‘If I lift up a weight, I automatically get super strong. That’s why I get intimidated and stay away from the gym…if I were to work out, I would look like a bodybuilder.’
Taylor on Why Exercise Videos Are The Way to Go
‘Some people feel intimidated when they walk into a gym. Some people don’t even want to leave the house. I wanted to make something where you don’t have to leave the house to get a workout and feel good.’
Teyana Taylor’s Supplements
Taylor doesn’t have much to say on the topic of supplements, so below are options that can benefit anyone following a similar diet plan.
multivitamin
Given Taylor’s less-than-ideal diet, a multivitamin would be a wise choice.
B-complex
As a new mom, a B-complex vitamin is another good option to boost energy, and it can also help with postpartum depression.
vitamin D
For strong muscles and bones, adding vitamin D is a smart idea, and many people are deficient in this essential nutrient.
Coconut oil
magnesium
Sleep-deprived moms need all the help they can get, and supplementing with magnesium can improve sleep quality.
probiotics
Taylor’s body has been through a lot between pregnancy and the lumpectomies. Adding probiotics helps restore good diges-tion and counteract the effects of antibiotics.
