My Favorite Things from 2022

I was flipping through Oprah's quarterly magazine and checking out the O List. 

As always, Oprah lit the flame of inspiration. 

On podcast EP 135, you'll hear the annual list of my top five favorite things from 2022, but I have more than five!

Here are some of the others products that I currently love using. You'll want to save this email for future reference. 

Treat yourself or gift it to a friend. 

All of these things make me feel good inside and out! 


Clean Protein

I've tasted a lot of protein powders in my day. The tolerable ones had the most additives and fake sweeteners. That is until I tasted this Vanilla Chai protein powder. OMG. It's really delicious...like, I can't wait to drink my protein shake delicious. The best part? It's plant-based and organic. Made from real food. No preservatives. No artificial colors. No artificial sweeteners. Most women don't eat enough protein to support the aging process. If you're not feeling your best, a lack of protein could be the culprit. Not a fan of chai? Try the Banana Cinnamon or Chocolate Peanut Butter. You're welcome. (Truvani Plant-Based Protein Starter Kit, originally $124.96, click here for 52% off, $59.99) truvani.com


Best Face Forward

I fell for the IG ads, the opportunity to try it for free, and the 8000+ 4/5 star reviews. I'm a new fan of this face cream. I'm dealing with dry skin for the first time in my life and this anti-aging, hydrating cream with Hyaluronic Acid didn't disappoint. And it's got Luxe in the name so…obvi. (Il Makiage Power Renew Cream Anti-Aging Luxe Firming Moisturizer, $59) ilmakiage.com


Layer Up!

In the winter, I like to stay warm but I don't like the bulk from laying shirts and sweaters. Enter a solution. LiftWear Cami. A cami and bra all in one. Extra bonus - it acts a smoother. It's super comfortable and I wear it…a lot. I purchased a cheaper version to compare and the Honeylove brand won hands down (and boobs up!)

Write Now

My husband bought a reMarkable for me last Christmas and I use it every. single. day. There are so many ways you can use it, but I use it as a daily journal, course notebook, habit tracker and travel log. I also have a copy of the SDF 90-Day Daily Planner loaded so I can take it with me wherever I go! It's the ultimate notebook. There's no internet and email distractions which is perfect for my neurodivergent brain. And everything syncs to my laptop. (reMarkable 2, originally $299, click here for $40 off) remarkable.com

You can find a ton of reMarkable accessories on Etsy. I found this daily journal and this super cute cowhide cover.  


Stop The Slump

No matter how well I sleep, sometimes I need a pick me up in the afternoon and I don't like to consume caffeine after noon. Enter NoonBrew Afternoon Slump Tea. It's an organic tea with 19 superfoods to help boost energy, focus and digestion. I like to drink it after my afternoon meal if I have work that requires a lot of focus. You can drink it hot or cold. I like to sip it warm at my desk.  (NoonBrew, 30 Servings originally $48, click here to get $10 off) noonbrew.com


Keep Calm and Carry On

Thanks to my client who is an EFT practitioner, I got back into the habit of practicing EFT to calm my nervous system. The Tapping Solution app makes it really easy to get quick relief from stress and anxiety so you can get on with your day. (The Tapping Solution App, free trial)  thetappingsolution.com


Walk On

I traded in my Peloton Bike for the Tread and I love it. I've had my eye on this treadmill since it debuted and I was utterly disappointed when I couldn't get one delivered during the pandemic. As soon as they reinstated delivery, I put my name on the waitlist. It's so convenient to have one in the house. I love a good HIIT run and when I found out that walking for 10 minutes after meals helps to stabilize blood sugar, I started using it multiple times a day. If you're a fan of the Peloton brand, you already know. Follow me at StopDieting4Evr (Peloton Tread, originally $3,495, click here for $100 off) onepeloton.com/tread

Poop Power!

As a certified Health Coach, I'm wary of supplement recommendations, but when my school, Institute of Integrative Nutrition, put their stamp of approval on this brand of 2-in-1 capsule prebiotic and probiotic, I had to try it. I gave it to my husband first and his immediate results were impressive so I followed suit. I've been signing the praises of Seed for weeks now. Every BODY needs gastrointestinal support so if you're not taking a pre+probiotic daily, you need to take these ASAP. Not only is the packaging sublime, but the company is focused on education. The series of emails you receive about poop (among other things) is a welcome bonus. Knowledge is power. (Seed DS-01 Daily Synbiotic, originally $49.99 per month, now 50% off your first month through the end of December with code seedfriend-86mpec9gmb) seed.com

They also have a version for kids! Your family's microbiome will thank you in 2023. This offer expires at the end of the month so order now.

Bottoms Up

I tend to drink less water in the winter. Not on purpose, but who wants to drink cold water when it's cold out? To assist me in my daily goal of drinking 2-3 liters of water a day easier, I lean on a little flavor to help. I've always used electrolytes in my water, but I'm in love with the flavors of LMNT. It's a sugar free electrolyte blend with no fillers, artificial flavors or colors. Just the right ratio of sodium, potassium and magnesium. Just so you know, low sodium levels can be harmful to your health. If you're eating primarily whole foods (as you should), you are at risk for sodium deficiency. Also electrolytes help balance the amount of water in your body. (LMNT, click here for a free Sample Pack with your first order) drinklmnt.com

These are a few of my favorite things from 2022.

Happy New Year,

P.S. On January 7th, I'm facilitating a workshop where I'm teaching my clients how to Create a Big Happy Healthy Habit in 2023. Not by using will power, but by teaching them how to reprogram their brains to overwrite bad habits with better ones. If you know what you should be doing, but it's not sticking, I created this workshop with you in mind. Attend the training and learn how to create consistency so you can see the weight loss result that you want this year. 

This is a member's only event. Join SDF now and you'll be just in time for our January training. https://jenniferdent.com/stopdietingforever
