My Personal Recommendations
I've hesitated to put together a list like this previously - for one main reason - I don't make my living by promoting products I don't personally use, recommend or believe in. The products below, and the links connected with them, are based on clinical data, personal experience and client outcomes.
Part of my gut health regimen. Grass-Fed Colostrum with Lactoferrin and Beta-Glucan. Get the benefits of three powerful gut and immune health nutrients in a single product. Get 15% off your first order using code RENECARUSO at checkout.
A weakened glycocalyx and microvascular dysfunction can be the silent triggers behind fatigue, brain fog, metabolic disease, and premature aging. If your blood vessels aren’t functioning at their best, your body isn’t either.
​
I rarely give broad supplement recommendations, but in this case, it's too important to ignore. https://glycocalyx.com/renecaruso
I highly recommend ReVasca to help restore and strengthen your glycocalyx.

Regular bloodwork is mission-critical! Baseline labs turn guesswork into a plan—and help you track what’s actually working.
Get lab orders instantly for blood tests. Next day results. 100% Private & confidential. No insurance needed.
​
I’m often asked why I emphasize bloodwork so strongly—especially for women. Here’s the short answer: men’s hormonal optimization can often be straightforward; women’s biology is more complex. Pregnancy, postpartum shifts, perimenopause, and menopause create more moving parts—and bigger consequences when things fall out of sync. That’s exactly why baseline labs and regular follow-ups matter.

Your genes control how well your body carries out essential processes like detoxification, hormone balance, cardiovascular protection, and even mood regulation. Small variations in key genes (SNPs) can have a big impact on your health and how you respond to nutrients.
​
Why test?
A methylation panel helps identify variations in genes such as MTHFR, MTR, MTRR, COMT, and AHCY—all of which influence how your body processes B vitamins, clears toxins, manages inflammation, and produces important brain chemicals.
