Have a shelf full of vitamins but not sure what if anything they are doing for you? Trish & Lorraine get to the bottom of what we need to take & why in our midlife years, including the one essential we are all most likely missing (big clue: it’s Co-enzyme Q10). Joined by guest Jennifer O’Connell - triathlete, former lawyer & co-founder of The Elevator by Sisterly one & done multivitamin sachets - they discuss why our nutrient needs & ability to absorb them change as we age as well as how to track if they are really making a difference. They also share the science that says there’s no reason we shouldn’t expect to have day-long energy, strong bones & muscles, manageable stress, low inflammation, a strong immune system plus glowing skin, hair and nails .
