Donna’s Favorites: Other Products and Resources Recommended by Body Ecology
Body Ecology may put out a ton of education, and carries many unique, essential, and top-quality health products that are hard to find elsewhere. But the Body Ecology system of health and healing also recommends other helpful resources and a broad range of health and wellness products offered through our trusted partners grouped by category below.
Emotional Health & Wellbeing
Apollo Neuro
Apollo Neuro is a new stress relief wearable that improves your body’s resilience to stress, so you can calm down, focus, relax, sleep, and stay healthy.
Apollo works by engaging with your sense of touch, delivering gentle, soothing vibrations that help you feel safe and in control. Apollo’s scientifically validated technology trains your nervous system to bounce back more quickly from stress, going from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest”.
While most health wearables track your data, leaving you to figure out how to improve it, Apollo Neuro actively improves your mood and health in real-time. It's a safe, effective stress relief tool that works for adults and children alike. No drugs, no side effects. Even better, Apollo actually trains your nervous system to cope with stress better over time.
Matrix Reimprinting
Matrix Reimprinting, a technique created by Karl Dawson, relies on using EFT to resolve past traumas. For specific issues like grief, phobias, and pain management, as well as general anxieties, self-esteem, and parenting support, Matrix Reimprinting utilizes meridian tapping energy therapy to address a number of physical and emotional issues. EFT Master Dawson also recommends Matrix Reimprinting for the purpose of manifesting goals and dreams.

Home Cleansing Unit
The Colenz Home Cleansing unit is a convenient and inexpensive way of cleansing the colon. This procedure is very safe and will keep the colon free and clean of debris, layers of mucous buildup, bacteria, and parasites that all create disease.
The NanoVi™ Biophysical Repair Device - Eng3
The NanoVi™, a self-healing device Donna Gates personally uses at home, encourages healing via a repair process called "biophysical repair.” The NanoVi™ delivers a specific biophysical trigger that is known to activate repair, with no chemicals involved. These triggers are produced in the body to initiate protein activities that repair damaged proteins, the DNA, and other cell components. Unlike the introduction of chemicals, with the use of NanoVi™, there is no possibility of doing damage or overdosing. This is because the cellular mechanisms NanoVi™ initiates have no potential for harm, only repair is possible.
The NanoVi™ is available for healthcare practitioners or for home use; it can also be found in some functional medicine and naturopathic practices, medspas, gyms, and physical therapists' offices. NanoVi™ therapy has been used to help those who are ill and aging, with potential benefits to promote healing, strengthen skin, and even deepen sleep.

Exercise & Fitness
Bellicon Rebounder
Exercising on a mini-trampoline (rebounder) is particularly stimulating to the immune system. It is an ideal form of exercise for all blood types because it requires so little energy but quickly rebuilds immunity. It stimulates the T-cells, which help the body fight foreign invaders. You don't have to do a full aerobic workout on a mini-trampoline. Five minutes once or twice a day will suffice, and it's alright to do low-impact activity. If you are not able to jump up fully, even raising your heels and keeping your toes on the surface will help. Exercise adds oxygen, a vital partner, to your system. Oxygen helps kill unfriendly bacteria and stimulates you physically and mentally. A gentle bounce on your mini-tramp, even when you feel weak, is very valuable. There is a big difference in the quality of mini-tramps or rebounders available.
The newest generation of rebounders have elastic bungee bands instead of springs, providing a smoother, more efficient session. Rebounding is a great way to tone your muscles. You'll want the highest quality rebounder you can afford. We highly recommend the Bellicon ® Rebounder and suggest that you purchase yours online from Sylvia at www.QiBounding.com. On this site, you can take Sylvia's rebounder quiz, read up on the latest scientific research, and download excellent (and free) training videos. Owning a top-quality bungee rebounder is like owning a mini gym for the whole family. Used properly, you can literally train each muscle in your body in a safe and joyful way. If you have a busy schedule, you can receive an amazingly efficient workout in a fraction of the time you would need to exercise in a gym. Three minutes of intense rebounding is equivalent to ten minutes of jogging.
Relax The Back Workpad Table - Desk for Smaller Spaces
As an adjustable rolling worktable, this can be placed in any room and go anywhere you'd like. It adjusts to the position you'd like and is super durable.
Upright
Upright is designed to help improve your posture as you work. You can build core strength and posture awareness by syncing your device to the Upright app, attaching the device to your upper back and training and tracking your posture with real-time feedback. It's great for working from home or at the office.
Raoptics
Artificial light can destroy our melatonin level, sleep quality, and overall health. Raoptics has created quality blue light protection glasses and have been proven to specifically target the harmful frequencies emitted by phones, computers, screens and LED lights. They offer separate glasses for day and night use, and have put the most effective lens technology into the most attractive frame styles to date. All of their frames are made from top quality materials, including ultra-lightweight TR90 and plant-based cellulose acetate.
Foods, Supplements & Herbs
Please consult with your functional medicine doctor, osteopath or healthcare practitioner before taking a new supplement.
Kefir
Kefir is an ancient cultured food, rich in amino acids, enzymes, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and B vitamins. Easy and fun to make at home, it is superior to commercial yogurt. An absolute must after antibiotic use, unlike yogurt, kefir can actually colonize the intestinal tract.
Ujido Matcha Tea
Sourced and picked from the highest quality tea leaves in Uji, Japan, this 100% pure Matcha tea is packed with antioxidants and has no additives or added Sencha tea. Studies show that green tea helps restore your body’s well being and balance, helping with natural energy and metabolism.
Sugar Buster Kit
Our Sugar Buster Kit is designed to meet you where you’re at, whether you’re hoping to cut back on your sugar consumption, give up refined sugar altogether or even indulge for a special occasion, like the holidays. If you’ve ever baked with a poor-quality sugar substitute before (that might be loaded with harmful chemicals), then you know how hard it can be to replicate that sugary sweetness. In addition to being natural, calorie-free, and diabetic-friendly, Golden Lakanto stands out as a sugar substitute simply because of its taste. After years of using Golden Lakanto to naturally sweeten baked goods and desserts, we firmly believe that it’s the closest natural sweetener to sugar that you’ll find anywhere, when it comes to taste and versatility.
So, you slipped up and went a little crazy on the refined sugar and sugary treats over the holidays — you’re only human, after all. Drinking a daily probiotic filled with beneficial microorganisms, like CocoBiotic, can eat up most of the bad stuff after a sugar binge. While refined sugar may feed pathogenic bacteria and yeast known to cause a cascade of health problems in the body, good bacteria can crowd out the bad bacteria to keep the gut (and your health) in balance.
And for those who want the ultimate protection for when they’re going to indulge, our Holiday Survival Kit, contains contains a combination of digestive aids to keep the gut happy. Think of it as a quick fix for occasionally overeating during the holidays!
Konjaku Noodles
Konjaku, Shirataki, Konjac, Konnyaku, Devil's Tongue — these are all names for the answer to your pasta craving prayers: gluten-free, calorie-free, low-carb, high-fiber noodles that can be used in a wide variety of recipes. Unlike noodles made from grain-based flours, konjaku noodles are made from yam flour of the konnyaku imo tuber. And they do more than satisfy cravings, they also are outstanding to help you achieve your health and weight loss goals. The Japanese consume konjaku nearly every day and know that these noodles provide plenty of dietary fiber, without having to eat oats, grains, and pastas. (For more information, read: Konjaku: The No-Cal, No-Carb, Fiber-Rich, Gluten-Free, Prebiotic-Perfect Food Secret)
Oliver Farms Artisan Oils
It is very hard to find a good oil - one that doesn't get rancid sitting on a grocery store shelf or uses chemicals during the extraction process. Oliver Farms uses the cold pressed method of oil extraction which does not use chemicals or high temperatures to remove the oil. This process leaves valuable vitamins and nutrients in the oil. The oils are pure and fresh, hands down - one brand we highly recommend!
Domestic Sea Vegetables/Seaweed - from Maine, U.S.A.
These mineral-rich sea plants are packed with health benefits for your thyroid and whole body. They are a vital part to any diet that can help solve mineral deficiencies, thyroid issues, pull heavy metals and pollutants from the body, fight constipation and even help control the growth of pathogenic viruses and candida. We recommend adding it to your plate daily with other vegetables as part of the 80/20 rule. With so many varieties, you’ll want to eat them daily for maximum health benefits.
You have to be careful where you get these from. Some of these seaweeds/vegetables are subjected to petrochemicals and are vulnerable to arsenic. We only use sea vegetables sourced from fresh waters in Maine, here in the U.S. You can try Atlantic Sea Farms or you can tell the Seaweed man we sent you to him!

Arterosil
Designed to protect the endothelial lining (glycocalyx) of the arteries, arterosil is a patent-pending nutraceutical that can help rebuild these non-stick lining of the arteries. Healthy arteries are the key to a healthy heart and brain. Every organ is at risk if you don't take care of the arteries.
The endothelial glycocalyx is a delicate structure and can be damaged under many conditions. The primary contributors to breakdown of the endothelial glycocalyx are high blood glucose, oxidative stress and inflammation. Numerous cellular, animal and human studies have been conducted on Arterosil. There is a great video on their website that goes into great visual detail (under patient education). To purchase, you would need to register and use the referral code: bodyeco
Kitchen Appliances & Tools
Instant Pot
We cannot say enough about the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 except that everyone should have one in their kitchen! This multi-use kitchen gadget is very different from a regular slow cooker in that it cooks MUCH FASTER. It’s basically a pressure cooker that can handle a multitude of cooking needs including steaming, sautéing and making homemade kefir and soups. Most nutrients don’t get compromised either. One would think the opposite, however, the pressure enables the shortened cooking time, not the heat. So it can be said to be one of the healthier ways to cook! There are even some Instant Pot accessories that you can buy separately that may make various ways of cooking even easier.
Cookware
With virtually every other type of cookware, you have to be concerned with the food reacting with the surface, resulting in an unhealthy situation for you. Here are some of our top recommendations for safe cookware.
- Le Creuset cookware is very highly recommended for cooking all types of foods. But with Le Creuset, you never have to worry about food reacting to its porcelain enamel surface. These cast iron and enamel pots heat evenly, last forever, and look attractive in your kitchen.
Food Dehydrators
Food dehydrators allow you to make a variety of versatile snacks, and the Body Ecology top-recommendation is the Excalibur food dehydrator because it dries evenly, cleans up quickly, and is incredibly easy to use.
- 9-tray Excalibur is the model of choice for people who want to make larger quantities of food.
- 4-tray Excalibur is great for apartments or small spaces because it is much more compact.
Food Processors
Food processors are the workhorses of the kitchen and can perform all kinds of functions, including cutting and chopping vegetables to make cultured vegetables.
- Veggie Bullet 3-in-1: Shred, Slice, Spiralize - what's not to love about a high powered 3-in-1 gadget?
Blenders
For blenders, we adore the Vitamix and Blendtec.
Utensils & Other
- Ball Jars (Body Ecology prefers the quart-sized wide mouth) are indispensable for cultured vegetables and kefir.
- Fine wire mesh strainers are a must for rinsing grains, nuts, and seeds after soaking. This extra-sturdy and ergonomically-designed fine wire mesh strainer is a top recommendation.
- A stainless steel wide-mouth funnel is essential for putting cultured veggies into jars.
- Fermentation Airlocks, Fermentation Weights, Basic Vegetable Fermentation Tool Set. Masontops.com
Water Filters
The AquaTru™ water filter is thought to be part of the "water revolution,” providing bottled-quality water straight from your tap. Compared to other storebought water filters, the AquaTru™ is the first and only countertop reverse osmosis water purifying system to provide bottled-quality water from the tap — without any plumbing or installation required. It's the exclusive, patent-pending TruPure technology that sets AquaTru™ apart: TruPure filters water with the same reverse osmosis technology used by all major bottled water brands, in miniature, countertop form.

Vaccine Exemptions
Vaccinations shouldn't hurt a child, but sometimes, they do. Before your child takes the risk, find out what it is: The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC). State laws have been changing medical exemptions, and some states allow philosophical and/or religious exemptions. Here you can find the current laws for your state. Also, see P.R.O.V.E. - Parents Requesting Open Vaccine Education.
