Your nutritionist’s supplements
What supplements do I take as a nutritionist?
Sometimes people are curious about what vitamins and supplements I take as a nutritionist. I don’t often share, because our personal nutritional needs are highly subjective and what gaps I have in my diet and what makes me feel my best might not be the same as anyone else. This is for informational purposes only, please schedule a consultation if you would like to discuss optimizing your diet or determining what kind of supplements would be best for you. I am not being paid to advertise any specific brand or product, these opinions are my own.
Curcumin - I love UltraCur’s curcumin complex. Turmeric is an excellent anti-inflammatory agent but it has poor absorption. This formula makes it easier to absorb and I really truly feel the difference when I take it.
L-tyrosine - amino acid precursor to dopamine. As an ADHD girl, I find L-tyrosine helps give me a good baseline for dopamine and makes it easier to take care of myself and stick to routines.
DIM - (Diindolylmethane) is a powerful phytochemical found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables. It helps the liver do its job and can promote the excretion of excess estrogen. For me, I find it evens out hormonal fluctuations throughout the month and makes things like acne and PMS significantly less noticeable.
Magnesium complex - I find taking magnesium after a hard workout helps prevent DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) and promotes good sleep.
Probiotic - keeps bloating at bay, promotes a healthy immune system, and helps prevent GI irregularities.
Beef liver - if I am not eating a lot of red meat at any given time, I will add a beef liver supplement for some added vitamin A, B vitamins, choline, and iron.
Fish oil - if I’m not eating salmon frequently, I will pop a fish oil into the rotation for some omega-3s.
