Holistic Wellness Gift Guide

Buying meaningful holiday presents is becoming increasingly harder when competing against our loved ones’ algorithms that can deliver products specifically curated for their tastes with a single click on any day of the year. Instead of trying to find the perfect present someone hasn’t already bought themselves, a great idea for gift-giving this season is a health and wellness investment that will outlast any trend. Gut and skin care are especially important for building a foundation for life-long health. Whether you’re purchasing for a wellness enthusiast or someone just looking to develop healthy habits, Barrett Recovery offers holistic products that work great for stocking stuffers, secret Santa, and any other gifting opportunities. Below, we’ve listed the best gift-able supplements and devices for the holidays, so this season, you can treat your loved ones (or yourself!) to the latest technology in anti-aging and gut health, ensuring a healthy start for the new year.

Skin Care:

Our skin is the largest organ in our bodies — it protects our internal organs from the outside world and regulates our body temperature. Since the skin serves as such an important barrier, shielding the body from germs and other hazards, it’s often the first part of us to display signs of aging. Skincare gifts are great for people of any age; young people benefit from preventative care, creating as much protection for the years ahead while people later in life can enjoy rejuvenation and repair. Here are three ideas for skin-care-related presents: 

NMNH Supplement: Barrett Plastic Surgery recommends a holistic approach to preserving our skin’s youthful qualities, and unlike most anti-aging supplements and routines that treat the symptoms of aging, NMNH/NAD+ Support supplement gets under the hood of the car, targeting aging at the molecular level. New research finds that a compound found in all living cells called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) aids in fighting free radicals, repairing broken DNA, and conserving the resources our bodies need to stay healthy while aging gracefully. By focusing on longevity science, NMNH enhances our quality of life by making our cells perform at an optimal level, making it a great gift for people over 40. 

Benefits of NMNH/NAD+ Support:

• Healthier skin
• Better sleep
• Increased cellular energy
• Supports DNA repair
• Enhances cognitive function
• Metabolic support

Red Light Therapy Panel: Barrett Recovery’s Red Light Therapy panel harnesses the power of red light to help combat signs of aging, improve the look of your skin, and elevate your daily beauty routine. Red light therapy is the latest trend on the cutting edge of skincare technology — studies suggest that exposing the body to low-wavelength red light can rejuvenate cells, improve collagen production, assist in healing, and help with pain management. Our compact panel allows you to reap the benefits of red light at home; at 19.7″ x 11.8″ x 2.6, it’s the perfect size for at-home use and powerful enough for full-body treatments. 

Red Light Therapy Mask: Similar to the Red Light Therapy Panel, this device specifically targets the face for red light therapy. As we age, we want to keep as many cells alive and healthy as possible to combat fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. Red light therapy achieves this by promoting overall cell health and function while producing more collagen. With more collagen, the skin takes on a firmer, smoother, and more youthful appearance.

Benefits of Red Light Therapy:

Red light therapy allows the cells to work at the top of their potential, leading to many other valuable benefits:

• Improves stretch marks
• Accelerates wound healing
• Treats burns
• Combats sun damage
• Increases blood circulation 
• Reduces inflammation
• Assists with muscle repair
• Alleviates joint pain
• Stimulates hair growth
• Improves skin texture
• Evens skin tone
• Treatments of specific skin conditions like acne, scars, eczema, and psoriasis

Our red light therapy face mask utilizes the power of near-infrared (NIR), red, blue, and amber/yellow light to target various skin concerns with unparalleled precision. Blue light is great for acne-prone skin and helps kill bacteria. Amber light is used to reduce inflammation, reduce redness, and promote a balanced complexion. 

Gut Health: 

Holistic wellness focuses on addressing all components of healing to achieve optimal health. Instead of merely treating isolated symptoms or reliving an ailment, holistic wellness considers everything to be connected. Gut health is important because how our stomachs break down food and turns it into nutrients has a major impact on the rest of our body both physically and mentally. Research shows there is a link between our gut and our immune system, mental health, and sleep. Supplements that assist with gut health and optimize the body’s functions are good gifts for people looking to enhance their wellness routine. Here are three supplements great for gifting:

CALMg: CALMg is a magnesium supplement specifically crafted to help you feel more relaxed and fall asleep quickly without waking throughout the night. Magnesium is a naturally occurring mineral in the human body necessary for over 600 functions, including protein formation, energy production, muscle and nerve function, and blood pressure regulation. Those deficient in magnesium experience higher risks of illness and lower overall health. CALMg contains all seven types of magnesium, each working together to completely support the body’s functions. Most people believe magnesium is a game of quantity, simply trying to increase their intake, but they’re still only getting one to two forms on average. CALMg is a quality formula created to address every part of the body by containing the full spectrum of magnesium.

BIOptimizers: 

Biooptimizer supplements are perfect stocking stuffers for optimizing your wellness girl routine. Want healthy and thick hair, glowing skin, and perfect nails? That all starts with your gut, and these supplements will ensure you have the key enzymes and probiotics you need. 

MassZymes Shown to increase the absorption of key amino acids and certain vitamins, MassZymes allows for better digestion and gut health, while also increasing energy levels, enhancing mental clarity and focus, and promoting faster muscle recovery. Formulated with 100,000 units of protein-digesting enzymes per capsule, these capsules are vegetarian- and vegan-friendly and contain no dairy or soy. Incomplete protein digestion can result in food fragments that can cause food allergies or sensitivities. MassZymes is designed to maximize protein digestion and minimize inflammation from food.

MicroBiome Breakthrough: MicroBiome Breakthrough is a powerful combination of IgY Max™ and synbiotics (probiotics and prebiotics). It is synergistically designed to weed out bad bacteria and re-seed the good ones, as well as repair the gut lining.
