Advanced Supplementation Insights for Practitioners

Hi!

Although you may already be a savvy practitioner, I am certain you will learn something new in this video about ‘Advanced Supplementation Insights for Practitioners.’ You’ll walk away with pages of notes and practical pearls you can use in your practice right away.

Here is some of what we covered:

  • CoQ10 with statins – yes! But what about these other often overlooked nutrient depletions from medications?
  • The only 3 reasons to ever recommend supplements – and what to be sure to do at the same time! 
  • Potential pitfalls of single nutrient supplementation long-term. Some key supplements are better together!
  • Caution to consider for these common COVID related supplements. 
  • Turmeric, Quercetin, and 5-HTP, oh my? Powerful, effective options, but make sure you know where to exercise caution in using them.
  • A good strategy with any supplement, going low’n’slow upon introduction is especially key with these common supplements.
  • Methylation is famous. And so is folate. But here’s what practitioners might be forgetting!
  • Underutilized solutions for Rapid Relief of anxiety. Are you using them?
  • You need a toolbox – not a single solution – to help your clients with sleep.  Here’s why and what we recommend you put in yours.

With gratitude to You for joining in the fun and learning,

Wow…, what a gold mine of information. The cost/risk/benefits of using medications to treat the symptoms but not the cause! It makes me think of the amount of people who are prescribed meds but with no long term plan to address the underlying cause. Mean while the body ends up borrowing from Peter to pay Paul! 🤧🤢

Love your swift delivery Tracey, thankyou! So many things to comment on. Your comments around long covid, glutathione and also depletions with common meds. PPis and HRT are becoming almost ubiquitous, add in long covid and complex PMH and our Px are a whirlwind of shifting sands. I really enjoy your clarity and richness of topic. Thankyou for sharing!

The quercetin issue with stress mediated symptoms. Better use other alternatives like stinging nettle leaves or pine bark extra!!

Doctors are prescribing a medication (metformin)) to treat the symptoms of the disease (diabetes and indirectly a downstream consequence-neuropathy), meanwhile the metformin depletes the important vitamin (B12) causing the same symptoms (neuropathy).

Loved the video! So many things.., the high zinc levels depleting zinc & leading to low WBCs. 5HTP leading to serotonin sickness with SSRIs/psychotropic meds…. B12 escorting B9 for methylation. Thank you Tracy!

Always love hearing about the magic of magnesium and stressing the importance of ample magnesium before supplementing with VitD.

Thank you so much for the informative FB live lecture! It is interesting to know that beta blocker can deplete coQ10 and melatonin in a body. So, we should consider coQ 10 and melatonin level in a person on beta blocker

Love the info about the potential for quercetin to impact the COMT enzyme and ability to metabolize estrogen and adrenaline!

It was a wonderful and information packed FB live. Tracy is so knowledgeable and a gifted presenter. The pearl i was not aware of was the curcumin can impair iron absorption. Possibly using boswellia for inflammation was also a great pearl. So much interconnectedness was shared.
Thank you Tracy!

Really loved this presentation. Thank you for opening my eyes that quercetin is not for every MCAS patient.
