Episode 21: The Supplement Blueprint: 5 Essentials for Lasting Health Supplements can feel overwhelming—do you really need 12 different bottles cluttering up your counter? In this episode, The Supplement Blueprint: 5 Essentials for Lasting Health, we cut through the noise and break down the five foundational supplements that almost everyone can benefit from. You’ll learn why quality matters (and why grabbing a bargain bottle at the drugstore isn’t the same thing), how to spot a good brand, and how to build a supplement routine that actually supports your long-term health. Think of this as your no-BS guide to supplementing smarter, not harder.   Top 5 Supplement Bundle-   1.) Multivitamin: When your cycles are irregular, adrenal load is high or you’re entering perimenopause, micronutrient demands go up. The quality of the forms matters. This multi uses advanced forms for better absorption.   2.) Vitamin D3/K2: These two work together—D helps your body absorb calcium, K2 helps direct it to where it should go (bones) and away from where it shouldn’t (arteries) – which is huge for hormonal, bone and cardiovascular health.   3.) Magnesium (glycinate/threonate): Critical for the stress response, sleep, nervous system recovery, thyroid conversion and adrenal calm. And it supports D activation and overall mineral balance.   4.) Omega-3 fish oil: Anti-inflammatory, brain & mood supportive, helps with cardiovascular, hormonal signaling and metabolic balance—key for women with PCOS, perimenopause, hormonal transitions.   5.) Probiotics/gut health: Never underestimate the gut–hormone–immune axis. Good gut flora supports estrogen metabolism, mood, inflammation, nutrient absorption. Modern research shows synergy when combining omega-3 + probiotics.   we’re offering you a special listener 10% discount on our curated bundle from Designs for Health (link below) so you can jump in with options that meet our practitioner standard.
