What I Use

These aren't sponsorships. This is what's in my kitchen, my gym bag, and what I recommend to every client. I don't carry affiliate deals or brand partnerships. If I don't use it daily — or hand it to someone I'm working with — it's not on this list.

Daily Ritual

The things that start (or end) every day. Bone broth is the base of everything — I treat it like a hot morning beverage. The Millie's packets add flavor dimension; the salt adds minerals. The ACV shot is the 2-minute ritual that's easier to keep than to explain.

#01
Millie's
Spicy Tortilla Sipping Broth
12 bags · Keto · Gluten-free · Plant based
"I add these to my bone broth for better flavor. The spicy tortilla version is the one I reach for most — it adds depth without adding junk."
#02
Millie's
Delight Phở Sipping Broth
12 bags · Keto · Gluten-free · Plant based
"Same ritual, different evening. The Phở flavor is more subtle — better for winding down. Rotate both so you don't burn out on either."
#03
Bare Bones
Instant Bone Broth — Chicken
4 stick packs · 10g protein · 5g collagen per serving
"Travel-friendly protein that doesn't taste like a protein bar. I keep these in my bag so there's always a gut-supporting option within reach."
#04
Bare Bones
Instant Bone Broth — Beef
4 stick packs · 10g protein · 5g collagen per serving
"The beef version is richer — better as a lunch or post-workout. Rotate with the chicken so you're getting both flavor profiles and amino acid variations."
#05
Baja Gold Salt Co.
Mineral Sea Salt Natural Grain
1 lb · 300+ servings · 300+ trace minerals
"Not just sodium — this salt has over 300 trace minerals. Your body needs those. I put this on everything. Regular table salt is a completely different product."
02

Gut Health & Digestive

Most health issues trace back here. I work through these in a loose sequence: cleanse the environment, rebuild the flora, soothe the tissue, then support digestion on the other end.

#07 · Cleanse
Zahler
ParaGuard Advanced Intestinal Flora Support
90 softgels · Walnut hull, wormwood, clove, pumpkin seed
"I rotate this every few months as part of a cleanse protocol. The combination of herbs has a long traditional history for a reason."
#08 · Cleanse
North American Herb & Spice
Oreganol Super Strength Oil of Wild Oregano
0.45 fl oz · P73 · 73%+ carvacrol · USDA Organic
"Concentrated wild oregano oil — not the culinary kind. The carvacrol content is what matters. I use this specifically when I feel something coming on."
#09 · Cleanse
Soursop Bitters
Colon Cleansing Formula
Herbal blend: soursop, burdock root, senna, ginger, tamarind, fennel seed
"This one's harder to find in stores but worth tracking down. The soursop leaf combined with burdock is a traditional cleansing combination I've used for years."
#10 · Rebuild
Yerba Prima
Prebiotic Colon Care Capsules
180 capsules · Premium dietary fiber · Gluten-free · Made in USA
"After a cleanse phase, you need to feed the good bacteria. This is the prebiotic foundation — it's what I recommended in the fiber blog post."
#11 · Soothe
Fruit of the Earth
Wild Berry Aloe Vera Drink
32 fl oz · Natural berry flavors
"Tastes good enough that clients actually drink it. Aloe vera juice coats and calms the digestive tract — especially good for anyone dealing with acid or inflammation."
#12 · Soothe
Lily of the Desert
Aloe Herbal Stomach Formula
32 fl oz · Fresh mint · Aloesorb · Whole leaf + inner fillet · Balances stomach acidity
"The Aloesorb is a concentrated aloe polysaccharide fraction — better absorption than standard aloe juice. This is the version I use when the issue is higher up in the digestive tract."
03

Longevity & Cellular Support

This is the advanced tier — things that operate at the cellular level. The science is evolving fast. I'm not making health claims here, just telling you what I use and why I use it. Read the methylene blue blog post for a deeper dive on MB.

#14
Meraki Medicinal
Meraki Blu (Methylene Blue)
1 fl oz · Liquid dropper · Pharmaceutical grade
"I cover this extensively in the blog. If you're going to use methylene blue, quality matters — sourcing and concentration both. This is what I use."
#15
Micro Ingredients
NMN Ultimate 10-in-1
120 veg capsules · 1,000 mg NMN per serving · 10-compound formula
"NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is an NAD+ precursor. I stack this as part of my cellular energy protocol. The 10-in-1 formula adds resveratrol, TMG, and a handful of synergistic compounds."
#16
Burmeister Ginseng
100% Pure Wisconsin Ginseng Extract
2 fl oz · Herbal supplement · Est. 1909 · Wisconsin-grown
"American ginseng grown in Wisconsin — not the Asian variety, which has a different chemical profile. Burmeister has been doing this for over a century. The quality shows."
04

Immune Support

One product. One that works. The multi-compound formula here is what makes it different from single-ingredient lysine supplements.

#17
Quantum Health
SuperLysine+ Immune Support
180 tablets · Vitamin C · Echinacea · Licorice · Propolis · Odorless Garlic
"Lysine is the foundation — the other compounds are synergists. I use this year-round at a maintenance dose and increase when my immune system needs support."
05

Ancestral & Whole Food

Food-based nutrition that our ancestors ate in large quantities — nutrient-dense organs and roots. Most people won't touch liver. These make it easier.

#18
Ancient Nutrition
Organs Blend
180 capsules · Grass-fed liver, heart & kidney · Wild New Zealand + Pastured Argentine sourced
"Liver is the most nutrient-dense food on the planet. The issue is most people won't eat it. Capsules solve the problem. The Wild NZ + Argentine sourcing matters — quality of the animal's life shows up in the nutrient profile."
#19
Flora
Organic Red Beet Crystals
7 oz · Nitric oxide booster · USDA Organic
"Beets are a natural nitric oxide precursor — which means better blood flow and oxygen delivery during exercise. I mix these into water or broth about 30 minutes before a workout."
06

Kitchen Staples

The fats and sweeteners in my kitchen. Every one of these replaced something that shouldn't be there. Seed oils are out. Tallow, coconut oil, and MCT are in.

#20
Carrington Farms
Organic MCT Oil
16 fl oz · 13g MCTs per serving · Coconut-derived · Flavorless
"Goes in my coffee, my broth, sometimes a smoothie. MCTs are immediately converted to ketones — fast energy without spiking insulin. The flavorless version means I can put it anywhere."
#21
Thousand Hills
Beef Tallow Premium Cooking Fat
14 oz · 100% grass fed · Regenerative agriculture
"High smoke point, pure saturated fat, zero industrial processing. I cook eggs, meat, and vegetables in this. The regenerative sourcing isn't marketing — it affects the fat profile."
#22
Dr. Bronner's
Whole Kernel Virgin Coconut Oil
30 fl oz · Regenerative Organic Certified · Fair Trade · USDA Organic
"For cooking at medium heat, baking, and anything where you want a slight coconut note. The whole-kernel pressing retains more lauric acid than refined versions."
#23
Wholesome
Organic Molasses Unsulphured
16 fl oz · Fair Trade · USDA Organic
"Blackstrap molasses is one of the most mineral-dense sweeteners available — iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium. I add a tablespoon to broth or use it where I want a deep, earthy sweetness."
07

Essential Fats

Omega-3s are the most consistently under-consumed essential nutrient. One product. The tastiest fish oil you'll ever take — which matters, because taste is why people stop.

#24
Barlean's
Seriously Delicious Omega-3 Fish Oil — Key Lime Pie
16 oz · 1,500 mg EPA/DHA · 3× absorption vs. standard fish oil · No fishy aftertaste
"I've gone through probably 30 fish oil products over the years. This is the one clients actually keep taking. The 3x absorption matters too — you're getting more EPA/DHA per teaspoon than most capsule products."
08

Bath & Recovery

Topical and transdermal delivery for minerals the body is commonly deficient in. Epsom salt baths, magnesium oil for cramps, hydrogen peroxide for general antiseptic use, and bentonite clay for skin and bath. Simple, single-ingredient products that do one thing well.

#32
SaltWorks (est. 2001)
Ultra Epsom® Premium Epsom Salt Crystals — Maximum Strength
5 lb / 2.2 kg · Magnesium Sulfate USP · Maximum Strength · Bath & Spa Grade
"I pour it on the shower floor, stand on it, then turn the hot water on and soak. Magnesium absorbs right through the feet — most people are deficient and don't know it. Maximum strength, USP grade. Cheap, simple, effective recovery."
#33
Hydrox Laboratories (Elgin, IL)
Hydrogen Peroxide Solution 3% USP
1 Gallon / 3.8L · 3% USP 10 Volume · First Aid Antiseptic · Made in USA
"Great for mouthwash and as an overall health cleaner — both the body and the bathroom. I buy it by the gallon because I use it for everything. 3% USP grade, not the diluted stuff."
#34
Essentially Based
Magnesium Oil — Undiluted
32 oz / 946 mL · Odorless · Undiluted · Easily Absorbed · 100% Natural · Made in USA
"Rub it on cramps — works fast. And if you're desperate, it's a great laxative. Undiluted, odorless, absorbs clean."
#35
Aztec Secret
Indian Healing Clay — Deep Pore Cleansing
100% Natural Calcium Bentonite Clay · "World's Most Powerful Facial" · Deep Pore Cleansing
"Face cleaner and bath additive. Bentonite clay pulls toxins out — use it as a facial mask or toss some in the bath. Simple, natural, one ingredient."
