B Method - Infertility & Supplementation

Hey there…

 

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there are lots of supplements available to take these days. Did you know there are more than 50,000 dietary supplements available today?

 

Everything from supplements to help you lose weight, gain weight, put on muscle, increase metabolism, boost fertility, detox your liver, help with memory… the list goes on and on. If you’ve ever walked into a vitamin store, you’ll know what I mean. There are literally shelves upon shelves of all sorts of different vitamins.

 

Seems like every health and fitness magazine you pick up to read is also promoting some new and exciting, all natural, organic product. Whether that’s a pill, powder, gel, or some form of liquid. Supplement options are endless.

 

So what do you do? What do you take? How do you know what’s best for you and will support your health, fitness, and fertility? That’s what we’re taking a look at here today. After reading this, you will understand what supplements are, which ones are best when it comes to supporting fitness and fertility, and which ones to consider using yourself.

 

Let’s start by first understanding exactly what supplements are, dietary supplements as they’re officially called, and I don’t mean from a long, dragged out, boring scientific approach either. I mean from a practical approach, in a way that makes sense and applies to how you use them.

 

A dietary supplement is intended to provide you with nutrients you may not otherwise be getting sufficient quantities of from how and what you’re currently eating. Supplements can be anything from vitamins, minerals, fiber, fatty acids, and amino acids, amongst many others.

 

As the name suggests, supplements are intended to supplement, not replace how and what you are currently eating. For example, instead of taking a potassium supplement, consider eating more bananas, potatoes, and avocadoes – three foods that are packed with potassium.

 

Same goes for Omega-3 or fish oil, which is usually one of the more common supplements people take. If you’re regularly eating flaxseeds, walnuts, salmon, or halibut, then you’re already getting healthy dosages of Omega-3 in your diet and don’t need to take a fish oil supplement.

 

You can avoid taking most, if not all, supplements simply by following a healthy, balanced, easy to understand, nutritional food plan which I will provide you with below.

The very first thing I suggest doing is scheduling a doctor’s appointment and have a check-up done, which includes blood work.

 

The blood work will tell you what vitamins and minerals you may be deficient in and lacking. Depending on how your vitamin and mineral levels look, your doctor will either suggest eating more of certain types of foods to help boost these levels.

 

If it’s a bigger deficiency, the doctor may at this point recommend taking a supplement to help. If you prefer not to go to the doctors, then one and only supplement I would suggest taking, regardless of how and what you currently eat, is a daily multivitamin.

 

Here’s an example of what that would look like:

Supplements are helpful, but not necessary.
