November 22, 2023Dr. Stephanie GrayPodcastNo Comments

Aside from hormones, some of the top questions I receive are regarding supplements. Thomas Pennel joins me today for Part 1 of a four-part series where we dive into many supplements, A through Z. Today, we discuss Adrenal Calm, Adrenal Drive, Herbal Adrenal Complex, Advanced Yeast Complex, aloe, alpha lipoic acid, ashwagandha, betaine, and pepsin. We also get into B vitamins, bone broth, Berberine, choline and calcium, magnesium, and the benefits of amino acid chelated minerals.

The benefits of bone broth:

It is good to eat when you need to rest your gut because of food sensitivities
It is full of amino acids, specifically glutamine, the most important non-essential amino acid for healing a leaky gut
It is easy to take as a supplement
