What to expect
Feel at your very best – without taking supplements
The supplement industry is booming, fuelled by influencer endorsements. With so many pills promising to fix just about anything, it’s all too easy to fall for the hype. What many of us don’t know is that the supplement industry is completely unregulated – and these ‘wonder’ pills are often expensive placebos. It’s time to take back control.
In this evidence-based, no-nonsense guide by Registered Dietitian Josie Porter, you’ll discover that the best way to live well and feel better is not through supplement subscriptions, but by giving your body what it needs through real food.
Using a ‘food-first approach’, How Not to Take Supplements includes delicious recipes, handy meal plans and supplement reviews, as well as chapters covering hormones, skin, gut health, energy, immunity and longevity. You’ll discover a new way of eating that will transform your health in a way no supplement ever could.

Critics Review
-
Josie is an excellent clinician who always follows where the evidence leads. She translates the science into genuinely practical advice without overwhelming people, and makes nutrition feel accessible and grounded, rather than dry or overly complicated.

In a world of quick fixes and mixed messages, this is the book we all need to read. It brings the focus back to balanced, evidence-based nutrition and a food-first mindset, while acknowledging that supplementation has its place when guided by credible sources and science rather than trends.
