You STUCK
1. Only Doing Cardio
Cardio is great for your heart and helps burn calories — but it doesn’t build muscle, and you can’t out-exercise a bad diet. If you only do cardio, you’re missing out on strength and a faster metabolism.

2. Lifting the Same Weights Every Time
To boost your metabolism and build muscle, you need to challenge your body.
• Push yourself: Aim to stop 1–2 reps before failure (with good form). Adjust based on your experience and comfort level — don’t go from zero to max effort overnight.
• Progress over time: If you lift the same weight and do the same reps every workout for months on end, your body won’t change – it has no reason to, because it can already accomplish the task you are assigning it. Gradually increase the weight every few weeks or add a few extra reps to keep improving.

3. Not Walking Enough
Walking is one of the simplest ways to improve digestion, boost your metabolism, and lift your mood.
If you’re not walking much now, start with 30 minutes a day, ideally after a meal. Over time, work up to 10,000 steps a day (about an hour of walking – a good approach I like to use is 15-20 minutes of walking after each big meal).

🚨 The truth about “fat loss” most people ignore:
When you eat too little, your body doesn’t just burn fat — it burns muscle too.
The scale might drop, but it can’t tell you what you’re losing. 👀

Less muscle = slower metabolism = harder to keep fat off long term.

And about keto…
Most of that “instant weight loss” you see? It’s just water weight, not fat. 💧
When you cut carbs, your body loses water — that’s why the scale drops so fast.

But keto isn’t a long-term solution.
Your brain runs on carbs - and when the carbs come back, so does the water (and the weight).

If you want to actually lose fat — not just “lose weight”:
✅ Track your food and weigh in once per week
✅ Stay in a small calorie deficit (300-500 calories/day)
✅ Book a 1-on-1 Nutrition Coaching call with Kent to stay accountable and get personalized guidance

🌿 Ashwagandha: Powerful, But Proceed With Caution 🌿

Ashwagandha is one of the most popular Ayurvedic herbs — and for good reason. Studies show it may help:
✅ Reduce stress and anxiety
✅ Support better sleep and recovery
✅ Improve focus and energy

But here’s what most people don’t know:
Many Ayurvedic and herbal supplements (including ashwagandha) have been found to contain dangerous levels of heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic. 😬

If you’re just grabbing something off the shelf at a pharmacy, grocery store, or online marketplace, there’s a real risk you’re doing more harm than good.

💡 The only way to protect yourself is to choose products that are third-party tested after manufacturing — ensuring purity, potency, and safety.

For high-quality, professional-grade ashwagandha that we’ve seen work safely and effectively in thousands of patients, visit 👉 nutritionconnectionbalance.com

Your health deserves better than guesswork. 🌱✨

Statins can lower Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) levels in the blood — a key nutrient for energy production (ATP) inside cells. Because the heart is one of the most energy-demanding organs, it contains a high concentration of mitochondria and CoQ10.

When CoQ10 levels drop, ATP production may decline, potentially contributing to common statin side effects such as muscle pain and fatigue. Maintaining adequate CoQ10 supports heart muscle function and helps protect against cellular damage.

💊 Looking for a clean, high-quality option? Our CoQ10 Power (300 mg) provides potent support for those who want to maintain optimal CoQ10 levels — especially important if you’re taking a statin. Visit our website at the link below:

💧 Toxin exposure is more common than you think. We test people every day, and small changes can make a big difference.
Here are 3 ways to reduce your exposure:

1️⃣ Filter your drinking water
Unfiltered water can contain heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic, as well as nuclear metals like uranium and vanadium. A quality filter helps protect your health (test your drinking water first!)

2️⃣ Buy organic for the EWG “Dirty Dozen” (2025 list).
Spinach, strawberries, kale, collard & mustard greens, grapes, peaches, cherries, nectarines, pears, apples, blackberries, blueberries, potatoes. These are the fruits and vegetables most likely to carry pesticide residues – buy these organic.

3️⃣ Choose supplements wisely
Only take supplements that are third-party tested. Most supplements are not regulated before they hit the shelves, and can contain heavy metals, drugs, or hidden ingredients. For safe, effective options, visit:
https://www.nutritionconnectionbalance.com/

Small steps like these can make a huge difference in your everyday exposure to toxins. ✅
