This is a list of my favorite products I used every day to help control my POTS syndrome & dysautonomia symptoms. Just wanted to share a little Spoonie support!
These are health products I use. These are in no way to be construed as medical advice. All products should be used with caution and following the recommended directions on the packages. I am only including them because they are products that work for me. I have discussed all of these with my doctor and take them with her approval.
Plant spirits are powerful healing allies. They are the original pharmacy. Here are some of my best healing herbs, healing foods, energetically healing plants and friends from the plant kingdom
PLEASE READ: Everything in this list is not to be taken as medical advice. I am simply showing what things have helped me with my LC symptoms. If you come across something that you think might help, please speak with a licensed medical professional about it. That being said, I'll share a little bit of my history. My post-COVID issues started in January 2021. Today (as of June 2024), I'm about 90% recovered. The symptoms that I still have are mild fatigue and slight sensitivity to touching certain things. I had a lot of other symptoms (chest pain, SOB, air hunger, heart palpitations, etc.) in the past that eventually resolved on their own, so in this list, I will share some things that I did to help with certain issues. I've had little success with traditional western medicine and had a good amount of relief with integrative/functional/eastern medicine. You may notice that some of the things in this list seem rather “woo woo” or full of quackery, but I implore you to keep an open mind. I was once in that resistant mindset until I gave these things a try.
This is a “mami” edition. Of course guys can use it too. As a girl who hasn’t been doing home workouts or weights at the gym and is reminiscing, I wanted to share with you all and let you in on my gym tips. (Im thinking about doing a course with plan meals I used and the routines.) Enjoy the basics though 🙂↕️!

Self-care has grown beyond bubble baths and face masks—it’s now about creating environments and habits that feed every part of who you are. The way we eat, the places we go, and the services we choose all shape our energy, our mood, and ultimately, our health. Start with food that loves you back. Look for places that serve clean, nutrient-rich meals—smoothie bars that use organic produce, cafés that offer adaptogenic lattes, and restaurants that make freshness their signature. If you’re cooking at home, think of it as an act of love. Create a small ritual around it: light a candle, play music, and eat slowly. Food is energy, and energy responds to intention. Then, invest in services that support your wellness journey. Maybe it’s a float therapy session to quiet your nervous system, a sound bath to balance your energy, or a lymphatic drainage massage that leaves you feeling light and renewed. These aren’t indulgences—they’re recalibrations for a body that carries energy.

I have been using supplements since I was 30. I have switched certain kinds but I believe supplements help fill the areas where our food doesn't provide. My husband takes a few of these supplements also.
Out of the trillions of supplements I’ve taken these are the ones I’m vibing with right now. I use these to supplement a nutritious diet. And no supplement will be better than doing the emotional Work and a good night’s sleep.

Since giving birth 16 months ago, I have gotten back into working out and eating healthy, these items helped me along the way. Strength training has been key for me!
when it comes to treating and healing under the broad spectrum of mental health, one size does NOT fit all. If affirmations give you hives, and forced positivity makes you roll your eyes so hard you strain your optic nerve, then you've come to the right place my friend. In this house, the treatment plan is liberal use of sarcasm and dark humour, a fuckton of rude words, and a soupcon of rage for flavour. Insight focus on the “in”, not the “sight”, and worksheets are worth the paper they're printed on. Patient - heal thyself! For the physicians surely won't.
As a commercial model, I structure my eating on maintenance and weight loss to be photo ready without; A) starving myself or B) cutting out my favorite foods. No amount of exercise will burn fat the way a caloric deficit will and these options will help you stay full while burning fat.
As a certified athletic trainer who works with athletes and works out myself, these are all my go-to items and exercises for active recovery days, post-workout routines, and post-game sore muscles.
as a fourth year medical student who has completed a years worth of clinical rotations, here are some recommendations of things I appreciated having with me/made my experience better
natural herbal supplements for immune system health, gut health, mental health, and healing hormonal & inflammatory acne :-) these systems are ALL inextricably linked!! so supporting one system will inevitably support the other systems and i truly recommend everyone to take all majority if not all of the supplements i recommend. these recommendations are only of the highest quality, as it is EXTREMELY important to use only high-quality, organic supplements, i know it can be more pricy, but the cheaper ones often have a lot of junk in them and are not as potent in the supplement, thus making it ineffective. some of the best brands that might not be organic but are still good quality, and most affordable are “nature's way," “solaray”, and “NOW”

I hope you can find something on this list that help you out! ;)
We had our first eczema baby 2 years ago and let me tell me the $ we spent trying to find what works, is insane. Under age 2, doctors cannot prescribe anything that's not a steriod. We had to do our own research and trial and error EVERYTHING. With many having eczema, you know it's frustrating and it's hard to tell what works and if it does, maybe later or doesn't. It's Frustrating. I put together a few things that lasted us more than 1 purchase to see if it helps anyone.

It's a wild ride filled with power surges, random aches, and a LOT of laughing at myself. 😂 This board is for all my silver foxes who know that getting older isn’t about slowing down — it’s about leveling up, laughing harder, and yes, occasionally wondering if you’re melting from the inside out. 🔥 Here you'll find all the wellness goodies, hilarious merch, comfy clothes, and life-saving mood boosters that are helping me stay fabulous (and sane) while Mother Nature plays her little games. 🙃 Because menopause, wrinkles, and wisdom aren’t problems — they’re badges of honor.
