How to Build a Personalized Supplement Stack

What is actually in Shannon Conklin’s supplement stack right now—and how does she decide what stays, what goes, and what gets cycled? In this solo episode of The Well Known Podcast, Shannon walks through the supplements she is currently using, the goals behind them, the changes she has made over time, and the personal reactions that have shaped her routine. More importantly, she explains why your supplement stack should be based on your physiology, goals, medications, diet, testing, and practitioner guidance—not on what someone online is taking.

What You’ll Learn

  • Why Shannon regularly reevaluates supplements instead of taking the same stack forever.

  • How she thinks about magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin C, CoQ10, probiotics, collagen, and other supplements in her current routine.

  • Why she pays attention to personal response, dosage overlap, medication interactions, and supplement quality.

  • How her experiences with sleep, energy, gut health, recovery, and unwanted side effects influence what she keeps or stops.

  • Why the biggest takeaway is to work with a qualified practitioner and avoid blindly copying someone else’s wellness routine.

Shannon Conklin

Wellness Entrepreneur, Holistic Practitioner, and Endlessly Curious about how to feel my best.

I created The Well Known Podcast because I believe wellness has never been more

confusing.

We’re surrounded by endless advice, trending protocols, and experts telling us what we should be doing. Yet many people still feel disconnected from their own bodies and unsure who or what to trust.

My journey into wellness wasn’t born from curiosity alone. It was shaped by personal experience, loss, and a desire to understand health on a deeper level. After navigating my own health challenges and losing my father to colon cancer at just 49 years old, I became determined to learn more about what truly influences our well-being.

For more than two decades, I’ve worked in the wellness space, helping people navigate everything from digestive health and nervous system regulation to recovery, resilience, and whole-body wellness. Along the way, one thing became clear: real wellness isn’t about following someone else’s protocol. It’s about understanding your own body.

As the founder of  Organic Edge⁠, I’ve had thousands of conversations with practitioners, researchers, founders, and people searching for answers. Those conversations inspired this podcast.
