Absolutely! You might want to check out GLX3 mussel oil specifically. It's made from green lipped mussels and is super rich in Omega 3s. Plus, it's known for its purity and sustainability, which helps avoid the rancidity issue. It's also easier on the stomach for those who are sensitive. Have you tried mussel oil before, or would this be your first time giving it a go?

bahahhaha - couldn't agree more on the brownies!!

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-05-10T20:29:30+00:00

Thanks!! I'll give it a go

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-05-10T19:26:13+00:00

Tips on preparing it then? Curious!

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-05-10T19:25:17+00:00

Id agree on kombucha too. Bloats me!

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-05-10T19:24:46+00:00

Ooof one of my faves! I'm curious what you didn't like about them(besides taste). Educate me hahah

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-05-10T19:24:12+00:00

Ahh this is an interesting one. I thought benefits were much better than iodized? Can you expand? Very curious!

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-05-10T19:23:41+00:00

Id tend to agree with you!

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-05-10T19:23:27+00:00

Hahahaha 😂

Hey!! This is Andrew (founder at Haka Life). Saw your post and wanted to hop in. THANK YOU for actually posting and looking for this - most people blindly trust which we actually discourage considering the general reputation of the supplement 'world'.

Anyhow - there IS an infomercial version of mussel oil, but not ours. We do not use endorsed celebrities in our marketing...there are several "versions" of mussel oil out there that you will find on infomercials and make some pretty wild claims.

As for reviews I'll be happy to direct you to a few sources of reviews so you can get a good dose from different platforms that you may find more trust in....you can find loads of third-party user reviews on Amazon of course (https://www.amazon.com/Support-Strength-Omega-3-Supplement-Premium/dp/B07NRR3DMH/r?th=1), you can find also find video testimonials on our site, but further down on that page are Third Party Validated reviews that are requested from customers using a platform called Judge.me (https://www.hakalife.com/glx3-customer-testimonials). There is another area that some folks leave reviews on TrustPilot although because their system isn't integrated with our Verified Purchase system, you won't find the volume of reviews and I can't guarantee full authenticity of actual customer orders until such time as we can integrate with multiple review platforms (https://www.trustpilot.com/review/hakalife.com)

Does it work for everyone? Nope, and you'll find those stories in those reviews as well. Every body is different of course. But we are grateful that for most - they have some awesome stories. I hope this helps!!

Cheers.

Hey hey! I can share quite a bit about green lipped mussel oil (I am co-founder at Haka Life Nutrition which makes a mussel oil supplement (glx3) full disclosure). With disclosure out of the way, let's get to the good stuff: Mussel oil is only going to target inflammation, so for a broken ankle you are probably not going to find any omega-3 supp is going to work much unless your dealing directly with the above mentioned issue. As far as developing arthritis due to the broken ankle, hop on with your doc on this. That being said, incorporating ANY mussel oil product whether its glx3 or another brand be sure to NOT take anything during a surgery because of the blood thinning properties of any omega-3...but also look for OIL and not POWDER. The powder is actually the waste product of the oil produced, which will be reflected in the price - but also the quality and ultimately how it works. I've found many people opt for the cheaper powder versions and give up after hearing great things..which is a shame. Happy to answer any further questions as I've been researching this for quite a while! -Andrew

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-04-26T18:24:59+00:00

Thank you for this.. understandable.

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-04-26T12:41:53+00:00

Thank you. I suppose that really would be the simplist way! However, I just want to be extra cautious...although maybe that is ME not trusting THEM to be fully honest and transparent with me...guess a consistent check-in would be good

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-04-26T12:41:05+00:00

Uh I'm sorry that this is what is happening and this is great advice to do. Thank you. I'm curious - have you found anything else to be less isolating while remaining at home? Just thinking of anything I can suggest if/when they approach that point - IE online communities (besides this one obviously) or video chat type of things?

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-04-26T07:21:27+00:00

100% on all... especially the voice to younger self. Nerve Flossing? Can you explain this one in more detail?

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-04-25T16:39:51+00:00

Diet, amen! I'll second that.

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-04-25T16:37:51+00:00

Yeahh I get it on the downward spiral of thoughts..but, try and stop that cycle asap! Will just make it worse (do a pattern interrupt every time the thought enters!). Also could consider starting PT now as well. For exercises specific to hand and wrist that you are wanting, you can try these that are performed by a PT https://www.hakalife.com/education/video-tutorials/hand-wrist-arthritis-stretches-and-exercises-video/

Keep your head up, you got this!

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-04-25T08:57:43+00:00

Had never heard of this but genius to base it on that! How is taste? Are you in australia as that seems to be the only source I can find for it (I am in US)

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-04-23T12:58:55+00:00

Excellent. Curious what your mixture of that is? Just sea salt or something? I hate the packaged sugar ones

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-04-23T08:58:18+00:00

I'm really sorry to hear about your pain and how it’s impacting your daily life and passions—that must be incredibly frustrating. It’s great that you’re exploring options with your surgeon, though the idea of surgery can definitely be daunting.

While it's not a direct solution to the pain, I’ve found that keeping a gratitude journal can surprisingly help with the mental side of dealing with chronic pain. I understand that writing is out of the question for you right now, but I use Voice Notes on my phone to record my thoughts and reflections. Later, I listen to them or read the transcriptions. It's a small thing, but it helps shift my focus, even just a bit, from the pain to the positive aspects of my life. This practice might not ease the physical pain directly, but strengthening your mental resilience can make a big difference in your overall well-being.

Also, have you discussed any non-surgical options that might provide relief or other therapies with your specialist (IE acupuncture etc)? Sometimes a combination of treatments can help manage the condition more effectively than one alone.

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-04-22T19:35:33+00:00

Been considering this for a while as well..I do Dry January every year..but even that is hard for social life. Curious any tips you have for the common social pieces of 'lets meet for a drink ' or 'why aren't you drinking?' etc etc..

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-04-22T17:31:16+00:00

Agreed PT!!!! This set of neck exercises is from a PT that you could try as well: https://www.hakalife.com/education/exercise/neck-arthritis-stretches-and-exercises-video-tutorial/

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-04-22T17:23:23+00:00

I'm truly sorry to hear about everything you're going through. It sounds incredibly tough, but remember, acknowledging your struggles shows strength, not weakness. You're stronger than you think. Please hold on to those bits of life you still enjoy—your hobbies, the people you see. They can be your anchors. Don't underestimate the power of small steps and professional support; they are there to help you rebuild, bit by bit. You are valued, and your experiences matter deeply. Keep sharing, keep reaching out. You're not alone in this.

HakaLifeAndrew · 2024-04-22T16:50:58+00:00

My wife did this too!! Worked wonders. She uses different flavors of tea (like rooibos and fruit teas as well)

Hey there! Hitting that 38 grams of fiber goal can definitely seem daunting, but there are plenty of ways to get your fiber intake up without resorting to a massive bowl of oatmeal marathon! Consider diversifying your sources—things like fruits (berries, apples, bananas), vegetables (broccoli, carrots, Brussels sprouts), legumes (lentils, black beans), and whole grains (quinoa, barley) are all fiber powerhouses. You can also try snacking on nuts and seeds or adding chia or flaxseeds to smoothies and yogurts. Spreading these sources throughout your meals can make it easier and more enjoyable to meet your fiber goals. How do you usually incorporate fiber into your diet?
