Foundation - Universal Hormone Support

+44 more items in Foundation - Universal Hormone Support

Your body builds hormones out of nutrients and clears them using nutrients. Hormonal birth control, chronic stress, restrictive eating, and years of high-output work all deplete the same short list: B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and folate. When those run low, hormone production slows, detox pathways stall, and your skin loses the raw material it needs to repair itself. Foundation restores that substrate. It is not a treatment for any one complaint — it is the floor everything else is built on. Patients who skip it and go straight to a targeted protocol consistently underperform, because we are asking a depleted system to do advanced work. What it supports: steady energy, mood stability, cycle regularity, skin barrier integrity, and the digestive environment that governs how your hormones are recycled. Keep in mind Foundation runs continuously and underneath every other protocol in this system. It is never the thing you stop when we add something new. Expect four to eight weeks before you feel the shift. Nutrient repletion is a tissue-level process, not a same-week one. We use activated forms of certain nutrients. A meaningful percentage of people cannot efficiently convert the standard forms sold retail, which is why an over-the-counter equivalent often produces no result. If we suspect bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine, one component of Foundation is deliberately removed. Do not add it back on your own — in that setting it reliably makes symptoms worse.
