Supplements Decoded

With so many to choose from and varying opinions, it is difficult to know where to look for reliable, evidence-based information about supplements. Some of the questions that patients often ask are: How do I know which brands are good quality? Where should I shop for my supplements? Can (insert whatever supplement) be taken with my medications? Can I take multiple supplements at once or should I take them at particular times of the day? How long do I have to take a supplement? The questions can go on and on.

This brings us to our blog series Supplements Decoded. Over the course of the next several weeks, we will provide insight on dietary supplements that will enable you to make informed decisions when faced with the wide variety of supplement options currently on the market. 

One of the principles of Naturopathic medicine is Docere (Doctor as Teacher) and we at Flourish and Balance Integrative Medicine believe in taking the time to share information that encourages our patients to take an active role in their health and wellness. So please do your research and keep asking all of the questions! We also recognize that staying up to date on information about supplements (from trusted sources) and sharing that information with our patients is a part of our job and the commitment we make to your health and wellbeing. We are excited to go on this journey with you and to answer your questions so feel free to comment here or reach out to us at info@FlourishandBalance.com. 

In health,

Dr. Safiya
