Supplements can enhance overall health and help you feel your best.

Even when you eat a healthy organic whole foods diet, it’s still hard to get all the nutrients you need from food.

That said, I’ve often felt a bit awkward when I whip out my supplements at lunch or dinner with friends.

It wasn’t until I attended a Functional Medicine weekend seminar and I noticed EVERYONE there was popping supplements did I know I was onto something!

Here’s a few of my daily favorites.

Mega Spore Probiotic:
Soil-Based probiotics or “spore” probiotics stand out when it comes to gut health. They are known to increase healthy bacteria and improve overall balance, improve digestive health and immune function as well. They can reduce symptoms of indigestion, bloating, nausea and stomach pain too as well as help reduce leaky gut and inflammation.

Glutathione:
Also known as the mother of all antioxidants, glutathione is a key player in your overall health. It’s critical for a strong immune system and to help clear toxins from your body. Supports healthy aging, energy production, and detox.

B-Complex:
One of my favorites, B vitamins have a big impact on your health. Vitamin B deficiencies can show up as fatigue, concentration issues, depression, anxiety, weakness and even skin issues. Not only are B Vitamins great for boosting your energy and metabolism, they also support your stress response, your heart health, hair, skin and nails as well as your immune system.

Sometimes I treat myself to QuickSilver Glutathione Complex where you get glutathione AND B vitamins in 1-2 teaspoons a day.

Magnesium Glycinate:
Magnesium is an essential co-factor that supports many processes in the body. It helps to maintain temperature, transport energy, support muscle relaxation, sleep, helps regulate calcium absorption and metabolizing the active from of Vitamin D. It can help relieve anxiety, manage blood sugar and reduce pain.

CoQ10:
Coenzyme Q10 is a vital nutrient known for boosting heart health and overall energy. It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. It’s best known for neutralizing free radicals and decreasing your risk of heart attacks but it also strengthens every cell in your body by supporting your Mitochondria. It can increase energy, enhance brain function and help with depression

When I work with clients (and myself) I sometimes test for micronutrients to direct a personalized supplement protocol. It’s just one reason we test and don’t guess as a powerful tool in your overall healing.

What Clients Are Saying

Carla really helped me to figure out my gut pain and issues after so many years. I finally feel like I have energy and clarity around my health! She was so easy to talk to and helped me discover problem areas that were causing me so much distress, when no other doctors could help.
VICTORIA

Well Humans changed my life. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis accompanied by chronic hives. It sprang up out of nowhere and caused bizarre “food allergies” that I’d never had before. Because of Carla’s coaching and dietary recommendations as well as GI Map testing, I can happily say that I am now symptom-free, and I have been in remission for over a year now. All of the doctors I saw told me I would have to deal with my symptoms because there was no cure, but here I am, back to living a mostly normal life. I highly recommend Carla and Well Humans for anyone looking for real answers and treatments that work.
KALYN

When working with Carla, you are in capable, compassionate, knowledgeable and caring hands. Carla truly cares about your well being and wants to help you be the healthiest that you can be. My health was truly suffering and with her guidance and suggested testing, we uncovered some issues that nobody else had uncovered, despite my going to some of the top rated medical institutions. My health and pain improved greatly due to Carla’s sleuthing…she knew where to look. Through many health challenges, I was quite emotional and Carla showed me what compassion looks like. If you want to truly improve your health, start with Well Humans.
BETH

Over years, I’ve tried various “alternative” medicine as well as conventional “western” medicine approaches. Skin ailments are hard to treat – so many aspects of a life can produce skin symptoms. I enthusiastically recommend Well Humans and Carla for a simple reason – I’ve experienced sustained, substantial improvement! I have hardly ever posted a review of anything, but writing this was an easy choice to make. I wish you all the best in your journey towards better health!
JON

I searched the U.S. to find someone who does what Carla does. Carla has used her knowledge, support and expertise to optimize my health and well-being with a blend of scientific medical tests, supplements and diet changes. I wasted a lot of time on my hunches, the internet and experiments with supplements and food and NOW i have an actual plan. Superb supportive knowledge and guidance. I highly recommend Carla. Grateful.
LISA

I never knew that I had a gluten allergy and intolerance until Carla discovered it in my blood work! I’m so grateful that she made this discovery and I have been gluten free ever since. I sleep better, don’t feel bloated and have much more energy. It was a life-changing insight.

I have been working with Carla for quite some time and she has helped me turn my life and health around. She is non-judgmental, and always wants the best for her clients.
