Wellness Brands I’m Obsessed With
I have been on a transition journey to clean up my products to non-toxic and clean. As consumers, we often brush off any warnings of toxic products since we feel like they don’t directly apply to us. However, more times than often you are probably suffering from some type of side effects from having so much exposure to toxins and microplastics. For me, it manifested in a ton of brain fog and fatigue to the point that I thought that was normal, I would often have to take Adderall just to try and focus at work. I have since made small changes such as cutting off fragrances from cleaning products and skincare, using glass Tupperware instead of plastic, and cooking with stainless steel pots instead of nonstick. I have seen huge improvements in my health and these are the brands that helped me get there. These brands not only prioritize the well-being of their customers but also advocate for environmental sustainability and ethical sourcing and of course have been integral to my wellness journey.
Kroma Wellness:
Kroma Wellness embodies the essence of holistic wellness, offering a range of products designed to nourish both the body and the mind. My close ones know how obsessed I am with their beauty matcha, I used to dislike matcha so much for its taste but this is the best-tasting one I’ve had to this day. It’s so delicious it literally feels like I’m having a treat. It also has ginger and turmeric which is so good for inflammation, grass-fed bovine collagen for your hair, nails, and skin. Ok let me tell you guys that my nails were always so thin that they would break as soon as they got a little long and after taking this matcha for a while, I have literally never seen my nails grow so strong before. Not to mention that it has 6g of protein per scoop and that is always nice for macros. Obviously, the matcha is my all-time favorite but I’m also a huge fan of their broths, porridge, and cookie butter. Additionally, I always have in stock their electrolytes cranberry elixir, spicing up your water is so important these days so you can get all your minerals but also this one has Magnesium and Vitamin C which is a huge plus.
Cymbiotika:
Cymbiotika takes nutritional supplementation to the next level with their innovative, bioavailable formulations. It is my absolute favorite supplement company just because each product is meticulously researched and tested to ensure maximum effectiveness. I have done soooo much research on the effectiveness of supplements and let me tell you guys, the supplement industry has almost no regulation so they can literally add anything from microplastics to toxins. Cymbiotika is not only clean but they source the best ingredients (not really found anywhere else) and throw it in a capsule. My all-time favorite is their Magnesium L-threonate, this form of magnesium is the only one that penetrates the brain barrier assuring the best quality sleep and better brain function. My other favorites are their creatine, mineral shilajit, and their Liposomal Vitamin B12 + B6.
Branch Basics:
Branch Basics redefined the concept of clean living with their line of non-toxic cleaning products. Utilizing the power of plant-based ingredients, their formulas effectively clean without harmful chemicals or harsh fumes. I have everything from their line and I can say using this has been one of my most important steps to eliminating toxins in my house.
Paleovalley
I like paleo valley because of the nutrient-dense, whole-food snacks. This brand has a commitment to using only the finest organic ingredients, they are free from synthetic additives and fillers. Their grass-fed beef sticks are literally so delicious and they have a good amount of protein. It’s my favorite snack when I’m out hiking or on a road trip.
Toups and Co:
If you haven’t heard of all the beef tallow hype, then you’re about to. I’m currently obsessed with beef tallow because it has been probably the only product that my skin just naturally embraces. Beef tallow is literally just fat you’re rubbing on your face, natural, not formulated, and rich in moisture. For the first time in my life, I was able to achieve glass, glowy skin and it’s literally because of this. You can get beef tallow balm anywhere, I usually grab some at my local farmers market but Toups and Co. curated a collection of beef tallow products that are so amazing. Each product is thoughtfully crafted using only natural ingredients with an emphasis on transparency and sustainability. Their original tallow balm and deodorant are my favorite.
Kion:
I can rave about Kion amino acids forever because they are just so good. I went down a rabbit hole researching the benefits of amino acids especially when you train your body. This brand is dedicated to optimizing performance and well-being. My absolute favorite is their mango-flavored aminos.
