7) Fiber Boost
Did you get your fiber today? This is a common struggle for most people! Long ago we ate up to 100 grams of fiber a day! Today most Americans get less than 15g. Eating tons of whole foods is a great way to boost your fiber intake but if you are like me and aim for more, this daily fiber boost really does the trick! By using this daily I am able to hit my goal of 40-50 grams of fiber a day! Giving you 12 grams of fiber, nearly half the daily requirement, derived from grains, fruit and vegetables. This flavorless, soluble fiber can be added to all foods and beverages, including Chocolate or Vanilla Protein Shakes. This would make a GREAT stocking stuffer! Click HERE to shop!
Magnesium was never intended to be pulverized, powdered, run down a conveyor belt, and compacted into a pill. Studies have shown that less than 1% of oral magnesium is taken up by the body. Large doses of oral magnesium can also cause digestive problems. Oral magnesium supplements have the added disadvantage of decreasing your bodies ability to uptake nutrients from your food. Ingesting isolated magnesium separates the magnesium from its cofactors proving to be very damaging to your digestive system.
Consider taking the magnesium soak 30 day challenge to optimize your magnesium levels! Use the code lean10 for an even bigger discount off your order!

Sweating is good for you. Sweating is one of the body’s safest and most natural ways to heal and maintain good health. And that’s why saunas are specifically designed to promote a deep, healthy and naturally detoxifying sweat.
“Detoxification is important because it strengthens the body’s immune system and helps the body’s biochemical processes function efficiently so that we are better able to digest the nutrients in our foods. Detoxification has also been shown to be helpful with weight loss, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, auto-immune disease, immune deficiency states, autism, ADD and ADHD.”
If you are looking to invest in an at home system, then give Sunlighten Saunas a look! More info about their products here! Not looking to make that kind of investment? Do a quick google search for infrared saunas in your area! Many locations sell packages you could buy for someone on your Christmas list!
4) Smart Watch
Technology can help you and your health in so many ways! There are so many great smart watches on the market to help you track your sleep, your steps, your workouts and more! I prefer my Oura ring because I just don’t need one more thing to charge daily BUT I polled my clients and their top recs were an apple watch or a fitbit versa or surge! So many love the apple watch! It seems to be user friendly and easy to navigate. Many mentioned closing the daily health rings as addicting in a good way! Another big hit was the fitbit versa. The Versa will give you that extra push you need to get going each day. Versa 2 uses heart rate, guidance and insights to help you reach your goals. Click HERE to shop!
