Should I take supplements? Yes or no?
The supplements ‘yes or no’ question is a seemingly innocent one.
And coincidentally clients seem to ask it always right at the end of a coaching session which entices me to give them the quick and simple answer of: Take X but not Y. That, however, is not empowering and certainly does not satisfy my desire to make you a well-educated activist for your own body …
