Here’s a roundup of my favorite wellness products of 2024! If you want to use FSA/HSA credits before they expire, I have included these little asterisks *** for companies that accept FSA/HSA or may be able to be reimbursed with a medical emergency letter. Of course, find out more from your doctor and your health insurance company!
Hello friends! How are you doing? How was the weekend? I hope you had a great evening. Ours was understated and beautiful. We went out to dinner with friends, I taught two barre classes, and we did a little baking for the holidays.
For today’s post, I wanted to share a roundup of my favorite wellness products of 2024! These are perfect as we wind down December, start setting health and New Year’s goals, and also use up any FSA or HSA credits before they expire. I’d love to hear about your favorite health/wellness products that you love too!
Just a heads up, I don’t use an FSA or HSA, but I know many of you do. So if you have any helpful tips, please share them in the comments.
(Note: I’ve also tried to include newer products for this year, but also feature some tried-and-true favorites that I still use. Since I love all of these products so much, I’m an affiliate for many of these links. I earn one little kickback and you support our family and this little blog. Thank you to everyone who purchases through my links!)
My favorite wellness products of 2024
***Nutrisense CGM
This is a relatively new discovery – I’ve been using it on and off for about two years – and I think it’s one of the most valuable things you can do for your metabolic health. SO many of us are insulin resistant and by wearing a CGM you can get instant data on how your workouts, your sleep, your diet (especially sugar and alcohol), your exercise, your stress and your habits affect your blood sugar levels. I like to wear one every few months just to keep myself informed, and I try to monitor my blood sugar as my levels are often a little higher than I would like.
They also offer calls from nutritionists, which are often covered by insurance! I’ve booked one and can’t wait to try it out. Check out the CGM plans here and use the code GINA50. It’s the perfect time to order now and get started after the holidays.
Clearly filtered pitcher
This pitcher Filters out over 360 pollutants and is super easy to use. I just fill it with water from the fridge and put it next to my Somavedic. I like these filters because they are inexpensive (around $100) and you just have to replace the filter every three months. We have one too AquaTru reverse osmosis filter for under the sink.
Lifewave plasters
This is a brand new favorite and the pilot and I are both obsessed. I have noticed a huge difference in my energy, productivity, focus and libido lol. We use the X39. The pilot has much more energy! From what I’ve heard, the results get better over time. A girl in my barre class yesterday said she had been using it for over a year and had tremendous hair growth – her hair was thick and beautiful. You can read more about my experiences here!
Dr. Cabral Detox
This detox is a game changer and I love completing it every quarter. Our bodies are incredibly good at “taking out the trash,” but the reality is that they are not designed to be exposed to so many toxins on a regular basis. Toxins are a stressor on the body and I love this detox to give my liver extra support and a nutritional boost. You can read more about my experiences here – I always sleep well and notice that the inflammation on my face is subsiding – and Order your detox set here. We start as a community on January 13th! (If this is your first time attending, enter FITNESSISTA10 at checkout.)
***Lumens
lumens is a pretty amazing tool for assessing your body’s metabolic flexibility and carbohydrate and fat burning efficiency. You breathe into the lumen and the CO2 level in our breath helps lumen determine our respiratory exchange ratio (RER). This is rated on a scale of 1 to 5 (from 1 to 5; 1 being mostly fat and 5 being mostly carbs) and this number is based on whether we are burning mostly carbs or fat at that moment. Lumen suggests a macro breakdown for the day depending on your RER, your workout for the day (you can enter each day’s workout into the app), your sleep, and the previous day’s data. You can read more about my experiences here.
lumens’s technology has improved dramatically over the last year, and you can now add photos of your meals, get customized meal suggestions to fit your macros, and watch tip videos and tutorials through the app. You can watch it here and use code FITNESSISTA. *I did a bit of googling and it looks like you can apply for HSA reimbursement if you have a certificate of medical necessity.
***Oura Ring
I hopped on the Oura train years ago and immediately fell in love with the data and sleep tracker. I’ve taken a break for the last year and a half while I recovered, but I wanted to bring it back. Oura has gotten SO much smarter and more intuitive in the last year, especially now that it can sync with Natural Cycles.
walking pad
I use my walking pad every day. I ordered one of the cheaper ones from Amazon and was impressed with the quality. It does what it needs to do! It’s a great way to keep up with conference calls and studying IHP materials.
Vivarays
I have tried SO many blue light blockers and These are by far the best when it comes to design and quality. I was able to learn from the founder of RHS and try on some of these, and I have some 3-in-1 prescription glasses in the works! I can’t wait to wear them while sitting at the computer. You can check it out and learn more here. My code is FITNESSISTA for 10% off.
****Air doctor
Aviation doctors have changed our lives and we now have one in almost every room of the house. They filter so many nasty particles out of the air – when you open the filter to change it, it’s breathtaking to see how much of it floats through the air. You can find my full review here.
Owala water bottle
I have officially retired my Stanley and have been I LOVE the Owawla. There is an optional internal straw; You can use it or just drink from the bottle. They are made of stainless steel, are easy to pour and are great for travel as they don’t leak.
***Shower head with canopy filter
If you’re filtering your drinking water, showing and bathing in water is a great next step. The canopy Removes contaminants from water including metals, microbes, bacteria and fungi, leaving your hair and skin feeling super smooth and soft. Our water here in Tucson is terrible and before I could smell the chlorine in our shower. It no longer smells like chemicals or chlorine. The girls immediately noticed a difference! The shower heads And great humidifiers are eligible for both FSA and HSA.
***HigherDOSE sauna blanket, PEMF Go mat and red light mask
I will praise HigherDOSE forever and ever because I use at least one every day. I use the Go Mat daily for meditation and Use the sauna blanket 2-3 times a week and it feels incredible. I sleep so well and it makes my skin glow. I’m a big fan of it too Red light face mask to improve mood and possibly support collagen production. Use FITNESSISTA20 for a 20% discount HigherDOSE favorites.
Therasage weighted blanket
This weighted blanket has a silky-soft cover and added EMF protection. Standard weighted blankets use harmful beads, but this one uses healing natural amethyst, tourmaline, jade, rose quartz and shungite gemstones wrapped in the 600-thread count bamboo blanket and comforter. It feels like a DREAM. Use the code FITNESSISTA here.
Hatch alarm
If you’re tired of waking up to the loud alarm clock, the hatch wakes you peacefully, first with light and then with soothing nature sounds. In relaxation mode, it can play a variety of nature sounds and instrumental music as the lights change, dim, and then turn off. If you wake up stressed or find it difficult to calm down at night, This can be an amazing tool.
OneSkin
This skincare contains a powerful peptide designed to combat aging cells (also known as zombie cells), which can increase inflammation and the signs of aging. I especially love their lotion – I use it every day – and their tinted moisturizer, which I mix with Tarte BB Primer and use every morning. The code is FITNESSISTA15 for 15% off!
