#83 - Manufactured Multivitamins vs real food with Emma Sgourakis

Do you take a multi?I used to take one every day.That was until I found pro-metabolic eating and realised that a multivitamin wasn't doing anything food couldn't do AND some of the synthetic nutrients I was consuming may have been causing me more harm than good.I feel like they are core to mainstream nutrition and are pushed hard as an insurance policy to get extra nutrients into a shitty diet.When you eat real food you're not consuming single nutrients but rather a range of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and cofactors that work synergistically to allow for optimal use by the body.In this episode I catch up with Nutritionist Emma Sgourakis to talk about why getting nutrients from whole food is a much better option than taking a daily multivitamin.We cover:👉 Two true superfoods that we like to call "nature's multivitamins" ways you can prepare them and other options if you just can't get them or don't like the taste👉 Some of the dangers in taking synthetic vitamins, minerals and trace minerals and how some can deplete the body of other nutrients 👉 The vitamins, minerals and trace minerals you need and what foods you can find them in LINKSPurchase Saturée Pure Oyster Capsules.
