My Favorite Supplements on The Body Ecology Diet

I found Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.) in 2010 and like everything about this way of eating … from the yin and yang roots to the practice of food combining to a laid-back approach of you are unique, do what feels good.

There is a relaxation here I have yet to find in any other diet; a place to come home to again and again. As a Holistic Nutritionist for those using B.E.D. to heal, I am often asked what supplements to take …. my answer, near every time is “go check out body ecology“. I have taken most of the products that Donna Gates, founder of B.E.D., has created and sells as have my children and the people that come to me for nutritional support.

Watching someone begin a body ecology supplement is a joy ~ like watching a child wake to the world, realizing their place within, and that they are strong, independent, and capable.

A client came to me for B.E.D. Support; he had been on the diet for a couple weeks and not able to poop without a laxative. I recommended LivAmend and Bifidus Blend to get things moving and within a week of both, he came back lighter in attitude and belly 🙂 Rejoice! Confidence!

Grounding into the body is empowering and near always comes with bringing concentrated attention to the body’s healing. I take my hat off to anyone who helps themself in this way. Without further ado, I will shine a spotlight on my top favorite supplements from B.E.D.

Don’t see a B.E.D. supplement here? That doesn’t mean I would not recommend …. more likely because I don’t have enough experience to write about it yet 🙂
