Supplemental Recommendations that were done for a client looking to increase energy on a daily basis and to get rid of a last little bit of adipose tissue (BODY FAT):
GABA, DMAE----these things work on cognitive function and promote a great mood and well-being, they also work to improve neurotransmission. I, and others, use these as a remedy for ADD or ADHD, instead of Adderrall, Ritalin, etc.---these are great and are definitely are worth a shot, I take them every day of my life and love them and what they do for me on a daily basis.
Fish Oils--work in conjunction with GABA and DMAE. Full of rich Omega 3's and 6's. These have incredible benefits for the body in a lot of different capacities. If you eat a lot of fish you do not need to take this in supplement form.
Multivitamin would also be great to keep you balanced and fueled properly if you do not already take one.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)--incredible antioxidant, one of the best, along with the next few that I list. ALA helps our livers to assimilate and breakdown proteins, carbohydrates, and fats more efficiently.
Pycnogenol---a French Maritime Pine Tree Bark with antioxidant capacities outdoing green tea by 50%
Melatonin--a hormone secreted by the pineal gland that regulates our light/dark cycles and circadian rhythm. For more restful sleep if you have broken sleep right now, this is an incredible antioxidant. You can also just take it when you know you have some time to rest on the weekends and know you need more recovery.
CLA--good fats that take the place of your bad fats in the body. Incredible non-stimulant fat burner that is great for you heart and cardiovascular system. CLA decreases existing adipose tissue and inhibits any new fat storage.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine--an amino acid that acts as a powerful fat-burning catalyst
Opti-Pro M--if you do not take this already, this will help you to rebuild, repair, and regenerate your muscle tissue and prevent breakdown of muscle tissue and storing of fat. Has several great things in it: soy/whey protein, electrolytes, fiber, digestive enzymes, vitamins and minerals, amino acids, good fats, flaxseed meal, and good carbs from maltodextrin and the soy content.
Metabolic Testing--we can test your resting metabolic rate to determine exactly how many calories you burn per day at rest, and adjust your diet and exercise according to you specific weight loss goals and aspirations. We can also do an EMR (exercise metabolic rate) on you to determine aerobic base, lactate threshold, and VO2max. Then, we can design certain workouts and zones for you to stay in while you are doing your cardio workouts without us to be more specific for your goals. We can also get you a polar watch to allow you to track your calories and your heart rate and zones while training.
Rest--make sure you are getting at least one full day of complete physical rest per week. On this day, you can stretch and breathe, but nothing too much. Your body needs this time to regenerate and if you do not give it that rest time, your body will store more adipose tissue because you are at a caloric deficit.
Alcohol--one glass of wine or a beer per day is ok, but realize that anything over this will cause adipose tissue storage and will not allow you to recover and feel energized the way that you would like to.

Tea--has great antioxidant capacities from the phenols and polyphenols in them. White tea has the most with less caffeine, green is the 2nd best with a little more caffeine, and black is in the same family but has more caffeine. There are also herbal teas with no caffeine and antioxidant capacities as well: Rooibos (Red Tea), Peppermint, Lavender, Blue Eyes, etc.
Just let me know if you need any of these things and I will be glad to get them for you!
