Let’s talk all about supplements I get questions on this all the time in fact one lady had an influencer tagged me recently of hey if you want to know all about supplements check out the supplement doctor Dr Livington so I guess unofficially that’s what’s going
On but I get a lot of questions from you I’m staring at about 20 of them right now what vitamins do I take when I’m fasting what can I replace Ibuprofen with and nids that we might be you know pounding down each day what do I do for
You know pain what can I be doing for if I have a horrible diet how can I at least make up some nutrient side of things thyroid Health what if I have XYZ condition what do I take I’m going to take my top how many I have here 24
Questions just recently that I got right from you guys and break them down you can also ask more in your questions or I’m live every Wednesday at 8:30 to answer them let’s go diving right in should I take vitamins while I’m fasting absolutely would wouldn’t change a thing
I take mine in my morning I have a regimen and I take them in the evening whether I’m fasting or not I know with some of you with medications and things like that you need to take you food work with your pharmacist on that but most of
These don’t need to be taken with food B vitamins might make you a little bit nauseous just heads up on that one but absolutely take them all fasting next what’s the most important nutrient or where should I start where do I begin with all the supplements okay here’s my
Top five top five to make the biggest bang for your buck biggest impact on your health here’s what they are and why number one vitamin D plus the immune complex so the vitamin D complex is a compilation of highd do vitamin D the other fat soluble vitamins AE and K2
Which are extremely important in so many areas of Health it also includes magnesium it also includes zinc and it includes probiotics and there’s fat in there so you can get the fat soluble vitamins absorbed this is a monster when it comes to your immune Health pretty
Big Focus for us over the last couple of years number two is Omega plus turmeric we’ve got to address inflammation we create so much of it in our world with what we eat how we stress and the chemicals we take in we’ve got to have something to combat it Omega-3s and
Tumor are two of the most well-known researched herbs and nutrients to help an normal inflammatory response number three collagen plus multi you’re getting a healthy form of protein protein and amino acids on a daily basis to build your muscles build your tissues protect your hair skin and Nails as well as a
Multivitamin allinone so I take that on a daily basis it’s getting my malti in it’s getting my clean protein in next electrolytes potassium magnesium salt chloride very important to be putting into your system to top up the electrolytes which are involved in so many different chemical actions in your
System most people are very deficient on those most people are very dehydrated get electrolytes into the system very regularly we’re lacking good quality salt so I’m make mine out of real sea salt and then you know optimal levels some of them have like organic dried coconut water in them or some of them
Have extra bonuses like vitamin C’s and immune boosters so you can check those out the fifth one I would do is greens powder we simply don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables to make up for that for ourselves and for our picky kids we make sure and put these greens in you can
Sneak them into smoothies or into Foods 50 different fruits and vegetables involved in my Greens Plus superfoods so that’s my top five those are the five I go almost every single day happy just recently I’ve added in magnesium cuz we’re so deficient on it I found myself even being deficient seven forms of
Magnesium in one if I’m trying to lose weight I do my apple cider vinegar and I also have the living good daily Coffee Plus Moringa to help fight antioxid you know oxidation happening with free radical damage in the body so there you go number three which something should I
Take to replace ibuprofen I never tell you to replace a medication however there were studies done on fish oil and if you take a high enough dose it it had the same effect on pain for people as an nid like ibuprofen so my omegas plus tumeric would be a great start there
What can you do proactively to support a normal inflammatory response I really like omegas and tumc my daughters in their 20s are in their 20s they have horrible diets what supplements should they start taking I would get the greens right get some nutrients into them you
Might consider the vitamin D or the mega Plus tumer or they collagen plus multi as well any of those are great choices to start getting nutrients into the body can blood pressure support be taken even if on a medication yes always talk to your pharmacist before adding anything
Or your doctor but yeah the blood pressure support is helping support healthy blood pressure level with things like Hawthorne things like potassium with things like pomegranate these are good foods in a powdered form that have been shown to support normal and healthy blood pressure levels if you take a
Thyroid medicine in the morning what time do you take the vitamins or the supplements they can be taken at the same time again ask your pharmacist for it supporting and taking your vitamins or your nutrients 2 hours before or after is always also an easy way to go
About it as well Knack versus El glutamine two very different things there um I think what you’re trying to ask is NAC versus cysteine okay NAC vers verus cysteine an acetal cysteine versus just straight up cysteine the amino acids I think that’s what the question question was trying to frame cysteine is
The parent of knack so by taking cysteines found in collagen it’s a building block of glutathione which is the street sweeper of your body which helps to detoxify you that’s why Knack works so well nyine is a child of it a version of it you can take that as well um those are
Found in my detox supplements and my liver supporting supplements I like using both of them I really like cistin though since it’s the parent and you get it with that c so I’m taking it regularly L glutamine just as a side note is very good for restoring the
Mucosal lining of the gut it’s in my GI support it’s also in collagen it’s a great amino acid that’s needed at what point do you need to consider taking something to manage rising blood pressure I’ve been taking Hawthorne Berry with some success I like Haw I like pomegranate I like garlic I like
Beetroot those are all in my blood pressure support these are great foods you can eat you have to work with your doctor to know your normal levels but your age does matter if you’re above the age of 60 there’s pretty good research that shows 150 or over 90 might be more
Of a normal range that’d be something you want to talk to your doctor about you can check out my blood pressure playlist below though how do you know when you are taking too many supplements can you overdose you can overdose on water literally people have drowned this
Year by drinking too much water so you can overdose on anything okay now I think we should be way more concerned with all the chemicals bad foods and drugs in the world but overdoing supplements consolidating them is important that’s why I like my collagen plus my multi altogether my Omega plus
My tumor all together my Greens Plus 50 superfoods all together my electrolytes plus energized which is vitamin C and immune supporters and heart supporters and focus enhancers so a lot of my supplements I try to combine together with them but you can always cycle off and then slowly add the supplements back
In like stop all of them and slowly add them back in there’s nothing wrong with that throughout the year I’ll add in a multi I’ll add in B vitamins I’ll add in magnesium and then I’ll subtract some and I it kind of es and flows depending on season allergies immune Health summer
What I’m eating ACV oving you can use these as tools but nothing replaces healthy eating healthy nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices I take your multivitamins vitamin D and Omega I have early stage osteoporosis I do receive HRT if I take bone health would be too much no the bone health is designed to
Be taken with the vitamin D it’s got some great cissus quadrangularis Wing treebine known bone supporters to help stimulate healthy bone production and prevent bone loss and so the bone support comes with a guide to help you have a life style that is very bone friendly as well on the hormone supports
I want to go off my anti-depressant you think it’s a good idea I can’t comment on any of those you have to talk with your doctor that put you on that medication I will never tell you to come off medication or alter it cuz I didn’t
Give it to you I think there’s a lot of things you can do to support your mood including breathing including exercise including better eating you can check out the mood support to help low moods and mood swings with it so you’re on the right track but focus on lifestyle and
Then work with your doctor on the specific Med can you take too much calcium if you are pre- osteoporosis absolutely I don’t recommend going above 600 Mig it starts to calcify the arteries above that point and it is very important to take D3 and K2 with any form of calcium supplementation I’m not
Very big on overdoing calcium i’ rather get it from foods like broccoli you can check out my broccoli video for a good next step on how amazing it is but it’s a good source of calcium so I think you should eat your calcium and then focus
On D3 and K2 to make sure that the calcium actually gets to the bones where it’s supposed to go I want to stop a Statin what kind of supplement should I take I would never recommend you stop a Statin to help healthy support levels of cholesterol you can check out my
Cholesterol support good Lifestyle Changes in my book in our challenges but work with your doctor on the actual treatment of that condition wood omegas and tumor it could cause stomach issues like a diarrhea if you have a sensitivity to a fish then you might if you have a sensitivity to a nut because
It has macadamia nut in it it could if you have a sensitivity to turmeric which some people do can you take too much tumor yes but you don’t need to right you want to get it absorbed so it’s not how much you take it’s how much you
Absorb so a lot of people take a gram or two grams and they take black pepper to try to irritate their stomach to get it to absorbed just use an emulsified version you have 200 Mig of tumeric it’s not a high dose but it’s a msif you’ll
Absorb nearly 40 times more of the turmeric by going that route than you will is just taking regular turmeric in the other methods so that’s what ours is in the Omega plus tumeric do I take the micr cleanse before the detox supplements I can take those both at the
Same time microb is addressing candida and parasites and imbalances and microbiome detox is addressing chemicals that might build up in the system to help support healthy detoxification when doing the detox and microc cleanse you stop all the other supplements nope I continue to take mine cuz you want to
Support the liver so it can do its job properly thyroid support take at the same time or separate timing you can take at the same time you could always ask your pharmacist though and are you supposed to suspend supplements when you take the detox nope keep taking those
Because often times the B vitamins and these amino acids and fat salable vitamins they’re all supporting the liver to actually do proper detoxification will the omegas and the B vitamin help my thyroid meds are not working so keep working with your doctor on that the thyroid support has
Supporting nutrients in it to help normal thyroid levels I do like extra B vitamins in that case I think it’s a good idea and then you’ll want to pair that with good healthy lifestyle autoimmune anti-inflammatory approach cuz a lot of times thyroid issues 80% of
The time are tied in to gut health so you want to improve your gut health four time open heart surgery patient and a lot of medications and just overall dealing with a lot of health issues and energy problems I would start with my electroly plus energize that’s going to
Help provide you with normal electrolytes and some great electrical heart supporters like d ribos torine and carnitin so I would check that one out and then you’ll want to get into to my heart healthy trainings so I have trainings on here for blood pressure and heart health check those out check out
Those playlists and those trainings below my son’s continuous allergies to mold and other things I’m using the vitamin D and the allergens support what are we missing vitamin D is a great start to boost immune system the allergen support helps a normal antihistamine response and then what are
We missing from that perspective is detoxing the entire system and getting it reset so we want to look at cleansing out the liver doing some detoxification maybe my liver protocol to help flush that out and I was experiment with nutrition so you want to go maybe either
A fodmaps or an anti-inflammatory way of eating cut out a lot of the allergens and then slowly add Foods back in our basic Advanced gut reset protocols help walk through how to do that and number 24 does mood support affect thyroid medications you can always check with
Your pharmacist to see if there’s any interactions going on there I don’t know what you’d be taking but usually not you can always take it two hours before or after if you’re concerned tons of questions how to take them when to take them what to do trying to make
Supplements more simple for you nothing replaces healthy lifestyle choices Healthy nutrition take that next step and do those check out the book below so you can learn more about this and if you need some more help on what do we do with these supplements Where Do
We Begin how do we get started on it check out the ones that I would not take if over the age of 50 trimming some of those out very important check out this video next
