Even if you look forward to the holiday season, there’s no denying that, for most of us, this time of year can also bring stress. This is especially true for the body, which cannot always distinguish between “good vs. bad” stress.
Between additional events in our already busy schedules, family conflict, preparation for wonderful celebrations, triggered memories, taking time off work (or not being able to)… emotions tend to pick up around this time of year..
We wanted to share a few of our Founders’ Favorite health routines and products to help you stay grounded throughout it all. These are a few of the things that help us be present and nourish our families throughout the holidays.
Hopefully, this list inspires you to create moments of peace during this busy time of year. Or, maybe you spot something that would make a perfect gift for a loved one!
Holiday wellness favorites from our founders
Ancient Nutrition Bone Broth Protein
This warm, mineral-rich supplement nourishes the gut and immune system. Add it to your smoothies or coffee, or simply mix with water for a soothing drink any time of day. Use your Fullscript discount through Faithfully Guided.
Estriol Face Cream
Estriol face cream is gaining popularity for its anti-aging benefits. This topical estrogen, derived from a mild form of hormone, helps improve skin elasticity, hydration, and overall texture by supporting collagen production. It helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more youthful and radiant complexion. Estriol cream offers a natural and effective way to enhance skin health. Ask your functional medicine provider whether this treatment is suitable for you.
Clevr Matcha & Teas
Enjoying a cup of matcha or other tea is one of our favorite daily rituals to help focus the mind and support nervous system healing. The blends at Clevr are adaptogenic, delicious, and perfect for slow mornings.
Taylor Dukes Hot Chocolate
This cozy, nutrient-packed version of a classic comfort drink supports both body and mood. It’s perfect for Christmas time!
Primally Pure Skin Products
We love scheduling at-home self-care throughout the holidays. These clean, non-toxic skincare products help our skin feel radiant and healthy even when the weather gets drier.
Gua Sha Facial Tool
Gua sha is an ancient beauty tool for lymphatic drainage and relaxation. Use it daily at home for a simple, intentional way to reconnect with your body.
Epsom Salt Soaks
Never underestimate the power of a simple epsom salt bath. It promotes relaxation, magnesium replenishment, and gentle detoxification. An excellent way to round out a busy week of holiday parties.
Three tips for cultivating meaningful moments this festive season
Some of the best ways to ground yourself are 100% free. All you need is your spirit, mind, and body. Recently, we were reminded of Dr. Sophia Godkin’s work on gratitude and self-compassion. Here are a few of our favorite ways to cultivate meaningful connections this season:
- Begin or end the day by naming three things you’re grateful for
- Take daily walks to breathe, pray, and notice beauty in the ordinary
- Gather for family sing-alongs, a simple way to share laughter and connection
We are reminded to move intentionally slower and savor during this time of year.
“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” ~Ephesians 4:2-3:
