We proudly test on humans!
With the sheer volume of wellness services and products out there, it can feel impossible to discern what’s worth your time—not to mention your money!
IF IT’S LISTED ON THIS PAGE, WE HAVE DEEMED IT WORTHY OF OURS.
Use it as a launching pad for your own exploration, and let us know if you have questions, or something you think should be added to the list! We would love to be your guinea pigs. Sharing information is the best way to lift each other up.
Life Changing Books
Remember “required reading” in high school? We think these should be required reading for life. (But don’t worry, there won’t be a pop quiz).
THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.
We’ve excluded anything too niche in the spirit of there being no one path to wellness. There is an over saturation of information and diets out there which is confusing because each one touts itself as the answer, but it’s only the answer for some people. Different bodies respond to different methodologies.
Should we ever work together, we might recommend something not found on this list that particularly applies to you. These provide a great foundation if you’re interested in learning a bit about your own body, and even more so, your own humanity.
When you want to treat yourself—but don’t want to break the bank.
While we don’t believe that wellness can be achieved by swiping your credit card, sometimes a modest purchase can solve a particular problem, or can be something fun and motivating to supplement you on your journey.
Or for when you need to bribe yourself to clean on a Saturday…not that we’ve ever done that.
For when you have a little mad money
Okay, okay. These are expensive and not within everyone’s budget. But if you happen to have a little money burning a hole in your pocket, these are great gifts for yourself or for someone you love.
Providers & services that practice what they preach
This is a short list simply because we are committed to only sharing what we have actually tried in real life in our home, New York City.
THE GOOD NEWS IS, WE ARE LIVING IN EXCITING TIMES!
Businesses and practitioners are popping up everywhere that are working to demystify and democratize health care and life services. If it’s listed here, we can attest that we were treated like human beings, that all costs were communicated clearly and up front, that it was possible to get an appointment within a reasonable amount of time, and that we never felt pressure of any kind.
There were no surprises…unless you count our surprise to discover cloth hospital gowns that actually fit.
It’s our dream to crowdsource a trustworthy and vetted directory of providers and services. If you have had a great experience with a practitioner or business, whether in person or virtual, we would be ever so grateful if you’d share it with us.
A few of our favorite podcasts to (almost) make you forget that traffic is a &%#$@.
Just because it’s listed here, doesn’t mean we endorse and agree with every word spoken on these podcasts. That would be impossible!
WE’RE ALL DIFFERENT PEOPLE WITH WILDLY VARYING LIFE EXPERIENCES.
We can promise you, however, that each and every one of these has taught us something valuable. They have inspired us to challenge our belief systems and question the world around us.
