Do We Really Need Supplements? A Doctor’s Answer May Surprise You!

Are supplements necessary—or are they just expensive hype? In this episode of The Biblical Nutritionist Podcast, I sit down with Dr. J Hinson from GoodDoctors.Health to answer the age-old question: Do we really need supplements? Her answer might just change the way you shop for your health.


Are Vitamin Supplements Worth It? The Truth Uncovered

Staring at shelves of bottles promising everything from better skin to more energy, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But Dr. Hinson reminds us that supplements are not one-size-fits-all. Before reaching for a capsule or powder, it’s essential to know what your body actually needs.

💬 “Sometimes you can take unnecessary supplements—and who wants to waste money?” —Dr. J Hinson

How to Approach Supplements Biblically and Wisely

Before investing in your next supplement, ask:
Have I tested? Am I nourishing my body with God-made foods first?
