Supplements….yeah, I still take them!

Are you kidding?   Never giving them up!!

When I started with Dr. Jack, and he told me that I would need to take supplements, I admit, that I rolled  my eyes and inwardly groaned.   Ughhhhhhhh….

I could barely remember to take my necessary medication which included blood pressure, thyroid, cholesterol, metformin, and a host of supplements, calcium, vitamin d, multivitamins…. double ughhhhhhhhhhhh….

What’s funny now, fast forwarding?  Yeah, I never ever forget a day of them.  I lost all those pills and traded them for whole food supplements, supplements I would never forget to take!   I found out just what a huge difference they make!  It’s beyond measure.   I did not need a single sick day this winter, have not had a cold, not the flu, no stomach issues, zip, nada…. why??   Because I am soooooo much healthier than I ever was in my entire life!  Heal from the inside out!  Love that plan!

Every few months, I ask Dr. Jack what supplements he is currently taking.  Like clockwork.  I am sure the poor man thinks I have a memory problem because I just asked him a few weeks prior!  But the truth is, I want to know what he is taking seasonally…. does it change?  What does he consider essential for his own body.  I want to know how he, with his beyond crazy lifestyle, keeps going.  What does he eat on a daily basis, what does he take, what does he do?   How much exercise does he get? How much sleep?

I take a bunch of supplements, ones that he has told me are the essential ones.  I no longer have stomach  or sleep issues.   I no longer live on coffee and have afternoon slump times. I don’t get sick, I don’t feel awful and nauseous.  I don’t have weird food cravings and I am not symptomatic.  They are Whole Foods, things you recognize as food ingredients.  They aren’t filled with chemicals, and ingredients you can’t pronounce.  I function better today than in my twenties!   Yeah, I take a few supplements, and I think I will stick with this plan.

Dr. Jack has a YouTube channel where he talks about the supplements he uses in his practice.  It is interesting how so many help with things I don’t even think about!

Here is a link for one on probiotics!  https://youtu.be/_FCctXkizWk
