Painful Periods and Endometriosis: Foundational Protocol
3 more items in Painful Periods and Endometriosis: Foundational Protocol
Goals of treating painful periods and endometriosis are to address the underlying causes: inflammation, immune dysfunction, and hormone imbalance.  In addition to an anti-inflammatory diet, gut health support, and stress management practices, these powerful supplements will help tremendously. Omega 3 fatty acids are necessary for hormone synthesis, support healthy progesterone, and are anti-inflammatory – which decreases pain. Probiotic : gut health is foundational to estrogen detox and healthy immune function. Immune dysfunction is always involved in painful periods and hormone imbalance. Magnesium is the "miracle mineral" for period health. It reduces cramping and PMS while supporting healthy estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, adrenal, and blood sugar balance. Curcumin , the active constituent in turmeric, is anti-inflammatory and decreases excess estrogen. Vitamin D is anti-inflammatory, immune modulating, hormone balancing, and decreases abnormal cellular growth (decreases endometrial lesions). Crampbark is an excellent herb for reducing painful menstrual cramps. Great to have on hand!

Perimenopause
2 more items in Perimenopause
Here are some top supplements I choose for you to help navigate the hormonal changes of perimenopause (this is the time before your last ever period). Maca: a superfood that addresses multiple hormone imbalances at once - thyroid, cortisol, estrogen. It also supports energy, mood, and metabolism! Hydration pearls: These are excellent if you are experiencing vaginal dryness, which is a common symptom of lower estrogen levels. Magnesium glycinate : this is magnesium bound to a calming amino acid - glycine. It helps with hormone detoxification and balance, soothes cortisol, supports a healthy gut and sleep. Taurine : is great for perimenopausal PMS symptoms, hot flashes, sleep, mood, insulin resistance, and migraine prevention. It works best when taken with magnesium. Taurine helps reverse insulin resistance and prevents obesity. Additionally, it can reduce inflammation, suppress appetite, and support the mitochondria. Estrogen slows biosynthesis of endogenous taurine, so adequate intake is more important in women.  Taurine calms the brain and soothes anxiety. It's structure is similar to GABA (the most calming neurotransmitter)to and glycine (a calming amino acid). This amino acid also builds muscle and bone density, preventing osteoporosis. It hastens recovery from iron-deficient anemia and boost hemoglobin. Taurine is helpful for hot flashes because it supports GABA and insulin sensitivity.

Cold Care: Foundational Protocol
Here are some supplements I use to support my health throughout the fall/winter transition. You can use them as an additional boost if you feel "vulnerable" to getting sick (stress, around sick people, traveling, not sleeping enough, etc). You definitely want to have these on hand to support your body if you do end up getting sick. They will help over an upper respiratory infection (cold, flu, sinus infection) more easily and quickly, in ways that actually nourish your body without simply suppressing symptoms. Remember, when we suppress symptoms, it actually weakens our immune system in the long-term and can make colds last longer. Astragalus is an excellent immune tonic. It strengthens the immune system and tonifies the adrenals, which improves energy and stamina. As a side note, it is also helps prevent Lyme disease.

I included several options for the throat sprays as they tend to sell out quickly this time of year! All the ones on this protocol are great though! If you are pregnant , safe herbs to take include: elderberry and echinacea. Vitamin C (up to 6 grams/day), colloidal silver, and the ReBoost Zinc spray are all effective and safe options. Also, double up on your vitamin D supplement!

Male Fertility and Libido: Comprehensive Protocol
FH Pro: Sperm are some of the most mitochondria-rich cells in the body - because they need so much energy! This combination supplement provides mitochondria-nourishing key nutrients like: CoQ10, N-acetyl cysteine, zinc, selenium, and folate. These nutrients improve sperm count, quality, and speed. These strong antioxidants reverse age-related damage to the sperm and protect sperm from oxidative damage.   Nordic Naturals Omega 3 : Sperm cell membranes contain high amounts of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are required for optimal sperm cell flexibility and movement. Omega-3 DHA is the most abundant fatty acid found in the membranes of sperm cells; it plays a dominant role in sperm performance. Unfortunately, Americanized diets generally contain high amounts of omega-6 fatty acids and saturated fat, and relatively little amounts of omega-3s, including DHA. Optimizing omega 3 will support optimal fertility while also helping mood (anxiety/depression) and cardiovascular health (while supporting healthy cholesterol levels). This omega 3 supplement also has male-fertility boosting nutrient CoQ10, which is "ubiquinone"- ubiquitous = predominant in the sperm. CoQ10 supports the mitochondria, or "energy factories" of sperm cells and allows for healthy sperm count, morphology, and motility.   AndroPlus :  A POTENT BLEND OF BOTANICALS TO SUPPORT MALE GLANDULAR AND SEXUAL HEALTH. - Supports healthy libido - Improves blood flow to the genitals - Optimizes sexual stamina Includes Tribulus terrestris: a botanical aphrodisiac that has a long-history of enhancing endogenous production of testosterone and testosterone precursors including androstenedione and DHEA. Low sexual desire and function are often attributed to low levels of testosterone, a hormone that drops significantly with aging. Primal Defense Ultra: Gut health is the foundation of whole body health: immune system, neurotransmitters, hormone synthesis and breakdown. A healthy microbiome is essential for optimal fertility, metabolic function, immune health, and mood.
