Vitamins and Supplements


1. The Multivitamin for Everyone - Innate Response One Daily

Whole Food, Organic Vitamin for enhanced digestibility and nutritional value. Since its whole food, it can be taken anytime of day, even on an empty stomach with no issue! (Product Code IN43004)


2. Designs for Health - GI Revive Powder

This powder provides comprehensive support for optimum gastrointestinal health and function. The lining of the gut must have proper permeability and integrity so it can not only absorb nutrients, but also prevent toxins, allergens and microbes from gaining access to the blood stream. Maintaining gut health is the key to maintaining overall wellness. I've had great success with myself and others, simply mix into water or another beverage and drink once per day.

(Product Code GIREV)


3. Natural Vitality - Calmful Sleep

I have always loved Natural Vitality's CALM Magnesium powder for its magnesium repletion (nearly 50% of Americans are deficient in magnesium). For my clients who avoid dairy, I recommend the CALM plus Calcium powder to aid in maintaining calcium stores. Now, Natural Vitality has a Calmful Sleep powder that contains magnesium, melatonin, GABA and L-theanine (a relaxing amino acid) studied for their ability to hep the body ease into a restful sleep.

(Product Code N02260)



4. Manitoba Harvest - HempYeah! Protein Powder

Hemp protein provides 20 grams protein, 8 grams fiber and 2 grams omega-3 healthy fats! This product is Organic, Vegan, Dairy-free, Kosher, Non-GMO Project Verified, and free of artificial sweeteners. Add this to your smoothie, oatmeal, or beverage for a nutrient boost!

(Product Code AY146)


5. Integrative Therapeutics - PanPlex 2 Phase Capsules

Digestive aids are a good thing for everyone to have on hand. Digestive aids can help if you have: occasional bloating and gas, feel full after eating only a small quantity of food, if you have infrequent mild indigestion/heartburn, bowel irregularities, see undigested food in stool, and definitely if you have had your gallbladder removed. If symptoms have lasted over a couple months you should schedule an inquiry call with me to determine possible underlying issues.

(Product Code PAN65)



Skincare

1. Babo Botanicals - Clear Zinc Sun Lotion This sunscreen is free of dangerous chemicals: oxybenzone or cctinoxate. It is a mineral based lotion with certified organic oils for skin moisturizing. This product is safe for babies and kids too! (Product Code B92699)


2. AllVia - 1% Retinol Cream

This cream elivers a high concentration of retinol to moisturize the skin and diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and skin irregularities. Infused with Green Tea, vitamins C, D3 and E - antioxidants that help protect and heal damaged skin from free radicals. Retinol cream is recommended to be used at night and use sunscreen during the day to protect skin from UV rays.

(Product Code A46364)


This foundation covers well in a loose powder that contains green tea powder, pomegranate extract and iron oxides. It is free of harmful chemical parabens, bismuth oxychloride, titanium dioxide, oils, talc, dye, and lead. Works great on my annoying combination skin (oily/dry). (Product Code D00332)


4. Aura Casia Essential Oils

My favorite oils to use are lavender, peppermint, orange, lemon, cinnamon, and frankincense.

Peppermint is great for headaches and energy. Lemon and orange are wonderful for mood boosters mid-day! There is nothing lavender can't do. It is used for pain, burns, cuts, sleep and relaxation. If you don't have an oil diffuser yet, or are looking for another one for a different room. I love this dry diffuser by Dr. Mercola (Product Code DM9118)

(Product Code A08010)

In health and happiness - Liz

Introducing the Perimenopause Groundwork Workshop

​

A 4-Week Live Coaching Experience for Women Ready to Create Stability, Confidence, and Better Hormone Health. This is not a “watch on your own” program. It’s a guided, interactive, small-group experience where you learn and implement in real time.

​

Over four weeks, you’ll learn exactly:

✔ What your body is doing during perimenopause

✔ What supports your hormones (and what makes symptoms worse)

✔ How to regulate stress, blood sugar, inflammation, and sleep

✔ How to nourish your body during this transition

✔ How to create habits and rhythms that actually stick

​

By the end, you’ll walk away with a foundation strong enough to stabilize your symptoms and support you through the rest of this transition.

This Round is a LIVE Founding Member Experience

 

Lessons and resources are delivered weekly, based on what the group needs most.

This means you get real-time guidance tailored to your symptoms, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

You help shape this workshop — and in return, you get the most customized experience I will ever offer.

​

Here’s exactly what you get when you join the Perimenopause Groundwork Workshop:

​

  • 4 Weekly Live Trainings + Q&A. Each week, we dive into a core pillar of hormone support and turn it into simple, doable action steps.

  • Weekly Implementation Guides. Released one week at a time so you stay focused and never overwhelmed.

  • Symptom & Lifestyle Audit. A pre-workshop assessment to help you understand where your body needs the most support.

  • Real-Time Coaching & Support. Ask questions, get personalized feedback, and receive guidance specific to your symptoms.

  • Private Community or Chat Access. Stay supported and accountable between sessions.

  • Replay Access. If you miss a session, you can catch up on your own time.

​

​

This Workshop Is Perfect For You If…

 

You’re tired of:

  • Feeling inflamed, puffy, fatigued, or moody

  • Not recognizing your own body

  • Googling symptoms with no clear answers

  • Feeling dismissed or brushed off by providers

  • Trying to fix everything yourself

  • Starting habits but feeling too overwhelmed to keep them

 

And you’re ready to:

  • Feel supported — not alone

  • Understand what your body needs

  • Build habits that actually stick

  • Reduce the symptoms stealing your energy

  • Feel more steady, grounded, and confident

Ready to feel steady, supported, and taking control of your hormones?

Join me for four weeks in this live coaching workshop, starting January 5th.
