I tried taking 50+ Supplements a day (to improve my health) - did it work?

[@LauraTryUK]

This was a scary video to publish because 'supplements' is a tricky subject and I know there will be many opinions and thoughts about the amount I’m taking/was taking. I want to make it clear, I saw this as an opportunity to do a 12-month experiment. When I get my blood & stool retest done in 2 months, I will report back with my findings. Also, bear in mind, doing this kind of stuff is my job and I feel as though I would have done a dis-service if I did a half hearted experiment. With me doing this experiment and making this video, this isn’t me suggesting everyone needs to do something like this. My hope is that by me doing it, I can find out some stuff then pass it onto you. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the video and gain value from it. With so much conflicting information out there about supplements, I really want to test all this out and see if I could get the bottom of all the conflicting advice. I’m not doctor and don’t have access to a laboratory, but I consider myself a bit of a human guinea pig. I spend my own money on all these tests and supplements, and dedicate a lot of time and energy to working on these projects. So I just hope you can gain value from it, even if you don’t see my point of view. There’s so much information I could have included in this video, but it would have gone on for too long. I will include other stuff as I go along with this series of videos investigating my health with alternative therapies and methods. Much love x

To me the message was clear. I don't see it as an experiment, just a holistic treatment as you explained in the video. It sounds like a lot but you did that with a professional. I think the result/summary video will be very interesting.

My vitamin d was at 19 and my iron was really low, I had all the same problems that you described, I felt horrible most of the days, terrible periods, no energy, felt super depressed and helpless. But, since correcting the 2 deficiencies, I’m a new person, now I feel I can do anything and feel super energised. And this was through a normal GP, we tested 1 month and I went back in 3 months and they were all good, but since that happened 6 months ago I feel that I still getting better everyday, and now that I have the energy, I’m really trying to look after myself, adding exercises, acupuncture, went to a dietitian and a health coach. I cannot even believe that I’m the same person, and how such a thing that was so easy to correct hold me down for so long.

Have you started reading into menopause? I'm 44 and a biochemist, hence i love reading the research, one thing I'm happy to see is that the topic over the last few years sparked some interest, but also was super surprised at how little we know about female physiology and hormones. Over the last few months I've started to pay more attention to my cycle and being able to connect some of the science to my mood, strength and overall wellbeing is quite fascinating (You mentioning anxiety and depression sparked this comment as this is one of the many symptoms of perimenopause that no one talks about) Looking forward your next videos, as always love your approach to your health!

[@sarahbennett9820]

​@@LauraTryUK I went into permenopause at exactly 41. I was on the pill but started getting sweats during the 1 week break. I also started getting painful sacroiliac joint pain. When i stopped taking the pill the sweats disappeared but this was only temporary and returned. A doctor mentioned the menopause and i thought he was being out of order. When i was 42 i had a fertility test as i was making a last ditch attempt to have a baby. There were not enough eggs even to try IVF. It then became obvious that the doctor that i'd scoffed at was right. The sweats continued on and off and then at 49 came the brain fog and that's when i sought out HRT. I'm 52 now and I realise I've been going through this for 11 years. I'd had so much anxiety over those years too. I hope you're not going through this yet, but it is possible. I'm so pleased you're feeling better though :)

Sooo good that you are explaining this! So many people are depleted and malnourished, their body suffers including their mental health.

Thank you for the comprehensive video on this topic! It was fascinating to see the lab results and Phil's recommendations for your supplement plan. As someone who similarly supplements (due to much research after diagnosis of several autoimmune conditions, and with my health care provider's knowledge and agreement, and sometimes her specific suggestions, though she also understands I have an educational background in related topics), I have seen vast improvements in my health and quality of life over the past several years. At 50, I feel like I'm in the best health and condition of my life. In my 20's, getting out of bed for university and then my job was a struggle. Now I hike, backpack, lift weights, garden, and have raised 5 children. Thankful for all there is to learn in this area, and how it can impact peoples' lives for the better, when done correctly! One side note-if you can access your city's water analysis information, you may be able to tell if there is lithium present. This could potentially impact your levels, especially if it's not there, due to the particular water source or how it's treated. I will probably not eliminate my personal supplementation of that unless I move to an area where I know it's present in the water.

And, they only run tests on what is truly needed. Our family of 10 has remained healthy because of options like them. We’re grateful.❤

[@JuliaShevua]

I used to take supplements too (not 51 a day though), but I realized we simply can't know how much of each element our body needs each day, it depends on 1000th of factors. Therefore eating nutrient-dense food is the most safe and natural way for me to eat. The only supplement I take is iodine because we live in the iodine-deficient region. But all other is present in red meat, fat, fish, cheese, eggs...these are all we need really. Anyway, thank you for your work!

[@anniwilson2534]

This was such a great video, LT. I’ve followed your health journey for a while. I was saddened though to hear about your struggle with depression. I’m so glad you kept it in your video as many people feel like that, but mental health is still a bit of a tricky one for folk to open up about. What did shock me was how your standard GP blood test came back normal. How many people must be suffering, as you were, and not have the resources to get professional help. Bloodwork in other countries includes hormone testing, it’s about time the UK caught up. Then people can be given help and control of their health via lifestyle and education. It’s crazy that most people are in that feedback loop of a 10 minute GP appointment and big pharma medication. But some of that is patient-led; folk want a quick fix, don’t want to make changes as you have. Or have the financial resources, so it’s a complex issue. I always look forward to your videos and can’t wait to see your updates - the combination of improved diet, supplements and strength training has transformed you ❤

Laura, you are doing great and you don't need to justify anything to anyone! You have made the intent of this video crystal clear. You could have included a dozen more comments about how you are taking that dose as a result of a blood test or how you have paid for everything yourself and some people would have still been triggered by the amount of supplements you are taking. I am fairly sure most of your recent critics have never found themselves in the physical and mental state that you were in before you decided to make those drastic lifestyle changes. I hope that you will still have the confidence to talk about controversial topics in the future whenever you want to and that you can fight the urge to please everybody. While constructive criticism should always be welcome, you can definitely trust your own judgement to assess whether some people are just overreacting. :)

I find this so confusing. Thinking about it, all your deficiencies seem to stem from low stomach acid. So what caused that? I don’t understand why we should need this much nutrition seeing as the average calorie intake for weight Maintenance and in hunter gatherers is around 2400 to 2000 for a woman. With that many you can only cram in so much high nutrient food. Even if you didn’t eat any junk food at all you will struggle. I know because I too used to use Chronometer. It drove me crazy and I ended up eating too many calories to get all green ticks. I think the recommended goals must be wrong. We all know people who eat a very limited diet but are healthy and happy. Eating more animal protein probably helped your deficiencies but getting enough folate and other micronutrients requires you to eat far more nuts and or leafy greens than is ever seen in any free eating population. Something is wrong there. Same with calcium. To get ‘enough’ you have to eat a ton of dairy. What about the millions who are lactose intolerant? I only take D3 and only recently since I used to live in the tropics. I give my husband krill oil since he won’t eat fish. I have found a lot of supplements (and I have used them) cause bad side effects. Omega 3 made cuts bleed too freely, Creatine gave me awful gastric problems, magnesium can make you sleepy in the daytime. Progesterone makes me dizzy and achy and miserable. It’s not necessarily a free ride. I am deeply suspicious of these people who sell tests and then prescribe supplements and retests and consultations. It’s a business. Also you changed your diet radically over the last year to have a lot more protein and took up weight training. Those two things could explain all the benefits. Basically you changed so many things you can’t really know what was the key change you needed to make. Maybe Phil can enlighten us? Although he doesn’t look too healthy does he?

I had an experience as a kid growing hydroponic basil for fun. This basil sat on my windowsill and within a short time was so big it filled my entire window like a shrub. I had never seen basil grow like that! My mind was blown and I wondered how it was possible. I came to the conclusion that this plant was getting everything it needed in high doses from the fertiliser I was giving it. It was thriving! And it made me wonder ever since, what do humans need to thrive like that? Obviously what we eat must make a huuuuge difference to whether we thrive like the basil in my window or just struggle, like a basil not looked after properly. I do wish I had the money to get a full blood test and advice like this, I think it would be the key to so many things.

Super interesting, thanks for sharing, Laura. Yes, blood testing first, then supplementation. More and more labs are offering testing including extensive recommendations based on your test all over the world.

His findings are truly fascinating and he does have a YT channel, I believe also with content in english.

[@dareangelmusic]

In 2022 I did something here called Nutrition Response Testing. No blood work involved so it is very non scientific but I had to give it a try. They test you in a laying of hands sort of way and then recommend supplements based on their findings. It could just be a sly way to sell supplements. I was taking about half as many per day as you. After 9 months I stopped as though I felt it may have been helping a bit I slid back into my spells. The nutritionist there called me a nutrition superstar based on my diet which I maintain. A year or so later working with my doctors and a new specialist I seem to be making positive progress. Wishing you continued success and well being!

Thanks for such an interesting video on a sometimes confusing topic and I’m glad you’re feeling so healthy now. I’ve always felt okay and had good diet and exercise but I started to add a few extra supplements into my diet about a year ago. Mostly D & K, B6 &12, magnesium, cod liver oil, and creatine. I also added green powder, fibre and a daylight lamp as I get up so early. I’m quite conservative in the dosages but feel amazing now and haven’t any plans to add any more, soon I’ll put the D and the lamp away for the summer as I work outside.

This was really thorough. The supplements I take regularly is Vitamin D and K-2. I was told they really should go hand in hand and I started this because bloodwork showed my D levels as low, even though I do spend time in the sun, my body just doesn't absorb it properly. I have considered taking berberine, because my cholesterol is high and I don't want to start a statin (my body has always just produced a lot, regardless of my weight or diet but the numbers have increased since menopause).

Hi, I had been feeling unwell for many years. It took me some time to save for the blood tests, and I am so pleased I did. It answered so many unanswered questions. You’ll have probably already thought about it, but also bear in the mind the possible cost after the tests for action plans etc. It’s a lot to take in, but we can often find ways to make it work 💫

[@elizabethcalder5617]

Welcome back Laura, I love your videos and hope to see you do more. By the way I went to Phil Richards after watching your video with him. I should be getting my blood results any day now to find out how healthy I am..or not🤔

[@LauraTryUK]

Oh wow! This is huge news! Congratulations for taking the test and taking responsibility for your health. . Prepare for a Transformative Day ahead 💫

[@elizabethcalder5617]

I actually can’t wait, I’m counting down the days! Like you, I feel like I’ve been living under a dark cloud for many years😢

[@turnervideostv1295]

Good luck ! I’m 204 days into my new PR life 💪❤️

[@zlmdragon.]

@@LauraTryUK any points made about cholesterol by PHIL? his view? yours?

[@JohannaDoyen]

This is super helpful and interesting, than you, Laura! When you do the hair tissue mineral analasys, bear in mind, that minerals aren't distributed evenly throughout the body, and that the results of a HTMA can vary from a blood test, without either being wrong. The blood as our circulation and transport system needs to be running properly all the time, -we rely on it with our life- and it is very ph sensitive, and it relies on certain minerals being fairly balanced. So our body will draw minerals from our cells (which hair tissue is a lot closer to ) into the blood if needed, in order to keep us alive. Hence, blood and HTMA results can vary without either being wrong. "The root cause protocol" is pro HTMA, you can find some info about that on their website.

Thanks for all that went into this. Good job.

[@connerhughes1435]

So glad you are mentally and physically better. Theres so much information here, i`m currently on 2nd listen. I`m currently taking a lot of supps for various reasons, now looking at getting a blood test as you suggest.

[@marksephton2333]

Awesome vid, thank you Laura! I'm saving up to get blood tests with Phil. I've definitely been convinced to give this a proper go from your vids.

[@LauraTryUK]

It’s a game changer. For me, I’d say it’s been a life saver.

[@sawdustadikt979]

Great video, a 1 year experiment! One of the pioneers in health and wellness, Paul Chek once said something like, your health is going to cost you at the least financially, you can send that money now on healthy food, exercise and self care now, or you can spend it on Doctors, hospitals and pharmaceuticals later. One of these options has no adverse side effects, the choice has always been up to you. It’s not a big choice, but a series of small choices the add up over time.

Laura is a sweetheart

[@justicealts4230]

HaHa… a calcium supplement ad came on right after you were talking about them! But, great video, I take a fair few supplements ( I’ve studied Naturopathy at uni) but to be honest, it’s still a bit of guesswork. I’d love to get the testing done like you, but I can get a few done by the doctors ( on Medicare) in Australia. Glad to hear you are feeling so much better and I’m also glad how you pointed out that all this advice in this video is over and above the good fundamentals of health. Thanks for this video.

[@justicealts4230]

Oh and I wanted to ask, how old are you, and are you still taking the contraceptive pill?

[@LauraTryUK]

41 and no. I stopped when I was about 32. Cycles never regular after that.

[@LauraTryUK]

Ha! The irony! Thank you for your comment.

[@Gillysmith-g1c]

Brilliant! Thank you Laura. I’m certainly going to look into this. I’ve suffered from fatigue & low mood for years, but no medical reason can be found.

[@LauraTryUK]

Wishing you all the best on your exploration and health 💫

[@nazeeniranfar2616]

….. and so looking forward to the results of he next blood test 🤞

[@MLoms]

Amazing video Laura! Great comprehensive information, with explanation why this sould be done with professional consutation and in combination with healthy lifestyle. ❤

[@David-iu8kc]

Awesome video and thank you for being so honest! I agree with what your doing and yes real food is the main thing and certain supplements can help. It just takes time to see how and what’s working😁 so glad your doing better and feeling better!

[@lovethyneighborasthyself]

Thank you Laura for the great video! I’ve spent soo much money on supplements for years with no bloodwork done. Always just hoping that they’re helping. Getting an analysis is certainly the way to go, as you have shown ever so well. 🙂 Jesus loves you Laura. He is the Way to eternal life. ❤️

[@DianaB4dawn]

On the hair testing, it would be more interesting to compare the results to your last blood test, as in hair you can see how you did over the last year (depending how long your hair is) not how you're doing today.

[@LauraTryUK]

I think I understand your comment. I will make it work and correlate correctly

[@alessandrasciurello5458]

Hi Laura, stopped the pill at 35 exactly like you after 18 years… progesterone is life changing! It actually solved most of my problems. Sadly is very difficult to find a doctor that prescribes it. Female health is so undervalued.

[@debbieg978]

Wow thank you Laura I have felt so crap for so long. I actually think it’s probably the norm. Thanks for the insight. Lucky girl. No price on health ❤

[@LauraTryUK]

I’m pleased you liked the video. Ha, in my case, £4.5k on health 😆

[@shanebrewster2384]

You are amazing! A doll 🥰, so beautiful and intelligent. Your journey is inspiring many. ❤ Keep up the good work. I am a big fan. 👏

[@Britbabe53]

Wow! This was fascinating. In following your various journeys with food and exercise and extreme challenges, I found it amazing that you would have had any deficiencies whatsoever. Makes me wonder if most all of us are just severely clinging on by a thread in the nutrient department. I will be so curious to see how it all improved for you. I have looked up a hair analysis option and I think that would be very interesting to do as a lower cost option to blood testing. Thanks so much for posting this information. I've always been so keen on gathering information regarding health, fasting, nutrition etc and it's just so confusing isn't it with so many differing views and stances. Watching with interest....
