Ep. 022 Supplements, Meal Replacement Shakes & Sponsorships
A couple weeks ago, one of you guys asked me about meal replacement shakes and what I think about them. I have a strong opinion on these and thought it was about time we talk about this! I put this episode together for you, to share my professional recommendation and opinion on these topics. My hope is that I share a different perspective so you can go forward with better informed decisions!
Here’s the thing you need to know about supplements, they are not regulated by anyone, so the makers can put anything they want into them. Because of this, I am very careful about which supplements I take. I recommend Keratin (any kind- find one that works for you), protein powder (my favorite is from Costco), and vitamins that you find necessary for your body. You can overdo it on vitamins and supplements, so please make sure you look into what’s in them and if your body even needs them.
If you listened to episode 21, you heard me talk with Nora about her weight loss journey and how it started with meal replacement shakes. These meal replacement shakes gave Nora the disordered eating habits she ultimately developed. Overall, I don’t recommend taking out an entire meal everyday and replacing it with a shake.
In this episode, I go into detail about how network marketing/MLMs work. This is important so you understand how people make money from you buying their shakes or supplements. This is the reason why they are pushing their products on you (or a high chance, at least). Just be aware of the the person’s intent when selling you their company’s products so you know why they are selling.
There are two very important questions to ask yourself before you buy something from someone who seems to be sponsoring a product or service. Do I want this thing because I want to be like this person or do I want this thing because it will better me? Be aware of your desire and where it’s coming from. I product or service will never make you more like another person- you have to be willing to do the work!
I’m so glad I could share this episode with you! Let me know what you think!
