An Integrated Approach to Supplementation

During the last quarter of 2025 I told many of the women in the ICW community along with the women I coach that 2026 would be the year of Fiber and Creatine! Now, here we are as the on-line and social media world begins to swirl around these two essential nutrition tools. 

As Integrated Catholic Women it is important to know WHY we want or need to focus on particular nutrients or supplements. As a board certified health coach, part of my daily work includes reading articles, posts, blogs and studies related to the supplements and health trends that affect women in our community and the women I coach. There's a TON of information out there and it can be difficult and very time consuming to sort through it all.

Before it all becomes too overwhelming take a moment and ask yourself a questions like: 

+ Why is this supplement important for me at this time in my life or my wellness journey?  

+ Am I able to supplement with food instead of an extra supplement? If so, what would that look like for me?

+ Am I using the supplement because I am not ready, able or willing to use other strategies to improve my health? 

+ Does this supplement support my wellness vision or my current wellness plan? 

+ Can I afford to purchase this supplement for at least 6 months? 

+ Am I taking my current supplements consistently? 

+ Will this supplement work well with what I am already taking?

After you ask the questions - reach out to your practitioner and/or your health coach and ask if this supplement could help or hinder your progress?

Asking yourself these questions and expanding your discussion with trusted professionals can help you reach an intentional decision that supports your current wellness goal. Most importantly, taking time to consider the answers to these questions can bring some peace to your decision.
