Things I use, and would tell a friend about.

Protandim Tri-Synergizer

I have never been a vitamin person. I spent thousands on natural doctors, listened to everybody, and at one point my cabinet held 29 vitamins a day because some influencer said so. I ended up exactly where I started. This is the first thing I have ever taken where I can say, hand on heart, it changed my life. The brain fog I had carried for years lifted almost immediately, and it has not come back. I do not say that lightly.

What it is. Three small tablets in one daily packet. The Nrf2 one is five plants, milk thistle, bacopa, ashwagandha, green tea and turmeric, studied for switching on Nrf2, the pathway your own cells use to make their own protective enzymes instead of borrowing antioxidants from a bottle. The Nrf1 one supports the mitochondria, the little engines that make your energy. The NAD one supports a molecule every cell needs and makes less of as we age. The Nrf2 research is published in peer-reviewed journals, which matters to me.

Scheál works on the outside. This works on the inside.

AXIO

This replaced my coffee, and I never thought anything would. If you have a hard time focusing, or your attention runs in ten directions at once like mine does, this is the one. It gives me real energy, but a calm kind, and I am super focused for hours instead of wired for one.

About the coffee. I say this as someone who loved it: coffee is acidic and dehydrating, and your skin shows it. The crash, the puffiness, the dullness the next morning. My skin looked older on coffee than it does now, and that is the whole reason I switched.

Energy without the jitters, and your skin thanks you.

P84

This one is for the gut, and the gut is where I would start if you could only start one place. P84 is a daily gut blend of prebiotics, which feed your good bacteria, and probiotics, which add more of them, built around plants. You take it every day and let it do quiet work.

Why the gut shows up on your face. Your skin is the last organ to get what the body has, and the first one to tell on it. When the gut is inflamed, the face looks tired, puffy and dull, breakouts settle on the cheeks and jaw, and dark circles arrive that no cream fixes. In the old face maps estheticians still use, the cheeks belong to the stomach, the chin and jawline to hormones, the forehead to stress and the nose to the liver. I have watched that map prove itself on a thousand faces. Heal the inside and the glow comes back on its own.

And the weight. I lost 28 pounds on this without dieting, and I was not trying to. When the gut settles, cravings settle, and the body lets go of what it was holding. That is my experience, not a promise, but I am still a little amazed by it.

Healthy gut, calm skin. It really is that simple.

TrueScience Liquid Collagen

I have tested more collagens than I can count, in the back rooms of the best brands in the world. Most are expensive powder that your body uses however it likes, and your skin gets what is left. This one is different, and it is the only collagen I take.

What makes it different. It is a daily liquid shot built to do two things at once: give the body collagen it can use, and nudge the body to make and keep more of its own. Taken with Protandim it is a patented pairing (U.S. Patent 12,589,067), which tells you somebody did the science rather than just the label. Smoother, more hydrated skin, and it does not stop at the face: hair, joints and everything that holds you together.

Scheál feeds the skin from the outside. This builds it from the inside.
