Wellness
Nurse’s Picks
Skin is built from the inside as much as the outside. These are the supplements Karilee Slubowski, LPN actually recommends in the treatment room — grouped by what people come in asking about, with an explanation of why each one matters.
They’re available through Fullscript, a professional supplement dispensary that only licensed health practitioners can open an account with.
Chosen by a nurse
Selected by Karilee Slubowski, LPN, based on what she sees working with real clients — not on what pays the best margin.

Education first
Every category explains what it's for and who it suits, so you can make an informed decision instead of guessing.

Curated collections
Each collection is a short, deliberate list — the things worth taking, not everything that exists.
Skin Health
Support for skin treated from the inside as well as the outside.
Topicals only reach so far. Skin is built from what the body has available to build it with — protein, essential fats, zinc, vitamin C for collagen cross-linking. These are the products Karilee reaches for when someone's skin is improving in the treatment room but stalling between visits.
View recommendationsHealthy Aging
The foundations that matter more each decade.
Aging well is mostly unglamorous: maintaining muscle, protecting bone, keeping inflammation low and staying on top of the nutrients that get harder to absorb over time. This collection is the everyday base, not a miracle shelf.
View recommendationsHair & Nails
For brittle nails, thinning hair, and slow nail growth.
Nails are a slow-motion record of the last six months of your health — which is why Karilee sees nail changes long before most people connect them to anything else. Where a nail problem is nutritional rather than fungal, this is where to start.
View recommendationsWomen's Wellness
Hormonal transitions, energy, iron and bone health.
Perimenopause and menopause change skin, hair, sleep and body composition all at once, and most women are told to simply put up with it. These are the products Karilee most often discusses with clients navigating that shift.
View recommendationsGut Health
Digestion, absorption, and the gut–skin connection.
You only benefit from what you actually absorb, and a struggling gut shows up on the face often enough that it's worth ruling in or out. Particularly relevant for stubborn inflammatory skin that isn't responding to topical work alone.
View recommendationsFoot Health
Circulation, nerve comfort and nail strength — the foot-care shelf.
This is the collection that grows directly out of the foot-care side of the clinic: support for circulation and nerve comfort, and the nutrients nails need to grow back properly after fungal treatment or trauma. Especially relevant if you're diabetic — bring this up with Karilee and your physician together.
View recommendationsAfter your treatment
Recovery protocols
What to take in the weeks after a treatment, while your skin is doing the actual work.
Recovery After HIFU
Support collagen remodelling in the months after treatment.
HIFU works by triggering your own collagen response over the following three to six months — so what you give your body during that window genuinely matters. This short protocol covers the building blocks that remodelling depends on.
View recommendationsRecovery After Microneedling
Calm the inflammatory phase and support repair.
The days after microneedling or Morpheus8 are a controlled healing response. The aim here is to support repair and keep inflammation proportionate — not to suppress the very reaction the treatment is designed to create.

Common questions
- What is Nurse's Picks?
- It's a set of supplement recommendations curated by Karilee Slubowski, LPN at Salmon Arm Aesthetics, organised by what people actually come in asking about — skin, aging, hair and nails, women's wellness, gut health and foot health. Orders are placed through a professional dispensary, not through this website.
- Why can't I just buy these at a regular store?
- Fullscript is a practitioner-only dispensary — an account requires a licensed health professional. That means the products are professional-grade, stored and shipped under proper conditions, and matched to you by a nurse rather than picked off a shelf.
- Do I have to be a client to order?
- No. Anyone can browse and order. But the recommendations are far more useful after a conversation, because the right supplement depends on what you're actually dealing with, what you already take, and any medication interactions.
- Is this medical advice?
- No. These are general wellness recommendations, not a diagnosis or a treatment plan, and supplements are not a substitute for medical care. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking prescription medication, or managing a health condition such as diabetes, speak with your physician or pharmacist before starting anything new.

Orders are placed and fulfilled by Fullscript, not by Salmon Arm Aesthetics. As the practitioner behind the dispensary, Karilee may receive a portion of the sale.
