Supplement jungle
from FOMO to JOMO (joy of missing out)
Support with natural supplements
Holiday in France. Sun, calm, joie de vivre. The perfect picture, right?
Until day 3. By then we had collectively turned into the cast of “Chateau
Meiland” – but without the humour. The grown-ups were biting each other’s heads off. The
kids were walking mood swings. And me? I was the Queen
of Grumpy.
Day 4 the insight came: our supplements were back in the Netherlands.
On the kitchen counter. Waving at us. Well, f*ck. 😣
Pills are for sick people - and other nonsense I used to believe
I was that person. I know the type: “Taking pills is for losers. I eat
healthy enough!” Nice story. But not true (anymore). Sorry. Here are the
facts:
- Dutch vegetables contain fewer nutrients than they did in 1950
- 9 out of 10 Dutch people don’t get enough vitamin D, even in summer
- Magnesium deficiency in 60% of the population due to stress and caffeine, among other things
But you definitely eat those 800 grams of vegetables a day you need for the same nutrition as grandma’s one carrot. Right?
I am not judging, by the way – I also had to learn this lesson the expensive way before I understood: real food alone no longer cuts it. Your body needs reinforcement. Smart, targeted, bioavailable reinforcement.
Synthetic junk sabotages your body
Here comes the eye-opener: those synthetic supplements from the chemist? Your own compilation of bio-hacks? They are sabotaging your
system.
What ACTUALLY happens:
You swallow your synthetic vitamins and supplements. Your body thinks: “What is this plastic?” Your liver has to work overtime
to decode that fake nutrient. Your adrenals pump out extra cortisol because they think there’s an emergency.
The result? Adrenal exhaustion. Your body in constant alarm mode. And those “healthy” supplements? Maybe a fraction gets absorbed – the rest gets flushed out (expensive pee, anyone?).
But you do eat those 800 grams of vegetables a day you need for the same nutrition as grandma’s one carrot. Right?
The system that transformed my life (and mood)
Wellness Made Simple – intelligent design for your body
VMG+ Superfood Powder. Forget pills. This is smarter:
Liposomal technology (means: goes straight into your cells)
Essential oils that literally “open up” your cell membranes
70+ whole food ingredients that strengthen each other
No synthetic junk your liver has to decode. Just real food in concentrated form.
EO Mega+ – omega-3 on steroids. Olive oil from Lesbos added for extra polyphenols – these protect not only the omegas against oxidation, but also your cardiovascular system. Reinforced with essential oils that improve absorption and bioavailability.
PB Restore – your gut microbiome’s VIP support. Because 90% of your serotonin is made in your gut, 70% of your immune system lives there, and your gut bacteria literally communicate with your brain. Take it before bed: gut motility (movement) is slower at night, so the probiotics have more time to attach to your gut wall.
Mito2Max – cellular energy without crashes. Ginseng for natural energy. Co-enzyme Q10 for cellular energy production. Perfect for those days when you need to keep going but want to feel strong.
"Do I really need all those supplements?"
Listen. You give your phone an update every night. Your car gets the best petrol. Your hair gets an expensive treatment.
But your biochemical masterpiece of a body? That has to make do with depleted vegetables and run on hope?
Your body works 24/7 for you. Is €4.50 a day not the least you can give back?
That daily takeaway coffee costs more than that (and is also less healthy). Choose your investments wisely.
The JOMO effect (how I became a believer)
My kitchen cupboards now contain herbs. The random supplements have gone in the bin.
That grumpy holiday was my wake-up call.
My supplements come with me from now on. It’s also so easy because it’s
just a sachet.
Not 25 different little pills.
I also always have a sachet with me. In. Every. Bag.
Paranoia? No. Wisdom.
Because I have learned: my body is my temple, and giving it what it needs is not luxury – it’s self-respect.
