My Actual Supplement Stack for Hormone & Metabolic Health
21
items These aren't supplements I saw on TikTok. These are the ones that support a full hormone and metabolic health protocol I built after 8 years of being sick and dismissed. My estradiol went from 8.4 to 99. My HOMA-IR went from 3.67 to 1.72. But here's ...

🔑 THE FOUNDATION — What Actually Gave Me My Life Back
Before you scroll to the supplements, you need to know this: no supplement stack in the world would have fixed what was wrong with me. I needed hormone replacement therapy, and it took moving to Mexico and walking into a pharmacy to finally get it. T...
What it is: Bioidentical estradiol in a transdermal gel. You apply it to your skin daily and it absorbs directly into your bloodstream. Why I use it: My estradiol was at 8.4. EIGHT POINT FOUR. I was having debilitating hot flashes, joint pain so bad ...
Oestrogel — Estradiol Gel
What it is: Synthetic T4 thyroid hormone. Standard treatment for hypothyroidism and suppressed thyroid function. Why I use it: My thyroid function was suppressed and my US doctors kept "watching" it instead of treating it. Fatigue, weight gain, hair ...
Eutirox 50mcg — Levothyroxine (T4)
What it is: Synthetic T3 thyroid hormone. Used when your body isn't properly converting T4 into the active T3 form. Why I use it: Even after starting Eutirox, I was still having symptoms. Turns out my body wasn't converting T4 to T3 efficiently — a c...
Triyotex 5mcg — Liothyronine (T3)
What it is: Bioidentical progesterone taken orally every night before bed. Why I use it: Progesterone balances estrogen, supports sleep, reduces anxiety, and protects the uterine lining (if you still have a uterus). I take 200mg every night and it co...
Progesterone 200mg — Bioidentical
I'm not a doctor and I'm not telling anyone to self-medicate. What I AM telling you is that these treatments exist, they're affordable, they're available, and millions of women are suffering unnecessarily because the US medical system refuses to take...

⬆️ MY CURRENT DAILY STACK
These are the supplements in my cabinet right now. This is what I take daily as of 2026.
Why I take it: My HOMA-IR (insulin resistance marker) was 3.67 — well into the danger zone. Nobody told me. I found it myself, researched it myself, and added berberine to my protocol. It's now 1.72. Berberine is sometimes called "nature's Ozempic" b...
Berberine 97% - 90 Capsules
Why I take it: NAC is a precursor to glutathione — your body's master antioxidant. It supports liver detox, respiratory health, and cellular protection. I switched to Mary Ruth's because I trust their formulations and quality standards. When you're r...
Mary Ruth's NAC (N-Acetyl L-Cysteine)
Why I take it: Selenium is a trace mineral that most people are deficient in, and it's critical for thyroid function and immune health. I added this after digging into the research on thyroid support — my thyroid was being "watched" for years but nev...
NOW Selenium — Thyroid & Immune Support
Why I take it: This is my upgraded omega + vitamin D combo. Nordic Naturals is the gold standard for fish oil— third-party tested, no fishy aftertaste, and the D3 addition means I'm covering two bases in one capsule. I switched to this from a cheaper...
Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega-D3
Why I take it: Turmeric is one of the most researched anti-inflammatory compounds, and Garden of Life makes a whole-food, fermented version that your body can actually absorb. I take it for systemic inflammation— after years of undiagnosed hormone is...
Garden of Life Turmeric — Organic Fermented
Why I take it: This is a copper-based mitochondrial support supplement, and it's one of the more niche items in my stack. Mitochondria are your cells' energy factories — when they're not functioning well, everything suffers: energy, brain function, r...
MitoSynergy MitoActivator EX Support
Why I take it: This has stayed in my stack through every rotation — that tells you something. 60 billion CFU with 10 strains plus organic prebiotics. Gut health is the foundation of everything — hormones, immunity, mood, skin. It's affordable, doesn'...
Physician's Choice Probiotic — 60 Billion CFU
Why I take it: Another one that's never left my rotation. Zinc + quercetin together are an immune support powerhouse — quercetin helps zinc get into your cells where it actually works. I've reordered this multiple times. It's my go-to during any seas...
Sandhu's Zinc Quercetin — Immune Support
Why I take it: Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that helps your body handle stress without the crash. I use the powder form because it goes straight into my morning ritual — chicory root, cacao powder, and ashwagandha in hot water from my copper kettle. I...
Micro Ingredients Ashwagandha Root Powder
Why I take it: I keep these on hand and take them before heavy meals or the occasional cheat meal. Systemic proteolytic enzymes that help with digestion, gas, and bloating. Contains bromelain, nattokinase, and protease— enzymes your body produces les...

🔄 THE ROTATION — Supplements That Got Me Here
I'm not currently taking these daily, but every one of them played a role in rebuilding my health. I rotate them in and out depending on what my body needs at any given time. Think of this as the full toolkit — My Current Daily Stack is what I'm usin...
Why it's in my rotation: This was my anchor supplement during the heaviest phase of my hormone rebuild. DIM supports estrogen metabolism and detox, and D-Glucarate helps your body clear out excess hormones. I ordered this 4+ times — it was part of th...
Calcium D-Glucarate with DIM — Hormone Balance
Why it's in my rotation: This pairs D3 with K2, which helps your body actually use the vitamin D. I've since moved to the Nordic Naturals combo that includes D3 with my omega, but this is an excellent standalone option if you want a dedicated D3+K2 s...
Designs for Health Vitamin D Synergy — D3 + K2
Why it's in my rotation: When your hormones are wrecked, your adrenals are usually right behind them. I added this during a phase where my energy was crashing hard every afternoon. Thorne is a premium brand —they test everything. I rotate this in dur...
THORNE Adrenal Cortex — Cortisol & Stress Support
Why it's in my rotation: This specific form of magnesium crosses the blood-brain barrier, which most magnesium supplements don't. I use it for sleep quality and mental clarity. If you're dealing with brain fog in midlife — that's not aging, that migh...
Kappa Nutrition Magbrain Magnesium L-Threonate
Why it's in my rotation: Three forms of magnesium — glycinate, taurate, and citrate — covering muscle relaxation, heart health, and digestion. I rotate between this and the Magbrain depending on what my body needs. Most women are magnesium deficient ...
