Gut Health and Wellness Staples
13
items Between chronic illness and just trying to feel my best, gut health has become a real priority for me. These are the supplements and staples that actually made a difference instead of just sitting in the cabinet unused.
I take this every morning and it is one of the few supplements I have actually stuck with long term. The capsule is delayed release so it does not upset my stomach the way some probiotics have in the past.
Ritual Synbiotic+ Probiotic Supplement
I stir a scoop of this into my coffee every morning and cannot tell it is even in there. My nails and hair have gotten so much stronger since I started, and it dissolves completely instead of clumping up.
Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder 20oz
This is what I reach for instead of regular soda now, it actually tastes good and satisfies that craving without the sugar crash after. The strawberry lemon and doc pop flavors are the ones that disappear fastest in my house.
Poppi Prebiotic Soda, The Classics, 12 Oz, 12 Pack
The original flavor is my go to and it is easy to find at most grocery stores which matters a lot when you drink it as often as I do. I keep a few bottles in the fridge at all times.
GT's CLASSIC KOMBUCHA Original - 10 fl oz Bottle
I blend this into a smoothie a few mornings a week when I need something more filling before dance classes. It has probiotics built in too which is a nice bonus and the vanilla flavor is not overly sweet.
Garden of Life Raw Organic Fit Protein Powder
I mix a tablespoon of this with water most mornings and it is not my favorite taste but I have gotten used to it. The mother in the bottle settles at the bottom so I always give it a good shake before pouring.
Organic Apple Cider Vinegar - Bragg Live Foods
This is my swap for regular coffee on the days I do not want the jittery feeling. It still has caffeine but feels smoother, and the lion mane and chaga are supposed to help with focus which I definitely notice.
Four Sigmatic Organic Focus Mushroom Ground Coffee
I take this about thirty minutes before bed and it has made a noticeable difference in how easily I fall asleep. It does not leave me groggy the next morning either which was my biggest worry going in.
Magnesium Glycinate 400mg for Sleep & Recovery
I take this in the evening on nights when my brain will not slow down. It helps me relax without making me feel groggy the next morning, which is important with how early I have to be up for dance classes.
Nutricost L-Theanine 200mg Capsules
This has been part of my morning routine for a while now. I add it in after I have been on my feet teaching all day and my joints are feeling it.
Bio Schwartz Turmeric Curcumin 1500mg
I started taking these with bigger meals and it has made such a difference in how I feel afterward. Simple swap but it works.
Pure Encapsulations Digestive Enzymes Ultra
I keep these in my bag for after dance classes. They help me feel human again way faster than plain water alone.
LMNT Zero Sugar Electrolytes Citrus Salt 30ct
This is the one staple I always keep stocked. It keeps everything moving along and I notice a difference on the days I skip it.
Metamucil 3-in-1 Psyllium Fiber Capsules
