Blood Sugar Balance

I would try Akkermansia first by itself. You might find you don't need anything else when you begin this and adjust your sugar consumption. Other supplements after trying these first four would be: 1. L Glutamine Powder 2. Magnesium 3. Chromium 4. Thiamine 5. Cinnamon 6. Myo Inositol

UTI

Green juices and carrot juice is really great as they are alkalizing to the system and flushes out organic waste. Another method would be to try a 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in water and drink.

Hair Regeneration

Hi Lovelies, Many clients have asked about how to stimulate hair growth. In general, hair loss can be caused by a multitude of factors. These are the top reasons: 1. Thyroid - if you have never had your thyroid checked and you are a female over 40, please reach out so we can rule this out or in. Most doctors only run TSH levels, which is 1 of 5 tests, and really a non conclusive test of whether your thyroid is actually working. As a result most women are undermedicated when it comes to thyroid hormones as well. If you are only on Synthroid or Armor (T4) you most likely have not had all of the tests run that need to be. 2. Sex Hormones - if you have never had your sex hormones tested via saliva and you are a female over 40, please reach out. Blood testing for hormones is not accurate and hormone imbalance can create male patterned baldness ie receding hairline, temple baldness, top of the head thinning or baldness. Saw Palmetto is in this recommendation to assist with how the hormones breakdown in the system and helps to clear liver function so hormones are processed out of the body efficiently and not recirculated as toxins. 3. Vitamin and Mineral Depletion - When the gut has been dysfunctional for any amount of time, the body is normally starved of both vitamins and minerals bc we aren't capable of properly digesting, breaking down nor obviously absorbing the food we are eating - even if we are eating the healthiest of healthiest diets. 4. Gut health - Most people after age 35 (this number getting younger and younger) need vitamin and mineral support bc of our lifestyles, environments and food. However, if we continue to plug holes and avoid triggers, we never get to the REAL REASON or ROOT CAUSE of WHY we need these things. We need to create a soil that is ripe for cultivation of health. A foundation in our gut which breeds resilience. This is not just a probiotic and has many layers. Until the gut is addressed, downstream issues like hair, skin and nail problems will continue. *Gut health is also at the core of hormonal imbalance, thyroid issues, vitamin and mineral depletion - basically all the reasons your hair could be thinning, and the reason for all health issues, begin in the gut. If you are working on your health, these will definitely give you the added support your body needs for hair but also in general. Please remember supplementation will take up to 3 - 6 months for most to begin to notice a difference. I recommend taking a before picture and comparing after 3 months and then again after 6 months. You will also need to stimulate the scalp by brushing your hair for 2 minutes twice a day. Something most whose hair is thinning or shedding usually avoid). There are also stimulating rollers you can use that break up scar tissue and, similar but different to brushing, will create small 'pricks' in the scalp tissue bringing extra blood flow and the body's attention to the area for regeneration. Please reach out if I can help you in any way! In health and happiness, Lauren
