Find the personalized supplement plan for your lifestyle

There's no one-size-fits-all supplement plan. Every path and phase of life has its own challenges. Find the perfect plan for you with these four customized approaches.

1. The New Parent.

Baby in the house? That means restless nights, unbalanced routines, lack of exercise, and hasty meals. Here's your solution (breastfeeding moms, always check with your doctor first):

SLEEP DEEP. "Get it when you can" is the rule for sleep. That means it must be restful and solid. Good choices for dads and non-nursing moms: passionflower, kava kava, and melatonin can help you sleep deeply, usually without causing grogginess the next day. Essential oils of lavender, bergamot, sandalwood, frankincense, and mandarin have also been shown to induce sleep. Breastfeeding moms: chamomile, lemon balm, and hops in teas or tinctures are gentle and generally considered safe.

GET JITTER-FREE ENERGY. Because sleep is likely to be meager and scattered, you'll need more energy during the day. Choose supportive adaptogenic herbs: Ashwagandha, rhodiola, and eleuthero (sometimes called Siberian ginseng, though it’s unrelated to Asian and American ginseng) help balance stress hormones and restore energy, naturally. Or look for combo formulas that contain choline, B complex, malic acid, and a spectrum of vitamins and minerals.
