The Best Daily Supplements for Better Health and Energy in Midlife

Life after Kids with Drs. Brooke and Lynne

In this phase of life, it’s not uncommon to feel a little more drained or worn out than you once did. Loss of energy can be due to many things, but very often, it’s as simple as not getting the proper nutrients from our diet. Therefore, it’s important to prioritize supplements for optimal health in midlife. On today’s episode of Life after Kids, we’re discussing the best daily supplements for better health and energy in midlife.

Key Takeaways:

1. Physical health is essential for pursuing purpose and finding fulfillment in this stage of life.
2. While whole foods are ideal, supplements are necessary due to time constraints and nutrient depletion in modern food.
3. Be sure to purchase supplements from reputable companies that do 3rd party testing. Quality matter when it comes to supplements.
4. The top supplements to prioritize are magnesium, omega-3s, vitamin D, probiotics, and turmeric.

In Life after Kids, we’re seeking more purpose, meaning, fulfillment, and ways we can share our strengths with the world, but if we don’t prioritize our physical health, we likely won’t have enough energy to pursue all that we want to do now that the kids are grown. For this reason, it's necessary to supplement our diets with high quality nutritional supplements. Listen to this week’s episode of Life after Kids to learn more about the best supplements to take daily for overall health and well-being.
