Supplements
Thorne
Creatine Monohydrate
One of the most well-researched supplements in existence.

5g per day. Thorne's is third-party tested and unflavored, easy to mix into anything.

Whey Protein Isolate
Clean isolate with 25g protein per serving — essential on GLP-1 medications.
Why we like it
Third-party tested, unflavored so it mixes into anything, and one of the highest protein-per-dollar options on iHerb. Critical for preventing muscle loss when on semaglutide or tirzepatide.

Thorne
Creatine Monohydrate
The most researched muscle-preserving supplement. 5g/day is all you need.
Why we like it
Thorne's creatine is NSF Certified for Sport — the same standard used by professional athletes. Unflavored, mixes clean, and the evidence for muscle preservation after 50 is among the strongest in supplementation.

Thorne
Berberine HCl 500mg
The most-studied natural compound for blood sugar management.
Why we like it
Multiple RCTs show berberine reduces fasting blood glucose comparably to metformin in some studies. Thorne's version uses HCl salt (best bioavailability), 500mg 3x/day is the studied dose. Not a replacement for medication — a meaningful addition to diet and exercise.

Thorne
Selenium (Selenomethionine) 200mcg
The nutrient with the strongest evidence for Hashimoto and thyroid function.
Why we like it
Multiple RCTs show 200mcg/day of selenomethionine reduces anti-TPO antibodies in Hashimoto by 20 to 40% over 3 to 6 months. Thorne uses selenomethionine (better absorbed than selenate). 200mcg is the studied dose — do not exceed without testing.

Hydro Flask
Wide-Mouth Water Bottle
Cold stays cold. Hot stays hot. Simple.
Why we like it
Keeps ice for 24 hours. We've used the same one for three years.
Amazon
Fitness
TriggerPoint
Foam Roller
Five minutes post-workout makes a real difference.
Why we like it
Dense enough to actually work, not so firm it becomes unusable. One of those things you use daily once you start.
Amazon
Wellness
Pure Encapsulations
Magnesium Glycinate
Better sleep and muscle recovery, quietly.
Why we like it
Glycinate form is better absorbed than oxide. 200mg before bed is worth trying for at least two weeks.

NOW Foods
Psyllium Husk Powder
The most evidence-backed fiber supplement for gut health and cholesterol.
Why we like it
7g of soluble fiber per serving. Psyllium husk has the best evidence of any fiber supplement for lowering LDL, feeding beneficial gut bacteria, and improving bowel regularity. Mix into water or a smoothie — tasteless.

Jarrow Formulas
Probiotic 50 Billion CFU
Multi-strain probiotic with clinical evidence for gut restoration.
Why we like it
Saccharomyces boulardii (the most evidence-backed strain for post-antibiotic gut restoration) plus Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains. Refrigerated for potency. Used in clinical trials.

Jarrow Formulas
Vitamin D3 + K2
The calcium-to-bone triad: D3 absorbs it, K2 directs it. Both in one capsule.
Why we like it
2,500 IU D3 + 45mcg K2 (MK-7 form — the bioactive form). This combination is exactly what the evidence supports for bone health after 50. K2 prevents calcium from going to arteries instead of bone. Most D3 supplements don't include K2 — this one does.

Nordic Naturals
Ultimate Omega (EPA+DHA)
High-dose omega-3 for inflammation, brain health, and cardiovascular support.
Why we like it
1,280mg EPA+DHA per serving in the triglyceride form (better absorbed than ethyl ester). Third-party tested for oxidation and heavy metals. Nordic Naturals is the standard in clinical trials. Relevant for Hashimoto, gut health, and general anti-inflammatory support.
