Hallie's Supplement Roundup
Here's everything I'm currently taking, and a little on the why behind each one.
Two quick things:
I'm not a doctor, and this isn't medical advice. Every single thing on this list was chosen for me, based on my own labs, testing, and genetics, with my providers at Velocity Health.
A few items are prescription and a few came straight from my genetic results, so please don't just copy my list. Use it as a jumping-off point for a conversation with your own doctor.
Mornings (first thing):
Seed probiotic — 2 capsules every morning on an empty stomach. Gut health has been my whole focus.
Sun Fiber (prebiotic) — one scoop, 7g, stirred into my coffee.
Naked Creatine — 1 to 2 scoops in my coffee. (Not just for the gym crowd! I take it for energy and muscle support.)
Psyllium Fiber — 2 tablespoons in my morning smoothie. (Recipe's at the bottom of this page!)
Midday:
Homocysteine Factors — my provider added this for cardiovascular and vascular support.
Pendulum Akkermansia — a probiotic that's part of my gut-lining support.
DAO Enzyme (as needed) — my genetic testing showed I'm DAO deficient, so I take this before a high-histamine meal.
Calcium/Magnesium Butyrate — supports gut-lining integrity, a big focus for me.
Quercetin Complex — for histamine and inflammation support.
Vitamin D3 5000 + K — for bone and cardiovascular support, and the K helps with absorption.
Essential for Women Prenatal (Citrus) — I take this specific one because my testing showed I'm choline deficient.
Nighttime:
HRT, estradiol + progesterone (prescription) — honestly game changing. This replenished what my body lost in menopause.
Vaginal estradiol cream (prescription) — 1 to 2x a week. I'll be honest because nobody talks about this enough: it keeps the tissue healthy and helps with the comfort and recurring issues so many of us deal with after menopause.
Magnesium Glycinate, 120mg — for sleep quality and calming my nervous system. A keeper.
NAC 600mg (as needed) — I reach for this for liver support, like when I'm getting sick or after a glass of wine.
That's the whole list! A few are prescriptions and a few came from my genetic and lab work, which is exactly why I can't tell you what you should take, only what works for me.

My Low-Histamine Smoothie Recipe
Since so many of you ask, here's the smoothie I make most mornings. Makes 3 large servings (about 60 oz).
Ingredients:
2 cups water
½ cup nut pod creamer
1 cup riced cauliflower
¾ cup blueberries
½ cup cherries
3 tablespoons psyllium husk
3 rounded scoops protein powder (check that yours is low-histamine!)
A generous squirt of honey (if your protein powder is unflavored)
Blend on high for about 1 minute, until it's nice and frothy. If it's too thick, add a splash more water and re-blend. Easy peasy!
I also love this chocolate pistachio smoothie recipe!
xo, Hallie
