Module 2 – Supplements
Supplements help supplement a good nutritionally strong diet, they do not supplement a crap diet.
Remember that because, if you buy supplements but your nutrition is not off then you are basically just throwing away money .
So, going forward you should all be taking the below basic supplements. I see these supplements as the most important supplements for good health and where the majority of the population is deficient. Of course dosages can be person dependent if there are health issues, but the following is what I have researched to be effective and best as a baseline for most.
REMEMBER – we consider teas, coffee, SIRTfoods, fairy dust, sunshine, grounding and fresh air a supplement to your diet and lifestyle also.
Your basic supplements are;
Apple Cider Vinegar or coconut vinegar 15-30ml in the am after your inner bath. (If you have issues with this – try taking it after your carb meal). Store ACV in the fridge!
Optional; If your insulin resistance or metabolic health is bad, it is wise to do another tablespoon in warm water 15 minutes before each meal. Especially if you are not taking digestive enzymes.
With your first meal – Krill Oil 1000-2000 mg, Store Krill in the fridge! If Krill oil is not an option for you, we can look at Algae oil.
With your first meal – Vitamin D3 5000 iU’s (increase up to 8000 iU’s in the darker months) – these recommendations are based on the research around Thyroid and Adrenal health.
With your first meal – Vitamin K2 200-330 mg. Note; If you are taking Aspirin, you must take K2.
Optional; Liquid greens 15 mls if you feel you are not getting enough green foods into your days…this is the one I take and recommend. Here are other options in case you can’t get your hands on the NUgreens. Amazing grass greens powder and Naka liquid greens.
Effervescent Vitamin C 1000-2000 mg in 800-100 ml of water with your carb meal. *Vitamin C has been shown to be one of our best stress management tools too! This is the one I recommend, please run it bye me if you would like to try a different vitamin C. There are other vitamin C options in the forum if this is an issue. I like this pill form of vitamin C.
Optional; There is more and more research coming out about peoples inability to break down carbs and fat properly being a contributor to body fat and disease. So I now recommend that if you have poop or gut issues, you should take a digestive enzyme before each meal…this is the one I take and recommend. This is optional but wise!
Direct sunlight and contact with the earth via bare feet or sitting in the grass or sand for 15-30 minutes a day, preferably in the morning, with no sunglasses — the is considered ‘natural energy supplementation’.
Optional but wise; 2-3 Epsom salt baths a week, 60-90 minutes before bed. It’s most effective to use 2 cups (or more of salt) and add some eucalyptus or peppermint essential oil for extra luxury if you like (yes you can use other oils). For optimal health benefits the bath should be as hot as you can tolerate it and do not stay in the bath for longer than 15 minutes, to help prevent re-absorption of toxins.
Your focus should always be on supplementing your meals with SIRTfoods and fairy dust.
**Walking should also supplement your diet** – in a fasted state in the morning or directly after dinner are best for metabolic health.
Fluid target is 3 to 4 liters a day, this includes teas, coffee, shakes, soups etc. This is an average but will be more if you are heavier, are pregnant, exercise a lot or have constipation/gut issues regularly. Also weather dependent. Check the forum for more posts on hydration.
Download and use the below spreadsheet to keep track of your daily supplements if you like. Its wise to stick this to your fridge or close to where your keep your supplements – somewhere that you will see it each day;
