The things I actually use
No miracle products, no ten step protocol. Just the brands and the kitchen gear that show up in my own house, and a few honest notes on when each one is worth the money.
Nothing here treats, cures or prevents anything, and none of it is a substitute for your doctor. If you are on medication, ask your pharmacist before adding a supplement. That is not me being cautious for legal reasons. Interactions are real.
Supplements
Our food does not carry what it used to. I am not shy about that. But a supplement is a supplement, not a fix, and the right one depends on your budget and what is already on your plate. Any of these four is a good place to land.
Third party tested, and the brand I reach for first when someone wants to keep it simple. I am a Thorne ambassador.
See it on AmazonWhole food based formulas. This is the line I keep coming back to when someone wants food first and a supplement second.
See it on AmazonHerbs, done carefully. Good middle of the road pricing when the budget is real.
See it on AmazonShort ingredient lists and very few fillers, which matters when someone reacts to everything.
See it on AmazonPantry, kitchen and home
This is where most people get the biggest change for the least money. Swap the salt, swap the spices, swap the pan. That is a whole different kitchen for under a hundred dollars.
Apple cider vinegar, olive oil, the liquid aminos. Pantry staples I use constantly.
See it on AmazonSpices without the anti caking extras. The easiest swap on this whole page.
See it on AmazonCoffee and collagen. Worth it if your morning cup is non negotiable, and mine is.
See it on AmazonCeramic nonstick without the forever chemicals. This is the swap I nag people about.
See it on AmazonEssential oils I trust. Good quality without the multi level marketing price tag.
See it on AmazonWhat is actually in my kitchen
Specific things, not brands. These are the five I would replace tomorrow if they broke.
Glass instead of plastic, and the size range covers almost everything.
See it on AmazonThree compartments. This is what makes Sunday prep actually hold up all week.
See it on AmazonThe whole set, PFAS free. If you are replacing everything at once, start here.
See it on AmazonTaco night is a real meal plan. I will not be talked out of these.
See it on AmazonHands free while you fill a bag. Silly, and I use it every single week.

The program that trained me
I started at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2012 and I am still taking their courses. If you have been circling the idea of coaching, or you just want to understand your own health at a deeper level, this is where I would send you.
They are running a discount right now, and my code brings the price down further.

I am a health coach, not a doctor. I will never diagnose you and I will never tell you to stop a medication. What I will do is help you ask your doctor better questions.
