Amber Lighting
Great for regulating your circadian rhythm - especially in the morning and night hours when its dark outside. We’ve added these nightlights to our home that are motion activated and have loved waking and sleeping to this calm lighting option. You can also opt to put amber bulbs in any lamp!
Himalayan Salt Lighting
While we’re on the topic of lighting - himalayan salt is another great lighting option. From the traditional salt lamp, to nightlights, to lightbulbs there are plenty of options of gifting in this category for ages 0-99!

Feeding the Nobles Cookbook
An aesthetic & practical cookbook DOES exist! My personal trainers wife, Eden, is local to the Indy area wrote an incredible cookbook thats all about “keeping it simple & just eating real food.” Check it out here!
Water Filters
Our local water contains tons of contaminants including herbicides, lead, fluoride, and pharmaceutical drugs. Water filters are a great way to ensure the water that you’re drinking or bathing in is safe to do so. You can attach a filter right to your kitchen sink, to your shower head, and bath faucet for kids to ensure healthy water in all areas of your home.

Organic Weighted Blanket
Weighted blankets have been shown to aid deeper sleep cycles. The weight on your body stimulates the production of serotonin (the happy hormone), reduces cortisol (the stress hormone), and increases melatonin, which helps you fall (and stay) asleep.

Joovv Red Light Therapy
While red light therapy has taken off in the past year as a great wellness tool, its actually not all that new! We’ve been avid red light therapy users since way back in 2019 when we purchased our first in-home panel from Joovv. Since then, tons of other companies have emerged but Joovv has remained our favorite for a few reasons including: medical grade & high quality materials (our until has seen daily use for over 5 years and has had zero issues!) and they also run independent party testing on their devices to ensure safety. You can also use any of those left over end-of-year HSA/FSA funds! Their black friday sale is live or if you’re shopping later in the month you can still save some $$$ by following this link and applying code DRMATT at check out
Chilipad
Another wellness tech item we personally own and LOVE! This bed-cooling system can be personalized for one or two people, has no electrical connections or wires (therefore zero EMFs), and is very easy to set up and maintain. Since using the Chilipad and syncing it with my personal sleep schedule I have gotten consistent deeper sleep and naturally wake up every morning with no startling alarm clock.

Air Doctor
I’ve promoted this product for years on end and it is still one of my favorite home purchases. We now have a 2000 in both of our boys rooms and a 3000 in our room. We opt for the ones that are NOT wi-fi enabled as that keeps the EMF exposure non existent in our rooms. Its incredible to see the filters each time we change them, knowing that there were two options: our lungs inhale these particles of dust, dirt, mold, and toxins or our air purifier :)
