Healthy Holiday Gift Guide

When your health is a main priority, it can’t help but seep into every part of your life- including the holidays. Because after so long, health is no longer just a goal. It’s a lifestyle. Cliche, I know. But, if you’re reading this, you probably know exactly what I mean. While “health” looks different for everyone, I’m here to tell you it is still possible to stay healthy during the holiday season.

With that being said, I got to thinking: how can we prioritize and pursue “health” together this holiday season? Or, at the very least, honor and respect those who are doing so? Well, gifting “health” this year seemed like a good place to start.

Why Gift “Health?”

Gift giving during the holiday season isn’t simply about unwrapping boxes on Christmas morning, or receiving the “things” you really want. Hear me out: giving gifts during the holiday season is really about spreading joy, being generous, and showing love to those around us. So, if you or someone in your life is pursuing health/healing this year, gifting “health” is the most meaningful, joyful, and loving thing you can do. Giving the gift of health shows that you care about their passions, priorities, and most importantly, their well-being.

The question remains: how can you gift “health” this season? I have a few ideas for you. For every person in your life- the health foodie, beauty lover, fitness guru, and more- you can find gifts at every price point in my Healthy Holiday Gift Guide, below:

Healthy Holiday Gift Guide

 

Flying Cow Tallow

For the Beauty Lover [$30+]

I have been hooked on Flying Cow Tallow since earlier this year. It’s a clean, nontoxic product to moisturize, heal, and nourish your skin. I use the Coffee Bean scent every morning! But, I have to say the holiday scent, Vanilla Mint, is giving Coffee Bean a run for it’s money.

Flying Cow Tallow

Beauty Counter

For the Beauty Lover [$15+]

Beauty Counter makeup has been on my list for years, but I’ve yet to make the switch from $10 powder from Target. So, this year I’m asking Santa for gift cards to Beauty Counter. I’ve had my eye on their Flawless in Five package, which would also make for a great gift for the beauty lover in your life. 

Thrive Market Subscription

For the Healthy Foodie [starting at $5/month]

A Thrive Market subscription has also been on my wishlist for quite some time. It has all the best pantry goodies, foods, healthy products, and more at discounted prices! My favorite brands on Thrive include Simple Mills, Ancient Nutrition, Vital Proteins, and so many more. This year, gifting a subscription to the healthy foodie in your life is sure to be a win!

Active Wear from Old Navy

For the Fitness Guru [$25+]

Old Navy is my go-to for activewear and workout clothes. I still have 5 year old leggings from Old Navy that are in perfectly good condition! All their workout gear is comfortable, affordable, and great quality! Plus, you can get 3+ pairs of Old Navy leggings for the price of ONE Lulu Lemon leggings. Just saying.. ;)

Nutritional Therapy Package

For the Nutrition Obsessed [starting at $50]

Gifting Nutritional Therapy this season may just be the best idea, yet. With a virtual or in-person package, your loved one can receive a custom Nutritional Therapy protocol and heal their body from the inside out. I also offer monthly custom meal plans and personal training/nutritional therapy packages. So, there’s a little something for every need!

Ways to Prioritize Health During the Holidays

In addition to gifting “health” this year, there are other ways we can stay healthy during the holiday season:

  • Allergy-Friendly Recipes– There are endless allergy-friendly recipes available online- most of which you wouldn’t even know are “healthy.” Don’t hesitate to make your favorite allergy-friendly dish this year to share with your friends and family at your holiday celebration. These are some of my favorite healthy holiday treats: Paleo Pecan Cookie Dough Bites, One Bowl Coconut Chocolate Cookies, Cranberry Orange Chocolate Chunk Cookies, Paleo Chocolate Pecan Pie (this was a HUGE hit at Thanksgiving and we will for sure be making it for Christmas!), Paleo Apple Crisp, Healthy Pumpkin Pie Bars.
  • Unplug & Connect- This year, instead of being glued to the phones and devices, imagine a holiday where everyone unplugged. Once the phones are down, we have a unique opportunity to connect with our loved ones. Emotional connection (or lack thereof) plays a bigger role in our overall health than we may realize. So, making an effort to connect with those around us may just be the healthiest thing we can do this holiday season. 
  • Reason for the Season– I pray that in the midst of Christmas movies, white elephant gifts, and hot cocoa, we remember that Jesus is the real reason for the season. When Jesus is our focus for the holidays, every thing becomes less important- the gifts, food, decorations, etc. As a result, we can soak up all the joy of the season and reduce the added stresses and pressures of the holidays. Focusing on Jesus recanters our hearts and fills us with the joy that the season is truly about!

Alright, now you know what’s on my wishlist this year. So, tell me, what is on your “healthy holiday wishlist?” And how will you prioritize health this season?

Myth: self care is selfish.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I used to think self care was selfish. But as the years go by, I'm learning that self care is anything but. In reality, it’s one of the best things we can do to support a healthy mind and body!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's the truth: when we take care of ourselves, we can better take care of others. Taking it a step further, regular self care means:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Reducing stress⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Increasing happiness⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Supporting a healthy mind and body⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Becoming a better version of you⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And, who doesn’t want that?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, in a fast-paced world with little margin, putting time and money aside for "self care" can feel close to impossible! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, how do you know if you need to up your self-care game? Are you...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Agitated or anxious?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Quick to anger or impatience?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Depressed or unmotivated?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Run down or sick often?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If so, the answer is yes. You need a little more self care in your life! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily, self care doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming. These self care ideas are budget-friendly and easy to do at home! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, what's your favorite way to practice self care? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Coming back atcha with the nourishing food swaps! Coming back atcha with the nourishing food swaps! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We've gotten so backwards with our eating habits and diets, that most of us would consider nourishing foods to be "unhealthy!"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, I'm here to bust these common food myths and get you on the road to a nourished body 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today's focus: cooking oils! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next time you load up on cooking oils, you can walk right past the canola oil, sunflower oil, margarine, and olive oil. These oils are highly unstable, meaning they turn toxic at lower cooking temps. And you never want to cook with them! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead, opt for STABLE cooking oils, like coconut oil, ghee, grass-fed butter, or avocado oil! Not only do these cooking fats stay stable at higher cooking temps, but they also provide essential fat-soluble vitamins, energize your mind and body, and make your food taste so much better! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't believe me? Just try it for yourself and let me know how you feel + how much better your food tastes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Should you drink coffee or skip it?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IMO, coffee has unfairly gained a bad rap over the last couple years. Sure, it shouldn't be used as a crutch for energy, but it definitely doesn’t need to be ditched all together!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As with most things in life, coffee comes with it's boundaries. Outside it's boundaries, coffee can cause: gut distress, hormonal imbalance, adrenal fatigue, etc. I'm sure most of us have experienced the bathroom problems, jitters, and anxiety coffee CAN cause, which is why I think there's so much confusion around coffee.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, when is coffee a good thing? Within it's ground rules! 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Coffee Ground Rules:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Never drink coffee on an empty stomach. Without food, coffee creates a hormonal catastrophe. It spikes blood sugar and depletes adrenals, leaving you feeling exhausted later in the day and putting your body into a chronic state of stress.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Add grass fed, raw cream/butter, sugar, and/or collagen to your coffee- but only the real stuff! These REAL ingredients will help regulate your blood sugar and feed your adrenals. The worst thing you can do for your thyroid and adrenals is drink coffee black on an empty stomach!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Opt for high quality coffee that is third party tested. Most conventional coffee beans are packed with mycotoxins (aka mold) that isn’t healthy to consume. Looking for coffee that is third party tested helps ensure the quality and benefits of your coffee. Personally, I like Four Sigmatic, Bulletproof, and Illy coffee!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'd be lying if I said I didn't LOVE drinking my hot, frothy cup of coffee each morning. But since learning to enjoy it within it's limits, I've felt a HUGE difference. I'm no longer anxious or jittery because due to drinking black coffee on an empty stomach! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, tell me: did you know these coffee boundaries? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As promised, after a CRAZY few days, we’re back As promised, after a CRAZY few days, we’re back to our regular programming... Starting with adrenal fatigue! 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you suffering from this thing called “adrenal fatigue?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Unfortunately, most of us are dealing with a degree of adrenal fatigue- thanks to high stress lifestyles, processed diets, exposure to everyday toxins, etc.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even worse, most of these common symptoms are considered "normal” 🙅🏻‍♀️ And most of us just deal with them, thinking it'll never change. But we are so WRONG!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if I told you: you don't HAVE to live with brain fog, fatigue, low libido, insomnia, depression, and/or weight gain?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because it’s true!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you bring your body back into balance, these symptoms naturally dissipate, and once again, you can live with energy, vibrancy, and excitement!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you deal with these symptoms of adrenal fatigue, here's where you can start:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. SLEEP. Aim for 8 hours a night and prioritize sleep over workouts. Without adequate sleep, the adrenals will naturally suffer big time! If you have trouble sleeping, try eating a bedtime snack, eating foods high in magnesium, and blocking out blue light.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. EAT. No, 1,200 calories per day is NOT ENOUGH. Eat more balanced meals, about 3-4 hours apart. And, don't get me started on "low carb" diets. Your body needs carbs for energy, so do your adrenals! Eating now carb is the best way to put your body into a chronic state of stress.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. MOVE. Find a low intensity activity you enjoy (ie. walking, leisurely biking, roller skating) and do it several times a week. If you can get your movement in outside, that's even better. The sun is your best source of Vitamin D! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you suffer from any of these symptoms? What has your experience been with adrenal fatigue? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In case you missed it, Texas has been dealing with In case you missed it, Texas has been dealing with record breaking temperatures, snow fall, and power outages. *Photo is from day 1 before we knew just how crazy things were about to get!*
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After almost 24 hours without power and water, our water came back on and we’ve experienced intermittent power. I am SO THANKFUL to have a working stove, running water, and warm home. I know so many other Texans aren’t as lucky.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll be back next week to share about adrenal fatigue, coffee hacks, and more nourishing food swaps. But for now, will you join me in praying for Texas? Specifically for:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• the restoration of power and clean water ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• protection over families and homes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• quick provision over busted pipes and other house issues⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• warm food and drinking water⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As someone with a MAJOR sweet tooth, I definitely As someone with a MAJOR sweet tooth, I definitely understand the challenge of sugar cravings! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What about you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have a feeling most of us are a little too familiar with the challenge of sugar cravings. And if you're not, I don't think I believe you.. 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily, sugar cravings aren't JUST sugar cravings. They're a great indicator that our body needs some specific support! When I started listening to my body and feeding it the nutrients it needed, my sugar cravings practically disappeared. Sure, I still LOVE a delicious sweet treat, but it's no longer an insatiable craving. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you want to gain control over your sugar cravings, too?Here's where you can start:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Eat balanced meals with protein, carbs, and fat.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Focus on eating whole foods, instead of processed and packaged options.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Eat a meal or snack every 3-4 hours.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Drink water with a sprinkle of pink Himalayan salt or sea salt throughout the day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These tips will help regulate your blood sugar, meet your nutrient needs, and provide energy to your mind and body. As a result, you can expect to have LESS SUGAR CRAVINGS! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tag a friend who also has a major sweet tooth! 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Homemade cookies! I mean, is that even a question?!?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And these Copy Cat Hippie Chip Cookies are just what you're looking for. They’re a homemade version of the BEST cookie from my favorite hometown bakery. Since I no longer live there, I had to perfect this homemade version and I'd say it's pretty darn close. These cookies are chewy, chunky, and sweet & salty. The best kind of cookie, if you ask me! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, in case chewy cookies aren't your thing, I have other delicious and nutritious cookies on the blog, like Paleo Chocolate Chips Cookies and Pecan Chocolate Cookie Dough Bites!

Is your liver sluggish? 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀ Is your liver sluggish? 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fact of the matter is most of our livers could use a little extra love, thanks to poor diets, stressful lifestyles, alcohol and OTC drugs, and other environmental toxins.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fundamentally, a healthy liver is NEEDED for detoxing toxins, producing hormones and cholesterol (yes, you need cholesterol), storing and delivering nutrients, and providing glucose for fuel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, yeah. Healthy livers are important! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But how do we know if our liver needs some love? Common indicators include skin issues, frequent headaches, digestive upset from greasy/fatty foods, morning sickness, and pain in the upper right abdomen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily, there are many whole foods that naturally support a healthy liver! To give your liver a little extra love, include these liver superfoods in your diet:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Beets⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Dandelion root⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Bone broth⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Grass-fed liver⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Lemon ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today, do yourself a favor and love on your liver! ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
