A viewer asks: “Effectiveness of Creator’s recommended supplements will vary among individuals due to individual biochemistry, hormonal baseline, diet, exercise habits, stress levels, age and life stage, etc. Also, some supplements may require consistent, long-term use before noticeable effects are achieved. Given this variability, how important is it to get a nutritional assessment done as a way to optimize benefits? Would this likely lead to good advice? What steps should people take to optimize benefits? Are some best absorbed with food? Are some better for younger or older people?” What can Creator tell us?

Your question, and its many components, illustrates perfectly why this is not a simple and easily achieved state of affairs, to be knowledgeable about how one is doing personally among the vast array of issues and possible personal vulnerabilities that make it impossible to identify a single set of choices that can be used effectively by everyone. So the question is, where can one go to get a nutritional assessment, as you propose, as a possible effective solution? Nutritionists have a long checkered history of embracing faulty ideas and then promoting them relentlessly, by engaging government support and backing for doing what is the opposite of good nutritional practice for maintaining health and well-being, as evidenced by the food pyramid recommended by the government being revised and, in major respects, completely reversed. Among practitioners in the healthcare system, old ideas typically persist for at least a generation and often more. The best one can do is take into consideration medical advice if there are diagnosable maladies present, and look and see what nutritional supplements might be advertised for people with those health issues, and ask for divine help in the form of inspiration and guidance, and then if people search their heart and proceed according to what they are drawn to, they may well be getting the highest and best advice possible. There are many perspectives and rules of thumb we could cite here. Having a foundational supplement that contains a wide array of many needed vitamins and many micronutrients, such as various metals, is a good general practice given that commercial food sources are ever-declining in the quality of their nutritional content. There are a number of good products that your channel has described, which contain a wide array of phytonutrients, and that is the best general thing one can do, living on a modern diet that will typically be rather narrow in scope with a limited array of individual food types that will, as well, vary in nutritional quality. So you are identifying a real problem, that there needs to be a beefing up of nutrition by the average person compared to what they will get simply arranging a diet through their food preferences guided by their cravings and personal enjoyment of flavors.
