#60 - Are You A Supplement Junkie?
Ever wondered if your vitamins are actually doing anything? Or if juicing celery is worth the hype? In this jam-packed episode, the Girls Gone Gritty crew breaks down the $200 billion supplement industry, shares their personal wellness routines, and clears up common myths about detoxes, daily vitamins, and diet fads.
Farley, Darian, and Jennifer get real about what works for them—from celery juice and turmeric to protein powders and probiotics—while stressing the importance of doing your own research and getting blood work before blindly following trends. They also chat about shady supplement manufacturers, the truth behind glowing Amazon reviews, and why lab testing should be step one before loading up on pills.
Packed with humor, honesty, and heart, this episode is a reminder that health isn’t one-size-fits-all—and that getting gritty sometimes means getting smart about what you put in your body.
