A nutritionist has lifted the lid on the various nutrients your body needs as well as when you should eat or supplement them.

Claire Sorlie is a certified nutritional therapy practitioner based in Los Angeles, who previously made headlines for sharing the 10 things that she would never do, and is now known for sharing tips and recipes on her channel.

Most recently, the gut expert took to the video-sharing platform to help viewers get a better hold on their diet as she told them which nutrients they should eat and which they should have as a supplement. 

In a now viral video, which has so far amassed over 22,600 views, Claire explained that she used food as ‘medicine’ and admitted that she often opted for some vitamins in pill form. 

However, the content creator did reveal which nutrients you should look for in your food and told viewers the one product that can help them ‘become nourished.’

She captioned the video: ‘Best ways to get your nutrients in and become nourished.’

‘When to eat versus when to supplement, from a nutritionist. I like to let food be thy medicine in my practice and I use supplements very often. 

‘So let’s talk about when I would recommend one over the other.’ 

The first nutrient she began discussing was glutamine, which is said to boost your immune system and repair damaged tissue, according to Cleveland Clinic. 

‘It’s an amino acid that can be really helpful for gut issues, specifically leaky gut. It helps to feed the cells of the gut lining so it acts like spackle to seal up all those little tears. 

‘You can take a powered supplement form of glutamine or you can drink bone broth,’ she said. 

The gut health expert encouraged her followers to sip on bone broth as she noted that it can also provide you with collagen and glycine. 

‘You get a better bang for your buck,’ she added.

The next nutrient she discussed was Vitamin D, adding that Vitamin D deficiencies are ‘incredibly common’ and can dictate bone health, thyroid health, mood, mental health as well as your immune health. 

Because there isn’t a ‘rich food source of Vitamin D that exists,’ Claire suggested that her followers purchase it in the form of a supplement. 

‘The last nutrient is selenium. Selenium is especially important for your thyroid,. 

‘You can get your daily intake of selenium through Brazil nuts – and not a lot of them. You only need two, maybe three,’ she said at the end of the clip. 

People on the web flooded the comments section and praised the nutritionist for her tips.

One person said: ‘Love this deep dive, so educational.’

Someone else wrote: ‘So helpful!’

Another user added: ‘Love your skin and body omg.’
