My Personal Resources
Welcome to my personal resources page! This is where I’ll share my favorite products that my family and I use or that we recommend in our health practice. All of these products have been meticulously researched and reviewed to be clean and safe. With all of the toxins out there, we need to make the place we are living and spending most of our time as clean as it can be!
Please note: many of these links are affiliate links, so if you purchase any of these items through the links on this page, I may make a small commission that is used to help keep this website running – I will only link to products I personally use and support. Enjoy!

These are a Few of My Favorite Things!

Personal-Care Products.
“The average woman uses 12 beauty or skin products a day, that can contain over 168 different (toxic) chemicals”
-Scott Faber (EWG)
Supplements.
Everyone needs to supplement their diet with vitamins, minerals, and encapsulated fruits and vegetables because of the deficiency that our traditional farming practices leave us with. Many fruits and vegetables now are much less nutritious than they were 50 years ago, so we need to supplement. For example, it would take 40 peaches now to equal the nutrition in just one peach 50 years ago!
Cleaning Products.
The items we use to clean our house every day contain toxic chemicals (VOC’s, phalates, chlorine, and ammonia, to name a few). These can contribute to asthma, headaches, chronic respiratory issues, reproductive disorders, and cancer, among other issues.
Cookware.
The Mayo clinic considers non-stick cookware one of the top 10 toxins! Non-stick cookware can contain PFOS’s, PFA’s, APEO’s, cadmium, and lead. These items can leach into your food over time, and cause havoc on your body.
Air Filtration.
The air in our home can contain the following: mold spores, smoke, pet dander, dust mites, pollen, chemicals (VOC’s and other gases from carpet, building materials, furniture, paint etc.). This can cause short term and long term effects to your body such as: sneezing, coughing, itchy skin, congestion, fatigue, upper respiratory disease, heart disease, and even cancer.
Detoxification.
We encounter toxins on a daily basis, and the build-up of these contributes to dis-ease. I share some of the best ways to remove these toxins.
Water Filtration.
The water in our home can contain the following: bacteria, viruses, chlorine, pesticides, herbicides and other harmful toxins. This can have many lasting effects on your body.
Education.
In order to heal, we must learn how to heal first! I have included a few of my favorite books, as well as the training I went through to become an Integrative Health Practitioner.
Personal Care Products
Follain
Indie Lee is a super high quality brand with a large restriction list of ingredients to ensure your utmost safety when it comes to your personal care needs! I have noticed an amazing difference in anti-aging on my skin. My favorite is the COQ10 Toner!
Earthley
I absolutely LOVE the ingredients that Earthley uses in their personal care and cleaning products. They are very reasonably priced, and very clean products.
Mountain Rose Herbs
I started using their products for making homemade beauty products, as well as some of their premade personal care products. They are very environmentally friendly and safe.
Cleaning Products
Norwex
Norwex cloths are great, because they only require water to clean, which eliminates the need for chemical cleaners. They are infused with a micro silver antibacterial agent which inhibits odors within the cloth. They are also environmentally friendly! I only recommend the cleaning cloths, not the solutions.
Thieves Cleaner
I personally use Thieves household cleaner in our home. It smells and cleans great. It is very diluted, so it lasts a long time - you only use 1-2 capfuls to make a full bottle of cleaner. They also provide you with different recipes to use for different cleaning needs.
DIY Cleaning Supplies
Check out some great DIY recipes I’ve found along the way!
Air Filtration
Air Doctor
My top pick for home use due to its size and capability to run 24 hours a day ensuring your home or office is free of allergens & toxins.
Air Filtering Plants
Check out this amazing combination of air filtering plants! Also, check out this podcast made by Dr.Cabral - Dr. of Naturopathy of a NASA study on air pollutants.
Plant Therapy Diffuser
We have multiple diffusers throughout our house. It is much better than those toxic air fresheners, because it is non-toxic, as well as healing when used with certain essential oils!
Water Filtration
Berkey
My top pick for use in the home due to its low price tag (compared to a reverse osmosis system), its amazing filtration, and testing that’s behind their products. If you have city water, I highly suggest getting the fluoride filter!
Adams Well Drilling Inc.
We have personally worked with Adams Well, a little mom and pop business in the Brighton/Howell area (Michigan). They are super knowledgeable and were helpful in giving us the proper recommendation for our house. I suggest you find the same in your area, as water tables are different in different areas, well is different than city water, etc.
Aquabliss Shower Filter
This universal shower filter attaches to your normal shower head, and removes toxic chemicals like chlorine from becoming a gas in your shower. For a 5% off coupon, enter “LACEYREEDY” at checkout!
Detoxification
21 Day Detox
Myself and my husband started out with a 21 day detox, and do a 7 day detox seasonally. This helps us remove toxins that accumulate daily, keeping our toxin levels at bay!
Sunlighten Saunas
We personally own an mPulse Conquer; which includes Far, Near, and Mid infrared wavelengths, and provides the most benefits to our bodies. We chose them because they are the only company that actually provides all 3 individual wavelengths (many other companies only provide them in a full spectrum). They have a lot of testing and research to back up their products, and they have great customer care. Be sure to mention my name when ordering, and you will get a discount!
Dry Brush Spa Package
This set gives you everything you need to start dry brushing - it helps remove toxins and calm your nervous system!
Toxin Free Cooking
Scan Pan
Scanpans are free of all heavy metals, PFOA’s, PFA’s, cadmium, and lead. They are super durable, non-stick, and cook quickly & evenly.
Blackstone Griddle
We use our blackstone griddle for a lot of our cooking - it cooks quickly, and the top is only made of rolled carbon steel - no toxic non-stick coating here!
Steelmade Griddle Insert
We bought this product because we loved our blackstone griddle so much, and wanted something we would use inside the house. This retrofits right on top of our existing stove.
Supplements
Juice Plus+ Capsules & Gummies
My top pick for the nutrition of 30 organically grown, and vine ripened fruits and vegetables. Incorporating this one simple change in our lives has been the catalyst to adopt many healthier changes into our lifestyle since 2019. Just Plus has over 41 clinical research reports done on the full product, which exceeds all other products out there. Juice Plus technically isn’t a supplement, but a food - it is like a salad bar in a capsule, and is safe for everyone - even kids (and with qualifying purchases), can even get theirs free!
Juice Plus+ Protein Shakes
Need a clean protein shake that incorporates 15 different plants? These shakes are packed with prebiotics, fiber, protein, greens, and a superfood blend of essential nutrients. They taste amazing, and there are many ways this powder can be used in some simple recipes.
Daily Activated Multi-vitamin
We all need a daily multivitamin, and the supplement industry is just lurking with people trying to make a buck. Unfortunately, this leads to products not being what they claim to be, expired supplements being relabeled, and only a dusting of the beneficial thing in the bottle, rather than the clinical dosage needed for the benefits. EquiLife is a very high quality brand that I trust fully.
Education
Integrative Health Practitioner
Integrative Health Practitioner Classes - The certification I took to do what I do. I learned exactly how to run a business similar to Dr. Cabral, who is a Dr. in Naturopathy.
Rain Barrel Effect
Written by Dr. Cabral, it outlines why we need to heal, and the steps needed to heal our bodies once and for all.
