Supporting Supplements I Take

I am often asked why I take vitamins and which ones I take. 

Here are the reasons why I take supportive supplements:

1. Our soil is depleted of nutrients, and our bodies need targeted nutrition.
2. Foods today are grown in chemically laden soil and covered in wax and other preservatives.
3. We want to be proactive for our health, to ward off illnesses.
4. Strive to support our kids development in these crucial growing years.
5. To support my body so it can heal from injuries and/or aging.

For the last 15 years  I have met with dozens of health professionals, mostly in the field of Integrative Medicine.  I have seen numerous friends and family regain their health with targeted nutrition.  You know you are a believer in nutrition when you make new friends in waiting rooms.  Creating a village of like-minded friends has been a huge asset for our family.

Here are a few of the supplements I just prior to entering the cold and flu season and the cooler months:

Those I purchase via the www.microbiomelabs.com website (CCKCUTSINGER)

I also make my Instapot Elderberry Syrup! 

• 2 cups elderberries
• 6 cups water
• 2-3 cinnamon sticks
• 1 inch piece of ginger, peeled

Ingredients after Instapot Cooking:

• 1 cup Raw honey
• 1 orange, zested and juiced 
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• Can sub 6 drops of *Thieves Essential Oil, or mix any orange, lemon oils that you have.

Directions

1. Place the elderberries, water, cinnamon sticks, ginger and vanilla into your Instant Pot.
2. Grate or thinly slice and chop the ginger
3. Put the top on your Instant Pot and set on “manual high pressure” for 7 minutes.
4. Once the timer goes off, push the valve to “vent” and then strain the mixture into a fine mesh steel strainer over a bowl.  Once you learn the direction of your vent, you will feel better.  When I started, I marked it with a paint marker so we all knew it was set correctly.
5. Squeeze the mixture through the strainer with the back of a large spoon until no more liquid comes out. Then discard the waste.
6. Once the syrup has cooled completely to room temperature you can add in the honey and essential oils.
7. Pour into a glass jar and store in the refrigerator for up to two months.
8. We take 2 teaspoons each morning, and increase if needed.

Stay Warm, Stay Well & Stay Kind

XXOO,
