I am always looking for healthier or alternative options to help with day-to-day ailments and to keep my immune system supported and healthy! These are some of my go-to health supplements that myself and my family use regularly. These supplements have worked wonderful for us. Each person is different so please consult with your doctor before making changes.

I was diagnosed with R.A. in 2006 and it's been life changing. The pain can be debilitating at times, and it really sucks to have to rely on my husband and others to help me with little things. Like opening a bottle of water, a package of food, etc. It hurts to chop food, pull my straight leg pants up, button anything. I recently discovered these tools to make my life easier. I created this list for others who might be experiencing the same things I am. I hope you will find something on this list that you didn't know about before that can help you live a better quality of life. This space will have tools, gadgets, resources and whatever I can find that might help you.

Everything I didn't know I needed to recover from my mastectomy surgery. Thankfully, my friends and family got me started with these must-haves for comfort, safety, and encouragement to heal!

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's 15 years ago. 13 years ago we discovered a small cancerous tumor on my thyroid and had it removed. I eat gluten free, take Armour Thyroid (mostly because I never felt good while on Synthroid/Levothyroxine) and I take supplements that help support my gut, liver and kidneys. I am human-sometimes I fall off the wagon of consistency with supplements, but when I feel my Hashimoto's starting to flare I go back on this regimen and it helps to calm everything down. In addition to supplements I practice hot yoga (the best detox IMO), practice diaphragmatic breathing to calm my Vagus nerve, use a rebounder periodically for lymphatic drainage and I have accupuncture one per month. It's frustrating to have to figure all of this out on my own, and it's not cheap, but there is nothing worse than feeling crappy and nothing better than feeling good so I do what I can to control what I can control

These chronic illness support tools help with pain management, fatigue, dizziness, joint instability, and daily symptom tracking. All items are non-medical tools that I personally use to conserve energy, improve mobility, and stay independent at home and on the go. Ideal for people with chronic pain, POTS, EDS, autoimmune conditions, or limited mobility looking for low-effort daily support.

MTHFR is a gene that provides the instructions for an enzyme of the same name, which converts dietary folate into its active form, methylfolate. When there is a mutation in the MTHFR gene, this conversion process can be less efficient, potentially impacting the body's ability to process folate and homocysteine. This can affect numerous bodily functions, including DNA repair, hormone metabolism, and the creation of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Here are my low-tox recommendations and essentials i’ve found through the years!

Low calorie and low sugar beverages that satisfy your cravings without making you feel terrible

Because sometimes your body just needs a supportive squeeze — like a weighted hug for your blood vessels. Compression gear can help with things like POTS, circulation, or even just feeling more “held together” when your nervous system is acting feral. BUT, not everyone vibes with compression (and in some cases it’s not safe — so always check with your doc before you go full sausage-casing chic). On this list, you’ll find: 👖 Compression shorts, leggings, socks & sleeves 🛋 Alternatives for folks who can’t do compression but still need grounding (weighted blankets, cooling wraps, and other sneaky helpers) 🌀 Options that support without overstimulating your nervous system Compression = one tool in the survival kit, not the whole toolbox. 🥰

I have spent the last 3 years on a quest to improve my PCOS symptoms. Consistency is hard, but below is a regmine I landed on that has led to the biggest reduction in my symptoms. These supplements combined with a gentle workout routine has helped me lose weight, kick cravings, majorly reduce hairloss, and feel better overall. Not everyone has access to the funds to take all of these supplements so I have organized in what I believe to be the most important and then the nice to haves. Take these changes slow to be sustainable change. Don't go buying every single thing reccomended thinking you will do it all at once all day everyday. Start small, build up…this will help you ID what actually helps you. Give everything six months.Don't be afraid to explore and find different options, but the supplements listed from WholesomeStory are specifically designed for folks with PCOS and infertility. They have the best combos to help. Something is better than nothing though, find what works for you!Most importantly, remember: FOOD IS NOT YOUR ENEMY AND RESTRICTING YOUR DIET AND BEING FEARFUL OF FOOD IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU. All it idoes is increase your anxiety and stress around eating, which elevates your cortisol…this just leads to more damage for your body and makes things worse than any particular food would
