7 Supplements Women Over 40 Should STOP Taking

Video Description

Midlife can feel like your body suddenly changed the rules. The supplements that once boosted energy, hair growth, and metabolism might now be causing bloating, acne, brittle hair, belly fat, dry skin, hormone imbalance, and even abnormal lab results. In this episode, Chalene breaks down the popular supplements many women over 40 are still taking that could be quietly sabotaging their health, thyroid labs, skin barrier, bone density, and hormones. If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause and wondering why you don’t feel like yourself anymore, this conversation will challenge what you think you “should” be taking. This is not about fear. It’s about testing, not guessing, and making smarter choices in midlife. 🎉 Camp Be More 2027!!
