2023 Hashimotos Holiday Gift Guide
Let’s face it, the holidays can be bring up a lot of overwhelm and stress.
Add on having Hashimotos Disease, and it can bring on a whole new level of anxiety.
I created this holiday guide because I know what it’s like to be asked, “What do you want for the holidays?” only to feel that brain fog kick in.
This guide contains all my recommended thyroid friendly products that I personally use daily and will help you and your family lower inflammation and live a healthier life!
FOR THE HOME:
Air Doctor Pro Air Purifier | Save up to $300
Why is having a high quality air purifier is important?
Mold, Volatile Organic Compounds (from toxins found in our home), and other contaminants found in our indoor environment can throw off your thyroid, hormones and immune system.
Benefits for Hashimotos:
Air Doctor Pro captures 100% of airborne particles as small as 0.003 microns in size for: mold, dust,viruses, bacteria, pollen, smoke, viruses, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s).
I keep mine in my room and it helps me breathe and sleep better at night knowing my air is being properly purified. After all the mold exposures I’ve had over the years, my Air Doctor has been my saving grace in keeping my air clean.
It comes with a carbon filter (lasts about 6 months), a Ultra HEPA Filter (lasts about a year), and a pre-filter that goes over the carbon filter. You can also vacuum over the pre-filter to allow for longer use.
Branch Basics Non-Toxic Cleaning | Save 10% off a starter kit
Why do cleaning products matter + why do I choose this brand over others? Chemicals in most of our cleaning products today contain harmful ingredients known to cause thyroid, immune, and reproductive harm. Many claim to be “safe” by using unregulated terms like “Eco friendly” or “green” etc, which really means nothing in terms of toxicity for hormone health. Many also contain the word “fragrance” which is sneaky word for chemical nightmare.
Benefits for Hashimotos:
Plant and mineral based
Fragrance - free
MADE-SAFE Certified ( ensures no harmful thyroid disrupting chemicals are allowed)
Not tested on animals
Non-GMO
I love how the starter kit lasts a really long time because the water bottles are refillable with the concentrate. I bought my sister’s family one for the holidays last year and now she loves them too!
Xtrema Non-Toxic 100% Ceramic Cookware | Save 25% off site-wide from 11/24-11/26
Why non- toxic cookware?
Heavy metals and toxins in traditional cookware (such as Teflon) leech into your food causing thyroid and hormone disruption. Many “ceramic cookware” on the market are not truly non-toxic. Many still contain coatings that can leech chemicals into your food.
Benefits of Xtrema for Hashimotos:
Xtrema cookware contains no: PFOA, PTFE, glues, polymers, coatings or dyes.
Will never leech chemicals, metal, cadmium, lead or change the taste of your food
Scratch resistant
I personally love how it doesn’t scratch and it’s super easy to clean after cooking!
***Note— these are not non-stick pans and need to have oil heated for several minutes before adding food to avoid sticking***
Makes a great gift for any family or household!
Aqua Tru Reverse Osmosis Water Filter | Save up to $150 off
The water we drink everyday is filled with contaminants like heavy metals, radioactive elements (uranium), viruses, Volitile Organic Compounds, and so much more. Unfortunately a Brita, fridge filter, or spring water just won’t cut it with these contaminants. You can check out what’s in your local water using your zip code on the The Environmental Working Group Tap Water Database.
Aqua Tru Reverse Osmosis is a trusted filter to use because it filters out heavy metals, viruses, VOC’s, fluoride, and much more.
Distilled water is another option which will filter out all of these harmful contaminates including radioactive elements. My Pure Water is my recommended distiller (use code: Hashimotos5).
At Home Wellness:
Therasage Infrared Sauna | use code: Rassp20 for 20% off
Benefits for Hashimotos:
Improved sleep
Skin health
Relieves pain,
Increases circulation
Stress relief
Aids in detoxification
Decreases inflammation
FAQ : “What’s the difference is between a traditional sauna you might use at the gym versus an infrared?’
Answer: Infrared is unique in that it heats the body from it’s core allowing your body to excrete more toxins while sweating. Many traditional saunas also have high levels of EMF (electromagnetic frequencies) which can add more toxicity to the body.
Why I choose the Therasage sauna:
Full spectrum infrared frequencies
No VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds or off gassing)
Low EMF (electromagnetic frequencies)
Non-toxic bamboo materials
I love having this portable one in the convenience of my home! I also move quite a bit and it’s nice to have something that is portable that I can easily pack up and travel with me. My skin finally started to clear up as soon as I started using one consistently. Great for anyone who wants to reduce inflammation from the comfort of their home.
LUMEBOX Red Light Therapy | Save $260 off
Save $260 off
Benefits for Hashimotos:
Improved skin health
Reduced inflammation
Reduced pain
Improved immunity
Improved thyroid health
Improved sleep + emotional well-being
Research shows it can help aid in lowering TPO antibodies
I use mine every morning for 20 minutes. My skin looks younger and it’s helped me combat a lot of the persistent cystic acne I was battling. I recommend this brand specifically because it has low EMF (electromagnetic frequencies) so it’s not adding additional toxins/stress to the body.
FAQ: What’s the difference between an infrared sauna and the red light therapy?
Answer: Both have amazing benefits, just slightly different. The infrared sauna uses heat to excrete toxins from the body while red light therapy uses wavelengths of light to penetrate the skin and regenerate your cells.
Makes a great gift for any person who wants to fight inflammation!
FOOD & DRINK:
King Coffee (Thyroid Friendly Reishi Coffee)
How is this coffee different than others?
Traditional coffee is acidic, it dehydrates, raises blood pressure, increases your cortisol (your stress hormone), creates jitters, creates caffeine crashes, can cause headaches, contains approximately 135mg of caffeine, and often contains mold and mycotoxins. Aka—things the Hashimotos body isn’t a fan of.
Benefits of King Coffee for Hashimotos:
Contains organic Gonoderma Reishi spores (great for supporting your immune system)
Non- acidic
Balances PH levels
Boosts immunity and gut function
Oxygenates the body and provides gentle detoxification
No jitters or crash
Contains 9mg of caffeine
Tested for mold and mycotoxins
Anti-parasitic and anti-candida
I avoided coffee for years because the caffeine made me feel so jittery and would plummet my adrenals. I now cannot go a day without drinking King Coffee. I have noticed improved sleep, decreased sugar cravings, improved digestive symptoms, and more energy with drinking it daily. I love adding some Laird’s superfood creamer and Perfect Supplements Grass-Fed Collagen for hair, nail, and skin support.
Pique Tea Non-Toxic Tea and Matcha | Save 15% off
Why non-toxic tea and matcha?
Unfortunately steeping a single tea bag releases approximately 11.6 billion microplastics into a single cup beverage. Many tea bags are sealed with polyethylene and release plastics when steeped. Tea is one of the most pesticide laden crops and can due to long shelf lives can accumulate mold.
Benefits of Piquetea for Hashimotos:
Shop Pique Tea and receive free gifts with purchases of $120 or more with code: AllisonR
Triple toxin screened for pesticides, heavy metals, and toxic mold
Free of preservatives, sugar, and artificial sweeteners
Sun goddess Matcha contains L-theanine for calming energy
There are tons of flavors to meet anyone’s taste buds! I personally love the Ginger Digestion Elixir for when I’m having a digestive flare-up.
Perfect Supplements Grass- Fed Collagen | Code: Hashimotos10 for 10% off
You may have heard about the benefits of using collagen, but the sad reality is not all collagen products on the market are created equal. Many contain high levels of heavy metals and glyphosate which are all toxic to the thyroid.
Benefits of Perfect Supplements collagen for Hashimotos:
Improve Skin Health
Promote Younger, Firmer Skin
Support Joint Health
Improve Gut Function and Digestion
Promote Healthy Brain Function
Here are some reasons why I choose Perfect Supplements as opposed to other brands on the market:
Sourced EXCLUSIVELY From Brazilian Pasture Raised (Grass Fed) Cows
100% Natural and Pesticide and Hormone Free
Non-GMO
Lactose & Dairy Free
Low Molecular Weight For Easy Absorption
Free of Pesticides, Hormones, Chemicals and Contaminants
World's First Certified Glyphosate Residue Free Collagen
I love to add 1-2 scoops to my King Coffee each morning.
Makes for a perfect gift for anyone wanting to improve their overall health and well-being!
Equip Prime Protein Powder | Save 15% off with code: Rassp15
Most protein powders on the market contain synthetic vitamins and fillers that can cause inflammation. Most of them are also plant based which do not contain enough amino acids and adequate protein.
I love Equip Prime Protein because they have:
21 grams of bioavailable protein
No chemicals, fillers or binding agents
Only 1-3 ingredients — their unflavored has only grass-fed beef isolate
I personally love the chocolate flavor! It tastes like dessert when mixed with some coconut milk and sunbutter! I have noticed that my hair has grown like a weed when I use this protein powder. My body loves the B vitamins and amino acids helps my hair to strengthen.
Makes for a great gift for yourself or anyone who wants to make a healthier change to their protein powder.
BATH & BEAUTY:
Risewell Non-Toxic Toothpaste and Oral Care | Use code: Rassp10 for 10% off
Why fluoride free-toothpaste?
Despite what your dentist may tell you, fluoride is toxic for our immune and thyroid health. Research shows it directly affects the conversion of T4 to T3 which is important for thyroid health.
Benefits of Risewell for Hashimotos:
Fluoride-free
Paraban-free
SLS and Sulfate-free
No artificial colors or preservatives
Contains Hydroxyapetite- a special ingredient that aids in re-mineralizing the enamel of your teeth
I’ve tried all the other fluoride-free toothpastes out there and this one is by far the best tasting and quality.

After trying out the All-in-One Coconut Cream Foundation, I fell in love! It makes my skin look so glowy and healthy! I’m not someone who likes to wear a ton of makeup, so I love that it gives me the perfect coverage without making me feel like I need to layer or cake it on. The Mango Cream Color Pot is another one of my favorites that I use as blush and love it!
Makes a great gift for any woman on your list!
CLEARSTEM Anti-Acne and Anti-Aging Skincare | Save 10% off with code: ALLISONRASSP
As someone who has extremely sensitive and acne prone skin, I’m very cautious about what I use on my skin. Most of the skin-care products on market contain endocrine and hormone disrupting chemicals.
I love CLEARSTEM because they are crafted with plant derived stem cells that help to regenerate, hydrate, and restore the skin.
I personally use the Hydraglow Stem Cell Moisturizer every morning underneath my foundation. I have seen a dramatic difference in the texture of my skin since I’ve started to use it daily. It leaves my skin feeling incredibly hydrated and healthy.
Makes a great gift for anyone on your list!
