How to Choose a Good Multivitamin (What to Look for and What to Avoid)

Written by Daniel on March 12, 2026. Posted in Blog, Herbal Remedies & Supplements, Holistic Health, Uncategorized.

Walk into any pharmacy or supplement store and you’ll see dozens of multivitamins. They all promise the same thing. Complete nutrition. Advanced formulas. More nutrients than your body could ever need. But here’s what most labels don’t tell you. Many multivitamins look impressive on paper but are poorly designed for human physiology. Three facts about multivitamins surprise most people: you don’t absorb everything you swallow 100% of the recommended intake does not mean optimal health nutrients interact with each other inside the body Once you understand...

Why Most Fish Oil Products Aren’t What You Think Fish oil is one of the most popular supplements in the world. Choosing a high-quality Omega-3 fish oil supplement isn’t as simple as picking the bottle with the highest milligram number on the front label. If you’ve ever wondered: What is the best fish oil supplement? How much EPA and DHA should it contain? What does molecularly distilled fish oil mean? How can you tell if fish oil is oxidized? This article will show you exactly what to look for and what actually matters. How Much EPA and DHA Should a High...

Diagnosed with Hypothyroidism? What Actually Matters After Diagnosis

Written by Daniel on March 12, 2026. Posted in Blog, Holistic Health.

You started medication. Your labs improved. But you still don’t feel like yourself. Why? This is the question many patients with hypothyroidism are left with. Standard treatment for hypothyroidism answers one important problem: low hormone supply. But supply is only part of the story. If you actually want to feel better, not just test better, you need to understand how thyroid hormone actually works in your body and what influences whether it can do its job. Hypothyroidism affects metabolism, energy production, mood, weight regulation, hair growth and temperature...

Your Blood Pressure Is High. Now What?

Written by Daniel on February 16, 2026. Posted in Blog, Holistic Health.

Understanding the Diagnosis, the Prescription, and the Bigger Picture For many people, high blood pressure enters their life quietly. You sit down. The cuff tightens. The doctor looks at the screen, pauses, and says it almost casually: “Your blood pressure is a bit high. I think we should start medication.” You feel fine. You didn’t come in for this. And suddenly you’re holding a prescription that may follow you for years. But before we talk about medication, side effects, or long-term use, we need to pause for a moment. Because without understanding what’s...

High blood pressure explained: how to choose natural solutions that actually help

Written by Daniel on January 23, 2026. Posted in Blog, Holistic Health.

Most people approach high blood pressure like this: I have high blood pressure. What does that mean? What can I do about it? That way of thinking makes sense, but it skips an important step. Different bodies raise blood pressure for different reasons. And supplements only help when they match the reason your body is responding the way it is. Once you understand why your blood pressure is elevated, the practical steps stop feeling random and become much easier to remember. That’s what this article is for. In this article, you’ll learn What high blood pressure...

Will Lifting Weights Make Women Bulky? What Actually Happens When Women Train for Strength

Written by Daniel on January 23, 2026. Posted in Blog, Holistic Health.

If lifting weights really made women bulky, most gyms would look very different. Yet this fear keeps coming back. Women hesitate to start strength training, or stop shortly after, not because they dislike training, but because they’re unsure what it will do to their bodies. That hesitation didn’t come out of nowhere. But it is rooted in a misunderstanding of how the female body actually adapts. Once you understand that, strength training stops feeling risky and starts making sense. In this article, you’ll learn: Why strength training doesn’t make women bulky What...

A Smarter Way to Build Muscle After 30 (Without Overdoing the Gym)

Written by Daniel on January 19, 2026. Posted in Blog, Holistic Health.

If building muscle were just about training, most plans would already work. They don’t. Because muscle growth after 30 isn’t driven by effort alone. It’s driven by whether your actions actually make sense to the body. For men over 30, building muscle depends less on extreme workouts and more on recovery, sleep, protein intake, and overall health. This article explains how muscle is built best later in life, and how to align training, nutrition, and recovery so your body actually responds, without overdoing the gym. In this article, you’ll learn: Why muscle...

High Blood Pressure: The Hidden Root Causes No One Talks About

Written by Daniel on December 5, 2025. Posted in Blog, Holistic Health.

Many people are taught that high blood pressure is caused by salt alone. But the truth is far more complex than that. Salt plays a role, yes, but for most people the real drivers sit deeper in the body. They involve how flexible your blood vessels are, how your metabolism handles food, how your nervous system carries tension, how well you sleep, and how your kidneys interpret your daily habits. This is why high blood pressure is known as the silent killer. Most people feel completely normal while these internal shifts build over years. There are rarely early symptoms....

Hair Loss: Causes, Symptoms, and Natural Ways to Stop Thinning Hair

Written by Daniel on November 26, 2025. Posted in Blog, Holistic Health.

Hair loss, thinning hair, and sudden shedding often feel personal, yet they are rarely random. Your hair is one of the most sensitive mirrors of your inner biology. When hormones shift, nutrients fall behind, stress rises, or the body feels unsafe, the follicles respond long before other symptoms show up. Hair is not failing you. It is reflecting you. Understanding this changes everything. It turns hair loss from a confusing experience into a meaningful sign. Many of the causes are modifiable, and when your internal environment stabilizes, hair often follows. This is the heart of...

Natural Solutions for Hypothyroidism: How to Support a Slow Thyroid and Feel Energized Again

Written by Daniel on November 13, 2025. Posted in Blog, Holistic Health.

Tired, cold, or foggy — even when your blood tests look “normal”? Your thyroid might not be failing, it might just be reacting to how you live. Here’s how to restore your energy naturally, step by step. Your Thyroid: The Engine Behind Your Energy Your thyroid is like your body’s internal thermostat, quietly setting the pace for your energy, warmth, and metabolism. When it slows down, every system feels it. Your focus fades, your mornings get heavier, and even your mood starts to dim. But here’s the part most people never hear: a slow thyroid doesn’t always mean...

Low Blood Pressure Symptoms, Causes & How to Raise It Naturally

Written by Daniel on November 4, 2025. Posted in Blog, Holistic Health.

Most people worry about high blood pressure. But if you often feel light-headed when standing, tired after meals, or foggy in the afternoon, you might have the opposite problem: low blood pressure, also called hypotension. It sounds healthy, even ideal, yet for many people it steals energy, focus, and drive. Often, people feel there can be nothing done about it, while your body is actually communicating that something deeper needs attention. Recognizing the Signs Low blood pressure symptoms are often subtle. You may feel: Dizziness when you stand up Cold hands and...

Symptoms of Low Progesterone (and What to Do About It)

Written by Daniel on October 30, 2025. Posted in Blog, Holistic Health.

Many women live for years with subtle hormonal imbalances without realizing how much they can change. Low progesterone is one of those hidden disruptors. It does not always show up as a disease, but it quietly shapes how you feel, sleep, recover, and relate to your body. The good news is that this is not a fixed state. Once you understand what is behind it, you can start to rebuild balance naturally. What Progesterone Actually Does Progesterone is more than a fertility hormone. It is your body’s calm and steady signal. It keeps estrogen in check, supports deep sleep, soothes the...

Bye bye UTI – The power of Uva Ursi, D-Mannose & Cranberry Extract!

Written by Bernadette_Abraham on January 21, 2025. Posted in Blog.

I’m telling you. This combo is powerful at stopping a urinary tract infection from brewing into something more serious that requires antibiotics.With travel and the stress of the launch of B Better, combined with a lack of hydration (I haven’t been carrying around a water bottle), my immune system for sure took a hit and allowed a brewing infection.I brought all of my “first aid” supplements with me on this trip, but I did not expect a brewing UTI… haven’t had one since my 20s. So what did I do? I researched health food companies in my area and called...

What Your Stool Color Means

Written by Bernadette_Abraham on January 21, 2025. Posted in Blog.

As gross or taboo as it may seem, poop, stool, #2, or whatever you like to call it, is an essential part of our physiology. We all do it (hopefully), and it provides a significant amount of information about our gut health, and therefore our overall health.⁣⁣⁣⁣ So step 1, start looking!

Remember… “SIBO” is a symptom, not a root cause!

Written by Bernadette_Abraham on January 21, 2025. Posted in Blog.

If you haven’t heard of SIBO, it stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. It’s basically bacteria in the wrong place. ‍♀️ If given the opportunity, bacteria from the large intestine can creep up into the small intestine and ferment the simple sugars and starches from food causing bloating, belching, gas, abdominal pain, cramping, constipation and diarrhea. Treatment typically involves natural anti-microbials and/or antibiotics like Rifaximin but unfortunately the rate of recurrence is oh-so common because SIBO is just a symptom, not the root...

Cholesterol 101: What do your cholesterol labs mean?

Written by Daniel on January 21, 2025. Posted in Blog.

Hi B-better family! Let’s help you understand your cholesterol labs today! Everyone knows at least something about cholesterol. Either through a brief meeting with your doctor who gave you back your results, through the scary headlines in newspapers or through one of the thousands of blogs you can find on the internet. If your health goal is preventing heart disease or longevity this is for you! A little apology: what was meant as a short ‘tip’ became a compact guide. But most of us at some point in our life will measure cholesterol, so I felt this was an...

Broken Bone Healing Protocol

Written by Bernadette_Abraham on January 20, 2025. Posted in Blog.

Unfortunately, accidents happen. Broken bones happen. So I wanted to share the following protocol adapted from Chris Kresser which provides specific nutrients to help speed up the bone healing process. Dosages are for adults, but it can be adjusted for children as well. A combination of supplements and food therapy options can also be used which I share below: 10 grams of citrulline a day, divided evenly across meals, taken before the meal. This helps generate nitric oxide, which helps deliver more blood carrying the other nutrients to the site of healing. 1500 mg of calcium from...
