Rethinking Your Supplement Routine – Nutriamed Featured in New Jersey Lifestyle Magazine
Nutriamed is proud to once again be featured in New Jersey Lifestyle Magazine, this time in “Beyond The Hype,” an article exploring how to take a more thoughtful approach to vitamins and supplements.
Written by Dr. Samar Bursheh, endocrinologist, lifestyle medicine physician and founder of Nutriamed, the feature also highlights Alison Strittmatter, CNS, CDCES, Clinical Nutritionist, Exercise Physiologist & Women’s Health & Lifestyle Specialist at Nutriamed, reflecting the multidisciplinary expertise behind Nutriamed’s approach to nutrition, metabolism and long-term wellness.
When More Isn’t Necessarily Better
Walk through a supplement aisle or scroll through social media and you’ll find products promising support for everything from energy and sleep to metabolism, immunity and hormone balance.
But taking several supplements doesn’t necessarily mean your body is getting what it needs.
As Dr. Bursheh discusses in the New Jersey Lifestyle feature, vitamins and supplements should be approached thoughtfully. Factors such as dosage, timing, absorption and potential interactions can all influence how a supplement affects the body.
That’s why one of the central messages of the article is simple: test rather than guess.
Individual needs can vary based on diet, lifestyle, age, lab values, medications, absorption and other factors. Understanding those needs can help determine where supplementation may be beneficial and where it may not be necessary.
Building From a Stronger Foundation
Supplements are only one piece of a much larger picture.
Nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management and other daily habits all contribute to metabolic health and overall well-being. A supplement may help address a particular need, but it isn’t intended to take the place of those foundations.
This is also why a personalized approach matters. Rather than starting with a long list of vitamins or the latest trending product, it can be more useful to first understand what’s happening within your body and consider where targeted support may fit.
What Should You Know About Common Supplements?
In “Beyond The Hype,” Dr. Bursheh takes a closer look at several commonly discussed vitamins, minerals and supplements, including vitamin D, magnesium, vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, collagen and turmeric.
She also discusses why the form and quality of a supplement can matter, how nutritional needs can differ from person to person, and why combining numerous ingredients isn’t always the most effective approach.
