Healthy Gift Ideas for the Holidays!

I am a lover of the holiday season for so many reasons, but one of my favorite things is to give personal and meaningful gifts! We all know investing in our health can get expensive, so why not use the holidays as an opportunity to bless someone or treat yourself to something that helps accomplish health goals? I've put together a quick list of a few products that I find helpful and worth the money to help promote a healthy lifestyle. 

1. Water Filter:

• Hydroviv Water Filter- Perks: Affordable, easy installation in both under sink option and in shower, customized for your zip code, filters out PFAS! 
• Pure Effects Filter- Perks: Filters out everything from parasites, microorganisms, fluoride, radiation , heavy metals, nano-plastics, and more. Downside: more expensive!

   

2. Fertility Tracker: 

• Temp Drop: basal body temperature tracker to measure cycle changes. Easy to use, wear on arm for less user error than thermometer usage.  (affordable option)
  
  
• Inito Fertility: more expensive, but very in depth. Shows metabolites of estrogen, LH, and progesterone throughout the month. Confirms ovulation.
