HOME SWEET HOME
1. 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 these 2 sources of laundry soap. Make sure you get the unscented version if the fragrance doesn’t suit your child.
- 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.
- Earthley
3. Beddings & Pillows- Sleep and Beyond
If you have a little one in the house, you know the importance of having a durable mattress protector, but at the same time, we want to make sure it is comfortable and safe. I find the Organic Cotton 100% WaterProof Mattress Protector by Sleep and Beyond along with their Merino Wool Comforters and cotton sheets affordable and of very high quality.
4. 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.
Mommy & Baby Supplies
1. Solly Baby [10% OFF your 1st order]
Solly Baby offers some of the best baby wraps, crib sheets, mini crib sheets, and swaddles & everything you will need for your baby. Their wraps are wonderful & their pieces are comfortable and designed to support your baby’s development and well-being, as well as your own. My kids had a majority of their wardrobe during their early years from here.
2. 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 or pooping), Nourish Her Tonic, Feel Better Fast Herbal Remedy & the Black Drawing Salve Stick.
3. My Amazon Storefront
You’ll find other products that I have researched and use regularly on my Amazon page.
Personal Care
A little cautionary note for this section- Beware! There are a lot of fake products on the market. Investing in quality ones that actually work is the key here.
1. EMF Protection- Defender shield
This is my go-to brand for EMF-shielded cell phone cases, laptop shields, tablet shields, anti-radiation blankets, and much more. Independently tested by the FCC, their phone case uses conductive, non-conductive, and advanced absorption shielding materials together to block, divert, and absorb EMFs, Radio Frequency (RF), and heat radiation. Their EMFRadiation-Free Air Tube Kids Headphones are worth investing in if your little one attends online classes very often.
2. Ocushield [Use code ‘DRDOCTOR‘ to get 20% OFF your order.]
Excessive blue light exposure can affect sleep, mood, energy levels, and long-term eye health and children absorb more blue light than adults do when exposed to light-emitting devices. Their Blue light Blocking glasses are the most comfortable pair I have found to date and find them the most effective. If you don’t like wearing glasses, they also have blue light-blocking screens for iPhones/ laptops/MacBooks/ipads. You have no excuse really!
3. Mitigate EMF & Structure water- Somavedic
[Use code ‘NOURISHYOURCHI’ to get 10% OFF your order]
Somavedic devices are thoroughly researched and well known for their EMF mitigation capabilities, ability to structure water, and neutralize free radicals in the body. While their Amber model has the strongest EMF mitigation properties and the Gold model is their premium version, I personally like their Vedic Model and find it equally effective and affordable.
Skincare & Beauty
1. Anovite’s Anti-ageing Skincare
It’s no secret that as we age, our skin pays the price. Anovite´s Ageless skin care line helps turn back the clock with its synergistic combo of the Hydrating face cream and the Restorative Face Serum that contains Colostrum and Fucoidan. It is perhaps one of the only few I know that really shows some change and gives results in the form of impressive visible skin transformations. Make sure you sign up with an account to get the wholesale price.
2. Organic & Safe Make-up
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 as well.
3. Plant Therapy Skincare
I am particularly fond of their organic essential oils, but their skincare is equally good. Their Facial Serum Trio set is a great option for everyday skincare.
4. The Eczema Company
Use code ‘DRDOCTOR’ to get 15% OFF your order.
The Eczema Company offers natural eczema cream, eczema clothing, wet wraps for eczema, best laundry detergent for eczema, and more to provide you or your little ones with some much-needed eczema relief. I know Jennifer, the founder personally and she & her team are doing a fabulous job by making clean and extremely useful clothing available. Their Remedywear is extremely soft and soothing for inflamed skin and I personally find it very useful.
5. REVIAN’S RED HAIR GROWTH SYSTEM
I am particularly fond of Revian’s RED Hair Growth System and the CapillusPro Mobile Laser Therapy Cap. They are simple for home use, requiring 10-20 minutes of use and I am hopeful this will serve as an asset given that so many of us work from home these days!
We are excited to partner with REVIAN RED, the first and only FDA-cleared, all-LED hair loss treatment for men & women, clinically proven to grow more hair in less time.
Revian has graciously offered all my readers $550 OFF the retail price, use coupon code: DRDOCTOR to avail of the discount.
All things FOOD!
1. Colostrum
If you have gone through my courses, you know my love for Colostrum. It is whole food in the true sense and is one food that I highly recommend and encourage everyone to consume, especially children.
Modern researchers have put out close to 200,000 studies on the value of the immune factors and over 700 components in colostrum to support children, adults, and all mammals against pathogens of all levels. And while there are many available in the market, I am very happy with Anovite’s Colostrum. It is Whole Colostrum, not extracted & it is independently third-party tested. To avoid paying the retail price, log in as a customer or associate (if you wish to share this wonderful resource & make a small earning) to unlock the wholesale price.
2. Ready-to-eat Sourdough & Baked Goodies– Organic Bread of Heaven
[Use code ‘DRDOCTOR‘ to get 10% OFF your order.]
So many people feel ill when they eat bread and that is just tragic given how good it is for us. But we should all eat bread that is properly fermented without the addition of vast quantities of yeast, sugar, so-called improvers, and other unnecessary ingredients.
Sourdough bread is easy to make but you need to be patient with the starter culture. If you’re busy or lack the time and patience to make your own, you can order it from a local bakery or online. Always look for true sourdough that contains flour, starter culture (yeast), and/or herbs.
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!
3. Bake & make your own Sourdough & Artisanal Pastries – Wildgrain
[Use code ‘NOURISHYOURCHI’ to get FREE CROISSANTS FOR LIFE + $30 OFF your 1st order]
If you were in search of a bake-from-frozen box of authentic sourdough bread, artisanal pastries, and/or fresh pasta delivered to your door each month? Then read I think you will love Wildgrain. They are giving FREE Croissants + $30 OFF your 1st purchase for all my readers to try, for a limited time only! Use Code- NOURISHYOURCHI to get $30 OFF! [Please note that at the time of reading this, if the offer is not active, you will still get a special offer (a different one perhaps), but make sure you use the Coupon Code for it.]
4. Organic Herbs & Spices- Mountain Rose Herbs
They have a very wide variety of high-quality, organic herbs, spices, and all the things you need for a traditional food kitchen, along with all possible DIY supplies. They even offer a line of herbal bitters, which are very beneficial when used at the start of a meal to kickstart digestion. “People, plants, and the planet before profit” is the foundation of their relationship with their partner farmers, and I love their initiative and product quality.
5. Perfect Supplements
[Use code ‘DRDOCTOR’ to get 10% OFF your order.]
Perfect Supplements is unlike the ordinary and offers whole foods-based supplements and herbal remedies. I am a skeptic regarding supplements, but Perfect supplements have won my heart. My favorites include their hydrolyzed collagen powder, bone broth, gelatin & desiccated liver capsules, acerola powder & mushroom immunity powder. Their products are perhaps one of the only few GLYPHOSATE-residue FREE; all products are independently lab-tested and of very high quality.
6. Mold FREE Coffee
It is fascinating that Mr. Asprey decided to call his creation- The Danger Coffee. It is one of the Best Coffee I have personally tried. Every bag is freshly roasted, is MOLD FREE (all commercial coffees contain Toxic Mold), and contains the benefits of Fulvic acid and other nutrients.
If you are a coffee lover, you will definitely enjoy having Danger Coffee!
7. Home to Ayurvedic & Indian Goods- Distacart
Since I have a deep-rooted connection to India, I missed its beautiful bounty after my move to the States. However I was very happy to come across a platform like Distacart that makes a variety of traditional Indian food and goods available readily without the hassle of paying extra for shipping.
8. 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.
9. 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. It is also cooled before packaging so hot broth never comes in contact with the container. [Use code ‘DRDOCTOR’ to get 15% OFF your 1st order of Bonafide Provisions Broth.]
10. HEALTHY GUT BACTERIA
If you are looking to ferment and create your delicious versions and whether you are just getting started with fermentation or are an expert looking for a new recipe- I highly recommend these 2 sources as they have the highest quality starters and equipment I have found to date.
- Cultures For Health– Kefir Starter Culture, Cheese starter Culture, Sourdough starter culture, and much more.
- Kombucha Kamp– this is a one-stop shop for all things related to Kombucha making. Their scobies are of very high quality. They also have a Scoby Hotel!
PROBIOTIC/SYNBIOTIC
There are times when we need some added support in the form of very high-quality pre and probiotics in addition to those from whole food sources, especially when we are trying to heal and restore the gut ecosystem. I trust only 2 sources for these. They both are very unique. The other probiotics in the market barely even cross the acidic medium of the stomach and I honestly haven’t found another source of probiotics that actually works.
Just Thrive
[15% OFF Directly with THIS LINK]
They are reputed with a breakthrough, award-winning probiotic that contains a patented strain called Bacillus Indicus HU36®
It uses nested capsules that are designed to survive the harsh environment of the stomach. I I highly recommend giving this a try. Your gut will bless me someday.
Meal Planning
Real Plans
There is nothing better than homecooked meals but if you are a mama and busy bee like me whose main struggle is getting real food on the table while trying to juggle work, home, kids, and everything else, then this wonderful and reliable tool will be of help to you. Real Plans is a smartphone app that is much more than a simple meal generator or menu planner. It is more like an assistant that takes your schedule into account, knows your dietary quirks, and even delivers a shopping list to your phone so you never forget anything. Their plans start for as little as $6/month.
Stasher- Reusable non-toxic storage bags
One of my favorite kitchen hacks is using these reusable bags instead of disposable ones. The reusable silicone storage bags from Stasher are very versatile and investing in a set of bags once will go a very long way.
Website essentials
I always get queries as to how I manage a website in spite of such a busy schedule. Quite honestly, I am no professional & had a gradual learning curve. I am simply sharing a few of the resources that really helped me create and share my content easily. I hope it helps you with your journey.
1. Convertkit- The Email Marketing Platform
If you have been in the online writing and blogging space, you know just how important your email list is. Convertkit is simple enough to use as a completely new blogger but it is also adequate enough to operate a full-fledged business.
They have a very simple automation system that you can set up which enables you to do email marketing effectively. Their email editor helps you manage the emails that you need to send to your subscribers or email list. You can get your first month of ConvertKit for free on any plan here!
2. Shareasale
