Gifts for the Healthy-Minded during the Holidays

It’s that time of year again when holiday shopping is in full swing and finding the perfect, one-of-a-kind gift is top priority. Whether some of these items have been on the holiday shopping list before or are brand new,  we present you with our roundup of our favorite holiday gifts for the healthy-minded–physically and spiritually.

For the Healthy Cook, Instant Pot programmable pressure cooker

“As Dr. Gold often says, home cooking is one of the quickest routes to healthier food and a healthier body. Preparing healthy and delicious meals takes time however, and in our busy lives, time is often in short supply. Reward your favorite cook (or yourself!) with the Instant Pot to simplify and speed up your meals. One of the only multi-cookers on the market with a stainless steel insert, you can avoid the dangerous PFOAs contained in the non-stick coating of most slow cookers or pressure cookers.”

For the Energized Exerciser, The Grid foam roller

Most people do not own one, but it’s so important for spinal hygiene and muscle release.

For the Focused Meditator , one-month membership to MNDFL Meditation

A beautiful and convenient space that will allow you to get into that meditation practice you have been meaning to try. 

For the All-in-one Online Shopper, Thrive Market yearly membership

Healthy food and natural products at wholesale prices. This online health market is my new favorite way to stock my pantry with all the healthy essentials while spending less.  Along with having all of my go-to brands at a discounted price (and some great new ones I have been introduced to), Thrive Market has the option to shop by diet, making it really easy for those who are gluten-free, paleo, vegan, etc.  They also have an abundance of household items, cosmetics, baby goodies and even pet supplies.

For the Yogi, Yoga Massage Balls

For a small rubber ball that fits in the palm of your hand, these things pack some power!  I have been using these massage balls over the past few months to relieve knots and tightness in my back and hips. They can be used during yoga practice or at home as part of your spinal hygiene program.
