Supplements: what works, what doesn't, and what's a waste of money
No Forking Nonsense - The Nutritionist UKShow Notes
Fancy a chat? CLICK ME. The UK supplement market is worth well over a billion pounds a year, and most of what's in your cupboard is doing nothing. Not all of it, though. A small number of things genuinely work and are worth your money. The trick is knowing which, and almost every article you've read on this was written by someone selling something. So: no affiliate links, nothing to sell you, and I'll tell you which ones I take myself. In this episode:
The short list of supplements with real evidence behind them, and what each one actually does Vitamin D, and why the UK government position on it is different from everywhere else, and what that means between October and March Creatine: the most researched supplement there is, why the loading phase is unnecessary, and why the hair loss thing traces back to one small study Protein powder, which is food rather than a supplement, and when it's worth buying Where a multivitamin does and doesn't make sense The ones that only work if you're deficient, and how to know whether you are The big money-wasters: fat burners, detox products, greens powders, collagen, and anything sold on "supports" rather than "does" Why the word "supports" is doing so much work on that label How to read a label so the marketing stops working on you When a supplement is genuinely worth taking, and the situations where testing beats guessing@paulthenutritionist

YOUR FREE MEAL DEAL CHEAT RESOURCE Intermittent fasting is either praised as a miracle cure for fat loss or dragged as a glorified eating disorder. Most of what you’re being fed is complete marketing garbage.

No bias. No corporate sponsors. Just raw, evidence-based nutrition cutting through the noise to tell you exactly what fasting does to your body, what it doesn't do, and who is lying to you for profit.
