Multivitamins are one of the most popular supplements out there - but are they actually doing anything? Or are you just paying for expensive wee?

This week I’m diving into the real pros and cons of multivitamins - and whether they’re actually worth your time and money.

We’ll cover:
– What makes a good multivitamin (hint: they’re not all created equal)
– Why your lifestyle, stress levels, and diet affect how well you absorb nutrients
– When a multi might be genuinely helpful - and when it might not be needed
– And the key nutrients midlife women often don’t get enough of from food alone

🎧 If you’ve ever stood in front of the supplement shelf confused (or overwhelmed by influencer hype), this one’s for you.

🙏 A big thank you to our sponsor Revive Active — their advanced formulas include absorbable nutrients in meaningful doses, including vitamin D3, K2, B vitamins, and more. It's one of the few multinutrient blends I truly rate and recommend!

Think you’re getting enough vitamin D just because the sun’s out? You might want to think again.

This week we’re diving into the sunshine vitamin - what it does, why it’s vital for your health, and how to know if you’re running low.

In this episode, I’ll explain:
– Why vitamin D is crucial for calcium absorption and immune support
– The seasonal drop in levels and why we make none in winter
– How low levels can affect your mood, metabolism, and hormone balance
– Why I always recommend combining vitamin D with vitamin K2
– How to top up safely with food, sunlight, and high-quality supplements

Whether you’ve had a recent blood test and want to understand the results, or just want to feel more energised and resilient, this one’s worth a listen.

🙏 A huge thank you to our podcast sponsors, Revive Active, whose supplements include a well-absorbed, maintenance dose of vitamin D3 + K2 - one of the reasons their range is my go-to for foundational support in midlife and beyond.
