Five Of My Favorite Black Friday Health Finds

Hi Everyone, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Black Friday is here; whether you are a fan or not, there are some good deals on health-related products.

I am sure extensive lists are floating about, but I am mentioning just five products that I trust and regularly recommend to my patients. As a provider, I get better pricing/discounts than the standard Black Friday pricing and am sharing those discount links with you.

I hope you find the information helpful!

πŸ”΄Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet Kits ​

This is the best discount they offer all year and is up to 30-45% off, depending on the amount spent. You just need to use the link, and at checkout, the discount will be given. You do not need a code, just the link. The discount is available through Dec. 2. After that, the link still works, but the discount reverts to my normal provider's 20-25% discount.

Why I like this product:

It is backed by scientific research (very important to me) that shows it slows and reverses aging at the cellular level. It helps blood sugar management, which lowers inflammation, and it aids in weight management and can improve mental health. And, importantly, it is practical, doable, and simple.

​
πŸ”΄Daily Elements​

This is a clean, powdered microgreen product. Easy to travel with, convenient, and healthy.

Why I like this product:

I like it because it is dehydrated microgreen powder, nothing else. They are grown without pesticides and are a great way to get a concentrated amount of antioxidants and greens without potentially bothersome ingredients.

Many 'greens' products on the market have long ingredient lists, some of which my patients can't tolerate. The product also travels well. While whole greens are always best, most people don't find it convenient to blend/juice daily, so a clean powder option is a great addition or substitution.

Getting greens while traveling is also a challenge; this solves that. And you avoid the quick spoilage of microgreens, which can save money in the long run. Low FODMAP, Low Histamine, Gluten-free, SIBO friendly.

Discount is 40% off through Dec. 20th.

πŸ”΄Lifepro Vibration Plates​

If you aren't familiar with vibration plates, click the link above to see my article on the health benefits of vibration plates and my preferred product. The company has already marked them down by 40% for Black Friday. The link below gives you an additional 10% (50% off) plus a free vibration ball (usually $59), which is great for knots and sore muscles.

Why I like this product:

This product can help maintain strong bones and has been shown to prevent bone loss and muscle loss, which occur with normal aging. It is also helpful for stress reduction, improving balance, and aiding sleep. I have many patients who use this and are happy with their results. See my article for links to research and more information

​
​

πŸ”΄Nuropod

A wearable device (use one hour per day) that has been primarily studied for its use in anxiety/stress/vagus nerve stimulation and autonomic dysfunction (POTS, dysautonomia).

Why I like this product:

It is a newer product, just FDA-approved in the US in Sept 2025, but I have been using it since last year. In my experience, it helps almost immediately with anxiety, stress, and sleep disorders related to anxiety/stress, such as nighttime wakings or difficulty falling asleep. It is easy to use, passive, you wear it while you sit, walk, or read...easy.

It has been studied and shown to help dysautonomia, which is common in Long Covid and autoimmune conditions. The Black Friday discount is $90 off. Use the link in the button to receive the discount.

πŸ”΄Apollo Neuro​

A wearable bracelet that is used to improve sleep & focus, and lower stress.

Why I like this product:

I have been using this product with patients for almost two years to improve sleep and lower anxiety. It is easy to use, pair it easily with your phone, set a schedule, and forget about it. See my article to learn more. Click the link below for the discount.
