gut-brain support
how our gut influences our entire being
We have arrived at the final part 4 of 4 in this mini series on supplementation support.
The final piece is the gut, gut-brain, and whole self since science now tells us our gut influences our entire being.
From my personal experience, a daily support strategy for our microbiome for overall wellbeing is a heck-yes. For me and my girls, that’s a probiotic and fish oil every morning. A probiotic/prebiotic to bring healthy strains of bacteria into the gut, and fish oil for cognitive support (me) & brain development (my girls). Hutch takes PB Restore every morning, too.
We know our soil and food alone doesn’t provide the nutrients and minerals as it once did which is why we supplement part of our morning/evening routines. And also, we’re not perfect eaters (all vitamins & minerals welcomed!) and we definitely don’t consume enough fish/salmon for the required daily intake of omegas so supplementation helps fill our nutrition gaps.
EO MEGA+
This one is a must for me, and dōTERRA has completely upleveled its fish oil supplement. dōTERRA has sourced superior omegas from small wild-caught fish off the coast of Norway, providing clean, pure & traceable fish oil. Each serving of three (3) EO MEGA+ capsules provides 2000mg of fish oil (EPA & DHA).
We want our omegas for longevity, heart health, cognitive function, maintaining mood, healthy inflammatory response, muscle repair. I take them with first food of the day. Or later when I forget. I double-dosed acutely after my recent leg surgery, as recommended by my ND. At mid-life, I’m all in for omega support.
My kids took the IQ Mega fish oil for kids from doTERRA for the past 8 years, but with it out of stock, we’ve replaced with a bubble gum flavoured one from NutraSea from the health food store.

Our microbiome matters—Probiotic & Microbiome PB Restore
It matters for almost all bodily functions, not just gut health. I take 1 capsule PB Restore (or PB Assist if I’m shopping in Canada) in the morning with water before any food to set my gut flora first thing. This product is a gut super-hero product. Specifics on why here.
+ Supports digestive health and gut barrier integrity + helps in micronutrient synthesis
+ May support skin health, the respiratory system, the immune system, and a healthy inflammatory response
+ Provides a unique formulation of 30 pre-, pro-, and post- biotics, and bacteriophages that help restore microbial diversity and balance for optimal microbiome health in an easy-to use, once-a-day capsule.
There are two options, with slightly different formulations and delivery methods: double-encapsulated capsules OR a sachet.
My girls love the sachets (miraculous), and Hutch and I like the capsules (1/day in AM).
Watch here for 2 minutes of customer testimonials (lots of skin, mood & poop talk).
Full product ingredients & info here. Invaluable read if microbiome is on your mind. Lastly, take a peek below at this chart from dōTERRA that feels so helpful for me to understand the differences between this product and others on the market.
