AFFILIATE LINKS:

Hi lovers & friends!

As lifelong health-conscious women, we get to a point where we realize we need to / want to take better care of our body’s.

For me this has not meant hitting the gym more or ‘eating better’. I already eat well 80% of the time. You may too.

Deeper care for my body has meant having practices that I can do REGULARLY myself - to heal & replenish my cells.

Many times, we can cultivate this within us for free, using intentions & practices which I go into detail with and provide guided rituals, tutorials, and workshops in my Optimal Health Membership. Sometimes, we get to have tools and products that help us on our journey to Optimal Health.

One of my 1:1 fit mama’s said last week she is so glad to not just be hitting the gym more thinking that’s the solution to her optimal health, energy, and body.

There are some of my regularly used & recommended products. Feel free to back again as I will add more products when I have more time!

Using the link provided means you get straight to the goods, and Amazon sends me a few stars as a thank you, but feel free to explore other high quality products.

If there is a particular product you are wondering about ,please feel free to ask and I would be happy to give you my opinion.

HIGH PERFORMANCE PLANNER TO TAKE DAILY ALIGNED ACTION

A journaling practice & planning my days has been imperative to organizing my thoughts, eliminating the ‘busy work,’ that took up so much of my time in my fitness business. Now I work from a place of clarity & focus of goals & priorities. Hence not wasting energy & overworking.

ICE FACE ROLLER: Let’s talk about self-care rituals! As we know, ice & cold therapy is extremely beneficial for reducing inflammation. Namely, I love icing the face for multiple reasons. It helps to shrink pores, it brings new neural feedback to the nerves in the face this means fuller expressions, less fine lines and droopy skin! Additionally, I find it brightens the skin on the face. Also, it just feels absolutely amazing and is a GREAT way to come into your body and the present moment. This roller is nice and smooth too so it feels pretty heavenly.

CORTISOL MANAGER

This is supplement that greatly supported me when I couldn’t sleep due to high stress in my business. I wish I found this 5 years sooner than I did because I used one round of it and it changed everything for me. I finished the one round and was scared to function without it, but being a certified sports nutrition advisor, I knew over usage and reliance on any supplement is detrimental so I worked on myself, my mindset, started incorporating deep breathing into my days, stopped people-pleasing and started using a journal to help me align my busy mind.

GARDENS OF LIFE GREENS POWDER:

Gardens of life anything is high-quality. Sure it costs a little more but 2 reasons it’s worth investing in: 1) From personal experience, every time I use this brand I notice various benefits like more growth of hair, skin, and nails which is such an added (and unexpected) bonus. 2) I usually recommend to do one round consistently of things like this, and any other supplement and then take a break. Key word is use it consistently until you feel like you don’t need it anymore. Greens can be ingested on their own with water or put into a shake. When I do use greens or moringa I take it first thing in the morning with good quality filtered water.

KANGEN WATER SYSTEM:

if you are actually really ready to uplevel & invest in yours and your family’s physical and mental well-being, I cannot say enough about the benefits of drinking an ionized water. Above all products, this is the fastest way to alkalize your body , reduce inflammation, and heal your cells. It absorbs into your gut as it’s ionized (split H20) so doesn’t cause bloating. It also balances internal pH levels due to being ionized. This is different than bottled water that is 'alkaline’ as bottled alkaline water is alkalized by adding more minerals (that we can or cannot absorb). This water also rinses away chlorine that’s on vegetables and fruits.

Make it stand out

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

MAGNESIUM BISGLYCINATE

Talk about a product that has helped me through some of the hardest times in my life. When I struggled heavily with Adrenal Fatigue, my sleep was very disturbed. Also, even after I healed my adrenal issues but was still very high functioning in my business, it used to take me forever to fall asleep. I’m not sure how I found out about this supplement but it saved my life. I used to take 1 cap about 30 minutes before bed which was 150mg which was enough to provide a gentle down-regulation for my nervous system and put me into a great sleep. No grogginess in the morning, just pure magic. As with anything, I usually recommend one round of a high quality product. It should be enough to down-regulate your body. Lastly, with this and any other supplement, it is not just about popping the supp and relying on it. There must be mind, body, and spirit shifts.

L-GLUTAMINE MUSCLE & GUT REPAIR

Like any supplement, I recommend cycling this one as well. Perhaps if you are in a heavier, more frequent training phase than you have been, L-glutamine helps with muscle tissue repair. If you are using it for muscle soreness and repair, take it post-workout and i find it reduces that heavy, lethargic feeling the next morning after training. If you want to use it for Gut Repair, I recommend using it first thing in the morning, just swig it back and if possible, lie down for a few minutes, and take some deep breaths to allow it to absorb.

GARDENS OF LIFE ORGANIC PLANT PROTEIN

The most high quality protein powder I have ever used, and I have used many! I do recommend having a plant-based protein powder on hand for most of my clients as it is a sure way to get some quality density protein in quickly. After all, in this season of life, the one thing we want to avoid is missing meals. See my blog, Top 3

GARDENS OF LIFE PROBIOTICS

I don’t necessarily think probiotics are the way to heal your gut. In fact, I believe they are 10% of the equation. I wouldn’t rely on probiotics if you want to heal your gut however, they can support the digestion process say after a big, heavy, late meal containing meats. This is personally the only time I use them now, and once I run out I don’t rush to order more. I did recently get a bout of Urinary Tract Infections which was interesting so I did order a round of these specific ones just to support the microbiome.

LOOSE LEAF BLACK TEA

Simply because I love tea, and opt for loose leaf because unfortunately teabags themselves are made with bleached paper, plastic, or nylon.

DANDELION TEA

Another favourite product that has supported me GREATLY during times of liver stagnation and liver health issues. I actually had high cholesterol at one point in my 20’s even though I was active and ate well. I tried milk thistle and a bunch of other things however dandelion felt extremely cleansing. Keep in mind, tea is medicine so I don’t recommend overdoing it. If you are at the peak of your struggle with liver issues, stagnation, etc, I recommend using it 3-4 times a week for abut 2 weeks. See how you feel and then use when intuitively needed. It won’t do harm but it’s just nice to know that it is a pretty potent healing herb. I use this now on occasion after an overly fatty meal, or a happy hour that turns into a bit of a bar hop!
