Starting a Supplement Routine | Cameron Excell

About this Podcast:

It would be nice if there were a magical pill that could make us healthy and strong within seconds. Unfortunately, life doesn’t work that way. Whatever type of supplement you’re considering, you need to ensure it’s right for you. Our guest, Cameron Excell, a Health and Fitness Coach, explains everything you need to know about starting a supplement routine.

What to Know Before Starting a Supplement Routine

• Before introducing new vitamins or minerals into your daily routine, consider getting blood work done. Cameron explains that this allows your physician to identify any vitamin deficiencies and recommend the right supplements for your needs.
• He also highlights the key supplements most people should consider, including multivitamins, fish oil, vitamin D, and magnesium, which can help manage stress levels.

Common Questions About Supplements

• Cameron addresses some of the most common questions about supplements:
  • Can you get all your daily nutrients from a well-balanced diet? While a healthy diet is essential, it’s challenging to meet all your nutritional needs through food alone.
  • Is there a one-size-fits-all supplement? The short answer is no. However, a multivitamin may come closest to meeting general needs.
  • Men vs. Women: What’s the difference in supplements? Cameron explains the differences in supplement needs between men and women, highlighting the essential vitamins women require to maintain optimal health.
  • Why is it important to consult a doctor about supplements?
• Starting a supplement routine without consulting a healthcare professional can be risky. Cameron emphasizes the importance of working with your physician to determine the right supplements for you. Your doctor can also help you understand if a supplement has stopped working effectively.

“As much as we wish for a one-size-fits-all solution, like a magic pill that fixes everything, that’s just not how the human body works. It’s always best to seek guidance from a health coach or doctor who can provide personalized advice, treating you as an individual, not just a number.” - Cameron Excell.
