We follow Living Libations recommendations for oral care. Founder, Nadine Artemis, wrote Holistic Dental Care and Renegade Beauty - both epically informative and game-changing. She recommends an 8-step oral self-care practice (it goes quickly once you get the hang of it).

This electric toothbrush is helpful for the polishing step of your oral care. In the video, Nadine recommends you avoid the gum line and focus on polishing the actual teeth for this step.

When a recipe calls for regular sugar, we love monk fruit sweetener as we can substitute 1:1 for regular refined sugar. Sometimes we even cut the recommended quantities in a recipe in half as monk fruit sweetener is naturally sweet!

Monk Fruit is natural so this is not an artificial sweetener. It scores ‘0’ on the glycemic index, keeping blood sugar levels stable. It has zero calories, zero carbs and zero questionable after-taste. In our books, all benefits without the drawbacks.

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.”

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!

Another staple in our Dwellness tool kit. I think I actually may love my neti pot! Let’s just say, we have been through thick and thin together! [groan :)]

When I pour the salt into the pot, I also add 1-2 drops of tea tree oil and/or rosemary oil before adding the warm water. I shared this trick with my sister and she said it was a game-changer.

I use it regularly to keep my sinuses clear. I’ve only ever had one sinus infection while traveling in a remote country. Thankfully, I had my neti pot and essential oils on hand to relieve my symptoms while I recovered without any need for medication.

Our skin absorbs everything - good and bad. If you or your child have ever experienced irritation and itchiness after swimming in chlorinated water, enter SwimSpray.

Vitamin C neutralizes the chlorine on your body – eliminating the residual chlorine that can damage and irritate your hair and skin. It’s beneficial for everyone, whether you experience irritation or not.

SwimSpray is 100% natural, fragrance-free, sulfate-free, and free from artificial colours.

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!

I love referencing this book for new and creative ways to enjoy fruits and vegetables. I devour the information and the healing recipes!

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.

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.

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.

This particular one is Certified USDA ORGANIC - Organic, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Kosher, Vegan & Paleo Friendly.

Proper elimination posture, a.k.a squatting, makes all the difference. Enter the Squatty Potty. It’s not just a gimmick but a tried and tested solution. “The stool for better stools!” LOL

This one offers form and function and its innovative design means that you can choose the optimal height for you.

P.S. Watch this [hilarious] video explaining how it works. You’re welcome.

Coat your throat and arm your body's first line of defense - a great addition to the immune-boosting tool kit.

There is a version for children too that we have used for our son. We have found it offers great relief from a scratchy, dry throat and facilitates fast healing without the need for medicine.

The "cleanest" on-the-go wipes we've found (and still use when traveling etc.!)

No harmful chemicals, no alcohol, no fragrance.

An empowering guide to oral self-care - cavities, fillings, extractions, braces, root canals etc. don't have to be a part of life!

From this book, I learned how to care for my own mouth, teeth and gums without the use of conventional practices and products.

Understanding more helped me to find the right professional to work with for check-ups. I have also learned how to advocate for myself and how to ask the right questions.

I have since had my two mercury fillings safely removed by a holistic/biological dentist and worked to establish and maintain a healthy oral microbiome myself. I got out of the cycle of inevitable decay and treatments and even found that at my check-up, I was not referred for a cleaning because I didn’t need it!

This is a quick, easy read to gain a wealth of knowledge to benefit you and your family. Definitely a resource I reference regularly.

The Diva Cup changed my life over twelve years ago.

No more toxic tampons or pads and talk about a money - and planet - saver! There are two sizes - Model 1 (as shown) or Model 2.

Model 1 is recommended for women under age 30 or who have never given birth; however, in my personal experience, I purchased Model 2 after having given birth but felt that Model 1 was still a better fit for me so it’s going to come down to the individual. I am now over 30 and 7 years postpartum and continue to use Model 1.

Since the sun is the best source of vitamin D, it seems only natural that vitamin D is best absorbed through the skin.

When we can't get outside or the Vitamin D levels are low in our part of the world, this topical crème is the next best thing!

Tip: You can use the D Minder app to track optimal timing for getting Vitamin D from the sun in your area. This will also help you to know when you need to supplement with this cream most.

The Body Ecology Diet was one of my stops along my evolving path to learning what was right for me and my family.

As you become the expert of your own body, this book offers a wealth of information on gut health, rebuilding immunity and balancing your microbiome for optimal wellness.
