Supplements I use

Supplements were and still are a very important piece to my healing puzzle. I learned our food as well as our environment has become extremely toxic and the soil is depleted of the necessary nutrients needed in our food to stay healthy so we must supplement in what we are lacking.
I tried many different things, but after tons of research, I finally found a combination of plant based, all natural supplements that addressed the 4 root causes for illnesses and disease which are:
- Poor Gut Health/Leaky Gut/Candida
- Unbalanced Blood Sugars
- Poor Nutrient Absorption
- Inflammation

TriPlex combo
💥Why do I recommend the TriPlex combo to almost everyone?💥
Because I believe it is FUNDAMENTAL for starting your body off on the right track to overall health!!! Why is that?
Here's some EYE-OPENING information:
✅Your large intestine is about as long as you are tall with 70% of your IMMUNE system fostered in your gut. Meaning, the largest amount of cells in your body ARE NOT HUMAN, they are BACTERIA!! There is good bacteria and bad bacteria, but due to our lifestyles (eating high fat, carb, salt, and sugar filled foods, using antibiotics, stress, drinking alcohol etc) the bad bacteria can start to overgrow the good.
✅This is when our bodies start to show the signs that many of us have experienced or some still are...
Fatigue
Sugar/Carb Cravings
Skin Issues (acne/oily)
Bloating
Problems Sleeping
Inability to Lose or Gain Weight
Being Underweight or Overweight
Brain Fog (hard to focus)
Anxiety/Stress
Feelings of Sadness
Skin/Nail Fungal Infections
Skin Conditions
Hives
Rashes
Allergies
Irritability
Mood Swings
Poor Memory
and the list goes on and on..............!
Our BACTERIA BALANCE is CRUCIAL TO OUR HEALTH and HIGHLY IMPORTANT for our day to day functions!
💥So how does the TriPlex help?💥
➡️Think of Probio5 as the scrubbing of your intestines to get rid of bad bacteria while replenishing it with good bacteria and the BioCleanse is the flushing of the bad bacteria out of your system.
➡️The Plexus Slim (Pink Drink) helps to keep your body's fats, cholesterol, and blood sugars balanced so that they don't continue to feed the bad bacteria that contributes to so many issues!
➡️This combination of ingredients is attacking the ROOT OF THE ISSUES - Not just putting a band-aid on them.
Triplex combo slim differences
There are two different Slim Pink Drink's that come in the Plexus TriPlex:
Slim Microbiome Activating
Slim Hunger Control
I chose to go with the Slim Microbiome Activating for optimal gut health.
X Factor Plus Multivitamin
This is what I added for Thyroid and hormonal Health.
(Extremely Important for Thyroid function)
🌱The XFactor Plus capsule contains natural chlorophyll which provides the green color.
🌱It contains a patented aloe blend that helps increase your bodies ability to absorb nutrients by up to 400%!
🌱It now contains Methylfolate. Those with the MTHFR gene mutation (high percentage of people) cannot absorb Folic Acid and require the methylated version of folate.
🌱XFactor Plus also has trace minerals and added polyphenols for gut health benefits (XFactor does not contain those).
🌱It contains the highest antioxidant fruit on the market; New Zealand Black Currants. Contains aloe and black currant. (Helps absorption and is natural source of iron)
🌟Resveratrol 🌟
Resveratrol is in X-Factor Plus as part of the Proprietary Blend (400mg of polyphenols). I was so excited when I learned that this was one of the new additions to our amazing aloe-enhanced multi-vitamin because I had been taking a seperate Resveratrol supplement for years.
Resveratrol is a natural phenol produced by several plants. Sources include the skin of grapes, blueberries, raspberries, and mulberries. Resveratrol is an anti-oxidant and is well known for it's anti-aging and disease-fighting power.
Anti Aging: Resveratrol is actually effective in inhibiting or reversing osteoporosis, sarcopenia and cognitive decline.
🌟B-12🌟
This multivitamin contains aloe. Aloe helps the body absorb more nutrients from the multivitamin itself as well as the foods you eat.
Now, Plexus has made our multivitamin even better! Our new XFactor Plus contains methylated B-12.
Most multivitamins contain cyanocobalamin, the most common from of B-12, which is the low-grade, cheap version. The better form of B-12 is methylcobalamin, also called methyl B-12. B-12 is needed in the formation of DNA, nerves, and red blood cells. It also helps the thyroid make hormones that regulate energy production and metabolism.
Methylcobalamin is the form of vitamin B-12 that is the easiest for the body to use and the one that is going to be absorbed best.
🌟B6🌟
Did you know that you would need to eat 40 large bananas 🍌 alone to get the same amount of Vitamin B6 as there is in XFactor Plus?? 😳 😳 😳 😳
XFactor Plus delivers the highest quality ingredients in their most bioactive and bioavailable forms that provide 100% recommended daily allowance of 19 essential nutrients and more than 50 naturally occurring trace minerals. 💪
Dr. Josh Axe states,
"Vitamin B6 is used by the body every single day since it plays a part in such major functions including movement, memory, energy expenditure and blood flow. Vitamin B6 helps the body to maintain a healthy nervous system, to make hemoglobin that carries oxygen in red blood cells throughout the body, to provide energy from the food that we eat, to balance blood sugar levels, to act as a natural pain treatment, to boost mood, and also to create antibodies that our immune system uses to protect us. Yes, it’s that vital."
Did you know that not only does our Xfactor plus have the exact proven amount of grape seed extract to help with hot flashes and menopause issues.... did you know it's a must (in addition to Triplex) for all people with thyroid issues???

Our new and improved multivitamin, XFactor Plus is the mother of all multivitamins. Seriously! It's got everything you need! I'm just highlighting a few ingredients because I LOVE this vitamin SO much!
🌟Selenium: A necessary cofactor in the production of thyroxine (T4), It also converts T4 to the more active form, T3.
🌟Zinc: Required for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Zinc deficiency can result in hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormones are essential for the absorption of zinc. The hair loss attributed to hypothyroidism may not improve with thyroid hormone replacement unless zinc supplements are added.
🌟Molybdenum: Molybdenum-dependent enzymes function in the oxidative system of thyrocytes (thyroid epithelial cells). They also play an important role in T3 (thyroglobulin) release from the thyroid gland.
🌟Boron: Helps the conversion of the storage form of thyroid hormone, T4, to T3, the active form.
🌟Copper: Plays an important role in the metabolism of the amino acid tyrosine, which is a precursor to T4 (thyroxine).
🌟Chromium: Enhances insulin activity playing a major role in the regulation of insulin release and its effects on carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism. Conversion of T4 to T3 is influenced by insulin, so in a roundabout way, chromium helps this conversion.
🌟Manganese: Required to transport the hormone thyroxine into our cells.
🌟Magnesium: Calcium and magnesium must be balanced in the body to ensure proper thyroid function. If there is too much calcium, thyroid hormones can become diminished. Magnesium is the regulator of calcium absorption and utilization.
🌟Thiamine is one of the B vitamins (B1). Its main responsibility is to change carbohydrates into energy, and it also helps with the digestion of proteins and fats. You need Thiamine is for proper release of hydrochloric acid in your stomach, which is required for proper protein digestion. Most people with Hashimoto’s have low stomach acid or do not release any stomach acid.
Vitalbiome
This is something I later added to my TriPlex and X Factor Plus regimen and let me just tell you guys for someone who has suffered with Panic Anxiety Disorder their whole life...….VitalBiome is a total game changer!!!!!!
I bought it because I had a trip planned to Jamaica and air plane rides were WAY too much for me to handle with my severe anxiety!!! I'm talking.... nausea, clenched jaw, ice cold hands and toes, balling my eyes out, nervous bladder and always running to the bathroom, absolutely no appetite which made me feel even worse, and I would always get my doctor to prescribe me a bottle of Ativan so I could get through it.
Well let me just tell you.....on VitalBiome I WAS AS COOL AS A CUCUMBER!!!!!! I was so freaked out by how relaxed I was, I kept looking at my husband the whole ride like "are you seeing this right now?!" I texted my mom and all my friends when I got off the plane because I was in such shock!!!! No need for any Ativan either!!
VitalBiome is a probiotic that contains 8 specific strains that have been clinically studied for their effects on mental health and mood, so it helps you feel better all around!
There is so much to say about this!! Did you know...
🌱 70% of your immune cells live in your gut!! VitalBiome can help by aiding the Gut microbes in keeping us healthy by training our immune system to fight off invaders!!
🌱 90% of mood-boosting serotonin is produced in your gut!!! (Gut microbes play an important role in the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine and mood-boosting serotonin!!)
