Favorite Supplements on The Body Ecology Diet

I found The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.) in 2010 and haven’t looked back since. I like everything about this diet … from its yin/yang roots to the principle of food combining to the laid-back approach you are unique, do what feels good.

There’s a relaxation here I’ve yet to find in another diet. A place to come home to. As a Holistic Nutritionist for those practicing B.E.D., I’m often asked which supplements to take. My answer, almost every time, is “check out the body ecology store“. I like their products and have taken most of them myself at one point as have my husband and kids.

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

For example, a client came for a couple support sessions. He’d been on the diet 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 🙂

Grounding into the body is an empowering experience. I take my hat off to anyone who helps themself in this way. Without further ado, I’ll shine a spotlight on my favorite supplements that B.E.D. carries for purchase when, and if, you are ready.  

My Favorite B.E.D. Supplements

Assist Dairy & Protein contains hydrochloric acid, lipase, lactase, pepsin, and protease enzymes to digest animal food, dairy, nuts/seeds, legumes.

LivAmend contains artichoke, sarsaparilla, wasabi, and milk thistle to increase bile flow and support a healthy liver that can improve detoxification and bowel elimination. 

Ocean Plant Extract contains a mineral-rich, wild ocean vegetable called Laminaria to support the thyroid, boost energy, enhance cellular communication and immune function, and reduce inflammation. 

If you don’t see a B.E.D. supplement here, it doesn’t mean I don’t like it. More likely because I don’t have enough experience with it yet 🙂
