Danika's Favorite Products
I often get asked questions like...
"what kind of Matcha do you use?", "what's the best natural makeup and deodorant?", "what's that probiotic I saw in your Instagram story?", "what size is your cast iron skillet", and so on.
And I am incredibly honored that you care!
I thought it might make things easier to link to all my favorite things on one page for you
Multi-Vitamins: Puori Daily Packets
Recommended by my functional nutritionist. I take these daily paired with beef liver, a B Vitamin for Stress, and a daily probiotic.
Probiotic: Daily Probiotic from Prescript-Assist
Recommended by my functional nutritionist. I take one of these every morning for a healthy gut and digestion.
B-VItamin for Stress: THorne Stress-B Complex
Recommended by my functional nutritionist as a result of my blood labs. I take this daily in the morning.
Natural Deodorant: Primally Pure Charcoal Deodorant
This is my go-to Deodorant. I've tried a ton of natural deodorants and this one really works. For me I get a little sensitivity after shaving so typically avoid putting it on in the day or two afterwards. this reaction is typical of baking soda for some people and a much better option than lathering on some of the toxic ingredients in natural deodorant
Collagen: Vital Proteins Grass-Fed Pasture-Raised Collagen Peptides
I add a scoop of this every morning to my Matcha or coffee as part of my bulletproof morning drink
Functional Nutritionist Jackie Mulligan
I've been working with Jackie for the last couple years and her work has been incredibly valuable to me. She can work with you remotely via Skype and focuses on all things health: nutrition, sleep, stress, work, movement, etc. She can run blood labs if necessary too and works with you on a holistic basis. I couldn't recommend her more.
Functional Mushrooms: Four Sigmatic Chaga Mushroom Elixir
I add one packet of these Chaga Mushrooms to my morning bulletproof Matcha
Hair Cut + Color (Newport Beach): Lindsey Lepore at Tress Apothecary + salon
Lindsey has been doing my year for almost a decade and I adore her. She cares deeply about the quality of your hair and is very go-with-the-flow. She is laid back and one of the most genuine and talented people I know. I have never had a bad cut or color from her!
Classpass - Fitness/Wellness Membership
I swear by classpass for my "gym" membership. You buy a package of credits that can be used at studios all over the US. From yoga to reformer pilates, Infrared Saunas to float tanks, HIIT Training to mediation, classpass has it all. You can even access the good old gym if that's what you want and save TONS of money doing it. Classpass also lets you easily flex your membership to a different city for free, so if you happen to travel, you can stay consistent with your workouts in any location. They have a great app that makes booking easy and is perfect for a busy schedule. You can even join with a friend and plan classes together. I can't say enough good things about Classpass!
Matcha: Four Sigmatic Mushroom Matcha Drink Mix
This is my current favorite Matcha. It has functional mushrooms in it (Lion's Mane) that help me really to focus naturally throughout the day. I use 1.5 tsp in my morning bulletproof matcha every day
Beef Liver: Vital Proteins Pasture-Raised Beef Liver Tablets
Recommended by my functional nutritionist as a result of my blood labs. I take three of these daily.
Book: Women Food and God by Geneen Roth
This book completely changed the way I look at my relationship with food. I struggled with emotional eating and binging most of my life and Geneen's work really opened my eyes to an alternative way of thinking about food. I first saw this book on Oprah and it changed my life.
Cast Iron Skillet: Lodge L8SK3 10-1/3 Inch Pre Seasoned Skillet
I bought this on amazon about a year ago and it has held up nicely and is super affordable. I typically add ghee or coconut oil to the pan to season it after cooking (on the rare occasions that I remember to)
The Firestarter Sessions by Danielle LaPorte
This is my go-to recommendation for anyone searching for answers about what to do or how to live their life. Danielle Laporte asks some of the most thought provoking questions and I love her style. She'll help you to learn how to navigate your life based on how you desire to feel.
RMS Beauty Cover Up/Face Makeup: Uncover Up #33
I first tried this makeup on a photoshoot for Old Navy where the makeup artist (who was very interested in natural beauty used it on me) and I loved it. It Is non-toxic and gives great coverage with a natural glow. I also love their "Buriti Bronzer" and their "living luminizer"
This is the first book I recommend for anyone looking to change what they eat. it is the first book by the Creators of Whole30 and does a great job explaining how food works in our bodies and why certain foods help us thrive and others do the opposite
Matcha: DoMatcha Organic Summer Harvest Matcha
This was the first matcha I started using and I think it's great. Currently I am using the Foursigmatic Matcha above because I like the functional mushrooms but this is a nice pure one that's not crazy expensive
BLENDER: Vitamix 7500 Blender, White
I use this daily to mix my morning Bulletproof Matcha or Coffee. It is an investment but so worth it. Great for smoothies, soups, purees, sauces, and more. I liked the white one to match my kitchen
Guided Meditations: Oprah and Deepak Chopra "Finding Your Flow"
This was the first thing I used when I started meditating. These 20 minute guided meditations were incredibly helpful in, well, finding my flow. All of their guided meditations are great but this is the one I started with. They offer free 21-Day Challenges often so sign up for their emails so you don't miss them.
A Return to Love By Marianne Williamson
This is my favorite book of all time. I have read it multiple times and it always rocks my world. It is spiritual and must be read slowly to soak up the meaning of every word, but when you're ready for it, it will blow your mind
