I'm sharing some of my favorite gift ideas for fitness and wellness enthusiasts, biohackers, and *hair tie* lovers (or even yourself!) this holiday season.
Hello friends! How are you doing? I hope you're having a great week so far. It's a short week that ends with shopping and cake – we got that!
There was a lot going on here. Monday night was Liv's confirmation, so we celebrated afterwards with dinner and crazy milkshakes. The pilot was away on a trip, but I'm glad he'll be here for Thanksgiving. What have you planned? We go to my uncle's as usual and then to Trevor and Danielle's for a while.
For today's post, I wanted to share a roundup of my favorite wellness, fitness, and biohacking gifts! This is a perfect gift for your *hair tie* friends…or even yourself. Let's face it; The best sales of the year take place this weekend. So it's the perfect time to stock up on wellness essentials, especially if you have health-related goals as you start the new year.
It's also worth mentioning here that many of the things on this list are nice/fun, but not essential. Essential health tools like sunshine, stress management, connection, exercise and healthy eating are free.
If you have a favorite wellness purchase of the year, feel free to link it in the comments below!

Holiday Gift Guide for Wellness, Fitness and Biohacking
House and kitchen:
Air doctor. Clean air makes a big difference, especially this time of year when allergies and colds are common.
Non-toxic pots and pans. We love Caraway and OurPlace. Every year on Black Friday I usually treat myself to a new pot or pan from OurPlace. Their air fryer is so cute too!
Water filter. Clearly Filtered is my favorite, and I also love our AquaTru undersink filter.
Canopy Shower Filter We immediately noticed a difference in our skin and hair. The water feels softer and no longer has the smell of chlorine
Hatch night light. It's so peaceful to wake up to soft lighting and chirping birds instead of the blaring iPhone alarm clock.
Industry Basics. I switched to Branch Basics for almost everything. I also LOVE their dishwasher pads. Many “natural” dishwashing detergents have a plastic coating and leave small streaks and residue on the dishes. Branch Basics gets them sparkling clean.
Thrive Market or ButcherBox. A box of both would be great. We source almost all of our meat from ButcherBox because they have wild caught and organic meats. Use this link to get a free gift! We order most of our snacks and pantry items from Thrive Market. With this link you save 40%.
Mold-free coffee! The sad news is that coffee is a heavily sprayed crop and therefore many conventional options contain pesticides, herbicides and mold. This one has been lab tested for purity and remineralization and tastes DELICIOUS. I only drink decaf coffee, and most decaf coffee is gross. This one is amazing.
A great weighted blanket. This would be an AMAZING gift. I sleep with this every night. It has EMF protection, is the perfect weight, and the cover is super silky and luxurious.
Healthy everyday habits:
That red light cap! I like to use it a few times a week and feel like it helps my hair stay thick and healthy. Use FITNESSISTA15.
PEMF Go Mat. I use it every day for breathing exercises and meditation or when I need a little recharge while working at the computer. Use FITNESSISTA15.
Humidifier with canopy. I love the portable device for on-the-go use and notice that my skin and eyes feel better when I use it.
walking pad. This is the only way I can get 10,000 steps in most days! This one costs less than $100 with Black Friday deals.
Rebounders. This is a great way to support blood circulation and the lymphatic system and also improve concentration during a long work day. I take a 5 minute break and bounce to some music. This is on offer for BCM.
Vibration plate. I don't think this is a must, but they feel great.
Tongue scraper. A perfect stocking filler!
Red light face mask. I use it every morning when I'm doing chores or multitasking. It gives my skin an amazing glow and I have noticed a huge difference in the texture of my skin.
Portable red light panel (wait until Friday!). I use it every day and for so many reasons. For energy, focus, mood, inflammation, skin, pain, muscle soreness, fever and everything else.
My favorite non-toxic makeup and skincare. I'm obsessed with the Olive Rose collection (and so is Liv!)
Blue light blocking glasses. These are special because I was able to get them in my Rx!
OneSkin! They use their own peptide, OS-01, which blocks aging cells – they can accelerate the aging process. I love their tinted moisturizer and body lotion.
Organifi! They make so many of my favorite products including Hydrogen Water Tablets, Green Juice, Red Juice, Harmony and Pure. Check it out here!
Detoxification and nutritional supplements:
The famous sauna blanket! This was a Black Friday gift to myself years ago and I still use it at least once a week to relieve stress, sweat a lot, glow skin, and get great sleep. Use FITNESSISTA15.
Castor oil pack. This is the best!
My favorite quarterly detox! I always look forward to it and can't wait for our community detox in January.
A parasite cure 🙂 My favorite is here.
Peptides! I'll do an updated post, but I added these to my routine and they were incredible. (Note: I don't recommend any specific peptides, but this is where I buy mine. You can decide what you want to do based on your goals, and a doctor will prescribe them for you based on an intake form and medical history.)
Fitness:
Sculpt Society Membership! I LOVE these workouts so much. This link gives you free use of the app for one month.
Oura ring. I treated myself to a new one with the Amex credit and am thrilled with all the new data! It's so cool that I can also sync it with a Stelo glucose meter.
EMF blocking bags. I use this at the gym and on walks so I can use my wired headphones, but it protects my body from my phone.
Wired headphones 🙂
Barefoot sneakers. These are the best and there are so many great styles for the gym, for life and for hiking.
For you:
The most incredible wellness gift you can give yourself this season is becoming certified as an Integrative Health Practitioner. It is no exaggeration to say that this certification has absolutely changed my life, my business, and our family's health. I have learned so much through my IHP certifications (I have Level 1, Level 2 and am in the middle of High Performance Health and Level 3) and have been able to share this knowledge with my family and clients.
I was able to heal myself through functional lab tests, protocols, and lifestyle changes (my lupus markers used to be positive, now they are negative). Dr. Cabral is an incredible teacher and the IHP community is friendly, welcoming and supportive. We would be happy if you were there!!!
They are having a HUGE Black Friday sale… a little birdie told me that starting this Friday there will be $1,500 off with code BF1500. So bookmark this page and be ready for Friday!
I probably won't be back until Friday Faves, but I wish you a happy Thanksgiving full of family, great food, and fond memories. When I go through my gratitude list every morning, you are all on my list. I'm so grateful for all of you and this fun little space on the internet.
