Hello community!
I have not wanted to show my face much on social media. I have been feeling quite vulnerable and insecure lately with our traveling and not having a “home”. I have always been a homemaker and not a big adventurer to say the least so this journey is hard for me. I do love being creative and posting videos and thank you all for your engagement…it keeps me company!! :)
A couple of exciting things this week still…here’s what you can find in this email:
The response we've received from our Women's Wellness Gift Guide has been so incredible! We really wanted to make it easy for you to find healthy and mindful gift ideas for your loved ones! We also decided to separate our men's, kid's, and pet's gift guides so we can go into as much depth as we did on our women's!
The men's will be coming later this week or early next week, and the kids to follow!
Gold Chocolate is a superfood alternative to hot chocolate and the taste literally blew me away!!! It is the most delicious blend of Ayurvedic herbs, medicinal mushrooms, and organic cocoa. With 12 organic superfoods and adaptogens and only 1 gram of sugar, this is a super healthy option to add to your nightly ritual!
In case you want to stock up, when you buy 3 tubs, you get a free frother through 11/4.
We're also excited to offer you an additional 5% off subscription orders of Gold Chocolate and Gold Pumpkin Spice when you use our NEW code ANGIF. This brings your total discount on subscriptions to 20%! Currently, this only works for these two products, but we are working on it for other products as well! For non-subscription orders, you can use our code ANGI for 20% off!
We get asked about these literally every week, and a few days ago they released a limited amount of their small and mini pads.
These heating pads are incredible! With full spectrum infrared heat and natural jade stones to generate negative ions and grounding therapy, there is no better heating pad to reduce pain, increase circulation, reduce muscle spasms and cramps, enhance the immune system, and more.

A few weeks ago in this newsletter we broke down some of the first steps you can take to improve your health.
But, if you're already struggling with ANY chronic conditions, gut troubles, low energy, skin issues, mental health conditions, etc, or just want to truly optimize your mind and body, getting to the root of the problem and working with an Integrative Health Practitioner is the best possible thing you can do.
There are countless root causes of "dis-ease" in the body, and we are all bio-individual. Figuring out which of these root causes is holding you back is an essential part of healing.
Potential Root Causes:
So how can you figure out which is your biggest problem and how to approach it?
Get some functional testing done! Functional lab tests are incredible for getting to the root of the problem.
They are all done via hair sample, urine, saliva, and sometimes a finger prick, but can all be done from home!
We've partnered with an amazing company that allows you to order these lab tests online, take the tests at home, and receive a FREE consultation with an Integrative Health Practitioner to read the results and help you decide on your next steps towards addressing whatever you find!
What's an Integrative Health Practitioner and why do we recommend them?
Integrative Health Practitioners combine 7 integrative disciplines from around the world. They look at the body as a whole, and look at addressing the root of our issues, as opposed to treating symptoms.
They combine Ayurvedic Medicine, Functional Medicine, Bioregulatory Medicine, Chinese Medicine & Herbalism, Eastern Philosophy, Traditional Naturopathy, Orthomolecular Medicine, as well as Nutrition, Exercise, and Lifestyle Medicine to create a program that's truly specific to you and your needs.
Which functional lab test is right for you?
The best way to get a full view of what's happening in your body is to go for what's called the Big 5 Lab Bundle. These 5 labs give you a complete view and don't leave anything out! When you order the Big 5 labs, you receive a free 90-minute coaching call with an IHP.
If you can only invest in one test, we have broken them down below to help you decide which makes the most sense for you. Each of these individual tests comes with a 30 minute health coaching call with an IHP.
Big 5 Labs: Includes the HTMA(Mineral & Metals Test), OAT(Candida, Metabolic, & Vitamins Test), Omega-3, Food Sensitivity, and Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test. This is a great place to start if you want to get the full view of your internal environment.
Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test: Absolutely the go-to lab to find out how your body is functioning from the inside out! With over 75 biomarkers, you will learn about your digestive function, mood and energy metabolites, yeast overgrowth, protein synthesis, mineral metabolism, vitamin markets, and much more! If you're having gut issues, skin issues, energy issues, etc this is a GREAT first test to take!
Food Sensitivity Testing: Food sensitivities cause chronic inflammation, leaky gut, skin issues, energy issues, and a host of other problems in the body! This test goes through 190 common foods!
Stress(Hormone), Mood & Metabolism Test: This test measures your levels of thyroid, adrenal output, and hormones. It measures cortisol at 4 times of day, which is important when looking at how to optimize your sleep, stress levels, and overall nervous system function. An incredible lab for anyone struggling with sleep, hormone regulation, chronic stress, low energy, and more!
Mineral & Metals Test: This test is INCREDIBLE! It measures your minerals, heavy metals, and oxidation rate. You'd be amazed how important minerals and mineral ratios are. Definitely one of our top 3.
Female or Male Hormone Test: If your sex hormones are out of balance, it can really impact your day-to-day life and overall health!
Mind & Body Neurotransmitter Test: When neurotransmitters are out of balance the body may be over or under stimulated -- which can trigger a range of neurological or psychological challenges.
Gut Bacteria & Parasite Test: Find out what types of parasites you have in the gut, as well as H. Pylori, yeast, digestion markers, inflammation markets, and more! If you have gut issues, this or the Complete Candida test above are your best options.
Stress, Sleep, and Hormones Test: Measures Estradiol, Progesterone, Testosterone, DHEAS, Cortisol(4 times of day) and other rations. Similar to the Stress hormone test above, but without the thyroid markets.
Mold Toxicity Test: Find out how much of a problem toxic mold is for you!
Environmental Toxicity Test: This test shows you your total toxic load! With over 77,000 man made chemicals in our environment, there is no question your body is harboring toxins, the question is how heavy of a load you're carrying. The IHP can then help you reduce your toxic load!
Omega 3 & Inflammation Test: By far the most important test when looking at heart health and inflammation. Measuring your Omega 3, Omega 6, and important ratios, this test can tell you your risk of heart disease, as well as give you crystal clear instructions on how to lower your risk and reduce inflammation.

If you order a test, make sure to create an account. They have an amazing rewards program towards free products!
I get asked daily for products that support the skin. I'm really excited about Qualia Skin because it has all the same ingredients as Organifi Glow (which you know I LOVE but is currently out of stock until next summer), plus much more! It’s not as fun as mixing up a raspberry lemonade…but it’s only 3 capsules and you can take it with Organifi greens or reds and get incredible results like with GLOW!
It combines skin-healthy plant pigments, superfruit extracts, herbs, antioxidants, minerals, and biotin to feed the skin from the inside in order to support firmness & elasticity, hydration & moisturization, glow & vibrancy, and resilience & strength.

A quick mention…as we near the end of October and Breast Cancer Awareness month, we wanted to quickly touch on a very easy but incredibly important health swap you can make to help prevent Breast Cancer.
Making the switch to NON-TOXIC deodorant, and away from the toxic store bought brands.
Our armpits are one of our bodies lymph dump areas…and when you use toxic deodorants, those toxins soak straight into the tissues around the breast.
This goes for men too! We are so honored to partner with the cleanest deodorant we have found...Primally Pure, because of their incredible non-toxic deodorants for men and women using organic essential oils for scent with NO “FRAGRANCE”. I will do a story and show you on IG…but these deodorants really work!!
For the rest of October, Primally pure is donating 10% of deodorant proceeds to three different Breast Cancer Prevention Organizations.
