This curation is meant to aid in the collection and spark interest in the importance of a high quality trauma and first aid kit.

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.

If you're looking to boost your immune system, improve digestion, enhance mental clarity, or support overall vitality, I've curated a list of supplements that I use on the regular. You'll find an array of vitamins and minerals to herbal remedies and superfoods, each item is chosen for its efficacy and quality. I've struggled for years with my gut health and digestion, so each product here is tried and one that genuinely helps me manage and heal. This is on-going so I'll make additions to this list as they arise.

I have a post on my Instagram with all the research I've done on the topic.

Every pick is US-available.

What I look for in a “must have” item: •Functional (does it do the job right?) •Affordability (does the cost fit the need?) •Reliability (does it work every time?) •Longevity (will it hold up to the task for the time I need it to?) There are other factors of course and these are not necessarily in the same order every time. But I’m not one to throw money in the wind. So this list gets checked off every time for sure.

Are you taking a GLP-1 medication? I want to share with you some great products that have helped me be successful. I’ve never been somebody that liked supplements, but you pretty much need them during this journey. I have found some great ones here… I wish they let us post something about products NOT to buy, because I could definitely tell you some bad ones as well. But here are the winners! By the way, I am currently down 38 pounds since starting on Christmas Day. I would love to see you succeed like I have!

I’ve struggled with solid sleep in my 40s and these are the products to get that restful sleep I NEED.

Three years ago I went outside to check that my spigots were covered before a pending storm was to descend over Nashville, TN. I slipped on black ice, wedged my running shoe between two pavers, and heard my ankle snap. I had never broken a bone, but I immediately knew the pain was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I screamed so loud my neighbor came over to help me crawl inside. That night the city was covered with 6" of snow and if you know anything about living in the southeast, that much snow equals paralysis! It was six days before I could get to the doctor's office for them to declare fractures on both sides of my ankle joint and for surgery to be recommended. Now, the x-ray of my ankle looks a lot like a fence post someone screwed a bunch of screws into through a metal plate! Before I went into surgery, I went into deep research mode to put together my “Ankle Healing Protocol”. I committed to doing whatever it took to restore full function to my ankle. I was about to turn 50 years old and hadn't lived an active, healthy life thus far just to trigger a cascade effect that would make me feel a lot older than I was. I'm happy to report that I was jogging again in 3 months and can do all my regular yoga poses as I could before surgery. I have since shared this “Protocol” with multiple other people who had similar surgeries and they experienced similar results. Take and apply whatever resonates with you and leave the rest! And as always, use your judgment. Consult your doctor as I am a middle-aged woman trying to lead a happy, healthy life, not a doctor or a physical therapist!
