\n\u201cI love every aspect of nutrient therapies and also hormonal health. They are usually intertwined and I believe we all need some level of endocrine support throughout our lives, sometimes more than others in times of stress.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n– Dr. Shannon<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What made you decide to start B12 LOVE?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have always wanted to make nutrients accessible to everyone and help people find their path to wellness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you love most about working at B12 LOVE?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI LOVE <\/em>hearing our clients’ stories and how much of an impact we can have on people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are your hobbies outside of work?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSleep! It\u2019s something I never<\/em> get with four young children. OK, I am kind of kidding but not really. I also LOVE <\/em>sunshine, gardening, the ocean and running.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How have B12 LOVE services and products improved your hobbies outside of work?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have started running again and doing yoga for stress relief. The injections and IVs are so important for recovery and inflammation – I feel both help me to prevent injury, something I never used to think about when I was younger and a competitive athlete.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is your go-to B12 LOVE service?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy favorite service is a Rock Your World IV with NAD+ as an add-on. I feel so good afterwards and my stamina is always restored!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are your top 3 favorite products at B12 LOVE and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI take my favorite supplements daily, which<\/strong> are the foundation of my wellness routine<\/strong>. My current favorite is Femmenessence Pro<\/em>, a maca root supplement. It\u2019s my favorite overall endocrine support product. It helps me balance my hormones,<\/strong> and I LOVE the energy it gives me\u2026 I have used it for years in my private practice for all hormone support and fertility types. I LOVE<\/em> how it affects the adrenals and many body systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are three different Femmenessence products (Femmenessence Pro Harmony<\/a>, Femmenessence Pro Peri-Menopause<\/a>, and Femmenessence Pro Post-Menopause), depending on your stage of life. I highly recommend speaking to a B12 LOVE Naturopathic Doctor<\/a> to help determine the best Femmenessence product for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My second foundational nutrient is Nordic Naturals Pro Omega Fish Oil<\/a><\/em>. It is a high dose at 2,000mg for two capsules. It can help with all inflammation<\/strong> and brain health <\/strong>and is vital for youthful skin<\/strong>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nMy third favorite nutrient\/supplement is Vitamin D. I like injections<\/a> at least once a month and an oral dose of at least 5,000 IU. It is excellent for supporting our immune system<\/strong> and mood<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you could advise someone who has never been to B12 LOVE but is interested in trying out some of our services, what would you tell them?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have something for everyone! If you have any of the following, we might be able to be a support: low energy, difficulty sleeping, immune issues, difficulty losing weight, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, and inflammation. We can also customize a support for you. We have Naturopathic Doctors and nurses to answer all your questions and provide an efficient service in about 10 minutes. Come in and Nourish Your Life!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell us a fun fact about yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI used my own fertility protocol to conceive and birth my son at 44 years old.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
