Thanksgiving Survival Guide – Digestion & Energy Supplements in Issaquah
Ah, Thanksgiving. The holiday where America collectively decides that moderation is for cowards, and that our stomachs are bottomless pits that absolutely must accommodate a 12-pound turkey, six kinds of pie, and whatever your aunt brought that’s mysteriously labeled “salad” but has no actual vegetables in it.
Let’s be real, Issaquah. Thanksgiving is a beautiful time of year, filled with family, gratitude, and a buffet of digestive disasters just waiting to happen. And while you could spend the long weekend in stretchy pants on the couch making promises to “be healthier next week,” you could also, you know, get ahead of the game.
That’s where Everything You comes in—Issaquah’s go-to supplement store for digestion, energy, and not feeling like a bloated gravy balloon by 3 PM on Thursday. Whether you’re hosting the feast or just trying to survive it, we’ve got what you need to support your gut, boost your energy, and emerge from the holiday weekend with your dignity (and digestion) intact.
Welcome to the Great Turkey Coma of 2025
Thanksgiving is the one day a year where you eat dinner at 2 p.m. for no reason, then proceed to lie motionless for five hours wondering what day it is. You don’t feel great, but you’re also not totally sure if you’re dying or just suffering from a second helping of stuffing-induced existential crisis.
Here’s why you crash:
Too many carbs at once – Yeah, it’s not “carb loading” if you’re not running a marathon.
Tryptophan isn’t even the real villain – Stop blaming the turkey. It’s the sugar, the fat, the wine, the existential dread.
Your digestive system is overwhelmed – You gave it three days of work in one meal.
This is where actual science and supplement support can save your life. Or at least your post-meal social skills.
Digestive Enzymes – The Real MVPs of Thanksgiving
If there was ever a day to support your digestive system like it’s training for the Olympics, Thanksgiving is it.
Digestive enzymes help your body break down all the heavy hitters: protein, fat, carbs, and dairy. You know, basically everything on your plate. Without enough enzymes, you’re just storing that food like a squirrel hoarding nuts for winter—but you feel like a bloated, tired raccoon who regrets everything.
What to Look For:
Full-spectrum enzyme blends that handle multiple food groups
Gentle formulas that don’t cause cramping or send you running to the bathroom mid-gravy
Bonus: Lipase and Protease for breaking down those creamy casseroles and dark meat decisions
At Everything You, we carry clean, powerful digestive enzyme supplements that actually work when you need them (like… right after your third slice of sweet potato pie).
Probiotics – Because Gut Health Doesn’t Take Holidays Off
Here’s a fun little Thanksgiving fact: when your gut is out of balance, everything feels worse. Your mood, your energy, your ability to pretend you like cranberry sauce—all of it goes downhill.
Probiotics help:
Maintain balance in your digestive tract
Prevent bloating and gas (no more secretly unbuttoning your pants under the table)
Support immune function (because someone always shows up sick)
We carry:
High-quality probiotic capsules
Shelf-stable options for travel
Kid-friendly formulas if your little ones are also planning on eating five pounds of mashed potatoes
Plus, if your Thanksgiving includes travel, airport food, or sleeping in your childhood bed like a crumpled pretzel, probiotics help you stay regular, and yes, we’re talking about that kind of regular.
Apple Cider Vinegar – The Old School Reset Button
You know what’s old? Apple cider vinegar.
You know what works? Apple cider vinegar.
You know what shouldn’t happen? Drinking it straight like a dare.
That’s why we offer capsules, powders, and diluted ACV drinks that actually taste good and don’t feel like you're gargling acid rain.
What it does:
Supports stomach acid for better digestion
Helps with blood sugar regulation (key during pie season)
Acts like a bouncer at the door of your digestive system—keeping things moving smoothly
If you’re the person who goes from “I’m just having one plate” to “Why did I eat so much bread?”—this is for you.
B-Vitamins – For When You’re Expected to Function After a Feast
Let’s talk about the Thanksgiving Day Slump™.
It’s 4:30 PM. The food has hit. You’re 80% pie. And somehow, your family expects you to socialize, clean up, or worse, go on a walk.
This is where B-complex vitamins are clutch.
What B-Vitamins Do:
Help your body convert food into actual usable energy
Support nervous system function (for surviving family dynamics)
Reduce fatigue so you don’t nap through the holiday movie marathon
Everything You stocks bioavailable B-complex blends that don’t make you feel wired, just human again.
Magnesium – Chill Vibes Only
Thanksgiving can be… a lot. Your body is tense, your digestion is slow, and your aunt keeps asking why you’re still single.
Magnesium isn’t just for muscle cramps—it helps with:
Digestion and regularity (you know what I mean)
Stress and mood regulation
Better sleep (post-feast naps count)
We carry magnesium glycinate for calm, smooth vibes and magnesium citrate if your gut needs a little encouragement. Either way, you’ll thank us.
Adaptogens – For the Emotional Rollercoaster of Holiday Gatherings
Family, food, politics, football—Thanksgiving has it all.
If your nervous system needs a hug, look no further than adaptogens like:
Ashwagandha – for when you can’t handle one more question about your career
Rhodiola – for focus and stamina (because board games can get weird)
Holy Basil – for mood support and emotional balance (even when the turkey is dry)
Available in capsules, teas, or stress blends that don’t taste like bark. We promise.
Everything You – Issaquah’s Thanksgiving Survival Station
