Now that I’ve been using and loving EquiLife products for the past few years, I thought I’d share some of my top picks!
Hi friends! How are you? I hope you’re having a wonderful week. Today started bright and early with an F45 class, I enjoyed brunch with friends, and am writing this post in the ballet studio parking lot.
After all of the retirement festivities, this week has felt pretty chill.. it’s been a nice treat after Liv’s birthday, Orlando, back-to-back sicknesses between the Pilot and kids, and then straight into retirement festivities as soon as everyone recovered.
For today’s post, I wanted to share a roundup of my favorite Equilife products now that I’ve been using them for a couple of years. Over time, I’ve tried countless supplements, detoxes, and wellness products, but very few have genuinely impressed me like EquiLife. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’m all about getting to the root cause instead of just putting a band-aid on symptoms. That’s why I love EquiLife’s science-backed, functional medicine approach to supporting the body naturally.
I’m super picky about the supplements and products I buy (EquiLife and NOW foods are #1 by a landslide) and I know it can overwhelming when you’re first browsing.
Here are some of my tried and true go-tos. As always, talk with a doctor before making any supplement changes. It’s also helpful to do functional testing to see your unique imbalances so you can supplement strategically. A lot of people are blindly taking supplements they don’t actually need.

the best EquiLife products
Daily Nutritional Support
If I had to recommend just one EquiLife product to everyone, this would be it. DNS is basically a multivitamin, protein shake, and detoxifier all in one, making it a beloved staple for busy moms, working professionals, and active kids. P takes it every day!
Why I Love It:
It provides all essential vitamins and minerals in the right ratios.
Supports detoxification (great for those who struggle with sluggish digestion or inflammation).
The vegan protein blend (pea + rice) keeps you full and fuels your workouts.
Tastes… ok 🙂 I mix it with Truvani or NOW foods protein to get in some extra protein and make it taste even better.
I love making this as a nutrient-dense protein pudding and I top with berries and Nuttzo. This is my breakfast almost every single day.
Omega 3s
Most people are deficient in Omega-3s, which are essential for brain function, heart health, and reducing inflammation. EquiLife’s Omega-3 supplement is one of the purest and most potent formulas available, and it’s a daily staple for me. It was a huge part of my autoimmune healing journey, too.
Why I Love It:
High-potency EPA & DHA for maximum anti-inflammatory benefits.
Can help with joint health, brain function, eye lubrication, and hormone balance.
No fishy aftertaste (because let’s be real, no one wants that). The kids like this one, too!
If you deal with brain fog, achy joints, or inflammation, adding Omega-3s can make a noticeable difference.
Functional Medicine Detox
If you’ve ever felt sluggish, bloated, or just “off”, a Functional Medicine Detox could be exactly what your body needs. I do one at least a few times each year (ideally it’s quarterly), and every time, I feel lighter, more energized, and completely refreshed. My full review of the Dr. Cabral detox is here.
Why I Love It:
Supports liver detoxification (so important in today’s toxin-filled world!).
Can help with digestion, bloating, and skin clarity.
Can balance blood sugar and cravings.
It’s not a “juice cleanse” or a crash diet—it’s a nutrient-dense reset that gives your body a break and allows it to function at its best. When I do this detox, it helps me to revive my relationship with whole foods and I notice a huge difference in my skin, reduced inflammation, and increased energy. The link is here.
Liquid Melatonin
If you struggle to fall or stay asleep, melatonin can be everryyyyyything. This fast-absorbing formula helps you get into a deep, restorative sleep without waking up groggy. If I’m feeling ansty before bed, or I want to sleep on a flight, melatonin saves the day for me. I used to be afraid of melatonin (before I learned more about it), and now I LOVE this stuff.
Why I Love It:
Supports natural melatonin production for a healthy sleep cycle.
Can help reduce stress and cortisol levels.
Works quickly (great for those who struggle with racing thoughts at night).
Quality sleep is non-negotiable for overall health, and this makes it so much easier to wind down and wake up refreshed.
CBO protocol
If you’ve dealt with bloating, IBS, or gut imbalances, this 12-week protocol changed my entire life (and I’m not exagerrating). It’s designed to rebalance your gut microbiome, reduce inflammation, and improve digestion—something I recommend to clients all the time after reviewing lab results.
Why I Love It:
Targets candida, bacterial overgrowth, and gut dysbiosis.
Can help with bloating, digestion, and food sensitivities.
Includes probiotics + gut repairing nutrients for long-term healing.
Gut health impacts everything—your skin, hormones, energy, and immune system—so if you’re dealing with persistent issues, this is worth looking into! I don’t recommend this protocol without doing an OAT test first.
Progesterone Support
If you struggle with PMS, irregular cycles, mood swings, or low energy, progesterone might be the missing piece of the puzzle. This formula is designed to naturally support progesterone levels, which is crucial for hormonal balance and fertility.
Last time I checked my hormone levels, my progesterone was on the floor. Now that I’ve been taking this supplement consistently (and really working on my nervous system), my progesterone is back to a healthy level.
Why I Love It:
Contains Vitex (Chasteberry) to support progesterone production.
Can reduce PMS symptoms, bloating, and mood swings.
Supports better sleep and relaxation.
So many women experience hormonal imbalances without realizing it, and this is a great tool to help restore balance naturally. I wouldn’t recommend adding this to your routine without doing a Stress, Mood, and Metabolism test.
Universal Binder
If you’re looking for a powerhouse supplement to support detoxification, gut health, and overall well-being, I love the Universal Binder. I personally love this product for its ability to help remove toxins and support a healthy microbiome—especially if you’re going through a functional medicine detox, parasite cleanse, or just want to reduce your toxic load.
Key Ingredients & Benefits:
Activated Charcoal – Helps bind to toxins, heavy metals, and environmental pollutants, aiding in their safe removal from the body.
Bentonite Clay – A natural detoxifier that supports gut health by binding to unwanted substances while providing essential minerals.
Humic & Fulvic Acids – These plant-derived compounds help improve nutrient absorption, promote gut healing, and support cellular energy.
Why I Love It
Toxins from food, water, beauty products, and even the environment can build up in our bodies over time. The Universal Binder helps support the body’s natural detox pathways by “grabbing” onto these toxins and carrying them out—so they don’t recirculate and cause inflammation. This can be especially beneficial for those dealing with bloating, brain fog, skin issues, or gut imbalances.
If you’re doing a Functional Medicine Detox, Parasite Protocol, or CBO Protocol, this is an essential tool to ensure you’re properly binding and eliminating toxins. Just be sure to take it away from food and supplements so it doesn’t interfere with nutrient absorption!
Daily Probiotic
Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria, and keeping them balanced is key for digestion, immunity, and even mental health. This high-quality, broad-spectrum probiotic is a daily essential. Note: I don’t recommend probiotics for everyone. If you have gut imabalances, probiotics feed ALL bacteria (the good and the bad) and can actually make symptoms worse. This is why testing is crucial, friends.
Why I Love It:
50 billion CFUs of beneficial bacteria for optimal gut health.
Can help with bloating, digestion, and food sensitivities.
Survivability formula ensures it actually reaches your gut (not all probiotics do!).
Easy way to support digestion and immunity
All of their functional labs:
EquiLife offers a variety of tests that give in-depth insights into your hormones, gut health, nutrient levels, and more. I learned how to run these tests in my Integrative Health Practitioner certifications, and they’ve changed the game for my health, my family’s, and my client’s.
My favorites:
HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis): Helps detect mineral imbalances, electrolytes, and heavy metal toxicity.
OAT test: Identifies candida, bacterial overgrowth, nutrient deficiencies, neurotransmitter precursors, and digestive imbalances.
Stress, Mood and Metabolism: Identifies cortisol, sex hormone, blood sugar, Vitamin D levels, and thyroid issues.
Food Sensitivity Test: A must for anyone dealing with inflammation, bloating, or skin issues. My review is here.
Getting personalized data takes the guesswork out of your health journey. Instead of blindly trying different supplements or diets, these tests can help determine your unique needs and toxicities.
So tell me, friends: have you tried anything from Equilife? What’s your fave? What are some of your go-to supplement brands?
