It's great for if you have a sore throat, you feel like maybe you're getting run down, especially as we go into the winter months. In fact, I was just traveling and I took this Manu Cora honey with me because they come in these amazing little travel packs. I love Manu Cora honey. It's rich, creamy, and honestly, the most delicious honey I've ever tasted. What makes it so special? It's ethically produced by master beekeepers in the remote forests of New Zealand,

Starting point is 00:03:05 and it's packed with powerful nutrients that support both immunity and gut health. The bees collect nectar from the Manuka tea tree, and the honey they produce contains three times more antioxidants and prebiotics than regular honey. Not only that, but Manukora honey also contains a special antibacterial compound called MGO. Every single harvest is third-party tested for MGO, and you can even scan a QR code to see the results for yourself. I love to take a spoonful of Manu Cora honey straight from the jar in the morning. The creamy texture just melts in your mouth, and it's a perfect way to start the day. I also love to add it to my coffee. Plus, it's great to add to tea or drizzle on toast.

So I'm just going to get this out of the way right now. So if you're not into fashion, you can just fast forward to this. I love Revolve. I get like everything off of Revolve. They have everything from Dyson air

Starting point is 00:04:25 wraps to jovial shower heads. And then they have all the clothes, all the shoes you could want. The return is so easy, which is why I started shopping with Revolve because depending on where you live, you generally get your clothes within two to three days. And then if you're not into it, you can do something called happy returns. You don't even need a box. You don't even need a label. All you have to do is go to UPS. They scan the little code and you turn it back in and it gets shipped back. So for me, returns was always the most annoying thing and why I never wanted to shop online, but Revolve makes it so easy that I just buy everything off of Revolve. And like I said, you can find, I find my favorite makeup products on there. I get like Tower 28 off of there. They have Kosas,

Starting point is 00:05:09 they have Ilia, they have like all of the brands that I use. Also, I recently did a poll on my Instagram about the Dyson Airwrap and asked everybody if it was worth it. And the amount of messages that I got from women just being like, it literally transformed my hair. I was sold. I'm going to leave a link in the show notes for the Dyson Airwrap. If you guys are interested, it's very expensive. But it was my gift to myself for the year because I really haven't been buying anything. And I've been told that it replaces having to go to the salon to get a blowout. And I've been going to get my hair done a lot recently because I'm on camera a lot. And so I need my hair to look good. But I've been told that this replaces the need to go get your hair

Starting point is 00:05:49 done. So we'll see. I'll check back in with y'all and let you know if I actually love it. Cool thing is, is they also have a great return policy. So if I'm really not into it, I'm just going to return it, but I'm going to give it a go because I've had my eyes on it for like four years. Oh, also I went and I updated all of my favorites and I left a link for my revolve favorites in there. So all of my, all the things that I have either bought or that I'm eyeing clothes wise, I always go and heart in my favorites and I left a link for y'all so you can go and see all the things that I'm eyeing right now as far as clothes wise of what I want. Not sure if y'all are even interested in this, but I just wanted to share it with you because I love clothes. I think there's

Starting point is 00:06:29 so much fun and it's such a fun way to express yourself and just wanted to leave it out there for the girlies that are into it. So check out my link in the show notes and it will show you all the clothes that I'm either buying right now or hoping to buy within the next month or so. If you are like me and getting super into peptides, I highly recommend checking out designer jeans. I would go back and listen to the podcast episode that I did with Lindsay. She is amazing. And she's such a wealth of knowledge regarding everything peptides and also our genetic makeup too. So I left a link in the show notes for that. And the code is realfoodology, but I think you have to use the link

Starting point is 00:07:05 in order to get the discount. But she does genetic testing, which I found incredibly helpful. It really gave me insight into a lot of things with my own health and my own body. And then you can also get peptides through her. And she has peptide courses and can answer any sort of question

Starting point is 00:07:24 that you have regarding anything to do with peptides. So go back, listen to that episode. And then I would check out her stuff and I would see she might be having sales going on right now because everybody's having sales during the holiday season. So definitely check that out. All right. This next one is something that I use every single day. They also happen to be a sponsor of this episode. So thank you so much to our place for sponsoring this episode. I love our place. Y'all I'm going to try to list everything right now that I have in my kitchen from them. I have the toaster oven. I have the, I always forget what it's called. The wonder pot, I think is what it's called.

Starting point is 00:07:59 Something like that, where it's a Instapot and stunning, gorgeous. Like all of their things are so pretty. I want to display all of them on my counter and I'm a minimalist. Like I don't have anything on my counter except for my R play stuff. Cause it just looks so pretty. I also have the blender. I have the always pan. I have the small, always pan. I have the always pot. I have the small, always pot. What else do I have? I have their wooden spoons. Those all come with their pots and pans. And I just ordered their new loop napkins. They're so freaking chic and cute. And when my parents were here for Thanksgiving, I realized that I didn't have any nice napkins and we were using paper towels for everything. So I ordered their napkins from our place. I'm trying to think of

Starting point is 00:08:42 what else I have. Oh, oh, I have their tableware and I love it. Every time I have friends over, everybody asks me where I got my bowls and my plates from. They're all from our place. And if you go right now, actually, they're having a huge sale all over the website. And I believe if you use my code and you use my link that's in the show notes, you'll get the additional 10% off. But I know that they are having huge sales right now for the winter season, for the Christmas holiday season. And I got my whole set that's like four big bowls, four smaller bowls, four small plates, four big plates. I got that whole set for like pretty cheap. And I got it last year,

Starting point is 00:09:23 like last season around this time. So use my link in the show notes, use code real foodology. And I love everything from our place because they are PFAS free, which are forever chemicals. They're also free of all the harmful chemicals that you find normally in pots and pans and dinnerware and glassware and all of that. So check them out and make sure that you use the link in my show notes and use code real foodology for 10% off at from our place.com. All right. These next couple things that I'm going to talk about are imperative in my opinion, to have in your home. I think that it's absolutely imperative to have an air filter and have a water filter. I talk about this all

Starting point is 00:10:01 the time on this podcast, all the time on my Instagram. We are living in chemical soup and we can decide to let that scare us. I just personally do a lot of different things. And there's a couple of things that I'm talking about in this episode today that I do to defend myself from environmental toxins that are in our water, that are in our food. And this is not fear mongering. This is just the truth of what's happening right now. And so we got to do certain things to protect our health and our bodies. And what I do is I have a bunch of air filters in my home. My favorite air filter, which is a newer air filter that I just

Starting point is 00:10:35 got my hands on is from a brand called Jasper. You can go back and listen to the episode with the founder. I had the founder on my podcast a couple of episodes ago. And the Jasper is not only stunning looking, but it's industrial grade and it has metal casing around it instead of plastic, which I really love. And this is just a really high quality air filter. I encourage you to go back and listen to the episode with the founder. He talks about why he started his company before that he was working as a remediator, I think is the word where he would go into damaged water, damaged homes, get all the mold out, get all of the damage and the toxicity in the air.

Starting point is 00:11:15 And he saw what really worked and he created an air filter based off of that. So this is like an industrial grade air filter. Now it is a little bit more expensive. In my opinion, it's worth it because as he talks about in the episode, this is something that you can keep for life. So once you buy this, if there's any updates that happen, like it has a lifetime warranty on it. If there's any updates that happen to the screen, he'll send you the new screen because it's really easily replaceable. If you have any issues with it, he says that he

Starting point is 00:11:45 will replace the metal casing for you. It's pretty incredible. And all you have to do is replace the actual air filter every six months. So I'm a huge fan. They also look stunning. I have one in my living room. I also have one in my bedroom. I'm going to leave a link in the show notes and then also use code realfoodology. And that is for the Jasper air filter. Now I do have other air filters in my home. I've been talking about air doctor for years and yes, I still have them. Every time I mentioned the Jasper, everybody asks me, well, do you still love the air doctor and do you still use it? So the answer is yes. I have been using air doctors for years because that was in my opinion, the highest quality air filter that I could find.

Starting point is 00:12:26 And I still have some. I have one in my basement. I have one that's sitting literally right in front of me right now in my podcast studio. And I still love them. And I think a lot of this depends on your budget and also what aesthetic you want in your home and you know obviously like how much you can spend and I already kind of said that budget wise so you know my opinion with the Jasper I have since found the Jasper I think it well it wasn't even out years ago when I was buying my air doctors and so you know sometimes you want to upgrade and you find something better that you like better but I still think the air doctor is a great option. So if that's more in your budget or you want to buy a bunch of them and you'd rather spend the money on the Air Doctor, again, I personally love the aesthetic of the Jasper and I love that it has the lifetime

Starting point is 00:13:17 warranty. And so it's one of those things where he explained that you buy it for your nursery and then you send your kid off to college with it in 20 years, which I thought was really cool concept. But again, I still also love the air doctor. So I'm going to leave a link in the show notes for that. And they do have sales going on right now during the winter, during the holiday season. So make sure you click on that link because the only way to get that discount is clicking on the link that's in the show notes. Now, another thing is water filters. Water filters are so incredibly important, especially because they're still putting fluoride in our water, even though hopefully that is

Starting point is 00:13:50 changing within the new year. Since all of the research that has been coming out recently about fluoride and how it reduces IQs in children. So fluoride is a really big one that we want to be filtering out, but also PFASs, which are are forever chemicals they're ending up in our water and a third-party testing was done on aqua true and they found that the aqua true does filter out the PFASs it also filters out pharmaceutical drugs that end up in our water like SSRIs birth control like all of those pharmaceutical drugs are ending up in our water pesticides heavy, heavy metals, chlorine, all of it. It all gets filtered out with the AquaTrue. And then yes, with reverse osmosis, it does remove all the minerals. So I add minerals back in. Some are coming out from BodyBio soon, which I really love.

Starting point is 00:14:37 There's also Trace Minerals, which are great. Element, which happens to be a sponsor of the podcast, is also a great option for remineralizing your water. Why was that so hard to say? And then FlavCity electrolytes, you guys know, I love those. I use those every day to hydrate. So all of those are great options. If you want to get the FlavCity electrolytes, those are code real foodology and you'll save some money. Now, another option for a water filter, because everybody asks me for different options. The Brita's do not work. Brita's don't work. It's just not enough of a high quality water filter. I have read and I've seen some third party testing that apparently, according to the studies that I

Starting point is 00:15:16 saw, the clearly filtered is a good option. Now, my concern is that it's sitting in plastic all day in the plastic container, but you do you and whatever feels and looks best for you. So clearly filtered is another option. They also have a stainless steel water bottle that has a water filter attached to it. So if you travel and you want a water filter on your water bottle, that's a great option. I'm going to leave the link in the show notes. Oh, and one more thing about the AquaTrue water filter, that one, so they have a couple of different options. I'm going to leave the link in the show notes. Oh, and one more thing about the AquaTrue water filter, that one. So they have a couple of different options. I have the glass carafe, but they also have one that you can put on your sink so that your sink water just is filtered

Starting point is 00:15:55 water that comes out. So make sure y'all go in and click on the show notes for either of those. If you want one, this next one also happens to be a sponsor of the podcast of this episode specifically. Thank you for sponsoring Organifi. Organifi is having a 12 days of superfoods sales.

All right, let's talk skincare for all my skincare lovers out there. So I have two brands specifically that I use religiously, and I'll kind of talk you through what I use and when I use them. ClearStem. I love Clear Stem. Clear Stem is one of those brands where I absolutely love every single product of theirs. And I'm not just saying that. I really truly mean it. If you were to walk into my bathroom right now, you would see that I have literally every single one of their products and I use them all daily. So I use their gel cleanser every night to get my makeup off. That's the only thing I use to get my makeup

Starting point is 00:21:05 off. I love it so much because it thoroughly cleans your face and it actually gets all of your makeup off, but it doesn't leave your skin feeling stripped. I feel like so many face washes leave my skin feeling so dry and this actually leaves my skin feeling super moisturized. I've really dry skin already, so that's super important to me. And I also love that it gets all my makeup off. So that is one of my favorite products of theirs. I also love the vitamin scrub. I use it a couple times a week as an exfoliant for any like dry skin or, you know, and brightening and all that. I use their three serums pretty much almost nightly. I use the clarity serum a couple times a week. That one you're supposed to use right after you wash your face and you are, you should

Starting point is 00:21:48 leave it on for at least 10 minutes, if not longer before you put anything else on there because you've got to let the acids do their work. So I do that a couple times a week where I'll put it on and I'll leave it on for at least 10 minutes. Sometimes I'll go and like wash my face early, put that on, go cook dinner, and then later put the rest of my serums on. So you don't have to do it like just exactly 10 minutes afterwards. But if you're in a hurry and you're like waiting just 10 minutes, then you can put your skincare routine on after that. Then I either do the bounce back serum, which is their wrinkle serum. And they also call it their no Botox or I'll use cell renew. Um, depending on

Starting point is 00:22:24 the night, I kind of bounce back and forth. I don't use all three of them every night. Uh, the cell renew is great for deep hydration. It's also great if you're dealing with any sort of like acne scarring and then the bounce back is obviously great for wrinkle reduction. I almost forgot before I put the hydroberry on, I put their new oil on. I'm obsessed with this oil, y'all. It smells like watermelon. It's called watermelon barrier oil. It's also, well, it's called golden hour watermelon barrier oil. Um, I put that on first and then I put the, I'll, I'll usually do the hydroglow and the hydroberry. Hydroglow is there just like everyday moisturizer. And then the

Starting point is 00:23:03 hydroberry is their super moisturizing mask. But sometimes I'll just put the mask on, honestly. Oh, and I also forgot about the skin spray. So I'll put the skin spray on after the serums, then I'll put the golden hour on, and then I put on my moisturizers after that. I love the skin spray. I travel with it everywhere. I literally have it in like purses. I have it in my travel bag. I obviously have it in my, under my sink to put it on every night. And I'm constantly spraying that on just to give my, my skin moisture. And then I also love their under eye gel. That's one of my favorite products. I do not like under eye serums. I think they're too heavy and I just don't feel like they work as well on me, but their gel is incredible.

Starting point is 00:23:47 Oh, I also forgot to tell you all the clarity serum. I used to have blackheads on my nose that I could never get rid of no matter what I did. That clarity serum dissolved my blackheads and I'm like, it's actually crazy. I have several friends that have also said the same thing. That's like one of their hero products is the clarity serum because it's great at dissolving blackheads. So I would highly recommend if you have any friends in your life or parents, like mothers, stepmothers, mother-in-laws, these would be great stocking stuffers or just great gifts all around.

Starting point is 00:24:22 And you know, while you're at it, buy yourself something too. So make sure that you check out the link in the show notes and then use code realfoodology for ClearStem. So that was ClearStem. My other favorite tried and true that I've been using for like six years now is Agent Nature. And I still use it. I'm obsessed. So in the morning, I use Agent Nature every single morning. I use the Holy Trinity, which is the vitamin C powder, the Holy C powder. I mix it with the hyaluronic acid, and then I use the Holy oil on top. This face oil is so luxurious, and it smells so incredible. It is my favorite face oil on the planet. Let me say something too, before I go into more of the Agent Attour products. This is one of those brands where I know it's, it is, it's very expensive upfront. I only end up having to restock it once, twice, maybe three times a

Starting point is 00:25:19 year. And depending on the product, like that hyaluronic acid spray legit lasts me like six months. I only buy it twice a year. So I would argue that a lot of y'all are spending actually more money on some of your products because you're having to constantly rebuy them. And with the Agent and Tour products, I literally only buy them like twice, maybe three times a year. And I always stock up around this time. I also ask my mom for some stuff for Christmas, but I always stock up because she doesn't do a lot of sales, but she does do sales around the holidays. And that's when I stock up on everything. And then I just like have it in like a backstock in my bathroom so that I can just have it all year. Another one of my

Starting point is 00:25:59 favorite products of Agent Notor is the Holly Bright. It's the resurface glass face mask. I actually have it on right now. I try to do it a couple times a week. This is also another one that's considered like a no Botox kind of product. And it really does. It like tightens my skin. I see a significant difference whenever I use it. The Holy Glow Eye and Lip Serum. This actually used to be my favorite eye gel. And I traded out for Clear Stem because something weird started happening. I don't know if she changed the product, but it was making my eyes really itchy at night, like unbearably itchy. So hopefully that doesn't happen to you. This was my favorite product, legit my favorite product ever for under eyes. I used it for years and I had to stop because I don't know what happened. It started itching my under eyes, but everybody's

Starting point is 00:26:42 different. So you may have a totally different experience. I also love the Ageless Lifting and Firming Serum. I like to put that on in the morning as well. I love her tinted skin drops. I use the color Almond. Love, love, love, love. It is like the perfect, it gives you just dewy, moisturized looking skin. And it's the perfect amount of color. It's also SPF. So I like to put it on in the morning and it just makes your skin look perfect. I also love the body duo. So I will tell you the body wash is really expensive. It is a guilty pleasure of mine. I don't buy it all the time because it's really expensive. It is the most luxurious, sexy smelling body wash I've ever smelled in my life. Every time I use it, Hector's like, Ooh, Ooh, I love the smell of that. Um,

Starting point is 00:27:30 same with the body lotion. It is so luxurious. It's my favorite body lotion. Um, it's a little bit more expensive, but it looks gorgeous on your bathroom counter or something that I love. And it just feels so soothing on your skin and it smells really amazing. I've pretty much tried every single product on this website and I pretty much love everything. Lactic acid brightening cleanser is great. You can also use that as a mask. Love the deodorant. That was the first product she ever came out with and it's what I use. I circle around through different deodorants. I'm not using the Agent Natura one right now, but I'll go back to it after my next one. And it's one of my favorite deodorants ever.

Starting point is 00:28:08 Okay. Let's go to Jack Henry, which is skincare for your guys. Hector loves Jack Henry. So I got him their deodorant because we were on the hunt for a good non-toxic deodorant. He was using Old Spice before and I was horrified. And so I was like, we have to find you a healthier deodorant. He was using old spice before and I was horrified. And so I was like, we have to find you a healthier deodorant. Tried a bunch of different ones. This is the one that he landed on that he loves. And I love it because it smells so sexy. It is so good y'all. It is perfect. Um, so get your man, Jack Henry deodorant and thank me later. Cause you're going to love the way he smells. There's also colognes that they make. And when he wears the deodorant and the cologne, I am like, I can't keep my freaking

Starting point is 00:30:12 MitoPure and how it works and the extensive studies that they have done on this product, I highly recommend going back and listening to the episode where I talk to one of the founders of Timeline MitoPure.

Yes, that means your nonstick pans, your air fryers, your waffle makers, your blender could possibly have PFAS. And yes, even our beloved crockpots and pressure cookers. I have actually been talking about this for so long. Back in 2006, my mom came to my dorm room and made me get rid of all my nonstick pans because she was Concerned about me being exposed to something called teflon

Starting point is 00:31:28 Teflon is a coating that is used on nonstick pans and a lot of these appliances that I just named so i've avoided teflon nonstick PFA coated appliances pots and pans you name it for a very long time And the only option for the for a very long time was just stainless steel pots and pans, you name it for a very long time. And the only option for the, for a very long time was just stainless steel pots and pans. So I was really excited when a company like our place came out because they started creating really beautiful cookware and appliances that are like pieces of art. Every appliance that I have from our place, I legit want to store it on the counter. And I'm the type of person that does not want anything on my counter because I like it to look really just clean and minimal. But I'm so obsessed

Starting point is 00:32:09 with all the ArtPlace products that I have so many of them displayed on my counter because they are legit pieces of art. ArtPlace is a mission-driven and female-founded brand that makes beautiful kitchen products that are healthy and sustainable. All their products are made without PFAS, which are the forever chemicals, and also made without PTFE, which is Teflon. If a company is not outwardly stating that they don't use these chemicals, then if they are using nonstick coating on their appliances, they are absolutely using forever chemicals. And there's been increasing global scrutiny for their impact on the environment and our health. And recognizing this impact, the EU plans to prohibit pfas by 2025 our place has always been pfas free and they offer durable toxin-free ceramic coatings ensuring a healthy

Starting point is 00:32:50 safe cooking experience and let me tell you you guys they are changing the game with non-toxic appliances they have a blender they have an air fryer they have a crock pot not to mention their amazing always pan they have a perfect pot which is not to mention they're amazing. Always pan. They have a perfect pot, which is just the perfect size for soups. And they also just came out with a cast iron that I'm loving as well. And I more recently replaced all of the bowls and plates in my kitchen because I really needed an upgrade. My other ones were so old. So I got some from our place and they are so beautiful the ceramics are beautiful the colors are amazing like i said everything is like a piece of art if you want to

Starting point is 00:33:29 try any of the products from our place go to from our place.com and enter my code realfoodology checkout to receive 10 off site wide that's from our place.com code realfoodology our place offers a 100 day trial with free shipping and returns this next one has little travel packs that i love i'm actually leaving for a trip tomorrow and i packed some of these travel packs with me especially during the winter it is so imperative to stay on top of your immune support and they also happen to be a sponsor of this episode so thank you so much manicora and then it's spelled m-a-n-U-K-O-R-A. This is Manuka honey. I actually years ago went on a trip to Australia with a Manuka honey company. And I learned all about Manuka honey and it's so fascinating. So Manuka honey comes from honeybees that specifically

Starting point is 00:34:20 pollinate on Manuka flowers. So Manuka honey is really special because of that. And it's also because it's antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. The pollen from this manuka flower has a higher concentration of an active ingredient called methylglyoxal. I believe is how you say it. It's MGO. And this is what gives manuka honey more potent antibacterial effects than any other types of honey. So it can benefit your immune system, digestive function, also inflammatory response. Manucora has a couple different options. They have an MGO 600 plus, which is daily immunity support. They also have an MGO 850 plus, which is daily immunity plus digestion support. And then their MGO 1000 plus gives daily

Starting point is 00:35:07 inflammation support. And you can actually go on their website and do a little MGO quiz to see which one you would benefit from the most. This would be a great stocking stuffer for the wellness lover in your life. So go to manacora.com slash real foodology to get $25 off the starter kit, which comes with an MGO eight 50 plus Manuka honey jar, five honey travel sticks, a wooden spoon, and a guidebook. That is M A N U K O R a.com slash real foodology for $25 off your starter kit. This next one is a supplement that I'm loving right now. I'm taking it every single day. Body Bio. So they have a bunch of really amazing products that I would go and check out on their website. I really, really love this company. They are quickly becoming my favorite supplement company. The founder, Jess, actually the original

Starting point is 00:35:56 founder was Jess's grandfather. And now Jess is the head of the company. She was recently on the podcast. She is amazing. She's such a wealth of knowledge. And this company has been passed down through generations and their quality is superior to anything that I have found truly. Their hero product, in my opinion, and probably for the company is their PC. And I take this every single day. I get the liquid PC and I do a tablespoon a day right now. They sent me this chart, which completely sold it for me. A client of theirs, a patient that was undergoing supervision with the doctor was taking a tablespoon a day of PC and he saw all of his blood markers to go down for glyphosate, heavy metals, PFASs, phthalates. And there was a bunch of other ones on there and it blew me away.

Starting point is 00:36:47 So I'm taking a tablespoon a day of PC. If you want to get this product, I highly recommend it. Click on the show notes, link Body Bio and use code RealFoodology. There's another supplement company that I have started taking every day. We're doing the his and hers from WeNatal, both Hector and I, for fertility because hopefully we will be having babies later this year. Well, it's December, so next year. So check out the link in my show notes. Love this brand, WeNatal.

Starting point is 00:37:16 I actually have the founders coming on the podcast next year. We're going to talk all about fertility and things that you can do to protect your fertility and also things that you can take to protect your fertility and also things that you can take to make sure that you have an easier experience. So check out the link in the show notes for We Natal and look out for the episode that's going to be coming out next year with the founders. We're going to talk all about fertility and things you can do to boost your fertility and their products specifically how they help to boost your fertility. Another sponsor of the show is a supplement that I take every single day. It's from a brand called

Starting point is 00:37:50 Timeline. So thank you so much for sponsoring the show Timeline. This product I thought was really cool. I'd never heard anything like it and I had never heard of this one specific ingredient until Timeline. It's something called Urolithin A. You may remember I had the founder on my podcast last year and I started taking it because a lot of what I'm focusing on right now is two things, either detoxification, which is what I just talked about with body bio and fertility, which is the other thing I just talked about with WeNatal. I have a friend who is a practitioner and she had several women that were struggling to get enough eggs when they were going through IVF or freezing their eggs. And she put, I think it was

Starting point is 00:38:32 like five or six of these women she put on timeline. And now this is of course anecdotal, but it was enough to convince me. She saw all of her patients get more eggs with their next retrievals after taking timeline. Now, what is urolithin A? It's actually food for our mitochondria. Now, we know that our mitochondria are absolutely imperative to the overall functioning of our entire bodies of our cells. They're quite literally the batteries of ourselves. So we are only going to function as well as our mitochondria are. So I think it's incredibly important from longevity standpoint, also from a fertility standpoint, at least for me personally to feed my mitochondria and making sure that I'm really on it with that. So I take timeline every single day. I either put

Starting point is 00:39:19 the berry powder in like yogurt. Sometimes I put it in smoothies. Sometimes I'll just put it with water and just drink it down. Or I take the capsules when I'm traveling.

I have one almost every night in a wine glass just so that I can feel like I'm having a little aperitif. Also, the reason that I love these sparkling waters the most, they do not use any natural flavors. They're also PFAS free and it's the purest sparkling water that I've found. All right, we're onto some bigger gifts here. These are going to be a little bit more expensive, but these are gifts that will last a long time. So for your wellness lovers out there, if anyone is eyeing a sauna blanket or a red light mask, I really love the ones from Bond Charge. I've had a sauna blanket for a couple of years now. They're great because especially if you're in a smaller place, like when I was in my one

Starting point is 00:44:55 bedroom apartment in LA, there's no way that I could fit an actual freaking sauna in there. So I had this sauna blanket. I still have it. And it was perfect because you can roll it up and then just like stuff it in a closet. You don't need to have like a big sauna. It's also way more affordable than having an actual sauna in your home. Huge fan of it. Click on the link in the show notes. And I believe that it applies a discount automatically. And then the red light mask. I also really love the red light mask. It's pretty like flat. So it's super packable. So you can travel with it.

Starting point is 00:45:28 It only takes 10 minutes a day. You can put it on while you're doing other things around the house. And so it's great for multitasking. It's also great for when you're doing your morning meditation to get your red light in. And then they also have this little travel red light wand that I like. And I travel with that a lot when I want red light. Also, speaking of red light, the loom box, I really love the loom box too. When I posted about this, y'all went crazy for it. And

Starting point is 00:45:52 for good reason, it's perfect size for traveling. I travel with this guy all the time too.

Starting point is 00:46:18 And then last but not least, sponsor of the show, Wellness. So happy and proud to have them as a sponsor. I use their toothpaste i love it it's fluoride free and it has something called hydroxyapatite in there which is a mineral it's the same material that your teeth are made of hydroxyapatite helps to stimulate growth in your teeth and it's a great option if you don't want to use fluoride because it helps to repair existing cavities and avoid new ones.

Starting point is 00:46:46 So I love the whitening toothpaste. It would be a great stocking stuffer. They also have a great children's toothpaste, strawberry flavored, and my friend Celeste Kidd loves it. And I actually just found this out from Celeste recently. So she found out through her dentist that for the kiddos, you should actually be using a micro hydroxyapatite. So make sure in your children's toothpaste, if you have the hydroxyapatite. So make sure in your children's toothpaste, if you have the hydroxyapatite toothpaste that use the micro hydroxyapatite, there's something about them needing the smaller hydroxyapatite molecules and wellness actually uses micro hydroxyapatite in their children's toothpaste. So this is a great option. Again, I think it'd be a great
