Nutrition that goes a long way: AlgaeI'm super picky about what I recommend. But guess what?
I stumbled upon something seriously awesome. Algae tablets!
I didn't realize how much nutrition is packed into these little pieces of food. Actual, pure food. NOT a supplement. Yet these little guys will NOT break your fast, and they WILL help curb the hunger while giving you a good dose of nutrition!
I use both the spirulina and the chlorella (evening for detoxing! But you can use them all day long, too).
So, if you're up for leveling up your nutrition game every day, give 'em a shot. It's like a little health secret that's too good not to share!

BEST + MOST AFFORDABLE INFRARED SAUNA & RED LIGHT THERAPY
To say I LOVE my infrared sauna with red light therapy is an understatement. You'll find me in my cocoon of warmth and renewal nearly every day for 30-50 minutes. I jones when I don't get into it before or after a workout.
The clinical proof abounds for the health benefits of this type of sauna and red light therapy.
Want one for yourself? Or want to grab the top PEMF mat out there, which also comes with red light therapy and a TENS unit for muscle stim?
My fave brand for all this -- and also the most affordable infrared sauna I have found (that is also FDA-approved, backed by incredible research, and the company makes it a priority to ensure the materials used reduce toxic burden and/or do not add to it) -- is Therasage.
And yes - the brand also now offers COLD PLUNGE therapy with their new TheraFrost -- the most advanced portable cold plunge system with a unique cooling system that bursts ozone into your water for purity.
