Popular Supplements & Their Benefits

Complementary - Insightful - Integrative

Elevate your herbal practice with knowledge of the latest supplements.

It's all about vitality!

Are all these newfangled supplements worth all the hype and the expense? 
They say, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away!" And in this class, Phyllis D. Light, MA helps us understand why that old saying holds true.

We all aim for that well-rounded diet, don't we? It can be challenging to achieve this for one reason or another. That's where supplements come into play; they're like a temporary boost to your daily healthy routine.

In this enlightening class, Phyllis unravels the secrets of each supplement's natural origins. Phyllis also dives into the roles these supplements play in your body – from hormones to neurotransmitters. You'll not only discover the perks, but you'll also get a backstage pass to the chemistry of some of these supplements.

Supplements can be like guests at a gathering: some blend right in, while others might stir the pot. Phyllis takes her time to explain who should embrace these supplements with open arms and who should approach them with caution. And fear not - even if you're vegan, gluten-sensitive, or have allergies we've got you covered!

The next time you stroll down that health and supplement aisle at your local grocery store, you'll be more prepared than ever to make choices that suit your health.
In this class, you're in for a treat! We uncover the fascinating backstory of supplements and answer some important questions:
  • What is the definition of a supplement?
  • Who are these supplements really meant for?
  • Which ones are all the rage these days?
