So often I am asked by our community about my supplements. I often say that my life was saved by my supplements. Ok, so that may be a little much but that will give you an idea of how much my life changed the day I began to take them.
Truth is that our food supply just doesn’t supply our bodies with everything we need. Not to mention the runs through the drive-thru & late night ice cream. Along with the daily stress we encounter and a panic attack here and there, we are just depleted!
One thing I learned on my journey was that even a slight depletion in a vitamin, mineral or amino acid can really affect the way you feel. Why not fill in the gaps with a daily well produced supplement as a safety net to ensure that you are running efficiently and with the tools your body needs to cope & recover.
So here is my list of what I take. I included a little snapshot of my supplement packages so you can see what is all included. What I have stopped taking is the 5-HTP and the Gaba. Only because the anxiety symptoms are gone, but they are in my cabinet in case of an emergency. I used to take Gaba everyday at 3pm & 5-HTP at 7:30 and 10pm because I feared the night so much.
If you want to start on a vitamin ritual here is my advice. Get the book The Mood Cure by Julia Ross (you can find a link on our Egg Bookshelf), and look into taking quality supplements. The ones I take can be found at Jigsaw Health. Formulated with care and quality by Patrick Sullivan who started out with issues just like ours and wanted to find a natural cure. Just like I did he is doing great today.You can learn more about his journey in The Coop on our site. Also Jigsaw is generous enough to offer us $10 off each order. The link is on our homepage, you can use it as many times as you like (one per order).
I can’t say enough about supplements, but one member of our community shared this with me this weekend “I can’t believe that 5-HTP can make suce a difference in my life. Why don’t more people know about the power of supplements!” I couln’t agree more! That’s exactly what I had in mind when this site began. I wanted to share all the tips I learned along the way that nobody talked about…other options.
So here is my daily ritual. Please feel free to email me anytime. If you have questions or concerns that I don’t have the answers too – I have an amazing team that will have them.
Daily:
Morning
Jigsaw Health’s “Jigsaw Health”
AM Packet
Lunch Time
Metamucil Fiber (1 serving). Make sure to look for the formulation without Aspartame. I had to look hard.
Evening
Jigsaw Health’s “Jigsaw Health”
PM Packet
The packets are awesome to throw in my purse and takes out the guesswork and closet full of bottles.
…with dinner I also take probiotics (my choice is the Jigsaw brand). Makes ordering from one place easier.
Here is the list from my supplement box just so you can compare.
