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
