Well Hey! If you are anything like me, purchasing items I know my friends like or something my mentor found useful is always a thing. We like to spend money on things we know work, especially these days when we are all trying to save a buck.

So, I put together some of the most requested items I use in my own life and with my functional nutrition clients. I have linked the items along with how I use them or how I recommend them for context.

Do you have questions? Book a Wellness Consultation in our Offerings Page to get personalized recommendations.

Happy shopping!

Detox Help

For liver and thyroid support I love a good Castor Oil Pack. Castor Oil has been used by naturopaths for 100s of years as a topical remedy. The essential fatty acids, in particular the ricinoleic acid that castor oil contains, encourages movement of chemical energy within the body, resulting in a detoxifying effect. It has been reported that castor oil packing has many benefits to health. The health benefits include:

• More effective elimination of waste
• Reduction of nausea
• Pain relief
• Improved digestion
• Reduced inflammation
• Increased relaxation
• Immune enhancing benefits

Castor oil packs shouldn’t be used in pregnancy as you do not want to create a cleanse when someone is pregnant. They can be used in a pre-conception program with the aim of cleansing before conception takes place. 

You should also make sure that you are moving your bowels well when doing castor oil packs to ensure that whatever you are shifting is actually exiting the body.  They can also be used on other parts of the body but you must ensure you pack your liver at the same time and that you are using enemas to see that waste out of the body if you are not eliminating regularly.

A Secret Menu favorite Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy is thought to work by acting on the “power plant” in your body’s cells called mitochondria. With more energy, other cells can do their work more efficiently, doing things like repairing skin, boosting new cell growth and enhancing skin rejuvenation. More specifically, certain cells absorb light wavelengths and are stimulated to work.

Red light therapy may work in skin health to:

• Stimulate collagen production, which gives skin its structure, strength and elasticity.
• Increase fibroblast production, which makes collagen. Collagen is a component of connective tissue that builds skin.
• Increase blood circulation to the tissue.
• Reduce inflammation in cells.

More than Water-We need electrolytes

An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity when dissolved in water. Electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, are essential for a number of functions in the body.

Everyone needs electrolytes to survive. Many automatic processes in the body rely on a small electric current to function, and electrolytes provide this charge.

Electrolytes interact with each other and the cells in the tissues, nerves, and muscles. A balance of different electrolytes is crucial for the body to function.

Electrolytes are chemicals that conduct electricity when dissolved in water.

They regulate nerve and muscle function, hydrate the body, balance blood acidity and pressure, and help rebuild damaged tissue.

The muscles and neurons are sometimes referred to as the “electric tissues” of the body. They rely on the movement of electrolytes through the fluid inside, outside, or between cells.

The electrolytes in human bodies include:

• sodium
• potassium
• calcium
• bicarbonate
• magnesium
• chloride
• phosphate
