Dr. Doctor’s 2022 Gift Guide
The holidays are here and I’m so excited to bring you my 2022 gift guide!
The lineup below represents the new food and health-related products I’ve enjoyed during 2022 that are excellent quality, affordable, planet-friendly, and wellness-enhancing.
I hope you enjoy browsing through to hopefully get some good ideas for your own home or the upcoming gift-giving season.
Skincare
There is a ridiculous amount of toxic skincare products out there that make their money marketing themselves toward our fear of aging.
According to a study published in the peer-reviewed American Journal of Public Health, the skin absorbs an average of 64% of total contaminant exposure.
And what’s worse – there is an abundance of “greenwashing” products marketing themselves as natural when in actuality they contain horrible ingredients, like Benzalkonium Chloride, BHAs, BHTs, synthetic fragrances, or other harmful chemicals.
This is the topic I get the maximum queries about, so I think it is just right to share some wonderful resources to pamper yourself and your loved ones.
1. Anovite Cream & Serum Duo
One of my favorite skincare lines is available at an excellent deal this black Friday. If you have wanted to try Anovite’s skincare line, this is the perfect time to do it. It is a great face care, but it also is excellent for any level of skin condition you might have going on. Moreover, it has the goodness of Colostrum and other wonderful compounds such as Fucoidan. My friend Rose likes to call it the “Facelift in a Bottle” skincare!
2. Annmarie Clean Beauty Trial Pack
This 4-step skincare line is organic, ‘made-safe’ certified, non-GMO, and cruelty-free so you can feel safe giving it as a gift to a loved one or to yourself! They have a lovely trial pack at a lovely deal that makes for an excellent gift this season.
It includes- Clean Beauty Trial Pack + Free FULL-SIZE Antioxidant Lip Balm. Four products, ships free and all for $19.99!
Araza is one of the few that allows us to use some extra bling when required safely. Made with organic plant-based and safe ingredients, my favorites include the Rejuvenating Coconut Lip Color & the Avocado Butter Eye + Brow Pencil. Their Fresh Face Starter Set is an economical option to get started with and they have added the limited edition Holiday Look Set which serves as an excellent gift this season.
4. PURE Lip Gloss
If you are in search of a simple & wonderful lip gloss that checks all the boxes: no synthetic dyes, plant-based ingredients, and silky smooth! You’ll like the one from PURE.
House Essentials
1. Essential oils- Plant Therapy
Safety is my top priority when it comes to essential oils. Plant Therapy is a brand I love for its quality, commitment to providing safe usage instructions, and pricing. Their organic kid-safe blends make it very convenient for those not conversant with aromatherapy. Else, their organic singles bundle is a great place to start.
2. Spring-Free Organic Mattress (deeply discounted)
The Hope spring-free organic mattress is my favorite to recommend to those who are concerned about EMF exposure and who want to sleep on a safe, sturdy mattress that doesn’t have metal coils that can magnify negative EMF health effects.
All sizes of the Hope organic mattress are deeply discounted right now, so definitely take a look if you are in the market for a safe bed.
The King mattress is 74% off, the Queen is 67% off, the Full is 60% off, and the Twin is 50% off!
3. Non-toxic laundry wash
While it is very easy to create your own household cleaning supplies, it is very reassuring to have clean, toxic-free cleaning supplies available readily. My little one reacted to almost all the laundry washes commercially and I am very fond of this source. Make sure you get the unscented version if the fragrance doesn’t you or your loved one.
Truly Free [Get 300 FREE Loads of Laundry Wash here!]. This is what I use most commonly. I find their non-toxic dishwasher soap and enzyme stain remover very effective and handy as well.
3. Earthley
Earthley is a wonderful company that really strives to deliver pure, natural products & I am very happy to have come across their products. Particular favorites are the Goodnight magnesium lotion (which works like a charm if your little one or in fact anyone is having trouble sleeping), Nourish Her Tonic, Feel Better Fast Herbal Remedy & the Black Drawing Salve Stick. (They have 20% OFF their entire store right now)
4. EMF Protection Blanket
Many people these days…especially teenagers and young adults…regularly scroll their smartphones while sitting in bed.
This is problematic to health when the phone is propped up on the abdomen exposing vital organs to cellular and Wifi signals. This cumulative exposure really adds up quickly.
If one of your loved ones has this habit, an EMF and 5G protection blanket is a great way to easily help them protect themselves (along with blue-light-blocking glasses!).
These blankets are great for protecting babies or traveling on long-haul airplane flights with radiation exposure from hours at high altitudes.
This is also my go-to brand for EMF-shielded cell phone cases, laptop shields, tablet shields, anti-radiation blankets, and much more.
5. Acupressure Flip Flops
These therapeutic sandals (that you use around the house only) give you a reflexology massage on important acupressure points while you’re walking short distances from room to room or standing in the kitchen washing dishes or folding clothes.
At first, you may only be able to wear them for a minute or two. You might even find them a bit painful as toxins are getting released and the tight plantar muscles are stretched.
As your feet get stronger and the gentle acupressure relieves energy blockages, you will be able to wear them comfortably for much longer!
Any sore spots you experience link to specific organ systems in the body and potential weak areas to work on.
Regular use can help relieve plantar fascitis, improve circulation, reduce back pain and facilitate better sleep!
Food Guide
1. Fruit and Veggie Wash [Buy 1 Get 3 FREE with this link]
You can easily make your own fruit and veggie wash at home, and having one is a MUST, given the number of pesticides and toxic residues found on produce. But when you don’t have the time and want something reliable to fall back on, the one from ‘Truly Free’ is the only one I trust and use.
2. Organic Broth
I recommend and enjoy only these two sources: Epic bone broth comes in shelf-stable glass jars and Bonafide Provisions is a great option if you have refrigerator/freezer space. Bonafide broth is the best choice as it gels at room temperature, indicating a higher quality product.
3. Fruit-Sweetened Sourdough and Muffins
I’ve been enjoying the authentic sourdough bread, tortillas, muffins, and bagels delivered fresh to your door from Organic Bread of Heaven for a long time.
This is by far our family’s favorite bread and go-to, not only for their lovely sourdough, but we also indulge in their sprouted tortillas, noodles, pies, and muffins. They are delicious!
If you want to try these yummies or send a gift basket for the holidays, use coupon code DRDOCTOR at checkout to get 10% off. Free shipping is available.
4. Just Thrive
They are reputed for a breakthrough, award-winning probiotic that contains a patented strain called Bacillus Indicus HU36®. This is probably one of the only few probiotics that actually reach the intestine to perform its desired action.
There is so much more, but these are the most helpful IMHO.
Have a lovely and wonderful Holiday this season.
Take care and Stay Blessed 💕

These are great gift ideas 💡 🎁 Amazingly worded !!!
Thank you so much!
Does the magnesium cream really work? I need help with falling back to sleep in the middle of the night.
Oh yes. It has worked very well for my family. Though the causes of sleeplessness and insomnia are many, magnesium deficiency is the most common and overlooked cause.
