In case you’re in the market for some inspiration as to what to add to the wish list or, if you need to buy for someone else, I thought I’d jot down some of my all-time affordable favourites for making healthy living that bit easier. Use this holiday gift guide as a hint or to buy for someone you know who deserves a healing treat.
THINGS I OWN, USE AND LOVE (in descending price order)
COOK
Breville Food Processor – I use mine at least twice a day, every day
Excalibur Dehydrator – many hours of fun to be had with this – think fruits, veggies, jerky, leathers, wraps …
Inspiralized Spiralizer – the best out there, my previous brand broke on a rutabaga – not this one!
Lodge Cast Iron Skillet – healthy breakfast (and more)
Instant Pot – need I say more? Where would the AIP community be without this. You NEED one!
Amola Bacon or Truffle Salt – Vancouver-made heaven in a stylish black box
Lodge Cast Iron Reversible Griddle – cooking multiple things means no more cold food for the cook
Lodge Cast Iron Baking Platter – aluminium-free baking, roasting etc
Glass Dharma Straws – no toxic ingredients in these, unlike the pretty plastic ones
Great Lakes Grass-Fed Collagen – optimal healing for the gut, joints, skin, hair, nails and more
Gummy Moulds – in a multitude of different shapes and sizes
Kitchen Sprouting Kit – grow your own superfoods in a matter of days!
Sprouting Broccoli Seeds – massive nutrient density. Ten pounds of these hold the equivalent cancer-protecting compounds as 1/2 ton of mature broccoli
My ebook! – but of course!
LIVE
Rebounder – get those lymph glands doing some gentle detoxification
Heartmath – improve brain function, decrease stress levels. Because this is visual, your kids will use it too. Win-win!

EMF laptop Protection Pad – shield yourself and your loved ones from unnecessary dangerous exposure
Egyptian Magic Cream – cult, minimal and healthy ingredients make this wonder balm
Vagal Tone – switches the brain from sympathetic dominance to a parasympathetic (rest) state. This brain oil is in most NTPs’ toolboxes – it should be in yours too. Think better digestion!

Saje “Shut Eye” Eye Mask – the best I’ve tried for blocking out light
Amber Glasses – a more stylish take on the workman-like version we’re used to. It is the Holidays after all!
Cortisol Brakes – another one in the NTP toolkit, if you feel wired at all the wrong times you need this!
Go To Bed – Sarah Ballantyne’s ebook is guaranteed to get you into the land of nod
LEARN
Healing Hashimoto’s Summit – docu-series with all you need to know about autoimmune thyroiditis
