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

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

Thank you for doing this Laura. So many other YTubers (mostly US) present these things in a very hyperbolic way which just makes things so fake and plastic. Your experience is more real and more in depth. Very good.

Oh Laura, I’m so sorry you were suffering. I’m so pleased you’re feeling better. 🥰

I absolutely love your channel Laura. Your hard work does not go unnoticed!! please know that you add to peoples lives, keep doing what you love ❤️

Fascinating video! I’m glad you feel better 😊

Truly, I adore your channel. Your videos don't come every week, but I can see the amount of time and research you put in. I love that you don't have a big team.. also when your video first popped up I thought your skin looked fantastic.

Thanks for your inspiring content, and for being so open about your depressions. These videos have been incredibly helpful to me and I am sure to many others, too.

I'm presently digging myself out of a financial hole (we're almost there!) and been working (freelance,. from home) 10, 12, 14 hour days, 5-6 days a week for months now, and I live in Canada (cold and dark early). Taking a walk outside with my cat in the middle of that mega-workshift is a game changer!!

Great video!! Those who haven’t been in your situation and felt low and foggy won’t ever understand you and why you did all this. Then there are people that are going through similar issues struggling and trying to find a solution. Thanks for sharing

Wow, looking good Laura! It's not often someone manages to keep me glued to the screen for 50 minutes, I think you're really great at making videos. Also, thanks for being so open about the depression you've experienced, it's hard to talk about yet so necessary to help others in similar circumstances.

Excellent video ! Cannot wait for what's next ! Wish we had a Phil in Canada . Cheers !

Nicely done Laura!!!Always an incredible presentation of authentically real, sprinkled with science and humor. Thank you for mentioning your feelings of SI. Talking about it really helps destigmatize the topic. I've missed some of your videos due to job changes and puppy rescues, but I am to catch up. I am ever so glad you are feeling much better. Keep em coming! These are excellent videos, changing lives!!!

Welcome back! Thank you for the informative content. I really appreciate your videos. Best wishes!

Well done Laura, I enjoy your posts. Will give this a watch cheers

Brilliant this is , love my features ❤! I have so many phone calls with Laura but i was still so glued to the whole video, it’s executed so perfectly. You’ve nailed this Laura. I can now also use this to show people so they can understand my journey the last 204 days as ‘most don’t get it’ Thank god for phill, for helping me with my health 🙌 7 years of problems and nothing coming up in doctors checks!

That was awesome Laura, thank you so much for sharing, really appreciate your honesty and commitment. Cannot wait for the update, I’m sure there will be huge improvements in your new blood work ❤

You often get original point of view on wholesome topics while provide value, really enjoy your videos. Also It's not focus on your opinion but on the reality which is great !

SO happy to see your face! Missed you💜Thank you so much for sharing! Great timing, great info🙌🏼✨

Another amazing video! Thank you for the valuable information, Laura!❤

Thank you Laura, great video. Looking forward to the next one already ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

great job in covering the topic of supplements and how lifestyle exercise and nutrition all contribute

So informative and helpful! Thank you Laura 😊. Very much looking forward to seeing your next set of blood test results in two months.

I love your channel, I appreciate and admire your transparency ❤

Laura I admire your openness and appreciate your informative approach. I wish you very well on this and all of your adventures.

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!

Such a well done and helpful video! Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks for all that went into this. Good job.

Wow. Looking forward to more on this! And thank you for sharing the more personal things such as how you were feeling mentally.

Love all your videos Laura - keep them coming

As always, so much information ... very well explained. I am so happy that this plan worked for you LT. Also, the video is well done !!! All what you said makes so much sense. Very well done, thanks LT.

I am so glad I found your channel. I have found your videos to be so interesting, informative and well-produced. I had a detailed blood, stool and saliva test done a year ago and have been on a supplement plan that has made a HUGE difference. I had complained about many of the same things you did. And also felt like maybe it was in my head, but just KNEW things weren’t right. I have been eating better and exercising too, but not as well as you. It’s a work in progress 😊 Thank you for the awesome content that you create.

Another thought provoking video - you certainly “go all in/no holding back” which is an approach that gains my admiration. So, well done and thanks for creating such good content.

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.

Love your videos, Laura! 😃You inspire me to make healthy changes. I greatly appreciate your honesty & the thoroughness of information you present. You are very likable and downright adorable! Thank you so much for your work & effort! 💚

You're truly wonderful. I really appreciate, love and enjoy your videos. Thank you. Keep the humour coming too, I especially love the random edits where you pop in a funny voice or distortion 😎 xx

Video with good content that clarifies all doubts. Thanks for a great job!

This is fascinating!! I’m soo glad you’re feeling better. You’ve worked hard at it, and the results really show. ❤

Thank you for this informative and honest update. 🌟

Well done! I really enjoyed it. Glad you found help for your depression and health concerns.

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

Thanks for the update, Laura! I have been wondering how this journey was progressing. Can’t wait for the year later results!

Awesome video. I learned so much thank you Laura!

What a hugely insightful video Laura. Than you🌞

Great video, thank you Laura

Laura, thank you for your openness and honesty. A lot of love from South Africa ❤❤❤

Thank-you! SO helpful! You are amazing and we appreciate all your hard work!

Good video Laura, including film making and very interesting topic.

This is an excellent video - Thank you for sharing and all your hard work. God bless you always, Love Rachel

Sooo good that you are explaining this! So many people are depleted and malnourished, their body suffers including their mental health. People need to know about the health of their body because a Dr. Never learns anything about food and supplements in combination with blood tests because of costs and insurance. Happy you inform people as well❤

Thank you for making this video! The fact that you took time and tracked your progress for a year is appreciated! And PLEASE, make the video about the sauerkraut!

Thank you Laura for all of this information ❤

Your videos are so well done and inspiring ❤️

Looking forward to your updates!!! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent video!

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.

Can't wait to see the results of the next blood test. 😊😊

Love your videos! You do a fantastic job. Keep them coming! ❤

Really good video, very balanced and great information. Keep up the good work, I feel I need to do the blood tests to fully understand what I have right and wrong and your video has really helped. Many Thanks 😊

Thanks for sharing your experience. I am glad you feel better.

Great Video! Very informative ❤

great video, thank you I'm super excited to take this product, I'm just waiting for my product to arrive!

Your information and your videos are always so interesting. They’re different from a lot of the ones I listen to keep going. You’re doing a great job.

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!

So much fun to watch thanks

Your difficulties with PMT are so relatable, and so frustrating. I feel like often women are brushed aside when they talk about these things, but it is a real and serious drain on our mental and physical well being. It should always be taken seriously and I'm so glad you did

Love your videos Laura, always look forward to the next one 🙂

Thank you for sharing. Especially the emotional and mental part. It’s good to know there is light at the end of the tunnel.

The edit with your head in the golf hole cracked me up!😂 Great information, Laura. One's health is a holistic endeavour and supplements often do have a role to play - it's about understanding what your individual needs are and eating, exercising and supplementing accordingly.

You made me think about a lot of stuff and its good to know i am not the only one struggling with depression and tiredness all the time. Thanks so much for making this video. And on costs.. I see it as an investment in your own health . Happy for you that you are doing better! ❤☺

Laura, thanks for this video. ❤ I really resonate with your personality and candour. If there is one take away I got from this video it was, “get the blood tests done!” ✅

Great video, very helpful ❤

Your review was exactly what I needed to hear! It helped me to decide whether or not to take the plunge and try the product.

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.

Really like your videos Laura. This was very interesting especially the part about your thyroid being under active but not being picked up by a Doctors test cause I have had many symptoms for years that seem to point to that but whenever they test they say it's normal. This really makes me want to get my bloods done with Phil but looking at the prices I might have to save up for a bit. Thanks for all the info. I can see that you're looking amazing healthy since you started this plan and your skin does look great. So glad that it has lifted the depressive fog as well!

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.

Yes-this video did make sense. Excellent excellent presentation on supplements and their role in our health. I learned a lot and bravo to you for healing the way you have. Thank you for sharing your journey.

I loved this video!

This was really great. I completely agree with you. I've taken different supplements at different times in my life, depending on the location I live in and my activity level. Also, when I'm injured and recovering. I think this is a great reminder for people as to when and why to take them, and to find out I they really need them. ❤😊

This was the best video about supplements that I have ever seen. Thank you.

I'm so impressed by your commitment to your experiments and tests, but as you said, it's worth it when your health can increase that much. Your videos and topics are so interesting! 🔥 🎉❤

Very good, I liked the explanation about how it works

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been looking forward to it and I find it great and compelling. You’ve inspired me to have my own bloodwork done las t year and I’ve been taking dedicated supplements for 4 weeks now. I am also so curious what this will do for me. Please keep making videos they totally float my boat with your informative and funny style. Love from Germany.

This was fabulous and very informative, thanks for putting it together. Really makes me wonder who in the states I could Go to for this type of treatment.

I love watching your journey. I'm hoping to take us to the UK for the Phil tests! Thank you

Thank you Laura, what a journey and so glad to hear that you are feeling so much better 👍 it sure is a big investment but o ur health is he most valuable thing that we have 🌷

Good to see you laura. 😊

I love your content and good on you for your honesty (and bravery!) about your mental health issues leading up to this health initiative.

Thank you for sharing your journey so far. I always find your videos so interesting and I’m so curious to know the results of your follow up blood tests!

Another amazingly thorough video!! 👏❤️ thank you! I think this is timed perfectly for me, I’ve been struggling and I’m about to book an appt for a blood test and maybe even a stool sample if they will do so.

You really do commit for it in these vidoes don't you! Most impressive. A great accompaniment to the food video. I think it just shows how mad the human body is! Great vid

Thank you for sharing your video. I've been looking forward to it. Great tips and keep up the good work which is inspiring! I will think twice buying supplements without a bloodtest and proper reading. greetings from the Netherlands, Gwenda ;)

Great Video.

Thanks for the info, very interesting.

so glad for you! 🙂

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 ❤

I loved this video! It was really interesting and so much of what you said resonated with me. In the past I’ve been to my regular GP feeling really awful. He’s ordered the standard blood tests to rule out the major diseases - high cholesterol, hypothyroidism, etc etc and the results would come back fine without any issues. Meanwhile, I know something is off. Living in Australia (and specifically Western Australia) I know we have nutrient depleted soils and a lot of produce sold throughout the year is not in season (hence has travelled miles and is not fresh) which I think plays a huge part in the nutrient concentration in our food. Unfortunately this kind of thinking is not top of mind with conventional doctors and I felt I had to do my own research and really advocate for myself when told “it’s all in my head”. I too wish our focus would shift to preventative health rather than treating disease after it has arisen!

Laura, thanks again for bringing us through another really comprehensive video into your commitment to health. I love how you break it all down and with your videos 50 minutes is never too long! I’m wondering how your body became so deficient with some minerals such as magnesium as you were quite healthy and active before the blood tests? Did Phil investigate this? I’m at the stage where the blood tests with my GP is ok except that I have hypothyroidism but I have a lot of symptoms similar to you and I eat well and exercise. After watching this I know I now need more comprehensive testing, at least I know lots of people feel this way too.

Love this video. What great info. Thank you much. 🌹🌷🌺

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 ❤

Thx Laura for sharing your supplement journey ! I would be interested to see where your supplement journey will continue and if you will consider other supplements which at least are supposed to enhance mitochondrial function like eg NAC and alphalipoic acid. When it comes to costs it would as well interesting to figure out which other legitimate and cheaper brands could be considered. I really appreciate that you share your experience here because I must say not everyone is communicating the important aspects in nutrition, exercise and health as well as you do, Laura. Looking forward to more content!:-) Keep up the great work.
