Traveling can strongly affect our microbiome. Keeping my microbiome healthy and thriving is always my top priority because a functioning body requires a thriving gut microbiome. 
Here is the list of supplements I take with me to prevent dysbiosis (aka an alteration in the gut microbiome). Dysbiosis may initially manifest as digestive issues, but if not treated properly, it can affect hormones, immunity, metabolism, energy levels, sleep, and more!

GUT HEALTH TRAVEL SUPPLEMENTS:

• Complete Digestive Enzymes to optimize digestion and enhance protein utilization. This is especially important for women, who break down proteins less efficiently than men 
• Ultrabinder powder (a mix of charcoal, chitosan, zeolite, aloe vera, silica, gum Arabic, sodium bentonite clay) to clear the body from toxins. This binder powder has been a game changer in my mercury detoxification journey and couldn’t live without it now. Heavy metals make it easier for bad bacteria to live and grow in the gut

• Herbs for dysbiosis. I know dysbiosis is general and looks different in everyone. I’m personally more susceptible to intestinal candida infection, so I like taking with me herbs that help keep that in check. My herbs of choice are oregano extract, caprylic acid, berberine, and garlic (some of these are really helpful to kill off all bad bacteria not just Candida)

• Lactobacillus + S. Boulardii (probiotics). I don’t recommend using probiotics daily because they can do more harm than good (causing dysbiosis). However, especially when traveling to countries where you’re more likely to be exposed to “bad” bacteria and alter your microbiome, I find Lactobacillus with S. Boulardii very helpful

Remember to eat the rainbow, or how we call it in Functional Medicine, the whole phytonutrient spectrum.

PHYTONUTRIENTS are powerful health substances contained in fruits and vegetables, legumes, herbs, spices, nuts, seeds, and teas. Phytonutrients in food come in all different colors and it is important to eat them all!

All phytonutrients have anti-inflammatory and cell protection benefits. Yet every color can be particularly beneficial for certain organs (swipe to find out)

While darker-colored plants are generally higher in phytonutrients, white and tan plants also have several beneficial components!

HEALING:
Nutrition
Sleep
Stress management
Movement
Relationship to the self

If you’re on your healing journey and focusing on just one of these spheres, healing won’t happen

Be true and gentle to yourself.

Are you suffering from hormonal imbalances?

IMBALANCED S*X HORMONES ARE LIKE TOXINS

When metabolism of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone is dysregulated-
PMS, irregular periods, endometriosis, PCOS, and other conditions come out.

FLAX SEEDS are rich in lignans and are powerful for hormone metabolism!

Try incorporating at least 5 servings of flaxseeds a week into your diet especially during the first phase of the menstrual cycle (days 1 - 14). And if you don’t have a cycle, consuming flaxseeds still is a powerful way to support your hormonal health.

What to choose:
- GROUND FLAXSEEDS (ground flaxseeds at the grocery store may be oxidized already, so I recommend buying whole flaxseeds, blending them and storing them in the refrigerator or freezer to prevent oxidation)
- FLAXSEED OIL (should be unfiltered, so containing lignans)

Check out the recipe “2-Ingredient Flax Wraps” on my website (link in bio)

Let’s talk about FOOD SENSITIVITIES & CORTISOL

Food sensitivities are reactions that cause symptoms to appear hours or days later. These sensitivities are linked to an imbalance in the digestive system that affects the immune system. Thus, the appearance of symptoms is NOT immediately connected to the consumption of a specific food (unlike food allergies and intolerances).

Symptoms of food sensitivities include:
* Acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other skin issues
* Brain fog and low energy
* Digestive issues
* Joint pain and muscle aches
* Chronic headaches
* Respiratory symptoms like congestion, runny nose, and asthma-like symptoms
* Weight fluctuations
* Recurrent ear, nose, and throat issues
* Autoimmune flares

All these symptoms are connected to a state of INFLAMMATION. Food sensitivities initially impact the body more “silently” by increasing CORTISOL levels, and then manifest in various forms.

If you suspect a possible food sensitivity, I recommend doing a complete IgG test and primarily referring to the results of IgG4 and C3b/d (make sure it’s a complete test)

As part of our natural circadian rhythm, CORTISOL LEVELS fluctuate throughout the day—peaking in the morning to wake us up and gradually declining to allow restful sleep at night. However, modern stressors can disrupt this balance, leading to elevated cortisol levels and a cascade of health issues.

In this post I’m sharing how to naturally sync your cortisol levels.

TESTING: One of my favorite methods to get an accurate picture of cortisol levels throughout the day is the SALIVARY DIURNAL TEST. This non-invasive test measures cortisol at different times, giving you insights into how your levels fluctuate from morning to night. It’s a really helpful tool for identifying imbalances and correcting them with the right supplement/lifestyle practices at the right time.

Let me share my personal example. From my test (took it when I found out about my mercury intoxication, 2022) you can see my cortisol levels were spiking around 6 pm. This is why I started implementing specific supplements, yoga or some breathing exercises at 5.30 pm.

If you’d like to do a salivary cortisol test, I’m partnering with the following labs:
• in US:
• in Italy:

Remember, health is all about precision and I’m here to help you level up your healing journey!
