Stories on Trauma, Disorder and Mindfulness
Supplements & Snacks
Supplements*
Along with having a sensory diet, having a gut health diet can also help you (or a loved one) stay regulated and avoid digestive issues:*
-
Take a probiotic first thing in the morning and right before bed. I like the Garden of Life brand Primal Defense HSO Probiotic Formula.
-
Chew digestive enzymes after eating grains, dairy or animal protein. I like Whole Foods' 365 Chewable Papaya Enzymes.
*You are different than me. The information I provide is based on my experience. Always consult your intuition and team of experts regarding your own health.
Snacks*
-
Drink more water in a day than you thought possible. I drink two, 8-ounce glasses in the morning, and then I fill up a 64-ounce jug. I add fresh lemon juice for some flavor.
-
Drink kombucha daily or when your gut feels unregulated. I love GT's brand. You can find it at Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and in the grocery section at Target!
-
Have snacks with you at all times. I like travel packs of nuts, popcorn, protein shakes — basically anything that will help stabilize my blood sugar while on the go.
