Erin Holt [00:00:02]:
I'm Erin Holt, and this is the Funk’tional Nutrition Podcast, where we lean into intuitive, functional medicine. We look at how diet, our environment, our emotions, and our beliefs all affect our physical health. This podcast is your full bodied, well rounded resource. I've got over a decade of clinical experience, and because of that, I've got a major bone to pick with diet, culture, and the healthcare model. They're both failing so many of us. But functional medicine isn't the panacea that. It's made out to be, either. We've got some work to do, and that's why creating a new model is my life's work. I believe in the ripple effect. So I founded the Funk’tional Nutrition Academy, a school in mentorship for practitioners who want to do the same.
Erin Holt [00:00:46]:
This show is for you if you're looking for new ways of thinking about your health and you're ready to be an active participant in your own healing, please keep in mind this podcast is created for educational purposes only and should never be used as a replacement for medical diagnosis or treatment.
Erin Holt [00:01:00]:
I would love for you to follow the show rate, review and share because you never know whose life you might change and of course, keep coming back for more.
Erin Holt [00:01:13]:
All right. Hi, guys. I'm here with Rachel from Team Fn. Say hi, Rachel. And we're going to talk about health tools, gadgets, and gizmos. Kind of like, are they worth it? Are they not? We get asked about this stuff all of the time between clients and folks on Instagram, just like, what do you think about this? What do you think about this? And Rachel and I both are people who definitely invest in our health, and sometimes we invest in some of the trinkets, too. And so we're going to talk about stuff that we actually use, things that we've bought that maybe we don't use, and then things that we've heard of but we haven't tried. So we're not really going to use this time to get into the nitty gritty of the science of what everything does or is supposed to do, but more so just talk about things that are more popular right now and give you guys our opinion.
Erin Holt [00:02:06]:
Sound good?
Rachel Mistry [00:02:08]:
Yes. Cool.
Erin Holt [00:02:10]:
Oh, I should also say that nothing that we're going to talk about is sponsored either. So obviously you'll hear from our show sponsors, but nothing that we talk about. Like, nobody's paying us any money to say any of this stuff. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I just feel like it warrants saying that when we're talking about all this stuff and then I think we're going to like both of us. And, Rachel, you can speak to this a little bit more, but in today's current climate of health overwhelm, I think the sort of omnipresent message here is that, yeah, if you're into some of these things and you've got the budget for cool, like, try them out. But if money is tight and you're really trying to figure out, okay, where's the most bang for my buck in terms of my health dollar, I can't say that any of these things that we're going to talk about are going to override or be better than the basics. So I also want to round out this conversation by talking about free wellness and the things that will actually move the needle for your health and will make a huge impact for your health, too, for sure.
Rachel Mistry [00:03:18]:
And I agree with you completely. I definitely think that if you're considering investing in any of these tools and these trinkets that we're going to chat about today, I definitely encourage you to stick with the basics. Don't sacrifice extra sleep to spend an extra 45 minutes in your sauna each morning. And I acknowledge the basics and the foundations. They're not the fun and trendy things to talk about. These basics include things like managing your stress, moving your body in a way that feels good to you, getting enough sleep, balancing your blood sugar. These fancy health tools and gadgets are really a waste of money. Exactly like what you said, Erin.
Rachel Mistry [00:03:58]:
If you don't have the basics covered.
Erin Holt [00:04:01]:
And then some people might argue that these help them get the basics covered. And if that's you, more power to you. I just don't want people to walk away from this conversation being like, oh, my God, I have, like, ten things I have to buy right now and spend thousands of dollars to get healthy because we certainly don't feel this way. So let's start off by talking about certain things that we have, certain health tools that we've used that we really like, and we can kind of categorize it. So I think we can start off with things that we use for stress and or pain.
Rachel Mistry [00:04:34]:
I have the Pranamat. I know you have the Pranamat, too, and I love it. And I'll a lot of times end my day with it or kind of unwind and decompress. I don't have a lot of back pain or neck pain, but the Pranamat is basically like a little acupressure mat. And my husband Taylor, he gets more headaches, more neck aches. And backaches, and he actually feels like that will really move the needle for him when he lays on it for 10-15 minutes at a time for his headaches.
Erin Holt [00:05:01]:
Does he use the whole mat or just the pillow or both?
Rachel Mistry [00:05:04]:
He'll use both, yeah. Like, the back, I feel like, is what really helps him.
Erin Holt [00:05:08]:
Yeah. So the Pranamat, just in case you're not familiar, it's a cloth mat, and then it has these plastic pokers on it. And so it's kind of like a hurt so good. It can be painful when you use it because you're supposed to use it without a shirt on or without clothes on it. And usually I recommend people start with a thin shirt just to get started. So it kind of feels uncomfortable at first, and then your body kind of relaxes into it. And I always like to have it stack.
Erin Holt [00:05:34]:
So I usually do it while I'm meditating or while I'm doing breathwork. So I feel like it takes my mind off of it a little bit. But how it works is that these little pokey things, like Rachel said, it's acupressure, so it's stimulating different points. And when it does that, it releases endorphins. So feel good chemicals within your body. So in that way, it helps to support your nervous system, but it also helps to reduce pain. So I love to use it. I feel like I'm more liberal with my use when I'm feeling really stressed out and when I'm in a pain flare.
Erin Holt [00:06:11]:
And usually those things happen simultaneously because the stress is what puts me in a pain flare, but it can be really helpful. I actually just let my aunt borrow one because she was super interested in it, and I was like, why don't you borrow mine just to see if you like it? Because they're about $200, so it's a sizable investment if you're not going to use it. And she's had it for a little over a week now. She already bought one for herself, but she's like, can I keep yours until mine comes? Because she's using it twice a day. She has an autoimmune disease. She's got some chronic health stuff going on, and it's been really helpful for her. So I would say, if we're going to rate them, I would give Pranamat an a because. And I think I would say, like, worth the investment.
Rachel Mistry [00:06:51]:
I would agree. It's easy to transport. I did not buy the carrying case for it, and so I still have the box it came in, and that's, like, the most annoying thing, which is really minimal. It's just like, oh, we got to pack it up. And now we put this box back in our.
Erin Holt [00:07:04]:
Where are you bringing it? Do you travel with it?
Rachel Mistry [00:07:07]:
Know, if we drive out to Missouri, for instance, or things like
Erin Holt [00:07:12]:
Like if you go somewhere for a couple of weeks, you would take it with you. That's how frequently you guys use it. Oh, interesting. Okay. I didn't even know it had a carrying case, so that's good to know. Ok, so Pranamat, thumbs up. Two thumbs up for me and Rachel.
Rachel Mistry [00:07:29]:
And also this kind of ties into the conversation where it's also not the worst thing to choose convenience in areas of our lives as well. It's necessary in many instances. And don't get me wrong, going to actual acupuncture can be amazing, but you have to schedule it. You have to drive there. I want to tell you that the Pranamat, you save so much money by using something like the Pranamat compared to going to an acupuncture appointment as. So that's true.
Erin Holt [00:07:54]:
I just got back from an acupuncture appointment actually, as we speak. And it was almost as much as the Pranamat. Also helpful, but, like, very time consuming. I got lost on my way home. I was Voxing with Rachel. I got lost on my way. Very time consuming. All right, talking about pain, what about the Theragun? Because I know you guys have one of those, too.
Rachel Mistry [00:08:19]:
We have one. We love it. I mean honestly, we kind of got the knockoff version off of Amazon, and I think it works just as well. I feel like I'll use it after workout before the soreness sets in. But then also when you're really achy and sore, I feel like exactly what you said about the Pranamat. It kind of hurts so good, too. I don't feel like this is a necessity. You can definitely also just use one of those foam rollers to roll your legs out.
Rachel Mistry [00:08:45]:
But it's nice. So if you're really sore, you can just use it on that sore spot. I really like it.
Erin Holt [00:08:51]:
Well, plus you can get into areas that can be sometimes tricky for the foam roller to get into, like, really deep into hip flexors or inner thigh like abductors. It's hard to always get in with a foam roller unless you have, like, a mini foam roller. So I like it for that too. We just got one of these probably like a year ago. We got the actual Theragun. So what do those costs? Like $400. I want to try to put cost to all of these things, too. How much did the knockoff version cost? Do you remember?
Rachel Mistry [00:09:19]:
It was like 150 or less off of Amazon.
Erin Holt [00:09:22]:
And it works just as well.
Rachel Mistry [00:09:24]:
Yeah.
Erin Holt [00:09:25]:
My husband grew up drinking name brand, eating and drinking name brand. I mean, store brand, everything. So he doesn't like a knockoff version. He's like a little bougie in that department. So I was like, we can just get the one on Amazon. It's like $150. And he's like, I'm going to get the actual Theragun. I'm like, all right.
Erin Holt [00:09:44]:
I don't think it makes much of a difference, but I feel like we use that a fair amount, so I feel like we're getting the value out of it. The other thing that I bought him, this is like, maybe like, I don't know, five years ago, is one of those vibrating balls. It's like this big. Nobody can see me, my hands, but it vibrates. I think it's the Tom Brady one that I got him. But I'm sure there's other brands. So TB12 brand, I think. And we didn't really use that that much.
Erin Holt [00:10:14]:
And that was like another probably like $200 to $300 purchase because it's so loud. So the Theragun, you could hold in your hand, and this is a ball, so you would use it like a foam roller. You'd have to roll yourself with the ball on the floor. And because it vibrates, it was so loud that it would just annoy everybody else in the house. And you couldn't do it while you were watching tv. It was so crazy loud, and you could hear it on every other floor, like, reverb out. So I feel like we didn't get much use out of that one. I know after listening to Perry Nickelston talk about lymph that those vibrating balls can be really helpful for lymph because vibration is really good for lymph.
Erin Holt [00:10:55]:
So if you are using it in that way, maybe. But it's like one of those things. I'm like, we just never really used it because it was so inconvenient, because it was so loud.
Rachel Mistry [00:11:05]:
And I know this doesn't have the same effect, but we have a lacrosse ball. I used to play lacrosse, so we just have my old lacrosse ball. If there's like a weird knot on your back, I'll just press my back up to the lacrosse ball on the wall and kind of roll that knot out. Or I've even used that for really tight hip flexors and my hips, too. It doesn't vibrate well.
Erin Holt [00:11:26]:
I love that I have a lacrosse ball. And then also the Yoga Tune Up balls that are a little bit softer because lacrosse balls are hard. And some people, it's, like, a little too aggressive. But my trainer told me they've been out of stock, so I haven't been able to buy them. But they're like those. But there's a flat. One end is flat, so it's almost like on a flat mount. And then the ball is on top because, you know, when you put it on the wall, it's hard to get into your shoulder.
Erin Holt [00:11:56]:
Sometimes you have to move around. If I can find the actual. I'm looking at my phone right now to see. Okay, I found it. It's an Acumobility ball. Yeah. And it's Acumobility.com. Oh, they're not out of stock anymore.
Erin Holt [00:12:13]:
No, they are. Sadly, they are. They are sold out. But whenever those come back in stock, strong recommend. I've used them at the gym, and so that's very convenient. You can get into the weird, awkward spots. Something else that I bought, I was influenced. I was heavily influenced.
Erin Holt [00:12:29]:
And they're called n.o.w Tone Therapy. So I'm going to show Rachel. You guys can't see this, but they're like two little speakers. They're dirty because I give them to Hattie, and she uses them in the bathroom for, like, spa days for herself. They have, like, toothpaste, but they are. Let's see if I can. There might not be any batteries in here. Can you hear it?
Rachel Mistry [00:12:53]:
Yeah. Vibrating. Oh.
Erin Holt [00:13:00]:
Feel yourself relax. Anyway, so there are two little mini speakers. They can fit in the palm of your hand. Palm of each hand. And I forget who was talking about them. And I was like, oh, I love sound therapy. I want those. Another, like, $200 impulse purchase.
Erin Holt [00:13:16]:
Definitely just went right to Instagram. You just clicked buy now. Put it on my paypal. Put it on my. It's like monopoly money. And I've probably used them, like, four times. I've had them for, like, two years. So much for that.
Erin Holt [00:13:28]:
So that was something that I thought would be great. I'm like, oh, I'll get up and I'll start my day by listening to these because I think they play for three minutes. And, yeah, I just never use them. Have not baked that into my daily sched.
Rachel Mistry [00:13:44]:
I was going to say you could probably just buy a speaker and a bluetooth something, too, right?
Erin Holt [00:13:48]:
Oh, yeah. Definitely don't need to buy individual mini speakers to play sounds. Calming sounds. Definitely don't need that. I'm sorry to n.o.w Tone Therapy, but I can't give you a strong rating because I just never used you guys. All right, how about for detox? So detox is something you talk a ton to your clients about. What would you say the best things are for detoxification support?
Rachel Mistry [00:14:17]:
I would say from a really foundational perspective, that's a little bit of a lower cost investment. It would be a castor oil pack. I feel like we talk about this a lot. If you're a one to one patient of mine, I probably recommended this for you. Basically, a castor oil pack. It's pretty easy to use. I feel like the one drawback that, the one piece of feedback that I get from patients is the castor oil pack sometimes gets a little too oily, it gets a little too saturated, and then it gets messy. So basically, a castor oil pack, for those who aren't familiar, is this cloth.
Rachel Mistry [00:14:49]:
It's lined on one side, and it's more. I want to tell you, it's wool on the other side. You apply castor oil to it, and then there's strings that attach to this. So you apply this to your skin beneath your right rib cage. That's where your liver and your gallbladder is located. So for some of my patients who have digestive upset gas and bloating, it can really help with that because it just helps with that smooth muscle relaxation. For some of my other patients with hormonal issues, or if we just want to support the natural detoxification pathways, we have them, it's giving that liver and that gallbladder a little bit of extra love. So I think it's like 50 or $60 for a castor oil pack.
Rachel Mistry [00:15:30]:
And recently I found on their website, Jenna actually told me about this. It's like, you can buy a replacement pad for your castor oil pack. That's like ten or $15. You don't have to replace the entire pack every time that you.
Erin Holt [00:15:41]:
Are you talking about the Queen of Thrones pack? That's the one that you like to use, right? So you can get the raw ingredients like castor oil and flannel, I think is traditionally what people use. Probably wool is another option. And then, like, saran wrap and just old school just do it, and that's probably going to run you, like, $10. That's, I think, when things get really messy, because back in the day before Queen of Thrones was smart enough to invent her little handy dandy gadget, that's what I would do. And then I'm like, you can't really be on your couch, because castor oil will stain, and then you're staining your clothes like a whole one. And we'll make sure that we link to this one in the show notes. But it's like, by far the most convenient way to use it because it actually has ties in the back, so you wrap it around your midsection. I also like to use it on my low abdomen.
Erin Holt [00:16:32]:
Not so much for detox support, but for constipation support. Or if I just have funky guts or period cramps, it can be really helpful for. So the way that she has it, you can just move it around to different locations, and it's just the least messy way to go about it, too. You're going to spend a little bit more for it, but you can reuse those so many times. And I guess you can also get a replacement thing that's pretty inexpensive with really good results, right? That's a very effective tool that's not going to cost you a lot. And something that I think that we should be doing regularly. I mean, I know I've said this so much on the show, but somebody even just dm'd me and was like, wait a second, you have to support detoxification. I thought you had a liver.
Erin Holt [00:17:19]:
And she wasn't being sassy or fresh. She was like, being like, dead ass. And I'm like, well, 200 years ago, maybe that was enough. Now not so much. So we really do. Even if you don't have methylation issues, even if you don't have estrogen clearance issues, even if you don't have high liver enzymes, it's just really good practice to support overall detoxification. And that's one way to do it.
Erin Holt [00:20:10]:
How about let's talk about saunas now, because this is something we are both, like, mega fans of.
Rachel Mistry [00:20:15]:
My sauna is right here behind me.
Erin Holt [00:20:19]:
What kind of sauna do you have?
Rachel Mistry [00:20:23]:
The thera? I don't know if it's Therasage or Therasage. I should probably figure that out. I saved up for a while to get it, and I did get it on a Memorial Day sale. And I think even on sale, it was close to about $1,000. I think normally it runs 1200, 1300. I could be wrong with that. They might have updated their prices since I think I got it, like, a year and a half ago, if not longer. And it's still under warranty.
Rachel Mistry [00:20:47]:
So if you run into any issues with it, like I did, they just replaced the parts for you. But honestly, I love the sauna.
Erin Holt [00:20:55]:
Why did you just have an issue with yours?
Rachel Mistry [00:20:58]:
Something happened with when it was plugged into the wall, like the actual sauna power unit, like short circuited or something. So they just replaced it for me.
Erin Holt [00:21:07]:
That's nice. And just explain to people, in case they're not familiar, because there's so many different types of saunas. So I'm going to give some different options for people in different price points, but explain what your Therasage actually looks like.
Rachel Mistry [00:21:20]:
So basically, it's probably 4ft tall and, like, three and a half feet deep. And you can actually sit in it. It comes with a little bamboo chair, and your head sticks out of it. And you can stick your hands out of it too, if you would like. And honestly, the reason why I really like this version of the sauna is I think when my whole body is in it, specifically my face, and I'm, like, breathing in that hot air, I just can't stay in it as long where I'm not as tolerant to really breaking a good sweat. So that's why I opted into this one. And I also really like this because in the front of it, there are red light panels, and so that's where it's kind of like a double whammy. I'm getting my red light therapy, and I'm getting my sweat on my detoxification when I'm in this.
Rachel Mistry [00:22:09]:
There's lots of other versions too.
Erin Holt [00:22:14]:
I'll talk through a lot, many different options. I'll talk through some different ones in the price points, but also space, because that's a big consideration when people are like, okay, I know that I want to invest in sauna, but I don't have a lot of space. So yours is kind of like a little tent that you wear, and then can you collapse it afterward? Because it looks like yours is folded up behind you.
Rachel Mistry [00:22:35]:
It's actually sitting up, but you can fold it up, because we live in a townhome, and this is not our forever home. And they do have those floor to ceiling room ones. This one folds up, and it's probably, like, it still takes up a decent amount of space, but it's great. Like, you can move it around. You can be a nomad.
Erin Holt [00:22:53]:
Watch tv when you're using yours. Right, because your head's out. So that's kind of nice.
Rachel Mistry [00:22:57]:
Yeah. And then what some people will do is they will take the chair out of it, and they'll sit in it so they can get the red light on their face. I have a friend who does that, but, yeah, sometimes I'll scroll on my phone or watch tv. I feel like I need to do that as a way to distract myself from getting too hot when I'm in it.
Erin Holt [00:23:16]:
So the first sauna that I got, because I was, like, spending money to go to a gym that had an infrared sauna, but it was, like, 35 minutes. I live in the middle of nowhere. So it was driving 35 minutes to the gym, and then it would be like a whole production. But I felt so much better that I'm like, I don't care. And this is when I was really struggling with my health. So I'm like, I don't care. I'll do whatever it takes. But I figured about the time and the money that I was spending.
Erin Holt [00:23:41]:
I'm like, it really just makes so much more sense to get one. So the first one I got, I had to save up for it because it wasn't cheap. And I got the SaunaSpace one because we didn't really have much room for anything else. So the SaunaSpace, it's around a $4,000 price point. And it is a canvas, essentially, like a tent that you sit inside. So there's a little stool. You do submerge your head, like, your whole body, isn't it? And then there's a red light panel as well. So you're getting the red light, and then you sweat.
Erin Holt [00:24:17]:
And I really love that. And I had that for, like, four or five years. So I feel like I really got a lot out of that. I ended up selling it, and it was in really good condition when I sold it. I feel like it was a higher price point, but it really held up, and I use that a lot. You do want to be mindful. I've been seeing more and more of this on mold accounts that I guess saunas can. If you're dripping your sweat and it stays wet, this might be more for wood saunas.
Erin Holt [00:24:51]:
Or like that one. Like a cloth based sauna. You want to make sure that you're mopping up your sweat so it doesn't grow. Like, some people use saunas to detox from mold. We don't want to be creating mold in the sauna, so that's something to be aware of. And then it was, like, two years ago now, actually, exactly two years ago. And I went to this retreat center in Maine for a couple of nights because I was so burnt out. And they have a sauna there in their spa.
Erin Holt [00:25:22]:
And I went into it, and I walked out, and I was like, whatever this sauna is, I'm just going to buy it. I'm just going to buy this sauna. I was like, I had worked really hard that year, and I'm like, I'm so burned out. I need to see something tangible, like, evidence of my hard work. And so I was like, excuse me. Excuse me. At the front desk, I was like, what kind of sauna? Is that. And so she gave me the name.
Erin Holt [00:25:45]:
It's a Sunlighten sauna. And I called them, and I was like, this is the sauna that I want. And then I just bought it. It's like a three person sauna. It's huge. It cost $13,000, and it is still not set up in my house two years later. So Scott was, like, pissed because he's like, aaron, you didn't measure it. You didn't want to run this by me to see if it fit in our house anywhere.
Erin Holt [00:26:10]:
So it sat in our barn, and then we have to move it into our basement, and we can't get it in the bulkhead. It's a whole thing. So it's like a point of contention. The most expensive sauna that I bought two years ago, I have not ever used. It's never been set up, so I can't speak to that one, but I've definitely used them outside of my house, and they are wonderful. And one day, I'll be able to tell you guys all about how great it is. So, in the meantime, since I sold my SaunaSpace as soon as I bought my new sauna, and I don't have a sauna, so higherDOSE was kind enough to send me a sauna blanket. And I think the price point is, like, around $600.
Erin Holt [00:26:51]:
And they run sales pretty regularly, so you can get them for, like, $500. So this would be a really good entry point. Not as expensive as Rachel's, so a reasonable price point. So it's almost like a sleeping bag that you lay down in, so your head sticks out. And I've used it, and I really like it. So it's very space friendly. You can roll it up and stick it in a closet. So if you're limited on space and budget, that would be another good option to look into.
Rachel Mistry [00:27:24]:
Yeah, a decent amount of my patients have the higherDOSE one, and they really like it. They'll sit on their bed in it. They'll watch tv. They'll kind of build it into their routines as a way to relax. And I know that you had mentioned when you were driving to the sauna, it becomes a whole ordeal if you're driving to and from a gym or a space, and then also if you're using the sauna to primarily get detoxification going, because we know that mold, arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury can be found in sweat. That's why saunas are so therapeutic. You want to make sure you're washing that off pretty quickly after you get out of the sauna. So having it in your house, you can just hop into the shower immediately instead of needing to bring a bag to shower at the gym or wiping yourself off, changing all your clothes and then coming home and showering.
Rachel Mistry [00:28:12]:
I feel like the convenience and the out of pocket cost, it's so worth it to do it in your own home if you can swing it.
Erin Holt [00:28:20]:
Totally agree. And there's been places where I've had access to a sauna, but I can't shower afterwards, so I'm like, I'm not going to do that. That's a really good important point, is that you do really need an opportunity to rinse everything, that you just sweat it out off, or you will reabsorb it through the skin. The other nice thing about doing it at home, if you want to do some contrast therapy, like hop into a cold shower and then pop back into the sauna, that's like a nice option.
Rachel Mistry [00:28:45]:
Oh, for sure. And also, we'll use our sauna if we're starting to feel sick. Or more on the tail end of getting sick, too, because the infrared light panels that are in it, these heat shock proteins, basically, not to get too much into the biochemistry, but we activate these proteins which help to direct your natural immune response. So I actually feel like when I'm getting sick, getting into the sauna can really help. If you're in the thick of it and you're really not doing well, I feel like getting in the sauna does not help. Yeah, especially if you have a fever.
Erin Holt [00:29:18]:
You don't want to get into a sauna that is almost worse.
Rachel Mistry [00:29:22]:
But I feel like it speeds up that recovery process. Or if you feel like you're starting to go downhill, it can really help, too, for sure.
Erin Holt [00:29:30]:
Yeah. So, loved sauna. I've invested in so many of them, and I love them all, even the ones I haven't been able to know. Love them all.
Rachel Mistry [00:29:39]:
Love them all.
Erin Holt [00:29:40]:
Scott's going to be so pissed that I told everybody about this.
Rachel Mistry [00:29:47]:
I don't know what this brand is, but my friend has one of those saunas. It's out in her backyard, and so you turn it on and it takes a while to heat up, but it's a whole full blown room. I would have told you it was the Sunlighten, but I know it uses the sun or it's solar powered, basically. So I don't know what the brand is. And she loves it. It's like a room, and it has a couple of red light panels in it. And she said she got like a really big gash on her arm. She scraped herself, and she made an effort when she was in the sauna to hold her arm, like, her wound close to it, and it healed up way more quickly than she would have expected it to.
Erin Holt [00:30:23]:
She was like, it was a pretty red light.
Rachel Mistry [00:30:25]:
With the red light.
Erin Holt [00:30:27]:
Well, maybe since we're talking about red light, I should segue into the. I was going to talk about this in things that we've actually purchased and don't use, but the Omnilux led, I think that's what it's called. It's the face mask. I've posted it on instagram a few times, and everyone's like, what are you wearing? Because it looks like crazy, but it's a red light mask for your face, and you just wear it for ten minutes a day. And so the red light, like you just said, how it helps to speed up wound recovery, it also can be really helpful for the skin on your face. Why people use it, why I bought it, is like, I'm really not trying to do botox and injectables into my face. I have a history of autoimmunity. I'm not trying to inject things into my face.
Erin Holt [00:31:17]:
I don't shame anybody for doing it. I understand. I live in the same culture that you do. I get it. And also, it feels like risky business to me, but also, I'm vain, so I want to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles, and that's what it does. I also have rosacea. It's not bad, but I spend so much time outside in the wind in the cold winter months, and then I take really hot showers. And those are, like, two of the worst things you can do if you have rosacea.
Erin Holt [00:31:45]:
But I'm like, sorry, it's just I got to live my life out here, and so it can be helpful for the redness in your face, too. So actually, my esthetician, Lee Holistic Skin and Tonics, I'm sure a lot of people follow her. She's been on the podcast before. She recommends them and really loves them. So I bought it $400, and I've had it for six months, and I've used it, like, six times. I just cannot establish a habit around it. I'm, like, trying my best, but I can't do it because you have to have completely naked skin, so you can't have any lotions, any oils, nothing on your skin. I used it one time with something on my skin, and it burned, and so you have to wash your face and then immediately use it.
Erin Holt [00:32:32]:
And I just can't establish a routine with it. So if I manage to do it, I will let you know. So I just haven't been consistent enough to be like, oh, I've gotten phenomenal results on it. People really do say that they get good results. I don't know. I haven't done enough to say that.
Rachel Mistry [00:32:51]:
And I was going to say, like, the flip side. I have a couple of patients that I'm working with who just have those red light panels, and they'll start or end their day with it so they can kind of get it on the full body. I know the Therasage, the little red light panels, they are detachable, so you can pull them out and just get an adapter plug for the wall. So there's other ways that you can bring red light into your routine, too.
Erin Holt [00:33:12]:
Without having to slap a mask on. The other thing is, it's really bad for your eyes. So you have to have your eyes closed. So it's not like something where you can just put the mask on and watch tv or scroll on your phone or read a book. You're just, like, there with your eyes closed. So I like to meditate when I do it, so I feel like I'm doing something. Since we're talking about face, I'd be curious if you do anything for a skincare routine or do you use any trinkets for your face?
Rachel Mistry [00:33:47]:
No, I've bought the gua sha, and I struggle to get into a good routine with it. I used to have really bad TMJ, and so, honestly, I would use the gua sha and go in, like, a little bit more aggressively on my jaw. My physical therapist, who I used to work with, she would have me do these hand massages, and I would use the gua sha to go down my jaw. I really like that. When I feel like I have time in the morning, sometimes I'll do it under my chin. My dad's side of the family is middle eastern, so I feel like I'm more prone to having multiple chins. My grandma. Yeah, at least my grandma did.
Erin Holt [00:34:24]:
That's, like, a thing, something you're mindful of. I have, like, a few gua sha stones. I could never really get into a routine with that either. However, facial cupping, I do it every single day. I've really baked it in, and I love it. I think part of it, too, is, like, I know what I'm doing. So I purchased a course from the facial cupping expert. She's actually going to be on the podcast.
Erin Holt [00:34:51]:
She's coming on next month, I think. And it's maybe like a 40, 50, $60 course. And she just goes through the exact steps to do so. I'm like, oh, I feel, like, empowered. I know what I'm doing. Sometimes with gua sha, I'm like, what am I doing? I have no idea. I'm just, like, rubbing this stone on my face. I'm not really sure.
Erin Holt [00:35:07]:
So there's, like, a specific routine, and I do it every day. It takes me, like, less than ten minutes. I love it. I got the facial cups from Lee, from Holistic Skin and Tonics, so I'll make sure that I'll link those in the show notes. She also has really nice gua sha stones if people want to purchase those. Yeah, I'm a fan of moving the lymph in your face. It makes a big difference.
Erin Holt [00:38:07]:
Let's talk about things for, like, just general health. Because the reason that I want to talk about this is because you introduced me to the walking pad, and I am forever grateful because I resisted it for a really long time. But I am completely and utterly obsessed.
Rachel Mistry [00:38:26]:
I love it. There's lots of fancy brands. I think that's what holds a lot of people back from getting a walking pad is there are some online that are like 600, 800 plus dollars. And I think mine off of Amazon was 200 ish dollars. And I use it all the time. It's great. I feel like a standing desk also. I don't know how much a standing desk is.
Rachel Mistry [00:38:47]:
100 and 5200. It's really nice when you have a really stationary, sedentary job. I don't always use it on my patient calls, especially if I'm taking lots of notes or we're putting together a big treatment plan. But if I'm sending write ups or on our team calls, I feel like I'll pop on the walking pad and just like it helps get movement when the weather is crummy. And yeah, I love it. I feel like you've been really liking yours.
Erin Holt [00:39:12]:
I've been really liking mine. And I'll make sure that we do link up the specific one we have because maybe I'm calling it a walking pad, but I actually think WalkingPad is like a trademarked brand, so neither of us have the WalkingPad. Those are nice. They're like more like the 500, 600 or more dollars price point. But you can fold them up so ours you can't fold up. So I just move it because I'm sitting down at my desk right now and I just move it to the side so I have space in my office for that. But if you have an at home office in your bedroom, you might want to invest in one that you could actually fold up. But this one just slides underneath.
Erin Holt [00:39:49]:
I'll also link up the standing desk that I have because it goes up and down. I got that on Amazon for like $200.
Rachel Mistry [00:39:56]:
Yeah, I think I got mine off of Costco. It was really reasonable, too.
Erin Holt [00:40:01]:
Yeah. So we're not buying restoration hardware stuff over here. We're cost effective. But the reason that I just didn't think I would ever use it, that's why I didn't buy, was very, I surprised with myself with how much I use it. And I do a lot of computer work, obviously, but Rachel does a lot of client facing work, so she can't be know running miles while she's talking to her clients. But I do a lot of behind the scenes stuff, so I can kind of log quite a few miles. And it just feels so much better to walk than to sit. And I create a lot, I'm writing a lot, I'm creating programs a lot.
Erin Holt [00:40:42]:
And when I'm walking, the creative juices come. That's why when I go for walks, I always have my phone and I'm taking notes into my phone. But now I can just write pages and pages of content while I walk. So I really love it. Strong recommend, and it's just another way to get more movement. Most of us need that. More steps into your daily life. So high recommend from the both of us.
Erin Holt [00:41:09]:
What about the Verilux light? Did we talk about that yet?
Rachel Mistry [00:41:12]:
I recommend that a lot, especially this time of year. I see a lot of women, I go over a lot of DUTCH tests where I see a lot of gals have really kind of flatlined or low cortisol curves throughout the day. And basically, Verilux is a brand of the full spectrum light that I recommend primarily because it's available on Amazon. There are different sizes. They're between like 30 and $60. Some are like the size of your phone. Some are the size of maybe like a computer screen. And it basically emits full spectrum light.
Rachel Mistry [00:41:41]:
So if you're not able to get outside because it's too cold, if it's raining, if it's snowy, I have a lot of patients, when they're using it consistently, they just see better mood and energy this time of year. It can kind of help to prevent that seasonal affective disorder just really energizing in general. So I recommend people use it in the morning and then again in the afternoon for at least five minutes as a way to stimulate. Tell your body, hey, it's daytime, don't fall asleep on me. All of that good stuff.
Erin Holt [00:42:09]:
And so the Verilux light that we're talking about is different than the red light therapy that we were talking about. So that's like an important distinction to make. So we're like just having people buy a bunch of lights also, this is how we started the conversation. You could go outside. So we're not saying you have to buy one light for this and one light for this, one light for this. Being in nature, being outside, getting yourself exposed to the sun, dimming the lights in your house, all of that can also help to establish a circadian rhythm, reducing your stress. All of the foundations and the basics can do these things. We are basically just like biohacking.
Erin Holt [00:42:46]:
The fact that many of us are not living according to what our bodies actually need. We are living a lifestyle that's very out of sync with what our biology actually needs to thrive. And so that's why all of these things exist, is because we're living so abnormally according to what our actual human bodies need, that we have to override them with biohacks. So I feel like that's an important part of the conversation here, for sure.
Rachel Mistry [00:43:15]:
And kind of on the related note, are those blue light blocking glasses? Those can be really helpful. I mean, of course, don't look at screens 30 minutes to an hour plus before bed. Like, dim the lights as the night progresses. That is more important. But honestly, it's easier said than done. I've talked to my husband about this so many times, and he's like, okay, sure. So we got. Oh, my God.
Rachel Mistry [00:43:37]:
I'm blanking on the name right now of the actual brand, but it's their actual amber colored lenses. They look like red lenses, not just the yellow blue light blockers. And he can be looking at his phone and he'll still fall asleep instead of, like, staying up all night looking at his phone screen.
Erin Holt [00:43:53]:
Oh, you've converted him. He's a believer now.
Rachel Mistry [00:43:57]:
Well, and I originally bought them for myself, so I wear contacts or glasses, and my prescription is pretty heavy. And so in the evenings, what I would found is I'm wearing my contacts. I have my blue light blockers over them, but then I'm going into the bathroom, turning the lights on so I can take out my contacts. And I felt like it wasn't serving its purpose for me or I would wear my glasses and the blue light blockers over it. That felt a little too much. So that's why I gave it to him.
Erin Holt [00:44:25]:
You know what? I will say this has been a very interesting observation this week, because I'm creating Manifest Your Wealth right now. I've been on my computer from, like, 07:00 a.m. To 07:00 p.m. Pretty much, and not really getting outside. I'm just, like, in a wicked work zone. I'm like, it's just like a focused, intentional time. So I don't usually live my life like this, but I'm just in that season right now, and my mood towards the end of the week, it's like I feel like I want to cry for no reason. And I'm like, nothing's wrong.
Erin Holt [00:44:56]:
Nothing's to be sad about, but I just want to cry. I've been more grouchy, really tired, but not able to fall asleep. So the unnatural light that we're exposed to day in and day out, especially from our screens, it really does create some dysregulation within the brain, and that's just, like, something to be aware of. So if you're like, there's nothing I can do about it. I work on a computer. This is my life. Then using some of these tools can be very supportive of your overall health, given the current landscape of your life. But, yeah, I'm surprised at how dysregulated I am.
Erin Holt [00:45:34]:
Just not outside enough and way too much computer time. I feel bad.
Rachel Mistry [00:45:40]:
I was going to say there are settings, if you have an iPhone, where you can turn off all the blue light, where the screen will almost look red. And then I even had a patient, like, a couple of years ago, they bought, like, a cover for their laptop because they were just, like, really busy working late at night. They're like, I can't not be on a computer. They didn't like the glasses because I think they wore glasses already. And so they put this screen over the front of their laptop.
Erin Holt [00:46:05]:
Oh, that's smart. People are out there. They're doing it. They are crafty. How about gadgets? This is kind of a head nod to an episode that I released a couple of weeks ago where science meets the sacred, because I was like, hey, I love me some gadgets and gizmos. However, if we're only relying on external data points, it tends to bring us further and further away from ourselves, not closer to ourselves. So with that, let's talk about some of the gadgets and gizmos, and let's talk about our opinions or our experience with them. We can start with CGMs, continuous glucose monitors.
Erin Holt [00:46:43]:
I've definitely talked about these on the show before. I love the idea of them. I love the premise of them. I think the data that they can give us is fantastic. I wore one for two months straight, and I do feel like I gleaned a lot of data from that a little bit in response to or how my body was responding to certain foods. I saw dates and GoMacro bars. Those were the two things that I was like, oh, interesting. But then my blood sugar came right back down, so I'm like, okay, I still have good control.
Erin Holt [00:47:16]:
I used to get the So Delicious coconut milk ice cream, like, once in a while as a treat, and after I saw what it did to my blood sugar, I have never eaten that. I was like, oh, my God, this is insane. So there's, like, a couple of things that I learned. I think my biggest takeaway was how much stress or lack of sleep influenced my blood sugar. I think that's, like, a wicked, eye opening thing to be like, oh, it's not just the food. Oh, okay. I have to work on my stress. I have to make sure I'm sleeping.
Erin Holt [00:47:46]:
Oh, got it. And Nutrisense had gifted me three months of their CGM. And after two months, I'm like, I'm good. I didn't love having something in my arm. After a while, it felt, like, a little uncomfortable. And I'm like, I've gotten all the data that I need from this, so I can move on. So I know some people wear them every single day, period. That's just what they do.
Erin Holt [00:48:13]:
I don't know how necessary that is. I think you can kind of get one, gather up the information, and then get out. What are your thoughts there?
Rachel Mistry [00:48:21]:
I feel very similarly. I was just having a conversation with a patient about this the other day where he's having some nighttime wakings and just, like, some energy highs and lows, and he likes the data. And I was like, why don't we try this? But for short term, I feel very similarly. I did Very, V-E-R-I, I use their continuous glucose monitor, and I think I did six or eight weeks as well. And by the end of it, I was just experimenting. I was like, okay, what happens when I eat this? Or I would eat the same thing, but in a different order. And I did notice, like, oh, if I start with my protein or my veggies instead of my carbs, my blood sugar responded differently. We got Jersey Mikes when we were, like, road tripping somewhere.
Rachel Mistry [00:49:00]:
And I had the continuous glucose monitor on, and my blood sugar was crazy high. And I can say, not that we eat there a ton regularly, but now I'm like, okay, it's way too much, like, carbs and bread and not enough. Anything else? So it's something we probably already knew, but it was good to see. It was fun to experiment more than anything. But ultimately, I think we really need to tune into how do our bodies feel? Like, what are our bodies telling us? Not like, what is this app telling me more than anything?
Erin Holt [00:49:30]:
Yeah. And I can tell you, back when I used to eat the coconut yogurt, or what the hell? So Delicious coconut ice cream, I would always get a headache, and my joints would feel swollen afterwards. So it's like the messages were there. They were coming from inside the house. I was just blatantly ignoring them. It's fine. Also, what you said about kind of experimenting, I kind of like to suggest that people, they don't use the CGM as a starting point. Dial in your nutrition, get the basics down, and then maybe tinker around with the CGM to experiment to see, like, oh, how does things respond to me? But I think if you're eating the standard american diet, I don't know if that's the best starting point.
Erin Holt [00:50:16]:
Do you know what I mean? Or maybe I'm totally wrong. Maybe people are like, I actually needed to see the data in order to change my behavior, so I guess it's up to the person. Another gadget that I bought this maybe, like, eight years ago. It's the HeartMath. I don't know what they call it, but it's basically, there's a little tiny box, and you put your finger, like, your thumbprint on it. So it's like tracking your heart rate, or you clip something to your ear. I remember clipping something to my ear. Either way, it's tracking your heart rate, and it's giving you a cadence to breathe.
Erin Holt [00:50:54]:
You're supposed to be focusing on your heart and breathing, so it's getting you into heart coherence, and then it's tracking to make sure you're actually in heart coherence. And I did this like, Hattie was a baby. We had just moved here, and it was a low point in my life, and I was not feeling well, and I needed that. They refer to it as biofeedback. I needed that biofeedback to tell me you're okay or you're really not okay. But I don't use it anymore. I haven't used it in years and years. But it was like, a good way to establish a practice and teach my body what it felt like to be in heart coherence.
Erin Holt [00:51:31]:
That was another couple of $100 gadget. So I think that we can probably meditate for free and do the same thing. But if you struggle with that, then that could be something to consider. They do still sell them. Another thing is like HRV trackers. Do you have one of those?
Rachel Mistry [00:51:50]:
No.
Erin Holt [00:51:51]:
Do you have an aura ring?
Rachel Mistry [00:51:53]:
No. I'm on the fence about it. I think the main reason why gals that I've spoken to have really liked it is because it can track your basal body temperature. So it can be a really helpful way to practice the fertility awareness method without actually having to check your temperature each month or every morning. And so that would be the main reason why I would be interested in purchasing it personally. But I also don't know that it would be building the habit of putting the ring on every night. And I'm like, I don't know that I want to spend $300 just to get the temperature data for myself personally.
Erin Holt [00:52:27]:
Yeah, I have never really been interested in them. I did buy a Garmin watch a few years ago that tracks your steps, it tracks your sleep, it tracks your hrV. And I liked it for a period of time, but I'm like, I don't want Bluetooth on my wrist all day every day. I don't want to sleep with it. And so I was like, I don't want to feel like I have to rely on this. So it was kind of a short lived thing. It was like another $400 purchase that I'm like, okay, never going to use that again. And then what about vagus nerve stimulators? I know your clients have asked you about this from time to time.
Erin Holt [00:53:07]:
Do you have a strong opinion here?
Rachel Mistry [00:53:09]:
I feel like I'm not familiar with brand names off the top of my head. So my patients have asked me about them because I think they'll get ads off of social media, and I think that there is a very specific patient population who could benefit from them. But I'm more of a fan of, like, could you maybe do some breathwork or meditation? Or there are certain exercises you can engage in, like a gazing exercise to activate your vagus nerve, as opposed to having to hook one more thing up to you to get the benefit from it. So I haven't recommended them in practice.
Erin Holt [00:53:45]:
Yeah, same here. And again, if you're listening to this and you're like, I have one and I use it and I love it. Great. Awesome. I remember teaching a lecture years ago. I was at my friend's studio. She owns a physical therapy office. I don't know what I'm trying to say.
Erin Holt [00:54:04]:
Business, studio and practice. And I was talking about gut health. And I was talking about the vagus nerve, and I was talking about different ways to stimulate the vagus nerve. And she was like, kind of chuckling, and she's like, this is like her zone of genius. And she's like, yeah, or you can just relax and do things to support your parasympathetic nervous system. And so that was like a little bit of an eye opener for me, that the vagus nerve is wildly important. It connects the brain down to the gut, and it interfaces with a lot of other organs. So it's not to undermine the importance of the vagus nerve, but also, do we need another several hundred dollars gadget to support it? I mean, this brings me to the free wellness, right? Go outside nature exposure.
Erin Holt [00:54:52]:
There's tremendous benefits there. Grounding feet on the actual earth, being by ocean spray or waterfalls, running water. All of that puts ions into the air that we get to benefit from. Walking, sunlight, getting adequate sleep, sleep hygiene, circadian rhythm, like dimming the lights. Like we talked about wearing the blue blocker glasses. Breathwork. Pranayama. Rachel just mentioned that diaphragmatic breathing, like teaching yourself how to breathe properly.
Erin Holt [00:55:22]:
Grab a YouTube video for free 99 and teach yourself how to breathe. Meditation. Hot, cold, contrast shower. Like, you could do the cold plunge, or you could just start by turning down the faucet. Make it cold in your shower. Free inner healing work. Like EFT, self forgiveness, self compassion, it costs you nothing. Setting and upholding boundaries, these things cost you nothing.
Erin Holt [00:55:50]:
Protecting your time and space. So it's like the gadgets, the gizmos, the hacks, the tools, the resources, they're there if you need them. But these are the things that are really going to support your overall health. One thing that I wanted to do, we didn't really talk about this, but I wanted to talk about kitchen gadgets, things that you've bought, and you're like, I'm so glad that I own this. This was definitely worth spending money on. Do you have any off the top of your head?
Rachel Mistry [00:56:18]:
I have this veggie chopper. I feel like you've posted about it. I don't know if you have it or not.
Erin Holt [00:56:23]:
I don't have it.
Rachel Mistry [00:56:25]:
I love it. It's like $20 off of Amazon. We got it for our wedding. I use it probably once a week. It's basically like a Slap Chopper. It's a little plastic container. It dices your onions, your bell peppers, your sweet potatoes. It can do it in different sizes.
Rachel Mistry [00:56:42]:
I'm holding up my hands like people can see it. Like it can be diced or it can be cubed, and it's great for soups, for salsas. I use it once a week at least. Sometimes I will prep onions for the week if I know I'm making a bunch of recipes that have diced onions in it. I'll just dice up, like, three to four onions, and then they're in the fridge in a Tupperware for the rest of the week. So I love that. I use my Vitamix a lot. I know you use your high speed blender a lot as well to make your coffee, and I don't know.
Rachel Mistry [00:57:14]:
I bought a juicer. I think you have one, too. And I really don't use it because of the cleanup and the mess and.
Erin Holt [00:57:20]:
The whole ordeal that it is.
Rachel Mistry [00:57:21]:
It was fun. It's fun when I use it.
Erin Holt [00:57:25]:
Yeah. I've had different juicers in the same deal. I ended up just giving them away because I'm like, I never use these things because it's not that I don't like juice or fundamentally opposed to it. The cleanup is just, like, such a bristly bear that I'm like, I don't just. Nah, I feel like the Vitamix. I'm on my second one. The first one lasted a long time. Actually, I still have the second one.
Erin Holt [00:57:49]:
I just moved it to the lake house. But that is something that I use at least once a day, more oftentimes three times a day, because making soups and salad dressing and smoothies and anything that begins with an s, my blended coffee, we just use it all of the time. So by the time it came time to upgrade, I was like, I have no problem investing in this because I know how much I'm going to use it. I feel the same way about my instant pot. I use that an awful lot. So mine is so dirty because it's, like, so road hard. I've used it so, so much. So I feel like that's a nice one to have.
Erin Holt [00:58:25]:
What I have not invested in. Anytime I talk about nut milk, people are like, do you have the Almond Cow? And I'm like, I don't. For some reason, I can't rationalize spending $350 on something that I do without another gadget is kind of what I think.
Rachel Mistry [00:58:42]:
Yeah.
Erin Holt [00:58:43]:
Do you have one of those?
Rachel Mistry [00:58:44]:
No, I don't have one of those. Because you can just blend. You posted a video about this on social media. You can just soak your nuts and blend them up, and then you're good to go. Or even, like, hemp milk. I've done that where you don't have to strain it. I think it's fun.
Erin Holt [00:58:57]:
And I don't use a nut milk bag either. I was like, I won't do violence to myself. No, I'll just put it through a strainer and we're going to call it a day. The squeezing and the washing of the bag, it's all too much for me. So that doesn't happen. Oh, you know what we didn't talk about. I feel like we need to just give our poor little Rebounders a shout out and then we can be done with this conversation because we both have Rebounders. And I've had Leah on the show before Lymph Love, and she is like a Rebounder evangelist.
Erin Holt [00:59:35]:
And after listening to her, I was like, I'm going to get one. I'm going to do it, and I'm going to rebound my little heart out. And I never use it. It's just old and in the way. It's never not in the way. So now it is up in the attic where it shall stay, probably forever.
Rachel Mistry [00:59:53]:
Mine is next to me on my desk right now. It moves from my office to our bedroom, depending on if we have guests staying with us. And every time Taylor's like, are you going to finally give this away? Now? I'm like, no, it's good for us. Maybe if I remember to use it, I'll do it on days like after we fly or before we fly. That is about it. I used it the most when I was actually doing exercise classes on the Rebounder. That was really fun. I love that.
Rachel Mistry [01:00:18]:
But it's not part of my routine to just bounce on it every day.
Erin Holt [01:00:22]:
Wait, were you going to a class that had Rebounders, or you were, like, following a class at home?
Rachel Mistry [01:00:27]:
I was following a class at home doing it. Yeah, it was really fun.
Erin Holt [01:00:32]:
All right, well, maybe I'll dust mine off and bust it back out. Point is, it's very good for you. It's very good for lymph and therefore detoxification. And it's one of those things that it's like, do as I say, not as I do. I would say. All right, well, hopefully this was insightful. And now you know what we love and what we think about things that we're getting asked about in our dms all of the time. Anything else, Rachel? Are we good?
Rachel Mistry [01:00:58]:
I think we're good.
Erin Holt [01:00:59]:
All right, thanks for listening. Bye bye.
