Kim Kardashian reveals taking 35 supplements daily for wellness routine: ‘I have pill fatigue’
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Media personality and socialite Kim Kardashian recently shared details about her intense health and wellness routine during an appearance on Amy Poehler’s 'Good Hang' podcast on Tuesday, May 19.
The reality star revealed that she takes dozens of supplements every day and admitted the process has become overwhelming at times.
Kardashian also discussed the health scans she regularly undergoes with her family as part of her preventive care routine.
Kim Kardashian admits suffering from ‘pill fatigue’
During the podcast conversation, Kardashian revealed, “I take probably 35 supplements a day,” and explained, “I spread them out three times a day.”
She also opened up about struggling to continue taking fish oil supplements because the process had become exhausting.
The SKIMS founder said, “I thought, ‘Okay, I can’t do this fish oil anymore. I have pill fatigue. I have to stop these fish oil [supplements].’” However, she later realized the supplements were affecting her health more than expected.
She continued, “I got my bloodwork [done], and it was so evident that I stopped and I had to start again.” Poehler agreed with Kardashian’s frustration over fish oil supplements and noted that they are “tough” because “you taste it for a long time.”
Kardashian then joked about wanting an easier solution, saying, “The pills are just so big. I wish there was an IV drip I could do every day, and I would just do it on my way to work,” before delving into her workout regimen.
She then briefly spoke about her fitness routine during the interview, saying, “I do strength training, so I have this crazy bodybuilder trainer. Today we did lower body, so squats and walking lunges.”
The mother-of-four has been very transparent about her wellness routine over the years, opening up to Allure in 2022 about her beauty approach.
She said, “I care. I really, genuinely care about looking good, I probably care more than 90 percent of the people on this planet. It’s not easy when you’re a mom and you’re exhausted at the end of the day or you’re in school, and I’m all of the above. I do my beauty treatments usually late at night. After everyone’s in bed, I’m doing laser treatments.”
Kim Kardashian reveals family’s shared wellness scan routine
Apart from supplements, Kim Kardashian discussed the regular body scans she undergoes alongside her family members. While speaking to Poehler about bone health, she asked, “Do you ever get a … DEXA scan?” before revealing, “I actually know a portable DEXA scan person, and it comes in a van.”
A DEXA scan, or Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry scan, is a fast and non-invasive imaging test that uses low-dose X-rays to assess bone mineral density and evaluate overall bone health. She then explained how the wellness routine has become a family activity inside their gated community.
Kardashian said, “You lay down and each one of my sisters and my mom, we all live in the same gated community, so we have the van drive by, and we all jump in the van.”
Describing the process further, the reality star added, “You just lay down, and it scans your body, maybe like three minutes, and it tells you all about your bone density.” Kardashian also mentioned that she has been learning more about wellness tools and supplements in recent years.
