Many of you have been asking me what health and wellness products I use regularly.  I have put together a list of some of my favorite health, wellness, fitness and nutrition products and apps for 2018. Many of these will help you look and feel your best.  Remember, the key to improving your health and wellness is being consistent.  This guide will help you achieve your goals in order to look and feel better this year!
**Look for codes to save**

​
Healthy Snacks

Biena Chickpea Snacks
What makes Biena snacks great is that they contain more protein and fiber to keep you fuller longer.  They also have a lot less fat than nuts or chips.  You get a crunchy and flavorful snack in a healthy way.  They have so many flavors such as ranch, honey roasted and even chocolate covered!  Satisfy your craving for sweet or savory. Use code: DRSUZHEALS for 20% off your order of Biena chickpea snacks. 

​
Hu Kitchen Organic Paleo|Vegan Chocolate Bars
Hu Kitchen is one of my favorite places to eat when I am in New York City. This company makes some of the BEST paleo products.  Not only is Hu Kitchen Chocolate incredibly delicious, but their chocolate is also good for your health!  There is no dairy, no gluten, no soy lecithin, no preservatives, no refined sugar, no cane sugar, no sugar alcohols and are non-GMO.  They include 72% organic stone-ground cacao and are completely guilt free! My favorite flavor is the Hazelnut Butter Dark Chocolate.   


GG® Scandinavian Bran Crispbreads 
These high fiber, low calorie scandinavian snacks have continued to gain popularity in the United States for their health and weight loss benefits.  GG® Scandinavian Bran Crispbreads were created in Norway by Gudner Gundersen in 1935. Gudner wanted to create a fiber-rich cracker that helped supplement his diet with extra fiber. He created his signature recipe with bran, rye flour, a hint of salt, and fresh water.  The company has kept the original simple and healthy recipe.  These crackers are great to add to any snack or meal as a replacement for bread or other high carb food.  High fiber snacks help regulate blood sugar and aid in digestion of carbohydrates.  I love topping mine with smoked salmon, avocado and eggs or making mini pizzas.  Each cracker contains 4g of fiber, 20 calories and 2g net carbs.  

Banza Chickpea Pasta
This year is all about the chickpeas LOL!  But seriously, chickpeas make for a great alternative to wheat noodles.  Banza pasta has double the protein, four times the fiber and almost half the net carbohydrates of other pastas.  You can prepare any of your favorite pasta meals, salads or snacks the exact same way just by making the simple swap.  They are naturally gluten free, have a relatively low glycemic index and taste great.  I usually keep it simple and combine my pasta with garlic, lemon and fresh vegetables.  

​

Supplements & Nutrition

Athletic Greens
It's easy to make your health a priority this year with Athletic Greens.  This superfood cocktail has been a life changer!  Many of us lead extremely busy and hectic lifestyles and understand how difficult it is to get the vitamins and nutrients that our bodies need to function at our best.  Athletic greens is enough to replace most of your supplements and fill the gaps in your diet.  This will save you so much time and money.  Just add one scoop to your water or smoothie every day.  You get the antioxidant equivalent of 12 servings of vegetables, along with improved alkalinity, digestive health, and immune system support.  Athletic Greens contains several micronutrients and other essential ingredients to help your body absorb and synthesize nutrients.  When your body and cells function optimally, you will feel better, look better, workout harder and even lose weight.  


Four Sigmatic SuperFood Mushroom Products
Before you start freaking out because you don't like mushrooms or think that these products actually taste like the standard white button mushrooms you eat on your steak or salad, let me tell you about the powers of healing mushrooms from four sigmatic foods.  These delicious edible mushroom blends and elixirs offer several health benefits, from nutritional to emotional to physical.  They are also very tasty as a coffee, tea, hot cacao or added to smoothies.  For example, reishi mushrooms help you relax, manage stress and sleep better.  I love having a hot cup of reishi hot cacao as part of my bedtime routine.  Cordyceps mushrooms help to improve immune support, athletic performance and liver function.  This is a great afternoon elixir to take before workouts or for a mid-workday boost.  For 10% OFF your ENTIRE order of mushroom products use code: DRSUZHEALS at checkout.  


Premium Omega 3 TG
Omega 3 Fatty Acids (DHA/EPA) provide a natural solution to fight inflammation and improve your overall health.  They also help reduce inflammation caused by heart disease, arthritis, stroke, Alzheimer's and other systemic inflammatory conditions.  I have used Omega 3 to help with joint pain, manage stress and brain health.  Make sure to use only pure and powerful forms of Omega 3 Fatty Acids EPA and DHA for long lasting health benefits including lowered risks of heart disease, arthritis, depression, cognitive decline and more.  The supplement I trust is fromAthletic Greens and is ultra-purified and concentrated for quality EPA and DHA, they only use sustainable wild caught small fish and are 3rd party tested for contaminants and purity.  These natural qualities allow for increased absorbability into your blood stream for maximum health benefits.  AthleticGreens.com

Train with Jillian Michaels
This fitness App is AMAZING.  You basically get a personal trainer in your pocket.  Jillian is very inspirational and makes her workouts interactive, easy to follow and as fun as working out can be.  She also includes meal plans and tools to track your progress like bluetooth compatible heart rate monitors.  Fitness apps that have progress tools are so important in order to keep you on track.  I use this App as a journal of sorts, so I can go back and see if I need to tweak anything to achieve my goals.  You can even swap out exercises to personalize your workouts.  The coolest thing is that when you increase or decrease the intensity of your workouts Jillian will actually respond and you can also pick your music and match the tempo to the pace of your workout!  There are over 550 unique exercises that all include an HD video to help improve your form.  JillianMichaels.com


Insight Timer
Insight timer is a completely free meditation app that you can download through your apple store or google play.  I found this app less than a month ago and have been using it daily ever since.  There are over 3 million meditators currently using the app and over 7,500 free guided mediations. You can also join groups with other meditators discussing various topics such as spirituality and emotional support.  You can choose between guided mediations, talks covering a range of topics or just listen to relaxing music.  If you only get one thing out of this post, it should be that you download Insight Timer right now. 



Natural Skin Care and Beauty

Natural Beauty
Pellu uses premium botanical actives and other ingredients with proven skin benefits.  Immediately after using their products, I began to see clearer more radiant skin on my face and neck.  I recommend starting with their 3 step skin care system.  You can choose your specific skin type; oily, combination, dry or very dry.  The set includes a cleanser, toner and moisturizer.  This combination of products helps cleanse skin while improving wrinkles, decreasing redness and discoloration, restoring moisture, suppleness and a healthy glow.  My favorite product from PELLU is their overnight radiance renew cream.  After using the renew cream, you wake up with a brighter complexion, firmer skin and, over time, decreased wrinkles and dark spots.  The plant cells of damas rose and daffodils help calm and soothe skin while you sleep. There are absolutely no parabens, no harsh chemicals, GMO free and never tested on animals. Use Code: DRSUZHEALS at checkout for 20% Off your Entire Order of Pellu Products.

Cooking At Home-Healthy Kitchen Gadgets

Veggie Spiralizer
These make it so easy to cut vegetables.  The Bella Hands Free Spiralizer, creates strands of zucchini, cucumber, potatoes and more. Use your twirled veggies as a substitute for regular pasta in stir-fry and Italian dishes.   

Salad Chopper
Toss and chop your salad with just one simple tool.  Turn any salad into a delicious chopped dish with the Trudeau Toss and Chop Salad Tongs. Simply throw your fixings such as kale, cucumbers and peppers in a serving bowl and the scissors will cut all the vegetables at once without damaging the bowl.  


Portable Outdoor Pizza Oven
Make healthy homemade pizza right in your backyard with this portable pizza oven from cuisinart.  Whip up a low carb cauliflower pizza crust or purchase an already made crust and add your favorite toppings.  Such a great idea for easy pizza making during the week or to impress your friends with freshly made pizza when they come over for dinner.  

Vitamix Blender
This one blender can do so many things.  Of course, you can make your smoothie but this is so much more.  Variable speed control allows you to refine every texture, from the chunkiest salsa to the smoothest purees. You can chop ingredients and even knead dough with the pulse feature.  Preparing recipes from scratch is so much quicker and easier with the Vitamix Blender.  


 
Wellness Products

Dry brushing
Just like your hair, your skin also needs some self-care.  Get yourself a natural bristle brush and detox your body in 5-minutes or less with this natural remedy. You will also help reduce cellulite, exfoliate dead skin, and aid in removal of toxins from the body.  I love to use an all natural hydrating oil and serum while dry brushing in order to get smoother strokes and increased benefits.  

Neck Saviour
This product has been a complete lifesaviour!  I have been dealing with TMJ pain, headaches and neck pain for several years.  After only a couple of 10-15 minute sessions with the neck saviour, I had decreased muscle tension and pain.  This device stretches the neck to help reduce pain.  It also relieves headaches, is a spinal alignment corrector, a posture tool and a Pilates and yoga aid.  Stretching the neck is known as traction and is a treatment often used by therapists to help relieve symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, muscle spasm, tension headaches and others.  Since using the neck saviour, my need for pain medication has been significantly reduced. That is what wellness is about, reducing the need for over the counter and prescription medications and preventing chronic medical conditions.  

CBD Oil Products
 CBD oil products . There has been a recent increase in the use of CBD oils, supplements and other wellness goods. CBD hemp oil is made from high-CBD, low-THC hemp, unlike medical marijuana products, which are usually made from plants with high concentrations of psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Because hemp contains only trace amounts of THC, these hemp oil products are non-psychoactive.  
CBD wellness products help decrease anxiety, reduce pain and inflammation and can relieve painful period cramps.  If you are looking for CBD infused with essential oils for pain, massage therapy or CBD infused chocolates, ghee, coconut oil and other edible treats look no further!  I recommend checking out Blue Ridge Hemp Co.  This company has some amazing products that are simple and easy to incorporate into your life.  Another company I recommend for CBD tinctures, topical lotions and CBD gummies (yes gummies!) is McGowan Medical (10% Off Code: DRSUHEALS).  You need to sign up in order to shop but it is definitely worth it to receive e-mails with discounts and information.  The owner is great and will help you with whatever you need.  


Alkaline Water Filters and Bottles
Clean water is so important and these filters and water bottles from Invigorated Living are perfect!  Did you know that increasing the alkalinity of your body can reduce acidity and disease causing inflammation?  These filters can actually help aid in weight loss, slow down the aging process, improve hydration, increase energy and mental clarity.  Optimize your health and wellbeing by making sure to get enough CLEAN water every day.  Invigorated Living water bottles are great for traveling and you have the option of the glass water bottle which is eco-friendly and comes with a bamboo lid and convenient carry handle.  5% Off Code: CUSTOMER5 at checkout.
