Sharing the details on Dr. Cabral’s birthday sale and my favorite products! If you’ve been considering functional lab testing, I have something for you here, too. Check out the details below!

If you’ve been thinking about running functional labs or restocking some of your wellness staples, this is one of the best times of the year to do it.

EquiLife is celebrating Dr. Cabral’s birthday with a major sale, and it includes some of the exact tools I use personally and with clients:

March 23 – 29

40% off The Big 5 Labs + Vita-Min Tox Test

33% off select supplements

Functional lab testing can feel a little overwhelming at first, so I wanted to offer something special for ya:

If you purchase ANY lab during the sale, I’ll personally review your results with you at no cost. No coaching fee; just a chance for us to walk through everything together and create a clear, simple plan.

Testing is so powerful, but it helps to have an expert guide you through the results and figure out an action plan based on your unique deficiencies and toxicities. If you purchase any lab this week, please lmk gina@fitnessista.com and I’ll make sure the results are tracked to me so we can go through them together.

the exact EquiLife supplements and tools I recommend

When everything looks “normal”… but you still don’t feel like yourself

One of the most common things I hear from clients is that they’ve been told everything looks fine, but they still feel off. Low energy, stubborn weight, hormone symptoms, and gut issues are all signs from the body that there’s an imbalance.

This is where functional testing can make such a difference.

Instead of asking, “Are you sick or not?” it looks at how your body is actually functioning day to day. It helps us identify imbalances in areas like nutrient status, stress response, detox pathways, and gut health; often long before they show up on conventional labs.

Rather than guessing and trying random supplements, we can get super specific.

The Big 5 Labs

If you’re ready to take a comprehensive look at your health, The Big 5 is the most complete option.

It combines five functional tests to give a detailed picture of what’s happening behind the scenes. I often describe it as a roadmap; it shows us not just what’s off, but WHY.

This is the option I typically recommend for clients who are dealing with ongoing symptoms or who feel like they’ve tried everything and are still not seeing progress.

It can help uncover:

Root causes of fatigue and low energy

Hormone imbalances and cortisol patterns

Gut dysfunction, including bacteria and yeast overgrowth

Nutrient deficiencies and mitochondrial function

Food sensitivities that may be driving inflammation

At 40% off, this is one of the best opportunities to run these labs at a significantly reduced cost. Get your Big 5 labs here.

The Starter Kit: the most approachable way to begin functional lab testing

If you’re not quite ready to go all in with The Big 5, the Starter Kit is an excellent entry point.

It includes the Organic Acids Test (OAT) and Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), which together provide a surprising amount of insight. These two tests alone can help us understand how your body is producing energy, how well you’re detoxifying, and whether there are underlying imbalances contributing to your symptoms.

This is a great option if you’re in that place of knowing something isn’t quite right but wanting a more approachable first step.

It can reveal:

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies

Detox pathway efficiency

Mitochondrial (energy) function

Gut markers related to yeast and bacteria

Even with just these two tests, we’re able to create a very targeted plan. It’s at an awesome price right now, too. Check it out here.

While testing gives us the data, there are also a few foundational supplements that I consistently use and recommend because they support the body in a simple, effective way.

My go-to EquiLife supplements

Daily Nutritional Support

This is one of the easiest ways to cover your bases nutritionally, especially during busy seasons.

It’s a comprehensive shake that provides protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, greens, and digestive enzymes in one place. I often use it as a quick breakfast or an easy option on days when meals are more rushed.

It supports:

Balanced blood sugar

Sustained energy throughout the day

Nutrient intake without overcomplicating things

Digestive support through added enzymes

Get your DNS here – they have a new Strawberry flavor too that is DELICIOUS.

Full Spectrum Magnesium

Magnesium is one of the most common deficiencies I see, and it impacts so many systems in the body.

This blend is designed to support multiple functions at once, making it more effective than a single form.

It can help with:

Sleep quality and relaxation

Muscle recovery and tension

Nervous system regulation

Stress resilience

Melatonin

Melatonin can be a helpful tool when sleep is disrupted, whether from stress, travel, or changes in routine.

I tend to use it more strategically rather than as a long-term nightly habit, especially during seasons when sleep needs extra support.

It supports:

Falling asleep more easily

Circadian rhythm regulation

Deeper, more restorative sleep

Adrenal Energy

For days when energy feels low, this is a great alternative to relying on caffeine.

It’s designed to support the body’s natural energy systems and adrenal function without creating a spike and crash effect.

It can help with:

Energy production

Mental clarity and focus

Supporting adrenal function during fatigue

I loooooove this.

Adrenal Soothe

On the opposite end of the spectrum, this is what I reach for during high-stress periods.

It’s designed to calm the nervous system and support balanced cortisol levels, which can be especially helpful when you feel wired, anxious, or overstimulated.

It supports:

A calmer stress response

Nervous system regulation

Balanced cortisol levels

A greater sense of calm during busy or overwhelming seasons

I also use and love the Universal Binder and the Omega 3 support (the liquid is so nice because you don’t have to swallow an extra capsule). We also have a group detox coming up in May if you’d like to get your kit now!

Why testing changes everything

Supplements can absolutely be helpful, but reality is that if you’re taking supplements without testing, you could just be making expesive guesses.

Testing allows you to stop guessing and start working with your body in a much more intentional way. Instead of trying a little bit of everything, you can focus on exactly what will move the needle. (And usually this means you can take LESS than what you’re currently taking!) This is when you can start to see huge, meaningful changes in your energy levels, digestion, sleep, and how you feel througout the day.

My bonus this week

If you decide to run any lab during the sale, I’d love to support you in making sense of your results.

I’ll personally review everything with you and help you understand what it means, what’s out of balance, and what your next steps can look like.

There’s no additional fee for this; it’s a little something I’d love to do to support my friends and help you understand your unique imabalances and what we can do about it! If you purchase a lab, just send me a copy of your confirmation to gina@fitnessista.com and I’ll add you to my client portal so we can go through these together.

Functional testing has been one of the most impactful tools in my own health journey and in my work with clients. It’s changed my life and it’s been such an amazing gift to share it with others.

If you have questions or want help deciding which option makes the most sense for you, I’m always here to help.

Have an amazing day and I’ll see you soon!
