✨Top 3 Supplements to Optimize Energy ✨

When clients come to me feeling tired and fatigued, I never just give a supplement and call it done. ⭐Be sure to read my recent post on getting to the root cause⭐

But it’s such a common question I get from people who want more energy and clarity throughout the day that I thought I’d share some of my favorite supplements:

1️⃣ CoQ10
Coenzyme Q10 is required for energy production at the cellular level. Some of the foods highest in CoQ10 are organ meats and fatty fish, so supplements might be helpful if you don’t eat these foods.

2️⃣ Reishi
Reishi and other medicinal mushrooms are adaptogens, meaning they support the body’s energy production and resilience to stress. Reishi can be taken as pills or as a powder mixed into coffee or tea.

3️⃣ B Complex
Vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B12 are needed for many different enzyme systems to work—particularly those involved in energy metabolism.

Also remember—not all supplements are created equal! Some have fillers, additives, and artificial colors. Others use cheaper and lower quality forms. It’s best to purchase from manufacturers you know you can trust.

This just in!!

Indoor plants remove toxins from the air—including cancerous compounds and gasoline fumes ☠️

🌿 A study out of Australia just found that a mix of indoor plants effectively removed 97% of the most toxic pollutants from indoor air in just 8 hours.

Most people spend 90% of their time indoors, where the air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoors, so this information is powerful.

Other studies have shown plants to help purify air, but this is the first to show they can remove gasoline fumes, which is one of the most common indoor air pollutants worldwide.

Not everything needs to be complicated ❌

In this case, better health might be as simple as adding a few plants to your home.

Update on Probiotic Safety 👇

Most people assume that if something is “natural” then it’s safe.

I recommend a lot of natural products and supplements to my clients—but only with specific intention and caution because here’s the thing:

Even natural products can be dangerous if:

X Taken by the wrong person
X Taken for the wrong reason
X Mixed with medications that interact
X Contaminated with potential toxins

To give you an example, The International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) just released an update on probiotic safety, saying:

✅ Probiotics should be used with extra caution in newborns, pregnancy, short-bowel syndrome, and people who are immunocompromised.
✅ Probiotic supplements should be tested for purity, potency, and potential contaminants.

I believe that if a natural product has the potential to do good (as in—to actually improve a person’s health) then it also has the potential to do harm. We can’t have one without the other!

One thing I do to keep my clients safe is to recommend products that meet the highest quality standards, such as using the most effective ingredients and third-party testing for purity.

Let’s respect natural products for the powerful therapeutics they are.

⬇️ Why am I so tired? ⬇️

Clients come to me because of weight gain, hormonal changes, or digestive problems, but the vast majority also struggle with FATIGUE.

Let’s assume a good doctor has already ruled out the most common medical causes of fatigue—like anemia, hypothyroid, rheumatoid arthritis, or diabetes.

Now let’s assume the fatigue is still there.

Here are 10 lesser-known causes of fatigue I look for as a functional medicine practitioner:

1️⃣ Medication Side Effects
Blood pressure medications, statins, antidepressants, antihistamines, and proton pump inhibitors can all cause fatigue.

2️⃣ Micronutrient Deficiencies
Nutrients needed for energy production include vitamin B12 and other B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and vitamin D.

3️⃣ Mitochondrial Function
Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, but they can become damaged by things like pollutants, environmental toxins, infections, medications, or nutrient deficiencies.

4️⃣ “Burnout”
What some call “adrenal fatigue” is more specifically a dysregulation of the HPA axis. It happens when chronic stress exhausts both the adrenal glands and the nervous system.

5️⃣ Stealth Infections
Lyme disease, EBV, fungal infections, or mold disrupt the immune system and contribute to fatigue.

6️⃣ Gut Problems
SIBO, IBS, and other digestive issues interfere with the absorption of nutrients needed for energy.

7️⃣ Hormones
Cortisol, DHEA, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and thyroid hormone all affect energy.

8️⃣ Over-Exercising
Both too much and too little exercise can leave the body feeling drained and exhausted.

9️⃣ Over-Drinking
Caffeine, sugary drinks, and alcohol put a strain on the nervous system and hormones.

🔟 Emotional Stress
Everything from anxiety to depression to just plain boredom can cause fatigue.

The point is that “fatigue” does not have one clear cause. We need to do the detective work to find the source in each beautifully unique individual.

🥱 Is it normal to be tired all the time?

Here are some things I often hear from new clients coming to me for help with functional medicine:

➡️ Some battle the snooze button every morning, only to drag themselves out of bed with their mind set on one thing—coffee.

➡️ Others crash in the afternoon with brain fog and trouble concentrating, pushing through until they can go home to their couch.

➡️ Most know they’d feel better with more exercise and healthier foods but can’t find the motivation to do it.

Fatigue is so common that it can seem to be the norm.

❌ But it’s not normal ❌

Follow along because I’m about to unpack a series of posts on what might be causing fatigue and what you can do to regain your energy 🙌

DIY Hand Massage to Stop Stress

📌 Save this post if you want to remember how to do a simple hand massage to stop stress in its tracks.

The massage is based on the concept of hand reflexology, which says that different parts of the hand correspond to different parts of the body. For example:

🖐 The outer side of your thumb corresponds to your spine

🖐 The pad of your thumb corresponds to your pituitary gland

🖐 The line many call the “life line” corresponds to your diaphragm

Chinese Medicine also includes a belief that different body parts can be influenced by acupuncture points on the hand.

Whether or not you believe these ideas, an intentional hand massage is calming and can help you put the breaks on stress.

There’s no wrong way! Try this:

1️⃣Spread your fingers wide. With the opposite hand, massage the entire palm with your thumb.

2️⃣Use your thumb to massage all the way to the tip of each finger, pulling when you reach the end.

3️⃣Massage 2 other targeted points: the pad of your thumb (which corresponds to the pituitary gland) and the soft spot between your thumb and first finger (which corresponds to the adrenal glands)

Breathe deeply while you do the massage, and repeat for both hands.

Why to end your shower on cold

🥶 Hear me out on this one.

Ending your shower on cold might not sound like the most comfortable thing to do, but that’s actually the point.

The blast of cold is a quick and sudden stress to your body that can trigger an array of health benefits.

Just 30 seconds of cold is enough to benefit:

✅ Circulation - the temperature change causes blood vessels near the skin to contract, sending more blood flow to the internal organs.

✅ Immune Function - one study found people who ended on cold had fewer illnesses.

✅ Healthy Skin - cold water on the skin closes your pores and decreases the loss of natural oils.

✅ Mental Alertness - sudden cold triggers a sympathetic nervous system response that activates your brain.

There are some safety caveats, especially in people who have heart or circulatory problems, so please talk with a healthcare professional to be sure cold showers will be safe for you.

Will you try it?

Try This! H**p Hearts on Toast

😋 H**p hearts on toast is not only tasty but also so good for you!

How to make it:

🍞 Toast your favorite bread
🥜 Spread with nut butter
🍌 Slice bananas on top
✨ Sprinkle with h**p hearts & cinnamon

Not many vegetarian foods provide omega-3 fats (they’re most common in fish), but h**p hearts do! That means h**p hearts are an excellent food for anybody struggling with inflammation.

H**p hearts are also an excellent source of magnesium and even contain some protein and fiber.

🤷‍♀‍ Why are they called h**p hearts?

Because they are the soft inner part of h**p seeds after they’ve been shelled.

Drop me a comment if you have other favorite ways to eat them!

Spotlight on Magnesium

Hate cramps, soreness, tension, and anxiety?

Then you’re going to love magnesium.

It’s an essential mineral that most people take for granted, but in my opinion it doesn’t get the spotlight it deserves.

Magnesium is a great relaxer. Among the things it relaxes are:

🔹 Muscles (think cramps & tension)
🔹 Blood Vessels (think blood pressure)
🔹 Mind (think anxiety & restlessness)
🔹 Bowels (think constipation)

I like to take magnesium in the evening or before bed to wind down, but it’s fine to take it any time of day.

It won’t make you tired—just maybe a little more calm.
