39 and I've spent more time this month reading supplement labels than I have sleeping. Which is saying something given the sleeping situation. Every single account I follow has a different stack. One woman swears by ashwagandha, the next says it made her worse. Someone else is doing magnesium glycinate plus L-theanine plus lion's mane plus three other things I can't pronounce and honestly I don't know whether she feels better or she's just very good at content. I don't want content. I just want to know what an actual normal person with a job and a tight budget actually noticed. Not a transformation. Just... did it do anything or not. I've written out what I'm already taking (just vitamin D, been on it for years) and what I eat most days because I read somewhere that protein and fibre cover a lot of ground before you start spending money on capsules. I don't know if that's true but it at least felt like a sensible place to start without immediately spending £40 on something a stranger on Instagram told me to. I've got a GP appointment in six weeks and I want to bring a list of anything I'm considering so she can tell me if it clashes with anything. Is that a weird thing to do? Feels a bit anxious even typing it but I'd rather ask than just quietly take a handful of things and hope for the best x
