Why I Focus on Products – not Hype
LiveGood products are where I’m choosing to start — not with hype, not with promises, but with what actually lands in the body.
The festive days come with a strange mix of time, momentum, and a little space to think — and it feels natural to keep going while the thread is still warm.
In my first post, I unpacked the disconnect that often shows up when people talk about LiveGood — the hype, the promises, the everything-all-at-once energy — and I briefly touched on something that gets lost in all of that noise: the quality of the LiveGood products themselves. That part matters. And it deserves more than a passing mention.
Because hype has a habit of making everything feel urgent.
You sign up.
You become an affiliate.
You tell everyone you’ve ever met.
You order all the products.
And suddenly you’re swallowing so many supplements that you don’t know whether you’re coming or going — and your body is very much not in the blissful state you were promised. What starts with excitement quickly becomes overwhelming, and the body rarely gets the calm, grounded support it actually needs.
Your body doesn’t need everything.
It needs the right thing, at the right time.
This sounds simple, but it requires a level of honesty, awareness, and patience that most supplement conversations completely ignore.
And it needs you to be able to determine what that is — not an ad, not a salesperson, not someone else’s protocol.
Wellness journeys are a lot like weight-loss journeys. We’re all in… until we’re not. Usually long before the body has had time to adjust, respond, or signal what’s actually working.
My Rule: A Grounded LiveGood Products Approach
I am 52 years old.
I have carried five babies.
And I have not always been a mung-bean–eating health freak (and, to be clear, I still am not).
My body has dealt with smoking, drinking, excess eating, not enough movement, and some fairly extreme, switchblade-style phases — where suddenly it was getting nothing but goddamn broth for a week. Along with all sorts of other questionable ideas.
I have to give this body credit. It has carried me through. It still does. Minor renovations may be required at some point — and frankly, a brain upgrade probably wouldn’t go astray either.
As I’ve matured (like a decent red wine), I’ve moved toward a gentler approach to health. Over the past ten years, I’ve tracked my health in a fairly consistent way — not obsessively, not perfectly, just honestly.
I pay attention to:
- energy levels
- mood
- digestion
- aches and pains
It doesn’t require pages of daily notes. It just needs to make sense to me.
That way, when I speak to a doctor or an alternative practitioner, I can describe what’s happening with some clarity. Not “I never get headaches” — but “I’ve had them every third day, they’re worse after drinking, and they spike when hormones are running the show.”
Yes, it takes time. But when the question becomes “What does my body actually need support with?” — I have answers.
In that scenario, recurrent headaches could be addressed by reducing alcohol intake (shocking, I know) and supporting the nervous system with magnesium — which also happens to help with sleep. Bingo. Magnesium is widely researched for its role in supporting sleep, muscle function, and nervous system health.
Did I then start taking magnesium, multivitamins, collagen, probiotics, and super greens all at once?
No. I did not.
I did what most people don’t.
I started with one product — LiveGood Magnesium — and I stayed with it for a full month. This kind of slow testing isn’t glamorous, but it’s practical, responsible, and far more effective in the long run.
What changed?
- My sleep improved
- Night-time calf cramps eased
- Headaches became less frequent and less intense
Did it magically remove my desire for a glass of red wine at the end of the day? Absolutely not. Let’s be realistic.
All of this went into the trusty health diary before I moved on.
When I added a second product, it was for a different health goal. Because I’d taken the time to observe the first, I could now take them side by side with confidence. Real data. Real feedback. This works for me — or it doesn’t.
One product didn’t move the needle at all. Another interfered with my digestion. Not ideal for a healthy relationship, if you get my drift.
And that’s information too.
Why Awareness Matters More Than Speed
Your health is your anchor. It shapes how you experience life and it deserves to be treated with respect. Treating supplements as a process rather than a protocol removes pressure and replaces it with clarity.
Your body is not the same as it was 20 or 30 years ago. Your needs change. Hormones shift. Systems slow down or speed up. What works now may need to be reassessed later — and that is not failure. That’s awareness.
So be prepared to pause.
To stop.
To evaluate.
To change direction.
Just because magnesium was my quiet little hero doesn’t mean it will be yours.
Test things.
Listen to your body.
Treat wellness like a daily practice, not a sprint you do in January only to abandon by the time the Easter Bunny starts colouring eggs.
This approach to LiveGood products has helped me slow down, listen, and make decisions based on my body rather than marketing noise.
Over time, I’ll document individual products in more detail — not as recommendations carved in stone, but as lived experience. If I’m already doing the research for my body, my circumstances, and my health, I’m happy to share it honestly — without pretending that one size fits all.
