How to tell if nutrient insufficiencies are holding you back.

Nutrient insufficiencies are more common than most people realise – even if you're eating what feels like a nourishing diet. Modern life, depleted soils and busy routines make it harder than ever to get everything your body needs, every single day.

We’re not just talking about full-blown deficiencies. Insufficiencies – where your levels are low enough to impact how you feel but not low enough to show up out of the normal range on a standard blood test – can affect your energy, mood, skin, hormones and overall wellbeing.

So how can you tell if you’re likely covering your bases? Well, let’s look at it like this.

You’re less likely to have nutrient insufficiencies if: 

✔ You eat 7+ serves of vegetables every day (we need 5 daily serves minimum just to avoid depletion)

✔ You include 20+ different plants in your diet each week (fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, seeds, legumes)

✔ At least 80% of what you eat is whole, real food – not packaged, ultra-processed, takeaway or convenience foods

✔ You’re mindful of nutrient-depleting habits like regular alcohol consumption, excess caffeine, persistent stress and certain medications

✔ You regularly eat foods rich in trace minerals and vitamins – such as organ meats, red meat, seafood, eggs, seaweed, nuts and seeds

✔ Your digestion is functioning well – meaning your body is actually absorbing what you’re eating

If that list feels tough to tick off, you’re not alone. 

It’s one of the reasons Dr Libby created Bio Blends – to help bridge those gaps with supplements made from concentrated whole foods and medicinal herbs, formulated to work with your body.
