My Daily "Supplement" Routine as a 53 Year Old

What I Actually Use: My Daily Stack for Focus, Energy & Feeling Like Myself Again and a few Bonus things

If you’ve ever asked me, “What do you use every day that actually works?” - this is the list.
No guesswork. No sketchy ingredients. Just a simple stack that helps me feel clear, steady, and strong throughout the day.

Here’s exactly what I use (and why):
At ground zero is my Coffee, LOL. I love these Latte's and as a Mama-On-The-Go, these have kept me healthy even when I travel, plus makes having coffee out so much easier on the budget. It's a Just Add Water thing!  They have several Teas and Coffee Types. Here's the Link to search the site - Look HERE.


Okay, now for all the taking of things....


1.) Peptides - Daily Cellular Support
I take my peptides first thing in the morning after my coffee because I have to have Coffee with Jesus every morning first of all the firsts. It’s become one of those “non-negotiables” that just makes my heart and brain feel switched on and steady-ready.

What’s in it:
Naturally derived peptides from sources like fava beans and whey protein hydrolysate
Designed to support focus, metabolism, mood, and energy (depending on the formula)

Why I use it:
I just completed my first 30 Days and I feel amazing on them and GOOD NEWS....I was at my heaviest back in 2022 and was able to release 30 lbs after about a year of trying so many things while learning about inflammation and what cortisol does to the body. My friend, Martha Krejci, who I have mentioned before created the original 11 Day Jumpstart and now she has created the 25 in 5 Program centered on lifestyle and peptides! We start soon. I'd love for you to join me!

These have been a GAME CHANGER for me - I have been fighting so hard to loose these last 25 lbs this past year and haven't been able to budge more than 2-3 lbs. It's like an invisible fat wall or something. After 30 days, I am down 8lbs and 7 overall inches!!! I cannot believe it! This is such a blessing and I feel so much better. 

 When I’m consistent with my peptides, I think clearer, move easier, and don’t feel as overwhelmed by little things. It’s like my body and mind get on the same page faster.

2.) Super Juice:  Whole-Body Antioxidant Support
This is my go-to for immune support, healthy energy, and a steady “lift” that doesn’t come from caffeine. It’s a wolfberry (goji)-based juice that I mix with water or drink as a shot. Been using it for years and years!

What’s in it:
Wolfberry puree + plum, aronia, cherry, blueberry, and pomegranate juices
Essential oils like orange and lemon
Packed with antioxidants and naturally occurring nutrients

Why I use it:
Super Juice helps me feel more resilient. When I’m run down or just want to stay ahead of the curve, this is what I reach for. I also crave it - it tastes good and feels like fuel. My house will never ever be without it!!!

3) Odyssey Revive Drinks - Adaptogens + Electrolytes
If I’m out running errands, prepping for a big work block, or just didn’t sleep great, Odyssey Revive drinks are a super quick way to feel replenished.

What’s in it:
~1500 mg Lion’s Mane + ~1250 mg Cordyceps
L‑Theanine, Panax ginseng, magnesium, zinc
Sparkling, sugar-free, caffeine-free (sweetened with erythritol + monk fruit)

Why I use it:
These give me a clean, focused kind of energy - not a jolt. The functional mushrooms support brain clarity, and the minerals help me stay hydrated and balanced.

4.) IQMIX Electrolyte Sticks  - Brain Hydration On the Go
These go everywhere with me. I toss a few in my bag and mix one into my water when I need electrolytes and brain support—without sugar or artificial stuff.

What’s in it:
Magnesium L-threonate (Magtein®), lion’s mane extract
Sodium, potassium, sea salt
Sweetened with stevia, ~3g carbs, no caffeine

Why I use it:
IQMIX is perfect when I’m traveling, sweating, or just running behind on hydration. I always feel sharper and more even after drinking it—like my brain finally catches up to the day.

My Daily Routine (Simple & Stackable)
AM: Morning Coffee, then Peptides (Lean, Fit) + 2 oz Super Juice (easily mix into Fit)
Midmorning: Vitamin D pills, Hydrated and if needed: Slow sipping of Energized and Focused Peptide
Midday Options: Odyssey Revive, IQMIX, Energized or my Coffee 
Anytime for Heavy Stress: Calm packet direct on tongue can be 1-2 a day, feel effect within 10-20 min

This combo supports my energy, focus, hydration, and overall wellness - without relying on unhealthy caffeine drinks. I rotate based on how I feel, but these are always in the mix.

As far as additional support:

I mentioned Vitamin D, these are great dissolvable ones my kids love too. I love my Probiotic and Defense pills and cough drops when I start to not feel well, or feel an UTI coming. My Supplement Homepage Product Section has most of them listed you can check them out. With the peptides, I am using less of these right now but they have their place. 

How grateful I am to have such access to so many resources! No one is exactly the same which is why I am sharing these with you that I use. I know you will find answers in this page! 

From PaleoValley I use their Beef Organs (4 capsules a day) and their Turmeric (2 capsules a day.) I don't have a link for them but here is their site: PaleoValley

I also add Pink Himalayan Salt, alternating Celtic Salt into my daily consumptions...adding to my coffee or sprinkle onto of my toast or salad...or straight on the tongue to absorbs and chase with a cup of water. You can get these at just about any store these days.

I am not a Nutritionist Girl, so I hear about hundreds of other things out there and I am learning what I can as I go too but I am also a snail's pace when it comes to introducing something new into my body. It has to be something recommended by a friend because I can trust them over a sales ad simply trying to sell me.

I think that covers it for now as far as what I use on the daily to support my body.

Some of you have asked about a few of the other things I am using and you can find that up in my Favs tab here on the site! And the list could go on and on with massagers, massage gun, weights, hot/cold packs, skincare, make up and finally a good deodorant that works.

Next on my list will be sauna and red light therapy!! 

Okay friends, this covers my DAILY MICHELE Routine for the most part outside of Jesus, Mindset and Movement. I wish I had a list like this when I began my journey for healthy swap outs! It's so amazing to share these things with you because I use them ALL and I know what they have done for me!!! 

If you wanna ask about anything else, just shoot me a message in Messenger. I am pretty basic and this really is the main stuff. 

Okay friends,

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
Ephesians 3:14-21 ESV

A Little About My Heart

 
Born and raised in the church, a Christ Follower, Kingdom Encourager, Wife, Mama, and an Overcomer! GLORY TO GOD!!

I lived most of my life fearful, anxious, and insecure.. I found myself always hiding but serving, striving for perfection in my less-thanness, as a way to earn my worth to self, God and others, sacrificing in the name of serving, hospitality and humility...putting others needs before my own from a place of hiding in my lack, and trying to earn value rather than serving in the space of grace, confident faith and overflowing love. 

Never attaining, only to lead a life of more insecurity, overwhelm, anxiety, and panic, screaming to break free from this bondage, to be that actual strong, courageous Christian Woman everyone else seemed to be, but me. 

BUT GOD.

In 2009, Where Faith Is was born as a blog, learning my voice behind the safety of a keyboard, building courage to speak my truth behind the screen...and here all these years later, Little by little, God is expanding my heart boundaries as He reveals more of His to me. I am so excited to share so freely! 

I especially love being an encourager to other encouragers in the faith who know they are called to encourage yet they themselves struggle with their value and ability. Isn't that how the enemy works? He tries to disqualify us in the same area we are called to shine! What an irony!  

I believe if more people let go of fear and insecurity, surrendered to grace and BELIEVED their value, their spark for life will return to a roaring fire that lights up wet wood! 

When women choose to walk courageous and strong in body, mind and spirit...they step out of the boat and walk on water as Peter did, part the waters like Moses and set more people FREE in His name through their Divine purpose to the Glory of GOD! We are each a Light House of Strength on the shorelines of Grace . 

Friend, you may not believe it, but you are meant for more than eat/sleep/work/repeat. You are also equipped with good works to serve and bless the Kingdom Body, and the world with His Love, through YOU! You've got to surrender your fear and let Him lead you.

You are more able than you think you are and most likely, the thing you feel is the weakest part of you is the strongest thing about you!

If you are an introvert too and want to be a part of our newly launching online community, we are here for you!! Let's Connect! It's an honor to encourage the Encouragers.

I am H.I.S. (Heart In Surrender & Service).

Hugs & Blessings, 
Michele

"So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 
Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:1-4
