💊Let’s talk supplements 💊
In my practice I use very specific supplementation to address root cause toxicity, dysbiosis, and repair.
🔥After the “fires have been put out” we want to maintain healthy function in the body.
A maintenance supplementation program for me, includes a multi mineral, vitamin d&k, methylated b vitamins, and a high quality fish oil/essential fatty acid supplement. I also include adrenal support in my personal program, because my adrenals are always trying to let me down 🫠
Minerals. Minerals are inorganic compounds found in the soil and water. They are taken up by plants and animals and we get them from eating those whole foods. The problem is, our soil is depleted. Even if you eat tons of whole food it’s hard to get all you need. Processed food and sugars rob you of your minerals. Your thyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, and really every cell in the body requires minerals to work correctly. I like CT Minerals from Cellcore, Catalyn from Standard Process, and Spectra Min liquid from Energeix for this.
Vitamins. Vitamins are organic compounds found in animal and plant products. Vitamins B and C are water soluble. This means that your body excretes them in your urine. Vitamins A, D, K, E are fat soluble. Excess is stored in fat tissue and the liver. Excess, especially in hard to use, artificial forms can be harmful, but these are still required and essential for a healthy functioning body. All supplementation used in my practice is made from whole food, quality sourced ingredients that the body can safely use. Not cheaply created chemical forms found in many over the counter items. I like D3K2 Pro from Cellcore, DV3 from systemic formulas, Cataplex D from standard process, and D3K2 spray from energetix. Even at the end of summer my entire family had less than ideal vitamin d in our labs. In Northern Michigan, we need supplementation. Methylated b vitamins are a form that is made readily usable to the body, especially for those who have the MTHFR mutation or other variants. I love Methylgenic from systemic formulas and Whole Food Folate from standard process. ❗️Important note. Fortified foods contain harmful, hard to use forms of things like folate and iron. Avoid enriched foods ❗️
Fish Oils or other Essential Fatty Acid supplementation provide health fats for cellular membrane function, brain health, heart health, and more. It’s important to use quality brands that don’t have poor sources or rancid oils. I love Nordic Naturals and Standard Process for this. There are several different types available, some are more potent with DHA, some with EPA, some are more balanced. I love to use DHA rich forms with kiddos who need help with focus at school.
❤️I hope this is helpful information. If you have individual questions about what might be the right fit for you or your family, please ask!
🙏I also ask, that if you found this information helpful and choose to include these things in your daily routine, please purchase them directly from me instead of online. You never know what you are getting online, and buying from me supports my small business and allows me to keep helping and education people ❤️
