High-Speed Blender
Our favourite (and most-used) kitchen tool makes healthy eating so EASY!
I love the timed smoothie preset that goes through different speeds and automatically switches off once the smoothie is ready.
We own this Designer 625 model in Polar White. The designer in me loves the white and bright appliances as they are stylish enough to adorn your countertop.
Food Processor
Another work horse in our kitchen. We love to cook but we don’t like having all sorts of single-use appliances taking up space.
We resisted getting a food processor for a long time…opting to use our high speed blender instead. The truth is, finally getting a food processor was so helpful. Now we can make pesto, ice cream, falafels, veggie burger mix and cauliflower rice etc. so much quicker and easier.
We also waved the white flag on cutting up veggies manually and started shredding our cabbages and running our potatoes and sweet potatoes etc. through the processor for the perfect slice every time.
High Speed Blender
Old faithful! We started out with a Vitamix blender and we loved it. When we went to live overseas, we bought a Blendtec. There are features that I like on both blenders, specifically the speed control on the Vitamix.
If you already have a Vitamix, you can now get a Blendtec jar to fit the Vitamix. The Blendtec jar is wider overall, making it a little easier to empty out and clean.
Overall, you can’t go wrong with either the Vitamix or the Blendtec if you are in the market for a high-speed blender.
Organic Zinc Sulfate
We take zinc daily as it is a critical part of reducing our viral load and keeping us well.
“Responsible for all of the over 2000 chemical functions of the liver, including the creation of your liver in the womb and the development of your liver as you grew and reached adulthood. The liver stores an abundance of zinc because it knows people are zinc deficient, in part due to the lack of it in the food we eat. Without zinc, you liver can’t perform its functions that protect your whole body, so despite its zinc storage, you liver always needs more, because the zinc output needed to respond to the mental and physical demands upon us is high.
The onslaught of viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens in particular drains our zinc reserves. One specific purpose of zinc reserves is to eliminate toxic forms of copper that are always high inside the liver and that can cause the organ harm. If someone is so zinc deficient that even the liver’s zinc reserves have dropped to a dangerous level, that person can develop a host of viral-related autoimmune diseases.”

Cleanse to Heal
It’s no secret that we can’t escape much of the environmental toxicity we are exposed to in our world these days. While many of the exposures are beyond my control, what I found truly empowering was to learn how I can minimize the harmful effects by maximizing and managing the gentle elimination of these toxins out of my body on a daily basis.
This book is packed full of information, delicious recipes and specific supplements for all manner of conditions and symptoms. If I can heal from a chronic condition myself, I want to know how and, in my experience, everyone I know that has read and used the information from this book has benefitted greatly in their own way. I love that it is very individually tailored because I don’t believe that one size fits all when it comes to diet, supplements and healing protocols. Happy healing!
Juicer
This is a slow, “masticating” juicer, which means that it literally chews the fruits and vegetables to extract the juice. The low speed preserves the living enzymes, vitamins and minerals so you get all the benefits of the juice.
I personally like that it’s easy to clean with only a couple of parts, independent of the motor, that need rinsing after you’re done!
Liver Rescue
I mean the title says it all…
“Answers to Eczema, Psoriasis, Diabetes, Strep, Acne, Gout, Bloating, Gallstones, Adrenal Stress, Fatigue, Fatty Liver, Weight Issues, SIBO & Autoimmune Disease.”
One of the most vital truths in my life is that I’ve come to believe that a diagnosis doesn’t have to be a life sentence. I truly believe in harnessing the healing power of our bodies and I’ve experienced it first-hand and witnessed friends do the same. Our bodies want to be healthy. Healing is possible with the right tools and mindset and that is so exciting to me.
Everything clicked for me when I found Medical Medium. This particular book is packed with helpful information, suggested solutions, specific supplements and recipes that make it easy to put into practice and move towards healing from the inside out!
Life-Changing Foods
I love referencing this book for new and creative ways to enjoy fruits and vegetables. I devour the information and the healing recipes!
Thyroid Healing
I know many people struggling with thyroid issues. After pregnancy, my own thyroid hormone levels were all over the place. Luckily, my endocrinologist wanted to wait it out rather than prescribe medication and I’m so glad we did. My levels resolved eventually.
Fast forward a few years and I became aware through some testing that Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) was detected in my system. I only saw this when I requested to see my medical chart for myself. I had just seen something recently about EBV and when I went back to that post, it was from the Medical Medium. Intrigued, I bought the book and it was life-changing for me. All the symptoms I had been experiencing for years and years finally made sense and I felt empowered that I could help myself.
I recommend this book to everyone…not just those visibly suffering with thyroid issues. The information is relevant to everyone and you’ll see why when you dive in.
Medical Medium
We advocate for everyone to be the leader of their own health care team. To me, this means working alongside my doctors and constantly asking questions and seeking, reading and learning information so I can understand what’s happening and make informed decisions about the course of action I wish to take. I can honestly say that after years of searching and visits to countless doctors over the years, I finally found answers in The Medical Medium series. This book is the first in a series, brimming with information about the root causes of chronic illness and how to FINALLY heal. We feel so empowered. We use the knowledge and incorporate the healing practices on a daily basis and enjoy all the delicious and creative recipes from his books regularly.
Liquid Vitamin B12
B12 is part of our daily routine. It is best absorbed under the tongue (sublingually) so we use this liquid B12 from Vimergy because it combines the two most bioavailable forms of B12: Adenosylcobalamin and Methylcobalamin.
The 115ml bottle is the best value and serves the whole family.
Not all supplements are created alike and often contain preservatives and fillers etc. that are problematic.
