After 11 years of critical care nursing (ER/ICU) I have learned a thing or two about what is ACTUALLY needed vs all the things we are told we need. Here's a few of my top choices, including things you should definitely splurge on and a few things I think you can go cheaper.

I love researching and learning about how amazing our bodies are! It's not about how we look but how we feel! 💪🤗🌟 As a life long dancer I am passionate about having a strong, functional, and happy healthy body. Over the years I have taken some wear and tear. These are things I have done extensive research on and implement into my lifestyle. These are some of the things that keep me going.

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

A collection of items that make living with Interstital Cystitis as comfortable as can be. I know IC is absolute suffering and I hope that some of my suggestions can benefit even one other IC baddie. Stay strong, lovies. Please bare in mind, IC varies greatly depending on the individual and their circumstances! What works for me may not work for you and vice versa. Stay patient with your body and do what works for you, just you. Hoping this helps some of you who may be struggling!!

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 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.

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
