Dr. Lydia & Dr. Connor's favorite healthy habits for a balanced life
1. Never drink coffee on an empty stomach in the morning
2. Ditch plastic food containers for glass - reheating plastic releases toxic phthalates and BPA which are endocrine disruptors
3. Swap your desk chair for a standing desk and/or yoga ball
4. Try drinking up two-thirds of your body weight in ounces of water
5. Eat within 30 minutes of waking
6. Start replacing your products with non-toxic skin care & make-up - Dr. Lydia's favorite brands are Crunchi and BeautyCounter
7. Read food labels - if you can't pronounce it or it sounds like it was made in a lab, best to avoid
8. Get fresh air every day, especially if you work from home - a quick walk around the block gives you movement, vitamin D, and change of scenery
9. Take your vitamins - our daily favs are omega-3 fish oil, digestive enzymes, immune boosters, elderberry syrup
10. Ditch chlorinated tampons, pads, liners with organic, non-bleached products
11. Stay out of the middle aisles of the grocery store
12. Swap your usual cheese out for raw cheeses, goat, sheep cheese
13. Ditch soda, try kombucha instead
14. Swap home fragrances/candles for essential oils and beeswax candles
15. Add strength training to your exercise - specifically middle/lower traps, rhomboids, glutes
16. Make healthy freezer meals for emergencies - helps avoid ultra-processed fast food
17. Limit your news consumption
18. Choose experiences over gifts
19. Have more sex
20. Fill your home with what makes you smile - fresh flowers or live plants brighten up these dark winter days
