You walk into the pharmacy or health store and there are literally HUNDREDS of supplements promising everything from better sleep to stronger immunity to clearer skin.

Most people with a reasonably balanced diet don't need most supplements. BUT some people DO need specific ones, and that's where testing comes in.

𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐥𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭:
- Vitamin D levels (very common deficiency, especially in less sunny months)
- Iron/ferritin (if you're always tired or have heavy periods)
- B12 (especially if you're vegetarian/vegan or over 50)
- Thyroid function (affects energy, weight, mood)

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 🤔

It's not about your symptoms. It's not about your medications.

𝐈𝐭'𝐬: "𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠... 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲?"

Because here's what I've learned: when people say "I'm fine" while making that face 😬... they're usually NOT fine.

Sometimes what's affecting your health the most isn't a virus or a lab number - it's:
- The stress you're carrying
- The sleep you're not getting
- The grief you're processing
- The anxiety you're managing
- The life transition you're navigating

Your mental and emotional health directly impacts your physical health. They're not separate departments - they're one system.

So when I ask "how are you really doing?" - I genuinely want to know. Not just about your blood pressure, but about YOU.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮: Next time someone asks how you're doing, try giving a real answer. Not to everyone - but to someone safe. Your doctor, a friend, a therapist, someone.

𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐥!

Are you a...?

🌅 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍 - "I'm up before my alarm, ready to conquer the day!"
🌙 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐎𝐖𝐋 - "My brain doesn't turn on until after 10am, but I'm unstoppable at midnight!"

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰! And be honest - not what you WISH you were, but what you ACTUALLY are! 😄

𝐃𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: There's actually science behind this! Your chronotype (natural sleep-wake preference) is partly genetic. Neither is "better" - but fighting your natural rhythm can affect your health. The key is getting quality sleep, whenever that happens for you.

Bonus question: If you could redesign your schedule around YOUR ideal sleep time, what would it look like? 💭
