Not all supplements are created equal! While many promise big benefits, quality, purity, and safety can vary greatly. And the “extras” they contain (like fillers, binders, dyes, and preservatives) often matter more than you might think!

Here are a few things to look out for:

❌ Some supplements don’t even contain the amount of active ingredient listed on the label. Potency can fall far below or sometimes exceed what’s claimed.
❌ Poorly made supplements can be contaminated with heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides, or even mislabeled ingredients.
❌ Lower-cost brands often use fillers or synthetic forms that are harder for your body to absorb and may even trigger sensitivities.

✔️ Pharmaceutical-grade supplements are held to higher standards. They contain very little filler, go through more rigorous testing, and offer more consistent dosing.

At Nova Wellness, we believe supplements should be exactly that, supplemental. They’re meant to support your health, not replace the foundational work of nutrition, sleep, movement, and lifestyle. If supplements are called for in your personalized treatment plan, we’ll recommend clean, effective brands that we trust.

More isn’t always better when it comes to supplements.

It’s easy to end up with a cabinet full of bottles and still wonder if any of them are actually helping. You’re not alone if you’ve ever questioned whether all those pills are really doing anything for you.

That’s why we focus on a personalized and holistic approach to medicine. We order detailed functional testing and take the time to look at what has worked for you, what hasn’t, and what your body actually needs.

Supplements are supplemental to other health strategies: they can help, but only alongside a focus on healing the gut, supporting detoxification, balancing hormones, clearing infections and boosting nutrient deficiencies.

Beyond the physical, we also look at how spiritual and mental health are affecting the entire system - it’s all connected and it’s all personal!

Supplements can play a role, but they are meant to support the bigger picture: nourishing food, quality sleep, movement, stress care, and lifestyle shifts that create lasting vitality.

Less is more, and with the right plan, it’s enough!

You don’t have to figure out your health journey on your own.

For generations, people have turned to practitioners for guidance. Not because they couldn’t do anything themselves, but because having someone who can see you more clearly from the outside helps you go deeper within. A practitioner offers perspective, tools, and support that we can’t always give ourselves.

Healing is even more powerful when it happens in community. Surrounding yourself with people who also value health means you can learn from each other, feel supported, and grow together.

At Nova Wellness, we believe in both working with skilled practitioners and building community around wellness because together, they create a foundation for lasting change. 💛

Longevity is more than living long, it’s about having a high level of health that gives you the ability enjoy a full life. At Nova Wellness, we focus on changes that not only add years to your life but also bring more vitality to your years. ✨

Here are 5 science-backed shifts that make a real difference:

1. Prioritize Metabolic Health:
Balanced blood sugar, healthy cholesterol, and low inflammation are key. Swap processed carbs for whole foods, pair meals with protein and fiber, manage stress, and support your gut for better energy and longevity.

2. Regulate Your Nervous System:
Chronic stress accelerates aging. Practices like breathwork, vagus nerve stimulation, adaptogenic herbs, and emotional support help your body shift into healing mode.

3. Focus on Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition:
Colorful, plant-rich meals + omega-3s = lower inflammation and disease risk. Limit sugar, seed oils, and foods you’re intolerant to. Eat in a way that heals and tastes amazing.

4. Detox Your Environment and Your Body:
Reduce hidden toxins with simple swaps in household and personal care products. Support your body’s detox with herbs, saunas, and nutrient support.

5. Prioritize Restorative Sleep:
Deep sleep repairs tissues and balances hormones. Protect it with consistent sleep/wake times, reducing screens before bed, and magnesium or herbal support.

✨ At Nova Wellness, we help you apply these shifts in a way that feels accessible and aligned with your life.

Nourishing, comforting, and surprisingly simple to make: bone broth is one of the best ways to support your body from the inside out. ✨

Packed with minerals, collagen, and amino acids, it can help with digestion, joint health, immunity, and overall healing. And the best part? It doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Just ask your butcher for chicken bones or even chicken feet (yes, really!) and simmer them with veggies and herbs for a few hours.

In the end, you’ll have a rich, healing broth you can sip on its own or use as the base for soups, stews, and so much more.

Because sometimes the simplest recipes are the most powerful for your health!
