Vitamin D3 and K2 supplement I take regularly. I’ve noticed that my vitamin D levels tend to drop when I stop taking it, so I like keeping it as part of my routine. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, while vitamin K co...

Yasenka Imuno Boost
I started taking omega-3 because I wanted extra support for my overall health and NORSAN Omega-3 Total is the one I used before. Now I use other one, but still would recomed this one. It depends on your body needs
NORSAN Omega-3 Total
I started taking these vitamin D3 drops when my vitamin D level was only 10. I used them regularly at the time, and they were part of my routine while I was working on getting my vitamin D levels back up. Highly recommended

Flare-Up Support
Things that help me get through flare up days.. fatigue and body aches, brain fog and the need for extra rest and comfort
On days when I just want to or need to stay in bed this tray is so handy. I keep my tea, snacks and phone close by without having to get up every time. I also like the natural bamboo look and the fact that the legs fold away when I’m done using it

Some days rest is exactly what I need. I’m learning to listen to my body, slow down when symptoms hit and stop feeling guilty for not getting everything done. Rest is part of taking care of myself, not something I need to earn 💚

I decided to go gluten-free and dairy-free after being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and this way of eating has worked well for me ✨
