The story begins with my husband, Steve. In the year 2020, my husband was diagnosed with acute kidney disease on top of his chronic high blood pressure and diabetic issues. After medical care, his blood tests showed he was in the normal range. The doctor sent him home and told him to continue taking the prescribed medications and to watch his diet. My husband had faithfully been following the diet suggested by his nutritionist. However, his energy was decreasing over time, and he was experiencing more fatigue, all the while his blood tests continued to show he was in the normal range.

As a certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practioner (FDN-P), I decided to add some supplements to my husband’s daily routine because he needed help. Unsurprisingly, his energy became much more balanced, and he was now strong enough to handle his daily work.
I have to say that supplements can come to the rescue when we don’t even know they’re needed. Supplementation gets mixed reviews. Some people believe it’s a must, while others believe the opposite. Here’s what I believe: when we need extra help and don’t know what else to try, why not give supplementation a try? Finding supplements that will produce the results you’re after, and ones that include the best quality ingredients, is the key. Supplementation worked (and continues to work) for my husband, and it also helped reduce my mom’s arthritis pain.

There are many good-quality supplemental brands that you can choose from, and I created this page so you have access to those supplements that are proven and contain the highest quality ingredients. For that, we use the Shaklee brand.
