I’m sharing a roundup of my favorite wellness products of 2024! If you want to use FSA/HSA credits before they expire, I have included these little asterisks *** for companies that will accept FSA/HSA or can potentially receive reimbursement with a medical letter of need. Of course, check with your doctor and insurance provider!
Hello friends! How are you? How was the weekend? I hope you had a great time. Ours was discreet and charming. We went out to dinner with friends, I took two barre classes, and we did some Christmas baking.
For today’s post, I wanted to share a roundup of my favorite wellness products of 2024. These are perfect as we wrap up December, start setting 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 and wellness products that you love too!
Just a heads up 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 also 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 them. These links allow me to earn a small kickback and support our family and this little blog. Thank you so much to those of you who purchase through my links!
My favorite wellness products of 2024
***CGM Nutrisense
This is a fairly recent finding (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 using 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 use one every couple of months just to monitor, and my blood sugar is something I’ve been trying to keep an eye on as my levels are usually a little higher than I’d like them to be.
They also offer visits to nutritionists that are often covered by insurance.! I have one reserved and can’t wait to try it. Check the CGM plans here and use the code GINA50. It’s the perfect time to order once in a while and then you’ll be ready to go after the holidays.
Clearly leaked jug.
this launcher It filters over 360 contaminants and is very easy to use. I simply fill it with water from the refrigerator and structure it next to my Somavedic. I like these filters because they are inexpensive (about $100) and simply replaced every 3 months. We also have a AquaTru Under Sink Reverse Osmosis Filter.
Life Waves Patches
These are a very recent favorite and the Pilot and I are obsessed. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my energy, productivity, focus and libido lol. We use the X39. The Pilot has a lot more power! From what I’ve heard, results improve over time. A girl in my barre class yesterday said she’s been using them for over a year and her hair has grown so much – her hair was thick and beautiful. You can read more about my experience here!
Dr. Cabral Detox
This detox It’s a game-changer and I love completing it every quarter. Our bodies are amazing at “taking out the trash” on their own, but the reality is that they were not designed to be subject to so many toxins on a regular basis. Toxins are a stressor on the body and I love this detox to give my liver extra support and a boost of nutrients. You can read more about my experience here – I always sleep well and notice that the inflammation decreases in my face – and order your detox kit here. We start as a community on January 13! (If this is your first time joining, use FITNESSISTA10 at checkout)
***Lumens
Lumens It’s a pretty amazing tool for assessing metabolic flexibility and the efficiency with which your body burns carbohydrates and fat. You breathe in Lumen and the CO2 levels in our breath help Lumen determine our respiratory exchange rate (RER). Rate this on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 to 5; 1 is mostly fat and 5 is mostly carbs) and this number is based on whether we are burning predominantly 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 each day’s workout in the app), sleep, and data from the previous day. You can read more about my experience here.
LumensGoogle’s technology has improved dramatically over the past year and you can now add photos of your meals, get personalized meal suggestions that fit your macros, and watch video tips and tutorials through the app. You can check it here and use the code FITNESSISTA. *I googled and it looks like you can submit a refund for the HSA if you have a letter of medical necessity.
***Oura Ring
I jumped on the Oura train years ago and instantly fell in love with the data and sleep tracker. I took a break while recovering for the last year and a half, but I wanted to get it back. Oura It’s gotten a lot smarter and more intuitive over the past year, especially now that it can be synced with Natural Cycles.
walking pad
I use my walking platform every day. I ordered one of the cheapest ones on Amazon and was impressed with the quality. It does what it has to do! It’s a great way to keep track during conference calls and studying. PHI materials.
vivarays
I have tried MANY blue light blockers and These are by far the best in terms of design and quality. I was able to learn from the founder of RHS, try some on, and have some 3-in-1 prescription glasses in the works! I can’t wait to use them while I’m in front of the computer. You can check it out and get more information 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 in the house. They filter out so many nasty particles from the air that when you open the filter to change it, it’s amazing to see how many are floating in the air. My full review is here.
owala water bottle
I officially retired my Stanley and have been LOVE the Owawla. There is an optional internal straw; you can use it or just drink from the bottle. They are stainless steel, easy to water and great for traveling as they don’t drip.
***Shower head with filter and canopy
If you filter your drinking water, showing and bathing your water is the next big step. He Pavilion It removes contaminants from water, including metals, microbes, bacteria and fungi, and makes your hair and skin feel super soft and smooth. Our water here in Tucson is horrible and I could smell the chlorine in the shower before. Now it has no chemical or chlorine smell. The girls noticed the difference right away! shower heads and amazing humidifiers They are eligible for both FSA and HSA.
***Highest DOSE sauna blanket, PEMF go mat and red light mask
I will sing the praises of HigherDOSE forever because I use at least one every day. I use the Go Mat daily to meditate and use the sauna blanket 2-3 times a week and it feels amazing. I sleep very well and it makes my skin glow. I am also a big fan of red light mask to improve mood and potentially help with collagen production. Use FITNESSISTA20 with a 20% discount Higher DOSE Favorites.
Therasage Weighted Blanket
This weighted blanket has a silky soft cover and additional EMF protection. Standard weighted blankets use harmful beads, but this one uses natural healing gemstones of amethyst, tourmaline, jade, rose quartz and shungite wrapped inside the 600 thread count bamboo blanket and duvet. It feels like a DREAM. Use code FITNESSISTA here.

If you’re tired of waking up to a blaring alarm clock, the hatch It wakes you up peacefully, first with light and then with relaxing sounds of nature. In its relaxation mode, it can play a variety of nature sounds and instrumental music as the lights change, darken, and then go out. If you wake up stressed or have trouble relaxing at night, This can be an amazing tool.
