Prioritizing our health and well-being has become more crucial than ever. Fortunately, there is a myriad of health and wellness products available that can help us achieve and maintain a healthier lifestyle. I am passionate about researching health and wellness trends and ancient remedies to try for optimal health. We all know how important our health is but sometimes we let life get in the way of us taking care of ourselves. Not anymore! From fitness tools to relaxation aids, here’s a curated list of our health and wellness must-haves to elevate your mind, body and spirit.

Pique triple screens the teas for heavy metals, pesticides and toxic mold and come in many varieties to help with hydration, immunity, anti-aging, digestion and more – big fan!
Elite Blue Blockers
These glasses are a must especially in the winter when it gets dark by 4pm. They will protect your light sensitive eyes from junk light so that your body will naturally wind down at night and produce a healthy amount of melatonin to be ready for a restful and restorative sleep.
Bed Cooling & Heating System (FAV!)
This miracle system literally changed my life. Sleep is essential to have a healthy mind and body. It is proven that your body drops in temperature and to get the best sleep, the perfect sleep temperature should be 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18.3 degrees Celsius). Sleep before my Bedjet was terrible, I would wake up in the middle of the night tossing and turning because I was hot, but not anymore! This is the best investment you can make if you struggle with being too hot OR too cold when you sleep. Now that it is winter time, I turn on the heat mode for about 15 minutes (you can program a timer) before getting into bed and my feet are perfectly toasty in the freezing winter months. While in the hottest of summer months, my sleep is perfect with the cool setting. Truly, this is a sleep game-changer and has upgraded my sleep. Check out more of our favorite sleep essentials here.

The mitochondria of our cells (power generators) soak it up and make more energy. Everyone needs some red light therapy.

This is a great tool for detecting high levels of radiation. A great travel companion since some beds in hotels could be near circuit breakers, giving off high levels that you do not want to be sleeping next to for 8 hours. We could all use less radiation since our world is filled with technology overload.

I’m also obsessed with their Infrared Sauna Blanket, read more about how to supercharge your self-care here.
Mouth Tape
Mouth breathing is an epidemic and is not the proper way to breathe. Our mouths are for eating and our noses are perfectly designed for breathing. Mouth taping during sleep encourages us to get back to our natural way of nasal breathing. One of the major causes of cavities believe it or not, is mouth breathing because it dries out the mouth of it’s protective bacteria increasing the odds for cavities and gum disease. I use mouth tape in conjunction with the Xlear nasal spray (below) to clear the nasal passages. If you are scared to completely tape your mouth, this is a good option, because it has a vent. Don’t worry it’s not as scary as it sounds, read more here. There are also several great books on the mouth breathing epidemic. If interested, check out Breathe, The Oxygen Advantage, or The 8-hour Sleep Paradox.
