Dr. Tina’s Favorite Products


There are two kinds of vitamin supplements, isolated and food grown.

Isolated are just what they sound like, they are totally isolated from there original form in food to form things like ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and will usually appear in much higher doses than the RDA (recommended daily allowance) determined by the FDA. Isolates are not bad, they are simply different and are best used for a specific health challenge and with the input of a professional and you may need blood tests to check for levels.

Food grown supplements are when isolated vitamins discussed above are fed to food so that it may be transformed into a form your body recognizes….that would be food!  This is why they are thought to be superior.  However, sometimes, isolates are better tolerated.

It is not important to understand this process, except to know that we were designed to eat food for nutrition and that is still the best way to get our nutrients. However, because of the pace of our lives and the quality of our food, most of us could benefit from a multivitamin and mineral supplement. My bias is that food grown is best.

Dr. Tina’s Five for Health


  • MULTI VITAMIN – preferably “food grown” like New Chapter or Mega Foods.  Garden of Life capsules or Liquid formulas are good second choices.
  • ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS – The correct EPA/DHA ratio.  Liquid is the easiest way to get a substantial dose.  Essential fats are well, essential, for all mental health diagnosis.
  • PROBIOTIC FLORA – This is the most importantIF YOU TAKE NOTHING ELSE MAKE SURE TO GET YOUR FLORA (yes, I am shouting)!  Take a broad spectrum.  Take a variety.  And/Or eat fermented food daily like Kombucha, Sauerkraut, Yogurt, Kim Chi.
  • TRACE MINERAL – a wide variety of nutrients no longer found in the soil or a food.  It is best in liquid form.  For some people, this is a real game-changer.
  • DIGESTIVE AIDS –  such as Enzymes , HCL, or RAW Apple Cider Vinegar with each meal.  Unless you are young or have especially vibrant health already.  Especially important as you age. Remember, you get what you pay for in supplements.  Cheap digestive enzymes are a waste of your money.  Raw Apple Cider Vinegar (it must be RAW) and HCL are very reasonably priced.

Cold Snap, Ocho Oriental Herb Co.

This is the very best product I have ever used for stopping a cold. Follow the “alternative directions”and start taking as soon as the first symptom appears. Take lots of it.  Remember, you need more herbs when under attack, not less. Also an outstanding product to take during any kind of a “flair” like lyme, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, or when traveling to keep your immune system strong.

Be MINDFUL and Aware with the use of ALL products. You are unique – you have not been individually tested for how your body will react. Do not add more than one new product every 4 days to discern how your body will respond. You are always your best adviser. Discontinue ANY product that you suspect is not good for you.  As always listen to your own body.  Your body knows. Trust your body. Heed it’s wisdom!

And remember, just because a product did not work once does not mean you can never use it – at deeper levels of healing your body changes.  However, this is not true for pharmaceuticals, PLEASE speak with your Medical Doctor for guidance around drugs and your personal prescriptions. Dr. Tina is not a medical doctor. You need a medical doctor on your team of professionals too.
