My 2025 Favorite Things: A Holistic Practitioner’s Year-End Recap

I pay close attention to what actually supports me—physically, energetically, and in daily practice. Over the course of 2025, a small number of products proved themselves by being steady, effective, and worth keeping. Those are what you’ll find here.

Nothing on this list is experimental or trend-driven. Each item aligns with how I work: prioritizing minerals, supporting nervous system regulation, and honoring detox pathways through both physiology and energetics. Some links are affiliate links, and I only share tools I personally use and stand behind.

Supplements & Nutrition

Living Silica

Silica is one of the most underappreciated foundational minerals. It plays a key role in connective tissue strength, collagen formation, skin elasticity, joint integrity, hair and nail health, and arterial resilience. Clinically, silica is also essential for mobilizing aluminum and other metals that interfere with mineral absorption and neurological function.

Living Silica stands out because of its bioavailability and gentle delivery. I use this consistently as part of a long-term mineral repletion strategy rather than a quick fix. Code: KELSEY15

Oyster Max Zinc (Marine Health Foods)

Zinc is critical for immune function, hormone production, gut lining repair, wound healing, and cognitive health. Oyster-based zinc provides a naturally balanced mineral matrix that works synergistically with copper and other trace minerals, which is especially important for long-term use.

This is the zinc I prefer when supporting immune resilience, fertility, skin healing, or post-stress depletion. Code: KELSEY20

Nature’s Sunshine Supplements

This is one of my trusted practitioner-grade supplement companies for consistent, third-party tested formulas. I use these when I need targeted herbal or nutritional support with reliable quality.

Purity Coffee

Coffee can be supportive or inflammatory depending on sourcing. Purity Coffee is rigorously tested for mold and toxins, making it a better option for those with adrenal stress, mold sensitivity, or inflammation.

Trace Minerals ZeroLyte

Hydration is about minerals, not just water. ZeroLyte provides electrolytes without sugar, artificial sweeteners, or unnecessary additives. I use this during fasting, detox protocols, travel, or intense physical demand.

Ancient Minerals Magnesium Oil Spray

Topical magnesium supports muscle relaxation, sleep quality, nervous system regulation, and stress resilience. This is especially helpful for those who do not tolerate oral magnesium well.

Minerals & Detox Support

Dandy Blend

A coffee alternative that supports liver function, bile flow, digestion, and blood sugar balance without stimulating the nervous system. This has become a daily ritual for me, especially during adrenal or detox support phases.

Mountain Rose Herbs

Herbal quality matters. Mountain Rose Herbs is my preferred source for bulk herbs, teas, and tincture supplies due to ethical sourcing, testing standards, and consistency.

Final Thoughts

Everything on this list earned its place through consistent support in 2025. I don’t recommend casually, and I regularly reevaluate as my standards sharpen and my understanding grows.

Health is not about doing everything right. It’s about doing the right thing for your body, at the right time, with appropriate support.

Bio-individuality is foundational.
