In my last post, we talked about why your kitchen is your primary pharmacy. But let’s be real: even with a perfect diet, the demands of heavy training, a busy business, and modern soil depletion mean that "gaps" are inevitable.

I don’t take supplements because they are trendy; I take them because they are functional. After years of testing, these are the four non-negotiables I use to support my recovery, hormone health, and performance.

1. The Performance Powerhouse: Thorne Creatine

If you aren't taking creatine, you’re leaving progress on the table. It is the most researched supplement in existence.

Why I take it: It increases the body's ability to produce energy rapidly. For us, that means more power in our lifts and better cognitive clarity during long workdays.
The Elizabeth Method: 5g every single day. Consistency is more important than timing here.

2. The Internal Infrastructure: Thorne Super EPA

Inflammation is the enemy of progress. High-quality Omega-3 fatty acids are the best way to keep your joints feeling "greased" and your heart healthy.

Why I take it: To balance the inflammatory response from heavy lifting and support brain health. Thorne’s Super EPA is molecularly distilled, meaning no "fishy burps" and zero heavy metals.
The Elizabeth Method: I take this with my largest meal of the day to maximize absorption.

3. The Gut Guardian: Thorne Complete Biotic

You aren't what you eat; you are what you absorb. If your gut health is compromised, your expensive organic groceries aren't doing their job.

Why I take it: This blend contains 11 shelf-stable strains that support a diverse microbiome. It’s my secret weapon for beating bloat and keeping my immune system resilient.
The Elizabeth Method: I take this first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

4. The Liquid Gold: Vitamin D + K2

Most of us are deficient in Vitamin D, especially if we spend our days inside the gym or an office.

Why I take it: Vitamin D is actually a hormone precursor. Pairing it with K2 ensures that the calcium in your blood goes to your bones where you need it, rather than your arteries.
The Elizabeth Method: Two drops a day. Simple, effective, and foundational for mood and bone density.

Why Thorne?

I chose to become a Thorne Brand Ambassador for one reason: Purity. They are the only brand trusted by dozens of professional sports teams and the UFC. They test every batch for contaminants, so I know exactly what is going into my body—and yours.
