Supplements Everyone Needs to be Taking

Recipes· Supplements

I often get asked the question, what supplements should I take?

I get it, you want to know. And I want to tell you. But it’s not that easy, especially if you’re not a patient of mine, to know what to recommend to you. But I put together a few supplements that I believe are great maintenance supplements for everyone to take! You can order them through my supplement store here. These are not for deep healing or getting to the root cause of health issues, but they are a perfect starting place for everyone. Kids can take the Nutridyn Fruits and Greens, Multivitamin and a Probitoic.

Nutridyn Fruits and Greens

Nutridyn Fruits & Greens with Super Fruits is an easy-to-mix, great tasting, nutrient-rich superfood formula with whole food concentrates designed to provide synergistic phytonutrient nutrition. It provides a “super blend” of 100% natural fruit and vegetable extracts, vitamins, flax lignans, ionic trace minerals, enzymes, antioxidants, phytonutrients, and symbiotic intestinal flora.
This dynamic blend supplies your body with improved energy, metabolism, fat-burning, digestion, detoxification, immunity, repair, recovery, revitalization, and longevity! Dynamic Greens improves immune function, alkalizes the body and balances the pH, no sugar added and free of preservatives.

Dynamic Greens Dosage: Take one scoop daily. Take 2-3 scoops per day under periods of stress or when your body is tired. Kids can take 1/5 scoop up to 1 scoop depending on body size.

Multivitamin

Taking a multivitamin daily is an easy and inexpensive way to ensure you are getting an adequate supply of vitamins and minerals that you need each day. Because the nutrients in our food supply are decreasing, we must get essential vitamins from a supplement. Our body needs 13 essential vitamins to function properly; do you know you are getting all 13 on a daily basis? The quality of your multivitamin is crucial. I recommend Dynamic Multi Powder and Prenatal (for pre-conception, pregnancy, and postpartum) can be purchased separately. For Children, I recommend Suppys Chewable Vitamin.

Wellness Essentials Dosage: 1 scoop per day. Each pack will last 30 days.

Benefits to a Multivitamin:

  1. Helps combat daily stress
    2. Provides needed energy for our body.
    3. Prevents vitamin and mineral deficiencies
    4. Provides mental clarity
    5. Prevents cardiovascular disease and cancer
    6. Boosts brain function

Methyl Complete Methylation Support

Stress is the number one cause of methyl groups becoming depleted. Even chronic anxiety and depression can be linked to methyl depletion. Methyl groups are needed to turn on the stress response, but they are also needed to turn it off.  Some people become so depleted due to multiple stressors that they simply do not have enough to turn off the stress response and are left in a state of heightened stress. These individuals not only have anxiety but also sleep problems and eventually depression.

Methylation is a cellular activity where your cells:

  • Turn On and Off Gene
  • Detoxify Cellular Waste
  • Repair Cell Communications

Methylation is involved with the following:

  • Anxiety & Mood Disorders (Depression)
  • Sleep Disorders
  • Heart Issues
  • Estrogen Dominance & Increased Toxic Estrogen
  • Inability to Adapt to Stress
  • Premature Aging
  • Allergies

Methyl Complete is a methylation donor and provides an important contribution for:

  • Nutrition for Reversing the Damage to Your Genes
  • Nutritional Switches for Turning Genes On and Off
  • Supporting Telomere Stability (the only true aging marker)
  • Unparalleled Cellular Metabolic Detoxifier
  • Getting Rid of Toxic Estrogen Metabolites through Phase II Estrogen Metabolism

Methyl Complete Dosage: 1 tablet 2x/day. For decreased stress adaptation, hormonal conditions or sleep/mood disorders, take 2 tablets 2x/day

Probiotic

The over-prescribing of antibiotics has become a huge problem in our modern society.  And there is a price to pay in our guts for the overuse.  Our insides are not meant to be sterile. To get the maximum amount of benefits, it is always recommended that you take a high-quality probiotic supplement.  Many contain multiple strains of bacteria and are shielded from stomach acid to release in the intestines. The benefits are:

  • Improved digestive function
  • Improved immune response
  • Improves lactose tolerability
  • Increased mineral absorption
  • Competition for harmful organisms

My favorite probiotics are the UltraBiotic Line from Nutri-Dyn. They have a wide variety of strains for different needs. My personal favorites are Ultrabiotic Multi-Strain, UltraBiotic Extra Strength and UltraBiotic Daily.

UltraBiotic Dosage: 1 capsule 2x/day as a maintenance dose. You can take up to 6 capsules per day if needed. There’s no way you can overdose on probiotics.

Simplifying health: take action from freedom, not fear

Well, I have to start somewhere. Celebrating the l Well, I have to start somewhere. Celebrating the little victories (that are actually really big) and trusting God in the process!!
Do your attempts to get healthy borders on obsessi Do your attempts to get healthy borders on obsession or orthorexia? Somehow you are now stressed about EVERYTHING being a toxin and brain is swirling with that all day, every day?. 

Does that sound like you? Or maybe just me 🤷🏻‍♀️ (please tell me I'm not the only one!)

I just don't think that's the Lord's plan for our lives and thought lives. I think there is another way to do health differently than our country and yet not become fearful and all-consumed with it all. We can be aware, make wise decisions, and let the rest be in the Lord's hands.

Most of you know I've taken 7 months off of posting regular content on my Instagram page. I only intended to stop posting for 2-4 weeks. But I realized I was stuck in this mental loop of always thinking about my health and my symptoms and then I was in a business where I only posted about health. That needed to stop. And when I slowed that loop I realized hey, I don't even want to post, so I didn't. 

Are you living in that balance now? Or teetering in the imbalance? If you are feeling imbalanced, the first thing is to NOT beat yourself up about it. If you have had chronic symptoms, I think it is our body's protective mechanism to put us in this loop. But the lie is that we aren't safe with symptoms... but we are safe if things medically check out fine. 

To get out of that mind loop, I would encourage you to take these thoughts captive. When they come in, give them to the Lord, and choose to think about something true and lovely and beautiful. Do this as often as you need which will probably be numerous times per day! 

It sounds easy but it isn't. Simple, yes. Easy, no. Put your faith in Christ and trust that he can renew your mind back to a healthy balance of holistic health. And if you suffer from symptoms... I do believe this is foundational for symptom resolution too.
I am totally a fair weather Minnesotan. I wish I w I am totally a fair weather Minnesotan. I wish I wasn’t, but I have been my whole life. 

So when the sun peaked through the days of dreary cloud cover I bundled up and bolted outside for a walk. It was 35 degrees and felt so nice. 

The 1 mile walk and the sun on my face was what I needed. I miss my nice weather walks. Only 4.5 more months of the cold here 🤣

Ps. Yes, I know that there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes. But really, I get cold easily and don’t like it. So it’s bad weather to me 🤷🏻‍♀️.
I didn’t realize that Beautycounter shutting dow I didn’t realize that Beautycounter shutting down was going to be the catalyst for me stepping back from social media.

It was. And it was one of the best things I’ve done in a long time. 

Why? I didn’t realize I was addicted to it. To checking. To learning. To creating content. It all. The business part and the learning about health. (Ouch that hurts a bit admitting it). 

It was all tied into nervous system dysfunction for me. Just feeding the circle of vigilance. And that wasn’t good for me body, mind, spirit. 

And it was SO hard to step away from this account. It took me about 6 weeks to stop picking up my phone to take a B roll video. Or to think “hey, I want to share with IG”. 

I really do miss you all… that’s what I miss the most. Interacting with you all! 

But my brain needed the time away. And honestly I’m still away. I just have felt like sharing a few things lately because of the November holiday sales. 

You know what I feared if I stepped away? I was scared I’d miss something shared about health that was what I needed. That I would miss some kind of magic bullet or clinical pearl and I wouldn’t heal without it. 

Guess what? That wasn’t true. 

I actually could think and focus on my health in a different way. I could surrender to God in a different way. I wasn’t cluttered with all sorts of thoughts on here. I’ve made some really good decisions about my health and healing with deep confidence. 

And I didn’t peace out of IG fully. I check mostly non-health related content on a private account. (Hello politics, I need some IG fill for that 😂). 

But I did take ALL of August off of IG and broke my dependence and need for it. It was SO good. I thought I’d kiss out so much. I didn’t miss anything. I found all the news and learning I needed from podcasts. And I bought less because I have no idea what’s trendy 🤷🏻‍♀️

I still like social media and Instagram. But I do think many of us need much better boundaries. It sucks you in… it’s supposed to! 

I share because I want to invite you to do something similar if you feel the pull in your spirit. 

Step back, you’re not going to miss anything. 
And think of what you may gain?!?
Robert F Kennedy Jr. was just named Secretary of H Robert F Kennedy Jr. was just named Secretary of Health and Human Services. And I am so excited. 

It's been a full week watching Trump make his cabinet selections but this one felt surreal. 

The corrupt natural of the medical system and Big Farma has been on my radar for almost 2 decades. And it has seemed to get worse vs better (ie covid jab mandates). 

Now we see this cabinet selection for this big position be a man who has fought for decades for children's health, for real meaningful healthcare reform, and spoke endlessly about jab side effects... it just takes my breath away. 

WHAT?? Is this real? 

I have so many thoughts. So many memories flood my mind about talking with my patients when I was a chiropractor about our medical system. The need to educate yourself about holistic and alternative health and to make better decisions than the standard american way of health. And of course, the endless conversations about the risks of jabs to new moms and dads so they can make the best decision for their kids. 

It used to feel like there were so few voices speaking out. And has now grown to a very large and loud group. 
I'd love to see the data on how many people voted for Trump because of the MAHA movement. What kind of needle moving did the partnership with RFKJ bring? I think it was quite a lot! 

Coming soon could be real change. And I'm not sure how much he's actually able to do. How deep does the corruption go? I don't know. 

But I do know that for now I am going to have hope and celebrate because this is a BIG win for medical freedom and the health of our nation. 

MAHA friends!! For ourselves, our families, and our country!

I wanted to give you a link to shop the Beautycoun I wanted to give you a link to shop the Beautycounter in-between sale. I will give you the link first and explain the sale and my thoughts below.

Here is the link to shop with me: https://www.beautycounter.com/MEGHANBIRT​  and it is also in my bio. 

Beautycounter is not open, but has a month long sale. while they wait to reopen. My link is different and all products are there but many could sell out.

When is the Sale: November 1-December 2

How do you shop: You need my link above. It is good for 72 hours and if you shop again, you need to choose my link again. You can't look me up and you're not attributed to me like you were when I was a brand advocate. 

Also, I wanted to share a few thoughts, I am participating in this Beautycounter in-between sale to give you opportunity to purchase your favorite Beautycounter products. I don't know what the future of Beautycounter looks like yet and haven't decided if I will pursue anything in the future.

I still really love my Crunchi products, and will be sharing Crunchi also. But I am choosing to give you the opportunity to choose both companies. Some of you want to shop Beautycounter and some people want to move on and not support it anymore, and for right now I'm here for you with both. 

Thank you for choosing me and my links, it makes such a big difference and I appreciate it.
