What is worth the advertising campaign and what is not …
You know I like a good wellness gadget, especially when it really helps you feel better. I’ve tried a lot with the years – some were gamechangers, others … not so much.
There is so much noise in the world of the biological system right now that it may feel that you need a $ 10,000 setting only to have decent energy or sleep all night. SPOILER Notification: You don’t.
Here are some biological route products (and trends) that I think are completely overpriced – and what to do for real, sustainable results.
(it’s worth mentioning here my favorite Lumebox and the castor oil pack is not excessive)
The habits of biological
1. Taking a million supplements “just because”
If you’ve ever examined someone’s supplementation shelf and thought, “Should I get more?” – You’re not alone. But loading in random pills for no clear reason can burden your liver, drain your wallet and possibly worse the symptoms.
Many of us get the things that our bodies do not even need – or cannot absorb properly – because we saw someone in Tiktok recommend it.
Try this instead:
Get the operating tests first. This could include minerals, bowel health, inflammation, hormones and food sensitivities. I do this with my customers 1: 1, and it changes everything. You will save money and get better results by supporting only what your body really needs. The test removes speculation. If you are interested in leanring more, email me to gina@fitnessista.com.
2.
Cold sinks are everywhere now. While they may have some benefits (such as reduced inflammation and increased durability), Are not suitable for everyone, Especially women who deal with hormonal imbalances, adrenal fatigue or autoimmune flares.
If your nervous system is already running on Overdrive, jumping in a ice water bathroom can only emphasize it.
Try this instead:
Start slowly. Try a short cold shower at the end of your hot shower or finish with a dip cold water on your face. Focus on nervous system regulation – think of breathing, gentle movement and sleep priority. Then, if your body feels ready, gradually enter cold exposure. Also exposure to heat, Like my favorite sauna blanketIt can be a much better application !! I prefer heat over the cold.
3. Super Exact PEMF devices with wild claims
I love PEMF treatment and use the Supreme dose go mat regularly – It’s part of my morning routine. But some of the extremely expensive PEMF mats on the market promise everything, from complete healing to “reprogramming of your cells”.
Try this instead:
Find a well -revised, affordable PEMF device that fits your needs. Use it consistently and combine it with other healing tools such as red light therapy, grounding or journalism. This is not the most fantastic device. These are your habits. Use Fitnessista15 for 15% from the highest dose !!
4. Non -research mixtures
These “brain enhancement” powders and capsules may look cool on your shelf, but many are full of privately owned mixtures and stimulants with little real research behind them. In addition, if you are already running low sleep, I hate to say it, but a mushroom powder is not going to fix it.
Try this instead:
Support your brain of course: Take the sunlight in the morning, eat healthy fats and try the food-based tailors such as the lion’s mane, L-theanine or magnesium from reliable brands. The real energy begins with the foundations: sleep, blood sugar balance and hydration.
5.
The blue blockers at night are extremely useful. But are you wearing orange glasses all day? It is not useful. Your body needs blue light in the morning and early in the afternoon to support the energy, alertness and regulation of the circadian rhythm.
Try this instead:
Expos your eyes (no glasses or contacts) to natural light within 30 minutes of awakening. Even 5-10 minutes outside it helps to adjust your circadian pace, support cortisol balance and improve your sleep later that night. For the best blue light inhibitors you can use all day (just exchange lenses), I highly recommend Vivarays (Fitnessista code).
6.
I have used some trackers all these years, and here is the truth: if it causes more stress or it makes you obsessed over your “sleep score”, it probably doesn’t help. Sleep is more than justified. This is how you feel.
Try this instead:
Watch how relaxing you feel every morning and focus on creating a sleeping routine that we really look forward to: magnesium, stretch, book or sauna blanket. Trust your body more than your app.
7. 7,000 $ cold bathtub
I’ll say it again for people on your back: You don’t need luxurious ice bath to get the benefits of cold exposure. Cold treatment is stunning but a daily cold 60 second shower works just as well (and costs exactly $ 0)
Try this instead:
Use what you have. A bowl of icy water for your face, a cold rinse after your shower, or a cold DIY bathroom in the bathtub with some ice packages from the freezer. Bonus: It builds durability and can support the nerve of the lung.
Friendly reminder:
Biohacking is not to do everything or have all the fancy tools. This is the intentional with your habits, your energy and your health.
If something feels like adding anxiety, drain your wallet or confusing … it probably doesn’t help.
Start with the basics:
Quality sleep
Real food
Regulation of nervous system
Operational tests
Movement you love
Morning light
Carefully support
The most powerful biological are simple, consistent and sustainable.
Let me know if you have tried any of these trends or if there is one that you are curious – I am happy to try things so that you do not need it. 😉
