Sharing a roundup of my favorite wellness products from 2024! If you’re looking to use FSA/HSA credits before they expire, I’ve included these little asterisks *** for companies that will accept FSA/HSA or can be potentially reiumbursed with a medical letter of necessity. Of course, check with your doctor and insurance provider!

Hi friends! How are you? How was the weekend? I hope you had a great one. Ours was low-key and lovely. We went out to dinner with friends, I taught two barre classes and we did some holiday baking.

For today’s post, I wanted to share a roundup of my favorite wellness products from 2024! These are perfect as we finish out December, start to make 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’re loving, too!

Just a heads up that I don’t use an FSA or HSA, but I know so 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 am also featuring some tried and true faves that I still use all the time. Because I love all of these products so much, I’m an affiliate for many of them. These links enable me to earn a small kickback and they support our family and this little blog. Thank you so much to those of you who shop through my links!)

My favorite wellness products from 2024

***Nutrisense CGM

This is a fairly newer find – I’ve been using them 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, sleep, nutrition (especially sugar and alcohol), exercise, stress, and habits affect your blood glucose levels. I like to wear one every couple of months just to check in, and my blood sugar is something I’ve been trying to monitor since my numbers are often a little higher than I’d like them to be.

They also offer nutriitonist calls that are often covered by insurance! I have one booked and can’t wait to try it. Check out the CGM plans here and use the code GINA50. It’s perfect timing to order now and then you’re ready to go after the holidays.

Clearly Filtered pitcher

This pitcher filters out 360+ contaminants and is super easy to use. I just fill it with water from the fridge and structure it next to my Somavedic. I like these filters because they’re inexpensive (about $100) and you just replace the filter every 3 months. We also have an AquaTru reverse osmosis filter for under the sink.

Lifewave patches 

These are a very recent fave and the Pilot and I are both obsessed. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my energy, productivity, focus, and libido lol. We use the X39. The Pilot has way more energy! From what I’ve heard, the results get better with time. A girl in my barre class yesterday said she’s been using them for over a year and has had a ton of hair growth – her hair was thick and gorgeous. You can read more about my experience here!

Dr. Cabral Detox

This detox is a gamechanger and I absolutely love completing it every quarter. Our bodies are incredible at “taking out the trash” on their own, but the reality is that they weren’t designed to be subjected to so many toxins on a regular basis. Toxins are a stressor on the body, and I love this detox to give my liver some extra support and a nutrient boost. You can read more about my experience here – I always sleep well and notice that inflammation decreases in my face – and order your detox kit here. We start as a community on January 13! (If it’s your first time joining in, use FITNESSISTA10 at checkout)

***Lumen

Lumen is a pretty amazing tool to assess metabolic flexibility and how effiently your body burns carbs and fat. You breathe into the Lumen and the CO2 levels in our breath helps Lumen to determine our Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER). It rates this on a scale of 1-5 (from 1 to 5; 1 is mostly fat and 5 is mostly carbs) and this number is based on whether we’re predominantly burning carbs or fat in that moment. Lumen suggests a macro split for the day, depending on your RER, your workout for the day (you can input each day’s workout into the app), sleep, and previous day’s data. You can read more about my experience here. 

Lumen’s technology has drastically improved over the past year and you can now add photos of your meals, get custom meal suggestions to fit your macros, and watching tip videos and tutorials through the app. You can check it out here and use the code FITNESSISTA. *I did some Googling and it looks like you can submit reimbursement for HSA if you have a letter of medical necessity.

***Oura ring

I hopped on the Oura train years ago and instantly fell in love with the data and sleep tracker. I took a break while I was healing over the past year and a half, but have been wanting to bring it back. Oura has gotten SO much smarter and more intuitive over the past year, especially now that it can be synced with Natural Cycles.

Walking pad

I use my walking pad every.single.day. I ordered one of the cheaper ones on Amazon and I’ve been impressed with the quality. It does what it needs to do! It’s a great way to get in steps during conference calls and studying IHP materials. 

Vivarays

I’ve 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 at RHS and try some on, and have some prescription 3-in-1 glasses in the works! I can’t wait to wear them while I’m at the computer. You can check it out and learn more here. My code is FITNESSISTA for 10% off.

****Air Doctor

Air Doctors have changed our lives and we now have one in almost every room of the house. They filter so many nasty particles from the air – when you open the filter to change it, it’s wild to see how much is floating through the air. My full review is here. 

Owala water bottle

I officially retired my Stanley and have been LOVING the Owawla. There is an optional internal straw; you can use it, or simply drink from the bottle. They’re stainless steel, easy to water, and great for travel since they don’t leak.

***Canopy filtered showerhead

If you filter your drinking water, showing and bathing water is a great next step. The Canopy removes contaminants from water, including metals, microbes, bacteria and fungi, and makes your hair and skin feel super smooth and soft. Our water here in Tucson is horrible and before, I could smell the chlorine in our shower. It has zero chemical/chlorine odor now. The girls noticed a difference right away! The showerheads and amazing humidifiers are both FSA and HSA eligible.

***HigherDOSE sauna blanket, PEMF go mat and red light mask

I will sing the praises of HigherDOSE foever and ever because I use at least one every.single.day. I use the Go Mat daily for meditation, and use the sauna blanket 2-3 times per week and it feels amaaaaazing. I sleep so well and it makes my skin glow. I’m also a huge fan of the red light face mask for a mood boost and to potentially help with collagen production. Use FITNESSISTA20 for 20% off HigherDOSE faves.

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 Gem Stones wrapped inside the 600-thread count bamboo blanket and duvet. It feels like a DREAM. Use code FITNESSISTA here.

Hatch alarm

If you’re sick of waking up to a blaring alarm clock, the Hatch wakes you up peacefully, first with light and then with soothing nature sounds. For it’s wind down mode, it can play a variety of nature sounds and instrumental music as the lights change, become darker, and then turn off. If you wake up feeling stressed or have a hard time winding down at night, this can be an amazing tool. 

OneSkin

This skincare includes a powerful peptide that was designed to combat senescent (aka zombie) cells, which can increase inflammation and signs of aging. I especially love their lotion – I use it every day – and their tinted moisturizer, which I mix with the Tarte bb primer and use every morning. Code is FITNESSISTA15 for 15% off!

Barefoot sneakers

This is my go-to brand and I have a full post about why they’re my fave here!

Ok friend: what’s the best wellness product for you for 2024??

I’m excited to put together my wellness and fitness preductions for next year!
