Sharing a roundup of my favorite wellness products for 2024! If you want to use your FSA/HSA points before they expire, I’ve added these little asterisks*** for companies that accept FSA/HSA or can be reimbursed with a necessary medical letter. Of course, check with your doctor and insurance company!
Hi friends! Are you OK? How was your weekend? I hope you have a great time. Ours is low-key and cute. We went out to dinner with friends, I taught two barre classes, and we did some holiday baking.
In today’s post, I want to share a roundup of my favorite wellness products for 2024! These are perfect as we wrap up December, start setting health and New Year’s goals, and use up any FSA or HSA points before they expire. I’d love to hear about your favorite health/wellness products!
Note that I don’t use 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 also tried to include new products this year, but also featured 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 on many of these links so I can Earn a little kickback, they support our family and this little blog, and a huge THANK YOU to those who shop through my links!
This is a fairly new discovery – 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. Many of us are insulin resistant, and by wearing a CGM, you can get real-time data on how your movement, sleep, nutrition (especially sugar and alcohol), exercise, stress, and habits affect your blood sugar levels. I like to wear them every few months just to check in, and I’m always trying to monitor my blood sugar because my numbers are often a little higher than I’d like them to be.
They also offer nutritionist phone calls that are often covered by insurance! I’ve already pre-ordered it and can’t wait to try it. View the CGM program here and use code GINA50. Now is the perfect time to order so you can head out after the holidays.
this pitcher Filters out more than 360 contaminants and is very easy to use. I just fill the refrigerator with water and put it next to my Somavedic. I like these filters because they are cheap (about $100) and you only have to replace the filter every 3 months. we have one more AquaTru reverse osmosis filter for under sink.
These are a recent favorite and the pilot and I are obsessed with them. I noticed a huge difference in my energy, productivity, focus, and libido, haha. We use X39. Pilots have more energy!

This detox is a game changer and I absolutely love completing it every season. Our bodies have an incredible ability to “remove the trash” on their own, but the truth is, they are not designed to handle so many toxins on a regular basis. Toxins are a stressor in the body and I love this detox which provides extra support and nutritional supplements to my liver.

lumen is an amazing tool for assessing metabolic flexibility and how efficiently your body burns carbohydrates and fat. You breathe into Lumen, and the carbon dioxide levels in your breath help Lumen determine our respiratory exchange rate (RER). It’s rated on a scale of 1-5 (from 1 to 5; 1 is mostly fat and 5 is mostly carbs), and the number is based on whether we’re burning mostly carbs or fat at the time. Lumen recommends a macro split for the day, based on your RER, the day’s workouts (you can enter your daily workouts into the app), sleep, and the previous day’s data.
