Health resources

Things I Love

Whether I’m with a new patient or one that I’ve seen for a long time, I often find myself talking and re-sharing my favorite and most trusted wellness resources that I think everyone could benefit from experiencing. I truly enjoy sharing my thoughts on clean skin care, a new recipe, non-toxic cleaning supplies, a good book, helpful ways to meditate, ways to make your living spaces more conducive to health…you get the idea! I’ve listed a few here and hope to keep adding more as I find, read, and self test as many as I can.

Some of these are affiliate links and everything listed here is genuinely one of “my favorite things” and has helped me or my patients. I invite you to try them out as well and see how you feel. Please let me know if you have questions!

Sit, Snooze, Slow Down Summer
