I'm sharing a roundup of my favorite wellness products of 2024! If you want to use FSA/HSA credits before they expire, I've included these little asterisks *** for companies that will accept FSA/HSA or can be reimbursed with a medical need letter. Of course, consult your doctor and insurer!

Hello friends! how are you How was your weekend? I hope you had a great time. Ours was modest and lovely. We went out to dinner with friends, I taught two barre classes and we did holiday baking.

For today's post, I wanted to share a roundup of my favorite wellness products of 2024! They're perfect as we wrap up December, start working on our 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!

I'm just cautioning that 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 tried to include newer products for this year, but I'm also featuring some tried and true favorites that I still use all the time. Because I love all of these products so much, I'm an affiliate for many of these links allow me to earn a small return and they support our family and this little blog.

My Favorite Wellness Products of 2024

***Nutrisense CGM

This is a fairly recent discovery – I've been using them 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 real-time data on how exercise, sleep, diet (especially sugar and alcohol), exercise, stress, and habits affect your blood glucose levels. I like to wear it every few months just to check in and my blood sugar is something I try to track because my numbers are often a little higher than I'd like them to be.

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

Clear filtered jug

This pitcher filters 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 are cheap (around $100) and you only change the filter every 3 months. We have one too AquaTru reverse osmosis filter under the sink.

Lifewave patches

These are recent favorites and Pilot and I are both obsessed. I have noticed a huge difference in my energy, productivity, focus and libido lol. We use X39. The pilot has a lot more energy! From what I've heard, the results get better over time. A girl in my barre class yesterday said she's been using them for over a year and her hair has grown - her hair was thick and beautiful. You can read more about my experience here!

dr. Cabral Detox

This detox is a game changer and I absolutely love finishing it every quarter. Our bodies are amazing at "taking out the trash" on their own, but the reality is that they weren't designed to be exposed to so many toxins on a regular basis. Toxins are a stressor for the body, and I love this detox to give my liver extra support and nutrients. You can read more about my experience here – I always sleep well and notice that the inflammation on my face decreases - and order your detox kit here. We start as a community on January 13th!

***Lumen

Lumen is a pretty amazing tool for assessing metabolic flexibility and how efficiently your body burns carbs and fat. You breathe into the lumen and the CO2 levels in our breath help the Lumen determine our respiratory exchange ratio (RER). It rates this on a scale of 1-5 (1 to 5; 1 being mostly fat and 5 being mostly carbs) and this number is based on whether we're burning mostly carbs or fat at the time. Lumen suggests a macro split for the day, depending on your RER, your workout for the day (you can enter your workout for the day in the app), sleep, and data from the previous day. You can read more about my experience here.

lumen'Technology has improved dramatically in the past year and you can now add photos of your meals, get customized meal suggestions that match your macros, and watch video tips and tutorials through the app. You can check it here and use with FITNESSISTS. *I did some googling and it looks like you can file for HSA reimbursement if you have a letter of medical necessity.

***Our ring

I jumped on the Oura train many years ago and instantly fell in love with data and sleep tracking. I took a break while healing for the last year and a half, but I wanted to get it back. Hooray has gotten a lot smarter and more intuitive over the past year, especially now that it can sync with Natural Cycles.

Walking mat

I use my walking pad every day. I ordered one of the cheaper ones on Amazon and am impressed with the quality. It does what it needs to do! It's a great way to get up to speed during 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 founders of RHS and try some, and I have some 3-in-1 prescription glasses in the works! I can't wait to wear them while I'm at the computer. You can check and learn more here. My code is FITNESSISTA for 10% off.

**** Air Doctor

Air Doctors they changed our lives and now we 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 wild to see how much is floating through the air. My full review is here.

Ovala water bottle

I officially retired my Stanley and I was LOVES Owawl. There is an optional internal straw; you can use it or simply drink from the bottle. They are stainless steel, easy to water, and great for travel because they don't leak.

***Filtered canopy shower head

If you're filtering drinking water, show and bath water is a great next step. The Canopy removes contaminants from water, including metals, microbes, bacteria and fungi, and leaves your hair and skin super smooth and soft. Our water here in Tucson is horrible, and I used to smell chlorine in the shower. No chemical/chlorine smell now. The girls immediately noticed the difference! Showers and amazing moisturizers are both FSA and HSA eligible.

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

I will sing the praises of HigherDOSE forever because I use at least one every.single.day. I use the Go Mat daily for meditation and use a sauna blanket 2-3 times a week and it feels fantastic. I sleep so well and my skin glows. I'm also a huge fan face mask with red light to boost mood and potentially help with 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 a 600 thread count bamboo blanket and quilt. I feel like a DREAM. Use the code FITNESSIST here.

Hatch alarm

If you're tired of waking up to a blaring alarm, the Hatch wake you up in peace, first with light and then with the soothing sounds of nature. For its relaxation mode, it can play different nature sounds and instrumental music as the lights change, get darker, and then turn off. If you wake up stressed or have trouble settling down at night, this can be an amazing tool.

OneSkin

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

Sneakers for bare feet

This is my favorite brand i also have a full post on why they're my favorite here!

Ok my friend: what is the best wellness product for you in 2024??

I'm excited to put together my health and fitness predictions for next year!
