What I Take and Why
What I personally used during the most difficult season of my health — and what I continue to use and trust today. Shared with full transparency and no pressure.
If you read the supplement chapter, you already know that I am not someone who recommends things lightly. I spent years trying things that did not work, and I share this because it did — for me, and for the women I have walked alongside.
This is not a shopping page. It is an explanation. I want you to understand what these products do, why I chose them, and what to look for so that no matter what happens down the road, you can make a wise decision for your own body. The science is real. The results were real for me. And your healthcare provider should always be part of this conversation.
Your Gut and Your Brain Are
Talking to Each Other Constantly
Most people think of mental wellness as a brain problem. But roughly 95% of your serotonin — your primary feel-good neurotransmitter — is actually produced in the gut. When the gut is dysregulated, the brain feels it. And when the nervous system is stuck in chronic fight-or-flight, the gut feels that too.
This is called the gut-brain axis. It is a two-way communication highway, and most conventional medicine does not address it at all. That is part of why so many women are told they are fine — when they are not.
When I discovered that my nervous system dysregulation was affecting my gut health — and that my gut health was making my nervous system worse — everything started to make sense. Addressing both at the same time is what finally moved the needle for me.
That is what these products target. Not symptom management. The actual systems underneath the symptoms.
The Mental Wellness Continuum
Most of the women I work with land somewhere between 4 and 6 — the "fine" zone. Fatigued, foggy, bloated, achy, and told their labs are normal. When I started this journey I was at a 3 to 4. That is exactly who these products were designed to help.

The Fight or Flight Pack
This is my own name for this combination — not an official product name. It is what I call it because that is exactly what it addresses. Two products working together to give your body what it needs to shift out of survival mode.
The FundaMentals Pack
Three products in one pack — MentaBiotics, MentaFocus, and MentaSync — each targeting a different layer of the gut-brain connection.
In a clinical study, the FundaMentals Pack was shown to increase beneficial gut bacteria — which led to measurable reductions in tension, depression, anger, fatigue, and confusion, while increasing vigor. These are not marketing claims. They are published study results.

Mood+
All-natural mood support targeting the nervous system directly. This is the second half of what I call the Fight or Flight Pack — and for me, it is the one that addressed the emotional weight that comes with years of being stuck in survival mode.
The key natural ingredients in Mood+ have been clinically studied and shown to support a meaningful reduction in feelings of anger and sadness, as well as a significant decrease in stress-related symptoms — without sedation or synthetic compounds.

If My Recommendation Ever
Changes
Brands change. Products get discontinued. I never want you to be stuck. So here is what matters most — the systems you are trying to support, not the label on the bottle. If you are ever looking for an alternative, look for products that address these three areas:
Gut-Brain Axis Support
The gut and brain are in constant communication. When the gut is dysregulated, so is the nervous system. Look for products that specifically support this connection — prebiotics, probiotics, and targeted gut health support.
Cortisol Regulation
Chronic fight or flight floods the body with cortisol for years. Look for adaptogenic support that helps bring stress hormones back into healthy range without suppressing them entirely.
Mood and Nervous System Support
The nervous system needs targeted nutritional support to shift from sympathetic dominance into parasympathetic rest. Look for products designed specifically for this — not just general stress relief.
Quality and Transparency
Look for third-party tested products with clean ingredients. Proprietary blends can be appropriate when the branded ingredients are backed by clinical research and the dosages align with the scientific data. What matters is that the science behind the formula is sound and documented.
Want the full picture? Chapter 11 of The Doctor Says I'm Fine walks through the science behind each of these systems, what to look for in a supplement protocol, and how to evaluate options on your own. Get the book →
