Health Products & Supplementation
By JANINE FRANK CEO & Co-Founder of 2 Health Nuts
Can you believe it’s already August? Even more surprising is just how many health products and supplements are out there. The wellness industry is booming—and for good reason!
This month, I’m sharing my “Fit5” favorite health and wellness products. These are just a starting point, but they’re fantastic for anyone looking to boost their daily nutrition and supplement routine.
Note: I’m a certified Health Coach (with two certifications), but not a doctor or nutritionist. These recommendations are based on my experience, research, and guidance from my holistic doctor.
