Why the “Right” Supplement Often Doesn’t Work

 You can take the “right” supplement every day… and still feel no different. Not because nutrients don’t matter, but because what’s on the label isn’t always what your body can actually use.In today’s episode, we explore why supplement quality, chemical form, and biological compatibility determine whether a nutrient supports your cells or simply passes straight through.This isn’t about trends or marketing claims, it’s about what your body can recognise, absorb, and turn into real function.If you’ve ever wondered why doing the right thing hasn’t delivered the results you expected, this conversation may change how you look at supplementation for good. 

Welcome to the Electromagnetic Nutritional Hub podcast.Today’s episode explores a question that sits at the heart of modern nutrition, whatever happened to using supplements properly? In a world of targeted formulas, symptom-led solutions and trend-driven products, we ask whether something more fundamental has been lost along the way.Drawing on the naturopathic principles taught by figures such as Barbara Wren and Lawrence Plaskett, we look at health not just as biochemistry, but as energy, hydration, elimination, and the body’s ability to hold and convert light into life. From true cellular balance through to inflammation and deeper metabolic stress, this episode explores how the body’s needs change, and why intelligent supplementation should always support function rather than simply mask dysfunction.If you have ever felt that wellbeing is about more than what you take, and more about how efficiently your system works, this conversation offers a perspective that may change how you think about health.

Welcome to today’s episode. This is a conversation that challenges how we think about health at its most fundamental level. Not just in terms of nutrients and chemistry, but in terms of energy, light, and cellular communication.We explore the work of Professor Roeland Van Wijk, a scientist whose research into biophotons suggests that every living cell emits light, and that this light may play a role in how life organises itself. We also reflect on the decades of insight from Barbara Wren, whose writing translates these ideas into lived human experience.This episode asks a simple but powerful question: what if nutrition is not only about what we consume, but about how we support the energy systems of the cell?Let’s begin.

Welcome back to the Electromagnetic Nutrition Hub Podcast.I’m your host, and today we’re exploring a fresh way to approach wellbeing in 2026. Not extreme resolutions or quick fixes, but realistic, everyday shifts that support how we feel from the inside out.This episode is about why this year feels different. Why more of us are stepping away from dramatic overhauls and starting to focus on digestion, nourishment, and habits that actually fit into real life, and last beyond January.If you’re looking for a calmer, more sustainable way to support your wellbeing this year, you’re in exactly the right place.Let’s dive in.

Welcome, and thank you for joining us.As we step into a new year, many people find themselves reflecting on their health, their habits, and the choices they want to make going forward. In today’s episode, we’re taking a thoughtful look at wellbeing, not through a single lens, but by exploring a broader conversation around eco-friendly and complementary approaches to health.This podcast isn’t about quick fixes or rigid resolutions. It’s about curiosity, balance, and understanding the options that exist beyond the mainstream narrative. We’ll be discussing traditional and natural approaches that have been used across cultures for generations, alongside the questions many people are now asking about sustainability, long-term health, and personal choice.Nothing you’ll hear today is intended as medical advice. Instead, this is an opportunity to listen, reflect, and consider how different perspectives on health and wellbeing might fit into your own life.So whether you’re listening while walking, resting, or simply taking a moment for yourself, we invite you to settle in and approach this conversation with an open mind.Let’s begin.

Winter brings its own rhythm, slower mornings, earlier evenings, and a season that gently reshapes how our bodies feel and function. In this episode, we explore how simple, thoughtful nutrition can support your family’s natural resilience through the colder months. From the vital role of vitamin D and antioxidant-rich foods, to the grounding comfort of warm meals and steady routines, we dive into the foundations that help keep energy, immunity and wellbeing balanced when winter places extra demands on the body.This conversation isn’t about trends or extremes; it’s about understanding what the body genuinely needs at this time of year, and how small, consistent choices can make winter feel lighter, calmer, and more manageable.Join us as we take a warm, practical look at winter nutrition and discover how to move through the season with confidence, clarity, and a little more ease.

Welcome to today’s episode, where we explore how to keep your joints comfortable, mobile and resilient through the winter months. As the temperature drops, many people notice an increase in stiffness or reduced ease of movement, yet research and practical experience show there are simple lifestyle habits and nutritional strategies that can make a significant difference.In this conversation, we look at what the science tells us about key nutrients, how everyday movement supports joint comfort, and the small seasonal adjustments that can help your body feel more at ease during colder weather. Whether you are looking to stay active, support your overall wellbeing or simply move with more comfort this winter, this episode offers a clear, balanced and accessible guide grounded in current evidence.Settle in and let’s explore how to give your joints the care they deserve this season.

Welcome to today’s episode, where we take a deeper look at the world of Black Friday supplement deals and uncover why the cheapest option can sometimes become the most expensive mistake. In this session, we explore how misleading labels, weak formulations, and non-compliant products slip into the market during major sales, and why both consumers and practitioners often pay the real price. If you’ve ever wondered why a supplement “didn’t work”, or why practitioners sometimes see results fall short for reasons outside their control, this episode shines a light on the hidden factors. Let’s explore what quality really means, and why value goes far beyond a discount tag. 

Have you been feeling sluggish, foggy, or simply not firing on all cylinders lately? You are certainly not alone. In this episode, we explore why so many people are running on low power despite doing “all the right things”. Modern living quietly drains the body’s natural spark, and most of us never realise how deeply this affects our clarity, motivation, and everyday wellbeing.We take a grounded look at the principles of Electromagnetic Nutrition™, a framework that treats the human body as a living electrical ecosystem. Instead of hunting for the next magic bullet or complicated formula, this approach focuses on the foundations that keep our internal circuitry flowing. Minerals, healthy fats, and whole foods play essential roles in supporting the body’s natural electrical gradients, helping us maintain stable energy, calmer moods, and clearer thinking.We also dive into how stress, constant screen time, late nights, rushed meals, and sedentary routines gradually weaken the body’s nutritional and energetic balance. These small daily habits add up, creating what many people recognise as the “low charge state” where they are not unwell, but certainly not at their best.This episode explores why traditional naturopathic wisdom is often far more powerful than people realise. While many chase complex solutions, it is often the simple, foundational principles that make the biggest difference. We discuss how these ideas connect with the broader understanding of cellular adaptation, including concepts such as Henrik Kramer’s sixteen stages of cellular change, which highlight the relationship between biochemistry, energetics, structure, and the body’s ability to organise itself.If you have been feeling tired, tense, foggy, or disconnected, this conversation will help you understand what your body may be trying to tell you. You will learn how to recognise the signs of an undercharged system and how to begin restoring balance in a practical, accessible way that fits real life.Tune in to explore how you can reconnect with your natural flow, support your internal circuitry and begin feeling more energised, more centred and more yourself again.

Welcome to the Healthlink Podcast, where we explore the thinking, the research, and the nutritional philosophies behind many of the formulations used in naturopathic practice today.In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at the ideas that sit behind our High Zinc & Manganese Formula One and Formula Two. Rather than focusing on claims or outcomes, we’re diving into something more fundamental, the nutritional rationale for combining zinc, manganese, and a broad spectrum of complementary micronutrients, and why this approach has a long-standing place in the wider landscape of nutritional biochemistry.This conversation draws from historical research, including the work of respected biochemist and author Dr Lawrence Plaskett, who emphasised the importance of nutrient synergy and the idea that minerals do not act in isolation. His wider contribution to nutritional science helped shape modern interest in how micronutrients interact and how forms, ratios, and cofactors influence their behaviour in the body.We’ll also touch on earlier academic work from researchers such as Carl Pfeiffer, who explored patterns of mineral utilisation and the concept of biochemical individuality. These historical perspectives continue to influence naturopathic thinking today, especially when it comes to understanding why certain minerals appear so frequently in balanced combinations.Throughout this episode, we’ll explore how zinc and manganese participate in a range of biochemical processes, how they complement each other within enzyme systems, and why many practitioners prefer to provide these minerals alongside supportive nutrients such as B-vitamins, magnesium, vitamin C, amino acids, and organic mineral forms chosen for their suitability.The aim here is simple: to give you a clear understanding of the nutritional philosophy behind these formulas, an approach that values balance, synergy, and the idea that nutrients often work best when delivered in forms that the body can make good use of.So, whether you’re a practitioner, a student of nutrition, or simply someone interested in the science behind well-designed micronutrient combinations, settle in. This is a deep dive into the fascinating world of mineral synergy and the thinking behind the High Zinc & Manganese Formula range.
