Every day, I get hundreds of messages asking what vitamins, supplements, or strategies are the best solution for any given situation. Whether colds, chest pain, or brighter skin: our health ultimately comes down to what we provide our body.
So I put together a simple guide to answer the most common questions I receive to help you get the most out of supplements!
Q1: Should I Take Vitamins While Fasting?
Absolutely! I take mine in the morning and evening, regardless of fasting. Most supplements don’t need food for absorption, with the exception of B vitamins, which might cause slight nausea on an empty stomach.
Q2: If I could only take (x) supplements, what should they be?
What supplements you take should be determined by what you lack most in your day-to-day diet.
For example, if you live up north where going outside during the winter is not always practical, picking up a high concentrated Vitamin D supplement may be your best bet, as you can’t get it naturally through sunlight.
Vegans and vegetarians may struggle to get the omegas they need as they’re most commonly found in fish, etc.
However, if you’re looking to get the most bang for your buck, these are the Top 5 I always keep stocked up, as they have the biggest immediate impact.
- Vitamin D Plus Immune Complex: This powerhouse combines vitamin D with other fat-soluble vitamins (A, E, K2), magnesium, zinc, probiotics, and healthy fats for optimal absorption. It’s a fantastic immune system booster!
- Omega Plus Turmeric: Chronic inflammation is a major health concern. Omega-3s and turmeric are well-researched for their anti-inflammatory properties. This combo helps your body combat inflammation naturally.
- Collagen Plus Multivitamin: This two-in-one provides protein and amino acids to build and repair tissues, while also delivering essential daily vitamins and minerals.
- Electrolytes: Most people are deficient in electrolytes like potassium, magnesium, and salt. Replenishing these minerals is crucial for many bodily functions.
- Greens Powder: We often fall short on our fruit and vegetable intake. Greens powder is a convenient way to add a variety of these powerhouses to your diet.

Q3: What is the best supplement for (x).
While conditions can come from a variety of causes… let’s rapid-fire some of the most common problems I’m asked about and their simplest solutions.
Muscle aches? Insomnia? Fatigue? Muscle spasms? Numbness? All of these are major symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Adding a magnesium supplement to your morning or evening routine may help see reductions in these symptoms within hours. It’s one of the most commonly recommended for a reason!
Weight Loss? Digestion Problems? Constipation? For weight loss support, I recommend Apple Cider Vinegar and my Livingood Daily Coffee Plus Moringa for its antioxidant properties. The combination of acetic acid in the ACV and caffeine in the coffee also forms a powerful metabolism-boosting combination to kickstart your energy levels.
Kids with Poor Diets? Extremely picky eaters? While I always advocate for whole vegetables and fruits as the basis of your meals, unless purposefully doing a temporary carnivore diet, I also have kids. I know that sometimes the tantrums win. In those scenarios, Greens Powder can be a lifesaver for ensuring your picky eaters get their daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
High Blood Pressure? Headaches? High Cholesterol? My Blood Pressure formula combines ingredients like hawthorn berry, potassium, and pomegranate to promote healthy blood pressure levels.
