4 Supplements I'm Getting My Ageing Parents To Take

1. Creatine

2. Omega-3s

3. Vitamin D3 & K2

4. Magnesium Glycinate

Here's why ...

1. Creatine isn't just for gym bros, it's for longevity.

It helps preserve muscle & strength, which declines 3-8% every decade after 30.

It also boosts brain energy & may protect against depression & cognitive decline.

2. Omega-3s

Fish oil is brain & heart insurance.

EPA + DHA lowers inflammation, improves blood flow, supports memory, & protects against heart disease.

Most older adults don't get enough through diet, & when paired with the next supplement, it has been shown to reduce biological ageing.

3. Vitamin D3 + K2

As we age, our ability to synthesise vitamin D from sunlight drops. D3 supports immunity, muscle strength, & bone health.

Pairing it with K2 ensures calcium goes into the bones, not arteries. This combo helps prevent fractures & heart disease.

4. Magnesium Glycinate

Magnesium powers 300+ reactions in the body, including sleep quality, muscle recovery, & heart rhythm.

The glycinate form is gentle on the stomach & calming for the nervous system, making it perfect for ageing parents who want deep, restorative rest.

Other supplements I'd consider:

Multi-vitamin for nutrient insurance

L-theanine for mood & stress relief

CoQ10 supports heart health & energy

Glycine improves sleep & supports collagen

Supplements aren't mandatory, but they help, especially if you're not getting enough through natural means.

Caramel Apple Soft Serve

Trade dairy soft serve for this heavenly, creamy, fruit-based option. Made with banana, apple, and dates, this soft serve is a virus-fighting, liver-healing treat you can feel good about enjoying as often as you’d like!

This delicious recipe is one of over 75 recipes in the new book, Medical Medium Cleanse to Heal: Healing Plans for Sufferers of Anxiety, Depression, Acne, Eczema, Lyme, Gut Problems, Brain Fog, Weight Issues, Migraines, Bloating, Vertigo, Psoriasis, Cysts, Fatigue, PCOS, Fibroids, UTI, Endometriosis & Autoimmune.

Let's take a look at how some of the key ingredients in this recipe offer healing support:

Apples: Provide living water to support the liver’s hydration capabilities, so it can store the water and then release it back into the bloodstream when dehydration or dirty blood syndrome occurs. The fruit acids in apples help cleanse the liver by dispersing toxic films that build up inside its storage banks. Apples starve out bacteria, yeast, mold, other funguses, and viruses from the intestinal tract and liver. Great for dissolving gallstones.

Bananas: The fructose in banana is liver’s favorite source of food. It provides quick fuel to the liver and wakes up sleepy cells, increasing their ingenuity and work output. Soothes the linings of the intestinal tract and also soothes the nerves attached to the intestinal tract. Contrary to popular belief, bananas are one of the most antibacterial, anti-yeast, antifungal foods. A great food to combine with other nutrient-rich foods or to take with supplements, because they improve the liver’s ability to absorb nutrients.

Dates: The intestinal tract builds up mucus due to low hydrochloric acid and bile production, and that can slow down absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream. Dates expel and eliminate mucus, especially that produced by pathogens such as bacteria and fungus, from the colon. The sugars in dates feed the liver; they’re a great source of glucose for recovery and restoration that allows the liver to maximize its over 2,000 chemical functions.
