Health & Wellness
My path to health was shaped not only by exercise, diet and commitment to treating myself better. I also learned how to complement my progress with the right vitamins and supplements. I often get asked about the products I use so I have provided below all the products I use in my daily life.
I also have included links to the products that I use in both my personal workouts and client training.
Vitamins & Supplements
Vital Proteins 10 oz
After the birth of my second child, I was struggling with a post-baby-hormonal issue which manifested into digestive and joint-related issues. I read an article by (of all people, Jennifer Aniston) and she was talking about this Vital Protein/Collagen that she would consume regularly. I asked a few doctors about it since it was relatively unheard of at that time, and they said it wouldn't hurt me, so I began consuming it in my oats and eventually moved to adding it to my morning coffee. It was amazing how I felt and it has been part of my daily routine since then….4 years ago, now.
Vital Proteins 20 oz
Pure Encapsulation Multi-Vitamin
One of the best Chiropractors in the city of Chicago once recommended this brand to me. I try to get all my vitamins from them because they offer the most comprehensive selection of FREE-FORM products for all your needs.
Primal Thins Sweet Cream
I’m always on the search for a protein bar with little to no sugar and limited sugar alcohols, only because they can cause digestive distress at times. I came across this brand a few years ago and after trying out a few, I have decided this flavor is my favorite. They are low cal, high protein (whey) and sweetened with monk fruit. This brand, Julian Bakery also has a plant-based protein bar which is also quite yummy too.
Ora Organic Probiotic
More and more studies show that the balance or imbalance of bacteria in your digestive system is linked to overall health and disease. Probiotics promote a healthy balance of gut bacteria and have been linked to a wide range of health benefits. Ora Organic’s probiotics have 16 billion probiotics, includes prebiotics and are vegan certified. I definitely have these on auto-replenish for a healthy-happy-gut!
Nordic Naturals Fish Oil
CoQ-10
Pure Encapsulation Biotin
Pure Encapsulation Lysine
Pure Encapsulation Glutamine
Workout Equipment
BOSU Balance Trainer
I am BOSU certified and I feel the BOSU ball is one of the best most versatile pieces of exercise equipment. Strength, balance, flexibility, cardio….the benefits are endless!
Yoga Mat
Fit Simplify Resistance Bands
The easiest pieces of exercise equipment to throw in your gym or overnight bag are resistance bands. You can get a killer full-body workout with a set of resistance bands. I use them with all my clients.
