Top 7 Supplements for Plant-based Women

March 3, 2021

In this post we’re talking all about SUPPLEMENTS and my top 7 supplement recommendations for plant-based women. Here are the supplements I take myself and recommend as a plant based vegan health coach. 

*(Please note that while these are my recommendations as a certified health coach, always consult with your doctor when adding supplements into your lifestyle.)

Now I just want to preface that of course supplements are meant to be just that- a supplement to a person’s diet. I’d prefer my clients get the majority of their vitamins and minerals from whole food sources. However, no diet is perfect and these supplements are a great insurance policy if you decide to have that burger and fries one day over the kale salad.

Of course, the best way to determine which supplements are right for you is to examine blood work and sometimes specialty lab testing to see what you are actually deficient in at that time. For example, in addition to having my own health coach, I work with a functional medicine doctor. Together we examine my lab work at least twice a year and adjust supplement protocols as needed based on the results.

That all being said, these 7 supplements we’re diving into below are a great start to make sure you’ve got your bases covered. (Oh and if you’re curious about what integrative health coaching is and how it can help you, be sure to check out this post here.)

Top 7 Supplements for Plant-based Women

My Top 7 Supplements for Plant-based Women

 

Multivitamin

I’d start building your daily supplement regimen with a good multivitamin. I like Ritual or Sakara The Foundation which is a mix of supplements together to cover not only your multivitamin, but a probiotic, omegas, magnesium, calcium, and vitamin B complex altogether. 

Sakara The Foundation is well worth the investment for this one subscription. In my opinion, it’s a better solution versus buying all of these separately each month and then organizing them together in your vitamin holder. Sakara has really done the work for ya here.

(You can use code “XODANIELLE” for 20% off at Sakara!)

A few other great options to check out are by a company called Doterra. I fully trust and recommend this brand to clients due to the high-quality sources used in their line of essential oil based supplements. Take a look into: Doterra’s Daily Lifelong Vitality pack OR the vegan Microplex.

I can help you order either of these at wholesale price from Doterra. Just comment below!

Probiotic

Important for skin health, gut health and immune support, especially since over 70% of your immune system lives in the gut! I like the Sakara Complete Probiotic. 

(You can use code “XODANIELLE” for 20% off at Sakara!)

Omegas

Specifically, omega 3 essential fatty acid. It’s a major MUST for optimal health and important for reducing inflammation. Typically you can get it from fish and fish oil supplements but as a vegan, you can opt for a plant based source of omega 3 like algal oil (algae). This is one of the very few vegan omega 3 DHA and EPA sources.

Going back to getting nutrients first through whole foods (with supplementation), you can also get omega 3 from brussel sprouts, walnuts, chia seeds, flax oil, spirulina, and hemp seeds. 

Again, you can cover your omega supplement in Sakara The Foundation or look for a vegan algae omega. Or, I also encourage you to check out Doterra’s vegan Omega supplement. Comment below if you would like to order it and I can help you get the wholesale price!

(You can use code “XODANIELLE” for 20% off at Sakara!)

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is important for immunity support and energy. You may have seen the recent study that reported 80% of COVID-19 patients had low levels of vitamin D. Low levels of vitamin D are extremely common with most of us being stuck inside working 9-5 or longer under artificial light. Then, when we are outside, we have been trained to lather on sunblock. Your skin needs to soak up SOME direct sunlight. It’s nature’s vitamin, peeps! Aim for just 20 minutes a day on a quick walk or when you’re out running errands. 

For a vitamin D supplement, opt for a vegan D3 like the ones I linked here from My Kind Organics.

Magnesium

As a blanket statement, women are almost always deficient in magnesium. Magnesium is extremely helpful for rest, relaxation, and headaches. Literally almost every single one of my clients has trouble sleeping. They tell me they are taking melatonin yet they still have trouble staying asleep. I always recommend magnesium over melatonin. I like Dr. Mercola’s magnesium.  

Digestive Enzymes

Digestive Enzymes help the body break down large macromolecules from the foods we eat into smaller molecules that our guts are able to absorb. I like these or the Arrae brand which is a staple in my natural medicine cabinet. Digestive enzymes can be especially helpful if you are new to a plant-based diet and your body is getting used to the increase in healthy fiber. 

B12

B12 is that one vitamin that you hear everyone and their grandma talk about when you go vegan. I could write a whole other post on this topic. To keep it simple, just know vitamin B12 is produced by bacteria. Animal foods contain it because the animal accumulated this bacteria during their lives. So, to get B-12 into your diet without eating animals, you can take a multivitamin (like the Sakara one I mentioned earlier in the post), a B-12 supplement, or cook with nutritional yeast.

I personally have not even taken a B-12 supplement the last 3 years of being plant based and my blood work has shown strong levels of B-12. I credit this to topping my meals with a little nutritional yeast every week.

 

A few tips when shopping for supplements: 

First and foremost, make sure it is organic or non-GMO. Also check for fillers or preservatives on the ingredient labels. Lastly, if possible, see if they share any information on their website regarding being lab tested for purity standards. 

 

Remember, supplements are meant to help fill in nutrition gaps. Be sure to focus on feeding yourself nourishing, whole foods first. PS- Supplement recommendations and meal ideas are included in the follow up to my free health consultations. If you’re interested in chatting with me, be sure to schedule a Zoom call here. 🙂

What questions do you have about these supplements?

XOXO, Dani

I feel like no one is really talking about this… I feel like no one is really talking about this… 

so I just wanted to say that if spironolactone (a medication originally meant to treat things like heart failure and high blood pressure) is not the “miracle drug” for your hormonal acne that you were promised, you are NOT ALONE.

I’ve been in your shoes. 👞 

And I’ve heard this over and over again from other women.

Is this you? leave a 💚💚💚 if so.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if you h I don’t know who needs to hear this but if you have a “gut feeling” deep inside you that your acne is from something off internally, I’m telling you- TRUST YOUR GUT. 

It’s your second brain and intuition is no joke. The body is a crazy smart biocomputer. And with skin conditions, it’s sending you a big fat message to listen to it.

Have you been sitting in a dermatologist’s office lately to yet again be shoved another prescription into your hands? 

Do you want to get off spironolactone or birth control? 

Stop that round of antibiotics? 

If it’s not the answer to your problem that you want, you don’t have to choose it.

DM me “gut feeling” if you want to learn how to look inward to heal your acne for good.

ACNE SCARS PART 2- My Top 3 Tips for Healing Acne ACNE SCARS PART 2- My Top 3 Tips for Healing Acne Scars

Ok if you didn’t see Part 1 of this series, go back to that post (DM me and I’ll share with you.) I talk about the most important thing to do BEFORE you treat acne scars.

After any chronic acne has healed, scars and hyperpigmentation/dark spots can be what you focus on wanting to treat to feel fully clear.

Keep reading for a few key tips to help fade acne scars:

💚Know that topical treatments alone are not the best or only solve. Nutrition plays a super important role in healing from the inside out. It’s all about anti-inflammatory and antioxidant rich foods like fruits & veggies with lots of vitamin C which aids in collagen production, Vitamin A, & B vitamins for healing wounds. 

💚When it comes to fancy procedures like lasers etc, microneedling could be a good option to consider - it’s more gentle and won't disrupt the skin microbiome. 

💚For dark spots, pure essential oils can be a game changer. People always underestimate the power of nature but these babies are strong if you’re using a quality product. (DM me if you want to know the only brand I personally trust & would put on my face!) For ex: Helichrysum and frankincense can be V effective.

Red flag 🚩🚩🚩- dermatologists and doctors Red flag 🚩🚩🚩- dermatologists and doctors trying to treat your acne but having very little nutrition training. 

(Before you at me, plz know I am not hating on those in the conventional medical system. Just calling out a piece of it that is broken. Keep reading…)

Look, food is medicine. There’s no doubt about it. And if food is medicine, why isn’t it taught at medical schools? On average, most medical schools in the United States teach less than 25 hours of nutrition over four years, and that’s if the school even requires nutrition programming (about 80% of medical schools have no such requirement).

I’m really not trying to hate on docs and derms. It’s not their fault, they truly are just trying to do their job and help you by offering prescriptions as the solution to clear your skin. But sadly the education system is broken and besides skincare or pharmaceutical drugs, they aren’t really trained to understand what else to offer you, ya know?

To successfully heal acne, we need an inside out approach, by addressing the root causes of acne, and all diseases for that matter. And nutrition is typically the first step to healing. 

Who’s with me? 💚👇🏻

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if your I don’t know who needs to hear this but if your skin is super broken out right now and you’re feeling down and depressed and frustrated, try to think of it this way…

Acne is truly a blessing in disguise. It alerts you that internal inflammation is going on and helps you avoid worse diagnosis down the road.

Hopefully, it prompts you to dig a little deeper. Become a detective with your health. Ask questions. Get curious about your acne. Why are these red bumps showing up on your face? What is going on beneath the surface of your skin that is causing breakouts over and over again?

Don’t accept it. You deserve answers and you deserve to heal. Don’t just think that it’s up to fate or genetics. I’m telling you, it’s not. You can fix it.

Tell me, how long have you been struggling with acne and getting no answers? 👇 

I know exactly how you feel. I’ve been there. Here to support you on every step of this skin journey. It can be a bitch. But you can 100% come out a stronger version of yourself on the other side.💚

ACNE SCARS PART 1- The # 1 thing to do BEFORE you ACNE SCARS PART 1- The # 1 thing to do BEFORE you treat acne scars…

Stop your chronic acne breakouts first. 

❗DON’T treat acne scars or hyperpigmentation UNTIL your active acne is healed and isn’t coming back.

Otherwise, it’s a vicious and never ending cycle! You try to help the scars, then you break out again and you pick and let it scab over and then you have another scar to deal with. ugh!

❗If you’re still experiencing chronic AKA persistent and ongoing acne flare ups, it is CRUCIAL you address and heal the acne first. 

❗Remember, this is a sign from your body that something internal is off and to avoid greater health issues down the road you need to fix this imbalance sooner than later!

Then, once you are in recovery mode, we can treat the aftermath that is scars. If you need help getting started, DM me.
