Supplements don't need FDA approval before they're sold, so I look for independent testing: USP Verified, NSF Certified for Sport, IFOS, or published contaminant screening. Every pick here names its testing on the product page. This isn't medical advice; check with your doctor before starting anything new.

Take a deep breath, let it all out, and dive into my list of the best breathing techniques for relaxation and focus.

I just got my breast augmentation and was a little confused on what to buy to prepare for this surgery. I asked my friends that have also had this surgery and this is both their and my doctors recommendations. My mother also had surgery 2 weeks before I did so we both compiled this list together.

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

Real talk: Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday and my busiest season in the chair. Pie, candied yams, caramel everything, a bottle of red wine nobody asked for — and then the first week of December is a parade of chipped teeth and 'it only hurts when I chew'. So this year I'm getting ahead of it. This is the kit I wish every patient had in their bag before the holiday: post-feast rescue tools, travel-ready oral care for the trip home, and the teeth-friendly snacks and swaps that let you enjoy the whole spread without the January root canal energy. Vulnerability disclosure: I once cracked a molar on a rogue piece of pecan pie crust at a family dinner and had to sit through dessert pretend-chewing on one side. Never again. As always, this is general guidance, not a substitute for your own doctor or dentist.
