2. Magnesium – Calms the nervous system and promotes better sleep and stress response.

3. Vitamin D – Often called the “sunshine vitamin,” it supports serotonin levels and overall mood.

4. B-Complex Vitamins – Crucial for energy, focus, and regulating mood.

5. Probiotics – A healthy gut = a happier brain. The gut-brain connection is real!

6. L-Theanine – Found in green tea, it helps ease tension without drowsiness.

7. Ashwagandha – An adaptogen that supports your body’s stress response and emotional stability.

🌼 Consistency matters — not perfection. Pair these with hydration, movement, sunlight, prayer or meditation, and genuine connection for whole-person wellness.
