I was reviewing a new supplement that sounds like exactly what I need:

“End Deadly Leaky Gut, Defend Against The World’s Deadliest Diseases. The Last and ONLY Healthy Gut Supplement You Will Ever Need”

It’s from a company that offers great nutrition advice focused on eating whole foods that are nutrient-dense. This is right up my alley, so I watched their video and read through the details. If I take this supplement every morning, I will shed weight and my gut will be healthier than ever. Sounds amazing!

Then Trish and I looked closer at what it actually contains. Magnesium, chromium, tributyrin and a couple of fruit extracts. As great as the benefits sound, we both realized it’s not as good as eating right and won’t make up for a bad diet.

The disappointing truth is that most of us need to make better choices before we consider supplements. Until we are making good choices 80 to 90% of the time, supplements may be a waste of money.

Are you looking for a supplement that allows you to make bad choices?
