Shownotes

What supplements should you really be taking, and how do you know if they’re working?

In this episode, host Vicky sits down with Dr. NavNirat Nibber, naturopathic doctor and Medical Director at Advanced Orthomolecular Research (AOR), to unpack the science and strategy behind intentional supplementation.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Understand orthomolecular supplementation and why “the right form, right dose, right delivery, right person” matters
  • Identify early signs of insulin resistance and blood sugar dysregulation before they become bigger issues
  • Use lab testing and self-assessment to guide your supplement plan (think ferritin, B12, vitamin D)
  • Support immune health as we move into fall with protein, co-factors, and lifestyle resets
  • Manage inflammation and metabolic syndrome with small, practical lifestyle shifts
  • Choose the right form of iron, magnesium, and B12 and know when to adjust your dose
  • See why weightlifting, even simple squats after dinner, supports brain, bone, and metabolic health

Dr. NavNirat also breaks down the role of stress, seasonal transitions, and even AI in shaping supplement choices, reminding us that health goals and personal context should always come first.

👉 If you’ve ever wondered whether your supplements are actually helping, or if you even need them, this conversation will give you clarity, direction, and practical next steps.
