INFRARED SAUNAS:
CLEARLIGHT
https://infraredsauna.com
It’s hard to think of a better way to detox than using an infrared sauna! These units use heat differently and can be used inside the home, even on carpeting. They don’t get hot like the traditional high-heat saunas found in most gyms and spas.
This brand is by far the best sauna around! Low cost saunas often come with many downsides that can exacerbate health concerns and offset the benefits of using a sauna. When shopping, you want to ensure you get a (true) low EMF sauna, and that the wood, adhesives, and all other parts used are low in formaldehyde & other VOCs. These saunas offer models with both near and far infrared lights, though with other brands you may need to choose between near and far (each wavelength has different health benefits). Finally, ensure the brand you purchase from offers a lifetime warranty, and is from a company that has been around for a while (and will be… you can’t activate a warranty if a company is no longer in business). I have a “Sanctuary” model sauna in my home. This sauna is full-spectrum, meaning it has far, mid, and near infrared wavelengths, giving you the all the benefits of the full light spectrum.DISINFECTANT SPRAY (no more bleach!):
FORCE OF NATURE (approved for killing COVID-19!)
https://www.forceofnatureclean.com
This amazing product uses electrical charges to convert water, salt, and vinegar to hypochlorous acid, which is chemically similar to bleach but isn’t toxic. Force of Nature is on the EPA’s list of Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2 (the cause of COVID-19). I can’t recommend this product more highly! Stop using toxic disinfectant sprays and bleach all around the home… This can be used on hard, non-porous surfaces just like you’d use other typical Clorox / anti-bacterial sprays.VAGAL NERVE TONING DEVICE
TRUVAGA (handheld consumer device)
https://www.truvaga.com (use code GEHAPLUS for $30 off the Truvaga Plus or GEHA350 for $20 off the Truvaga 350)
Have you been hearing about the wonders of the vagus nerve and questioning how you can strengthen yours quickly and powerfully? Try a handheld vagal toning device! While deep breathing, humming, and mindfulnessare still important tools for strengthening vagal tone, we now have access to something that used to be available only through a prescription: handheld vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) devices. You simply place this against the side of your neck (where the vagus nerve runs next to the carotid artery) and in two minutes it delivers gentle pulses that help engage your parasympathetic “rest and digest” system. It’s pretty amazing that we now have access to an over-the-counter device for this!WATER FILTERS:
PURE EFFECT (undercounter filter)
https://www.pureeffectfilters.com
This is my recommendation for a filter that is installed under your counter (it will have a small spigot that is installed on your kitchen counter, and the rest is installed underneath by your sink). It makes water on demand, as needed (no need to refill containers). For most homeowners, I recommend the filter unit “Ultra UC Disinfect (Undercounter)”, but your needs may be different (especially if you have well water). They have filters available for well water, whole house units, filters that go on your shower head, and more.
These units clean water as well as your typical reverse osmosis (RO) systems do, but without removing the beneficial minerals like RO systems will (removing these good minerals is what makes the pH so acidic on RO systems) and without the extremely excessive water waste created by reverse osmosis systems.
It’s also a good idea to test your water with Tap Score, to ensure you identify specific areas of concern in your water and filter them out with the right system.WATER TESTING:
TAP SCORE
https://mytapscore.com
While your local water quality report along with EWG’s Tap Water Database is a good start, I always recommended you test your water to ensure you identify specific areas of concern in your individual water. Tap Score provides information about your contaminants and where they fall in ranges directly related to health effects (in contrast to the EPA’s “acceptable levels of toxicity”).MOLD CLEANERS / LAUNDRY ADDITIVES:
MICRO BALANCE PRODUCTS
https://microbalancehealthproducts.com
I am obsessed with the EC3 Laundry Additive! Not only does it use essential oils to keep my laundry smelling great (without artificial fragrances and pthalates), it also helps to prevent mold build up inside my wet, dark (read: mold-growth heaven) washing machine’s parts. No more musty smells and odors since I started using it. They also state that it rinses mold spores and bacteria off of laundry too.AT-HOME HORMONE TESTING:
MIRA
https://shop.miracare.com/
Mira is an at-home hormone tracker that uses urine testing to measure key fertility and reproductive hormones (and syncs results to a tracking app). It’s designed to help you understand ovulation and fertility, as well as track changes through perimenopause and menopause. It’s used by women seeking more info about fertility issues, irregular cycles, anovulatory cycles, PCOS, stages of perimenopause/menopause, and more.SLEEP TRACKING RING:
OURA RING
https://ouraring.com/
This is one of my absolute favorite “bio hacking” products out there. I’m in love with mine. This is a “smart” ring used for tracking your sleep quality, your daily readiness, average temperature, heart rate, heart rate variability, and more. My favorite feature is airplane mode, which disables all bluetooth transmission while still recording sleep data locallly (for up to seven days!) This makes it one of the only wearables out there that allows you to truly “turn off” EMF exposure while still recording data (there is evidence that EMF exposure may negatively affect sleep quality and suppress melatonin production in some individuals, so I always recommend an EMF-free sleep tracker to my clients).COOLING MATTRESS TOPPER:
CHILIPAD
https://sleep.me/
Trying to get deeper sleep each night? Tired of night sweats? These cooling devices can help! Did you know the ideal temperature for sleep quality is around 65 F? Most of us are sleeping warmer than that, and unknowingly causing nighttime wakenings and poorer sleep quality. These are pricey, but they are an investment in your health that will last for a very long time. And, like the Oura ring, these have airplane mode feature that allows you to avoid potentially sleep-disrupting EMFs.
