My Favorite brands to shop during Black Friday 2023 sales
It's that time of the year— Black Friday/Small Business Saturday/ Cyber Monday/ Holiday Gift guide season. AS a small business, I am eternally grateful for any and all support that I receive from my readers, listeners and clients. Your support means the world.
I also re cognize that this time of year, you can be inundated with emails, advertisements and discounts. It can be exhausting while at the same time so beneficial. Personally, I use these sales as a time to stock up on goodies that I need for the next few months/ year to come.
I love preventative health and wellness. It is a cornerstone of my business and my own self care and chronic pain management. I also recognize that in this modern world it can be expensive and overwhelming. So in this blog post, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite health and wellness products and tools. Some of them I will have discount codes for and kick backs for you and some of them, I won't.
For my business, Live Good, Feel Good, I will be running a Black Friday sale For the second half of November. You will be able to receive discounts from November 15th- November 30th so you don't have to worry about waking up first thing on Friday to snag the latest deal.
My Favorite Health and Wellness Purchases
Gut Personal
I swear by Gut Personal Products and their program The Gut Fix. I went through The Gut Fix last September (2022) and I found out that I was sensitive to glute and was dealing with bacterial overgrowth. After, kid you not, YEARS of testing from doctors, I finally had an answer and a plan. I can now say over a year later, I can say that I feel better than I have since 2018. I can tolerate small amounts of gluten with no problem, I am no longer in pain after meals adn (most) bloating is a thing of the past.
On top of that, I use their products daily. The products I have on rotation are:
The Miracle Worker: If you told me I had to pick ONE GP product to use for the rest of my life, this would be it. I Swear by the Miracle worker for helping with my stress levels, improving my sleep and basically getting rid of my constipation. I do not go ANYWHERE without it.
The Healer: I used this A LOT during the beginning stages of my gut healing journey and now add it in as an adjunct from time to time
The Soother: I out this in my smoothies almost daily as a way to continue to support gut health. I also double down on it after a night of drinking or eating outside my norm
The Defender: I use this occasional when I feel like I am exposed to a lot or I feel a tickle in my throat
The Rescue: This is a an allergy prone person's best friend. Both Chris and I use this seasonally and love it.
I cannot say ENOUGH good stuff about Gut Personal. Use Code FEELGOOD For 15% all products And KERRY300 For $300 off Gut Testing through the Gut Fix.
Higher Dose
I found higher Dose in the Early days of my healing journey when I found that Infrared sauna signifincantly helped my fatigue and pain levels. At the time, I was paying for and traveling to a facility for an infrared sauna. It was great but also really limited as it didn't open until 10am and often I had to be at work WAY before then. Enter: Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket.
It was the perfect edition to my healing journey in my small Boston apartment and especially helpful when everything was shutdown in 2020 and I could no longer go to said facility. The common question I get is "Is it just as good as a real sauna?" And honestly, it is just as effective for me but ti does feel different.
I love my sauna blanket because it was cost effective, space effective and easy to use. The downsides is I find it takes a long time to get hot enough (for me) and only one person can use it at a time and you are... pretty stuck in it.
Higher Dose also makes a lot of other amazing products. My favorite being the PEMF mat. It's a grounding AND heating mat. I use it EVERY night before bed and not only do I sleep like a baby but my whole body loves it.
Shop Higher Dose and use Code FEELGOOD15 for 15% off anything! Higher Dose is also having a HUGE sale on all bundles— From November 13- November 17th Use Code HDBFCM for 20% off!
Queen of Thrones
I added the Queen of Thrones castor oil pack into my routine last year and it was a total game changer. I use it (almost) every night to and it help my hormonal health and sleep. As you might have gathered from everything I have managed upleveling and optimizing my sleep has been a HUGE priority for me in the past year. I bought Liver Oil Pack and Castor Oil (p.s. their castor oil quality is 10/10) as well as their pelvic oil pack.
A Liver Castor Oil Pack may help naturally support:
Liver detox, lymphatic drainage and colon cleansing
Hormone balance
Deep sleep and less stress
Constipation and bloating
Inflammation and leaky gut
As for the pelvic pack, the castor oil combined with gentle compression may help relax the nervous system, supporting:
Lymphatic flow and circulation around the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes
Fertility, fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis scars or adhesions
Hormone balance for period problems, postpartum and the transition through menopause
A castor oil pack is a simple, easy way to support your hormonal and overall health.

I am obsessed with LMNT. I have at least 1-2 a day and truly can feel the difference when I do not. I have found over the years that for me magnesium is a mineral that I am usually depleted in and when I add magnesium to my day t oday routine, I sleep better and have less dips in energy throughout the day. Between teaching hot yoga, hitting hte hiking trails and having and active job, top of the line hydration and electrolye balance is essentail for me. I have tried lots of different electrolytes

Tune Up Fitness
If you know me, you know I use Tune Up Fitness products ALL. THE. TIME. As a Physical Therapist, I prescribe the use of Tune Up Fitness balls for home exercise programs, relaxation and self care. I have a ton of youtube videos up on my channel with lots of my favorite roll outs. My personal favorites are the coregeous ball and the alpha ball— I take them traveling, to work and truly anywhere I go. They are key to me in taking care of my health, managing chronic pain and nourishing my nervous system.
Organic Olivia
This is one that I don't have a link or discount code for BUT I love their products so much for preventative health and wellness that I couldn't leave them out. Herbs have been an essential part of my healing journey and truly life changing for my personal health. I even have Chris hooked as well. Some of my favorites are:
Liver Juice
Spring Allergy Defense
Mane Magic (THIS STUFF is legit magic— my hair stylist was shocked with how much my hair grew and how healthy it was)
Focus Juice
I highly recommend checking out Organic Olivia this holiday season!
Fringe
This is a newer company whose products I have been using and Loving— I am even hoping to have someone from Fringe on the podcast soon. I started out using their CBD supplement and red light . If you follow me on instagram, you probably have seen my stories with the Fringe Red light featured. Every morning when I wake up I put my red light on while journaling and checking in. IT's been a great way to start my mornings especially with the longer nights. I have felt a significant difference in how my body feels and my energy levels since adding the red light in. I've had a lot of people asking me all about Fringe and I hope to share even more on the benefits of red light soon! Fringe is currently having a 25% OFF sale for black friday
The products I shared here are products that I truly use each and every day as an essential part of my health and wellness journey. In different ways each of these companies have played an essential role in my healing journey from extreme fatigue and burn out to chronic pain to intense menstrual cramps and pain flare ups.
I'll be honest, I have tried A LOT of different products, companies, techniques, tools and modalities in my healing journey. Not all of them helped and some of them were even a waste of money. The companies I featured here I use everyday and have played a significant role in my healing journey.
I hope they help you on your healing journey too
