The Real Cost of Supplements — You Don’t Always Get What You Pay For

We’re told we are what we eat, but in truth, we’re what we absorb.In this episode, we explore the real cost of supplements and why the most expensive one isn’t always the £60 bottle on the shelf, it might be the £20 one that doesn’t work. From misleading marketing and non-compliant imports to the hidden science of bioavailability, we uncover what really separates a quality product from a costly placebo.Think of your body like a finely tuned engine, it doesn’t just need fuel, it needs the right fuel. The wrong form, poor purity, or cheap fillers can stop your system from running as it should.You’ll learn the three key questions every practitioner and consumer should ask: 1️⃣ Is it clean? 2️⃣ Is it absorbable? 3️⃣ Is it compliant?Because in the world of wellness, the smartest investment isn’t the flashiest packaging or the boldest claims, it’s choosing supplements your body can actually use.🎧 Tune in to discover how to tell the difference between genuine nutrition and expensive chalk dust.

The latest episode from the Electromagnetic Nutrition Hub Podcast dives deep into the hidden relationship between the fats we eat, the light we live under, and how both influence our cellular energy and overall wellbeing.The discussion begins by challenging decades of dietary dogma that painted all fats as harmful. Instead, the episode highlights how modern seed oils, especially those high in linoleic acid (LA)—have dramatically changed the body’s natural fat balance. Once our omega-6 to omega-3 intake was close to equal; today, it can be twenty to one. This shift, the episode explains, may affect how efficiently our mitochondria, the body’s energy producers, generate ATP, the molecule that fuels every cell.Listeners learn how oxidised seed oils can weaken mitochondria by damaging vital structures like cardiolipin, leading to reduced energy, increased inflammation, and accelerated ageing. The science is brought to life with an accessible explanation of biophotons, the tiny flashes of light our cells emit when they’re healthy and energetically balanced, and how stress or oxidation can disturb that light.The podcast then takes a fascinating turn into the world of light biology, exploring how red and near-infrared light (used in photobiomodulation) can support mitochondrial performance and energy production. It even touches on new research suggesting that certain plant compounds may help our cells capture light energy more efficiently, a reminder that, while humans don’t photosynthesise, we are deeply light-responsive.The conversation closes with practical takeaways for everyday life:Swap seed oils for olive, avocado, or coconut oil.Get morning sunlight and limit bright artificial light in the evening.Move naturally and eat colourful, antioxidant-rich foods.Prioritise deep, restorative sleep to aid the body’s nightly repair cycle.Overall, “The Fat We Forgot” is both educational and empowering. It brings together nutritional science, biophysics, and practical lifestyle advice to show that energy, resilience, and longevity are not simply about what we eat, but how our bodies interact with the environment around us.Whether you’re a practitioner, a student of Electromagnetic Nutrition, or simply someone curious about modern wellness, this episode will leave you with a deeper appreciation for how small, consistent choices in food, light, and rhythm can illuminate better health from within.

Welcome to The Electromagnetic Nutritional Hub Podcast, where we explore the science, the stories, and the practical strategies shaping the future of nutritional and energetic health.In today’s episode, we’re diving into the new science of ageing and what it means for women’s health, especially through the lens of menopause.For decades, researchers have tried to understand why our cells and organs age, and why, for women, the ovaries are often among the first to feel these changes. Now, new studies have expanded the recognised “hallmarks of ageing” from twelve to fourteen, uncovering the cellular mechanisms that influence everything from energy production to hormonal balance.We’ll be unpacking what these discoveries mean in practice: how nutrients like magnesium, B vitamins, omega-3s, and antioxidants support the body’s natural defences, and how lifestyle choices can help maintain energy, mood, and vitality throughout menopause and beyond.So, whether you’re a practitioner, student, or simply curious about how to age well from within, stay with us as we explore how this evolving science is helping women navigate midlife with balance, strength, and renewed confidence.

Welcome to the Electromagnetic Nutritional Hub podcast, where we explore the hidden dimension of nutrition. In this episode, we dive into how light, electromagnetic fields, and ultraweak biophoton signalling may intertwine with the nutrients we take — potentially influencing cellular energy, coherence and longevity. We’ll go beyond conventional biochemistry to uncover how transparency in mineral forms and subtle energy flows might shape our health from the inside out.

Welcome to the E.N.HHUB Podcast, the show where we dig into the science behind everyday nutrition and discover how small changes can make a big difference to your health.In this episode, we’re exploring a fascinating group of plant compounds you’ve probably heard mentioned but may not know much about, phytosterols.Most of us know them as the ‘cholesterol fighters’ added to spreads and yoghurts. But new research is showing they can do far more than that: from helping to lower blood pressure, to supporting healthy blood sugar, and even reducing triglycerides when combined with the right nutrients.We’ll also look at how phytosterols team up with omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, and potassium to create a powerful, whole-diet approach to heart health.So, whether you’re a practitioner, a wellness enthusiast, or just curious about how nutrition can protect your heart, you won’t want to miss this episode.”

In this episode, we’re diving into a particularly timely question: “Can you afford to cut corners when it comes to your nutritional choices?”This discussion stems from our latest article, exploring how what we absorb, not just what we eat, truly shapes our wellbeing. That means looking beyond the plate, to the quality, bioavailability, and integrity of the nutrients we choose.Together, we'll examine how common myths, clever food marketing, and external pressures, like the cost-of-living squeeze, can lead us to compromise on quality, often without realising it.Recent statistics from the Health Food Manufacturers Association reveal that over 70% of UK adults take nutritional supplements, and nearly half take them daily—a trend amplified during the pandemic and public focus on immune resilience. But now, more than ever, many are opting for cheaper, mass-produced supplements, sacrificing the higher-quality, organic, or more bioavailable forms for price alone.In this episode, I’ll unpack:Why bioavailability matters—the gap between what we eat and what our bodies can use.The subtle ways misinformation and marketing skew our decisions.Actions you can take to make nourishing choices that won’t undermine your wellbeing or your wallet.Whether you’re a wellness-savvy individual, a supplement follower, or simply keen on practical nutrition, this episode offers a refreshingly balanced, evidence-based thought partnership.So let’s explore the question: Are you truly saving money, or potentially compromising your health, by cutting corners? Let’s get started.
