healthy hacks i swear by
i’m all about simple, effective ways to feel my best every day. i’ve gathered a list of quick, no-fuss health hacks that actually work—boosting energy, glowing up my skin, and keeping me feeling amazing from the inside out— and the best part? they’re easy, effortless, and totally doable.
i’m spilling all my go-to tricks—the ones i swear by and use daily
castor oil = powerhouse multitasker
rich in ricinoleic acid, it’s known for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and deeply moisturizing properties. hair growth, skin hydration, digestion, or even hormone balance, this oil does it all
i apply it to my scalp for thicker, healthier hair, use it as a natural lash and brow serum, or massage it onto my dry skin for deep hydration. great for lymphatic drainage and detox when used in castor oil packs
basically, if there’s a problem—castor oil might just be the answer!
turmeric = anti-inflammatory
packed with curcumin, which is known for its parasite-fighting properties — helps detoxify the body, supports digestive health, and can help eliminate harmful parasites by boosting the immune system and promoting gut health
heres my quick and easy way that i enjoy first thing in the morning
1 cup warm water
juice of half a lemon
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
pinch of black pepper (to enhance absorption)
direct sunlight first thing in the morning—
getting outside into the morning sun, without distractions like your phone, has been a game-changer for my health. the natural light helps regulate your circadian rhythm, signaling to your body that it’s time to wake up. this exposure to sunlight also balances cortisol levels, reducing stress and helping you feel more energized throughout the day—it’s simple yet grounding way to set a positive tone for your day while supporting your body’s natural rhythms
taking the time for self care —
doing small, intentional things every day to take care of myself has been a total game changer. whether it’s setting aside time for a warm bath, sticking to my skincare routine, cooking a nourishing meal, or even just applying my favorite body lotion or face mask—it all adds up. these little moments of self-care have become one of my favorite “hacks” for feeling good, inside and out
red light therapy —
red light therapy is a powerful, non-invasive treatment that promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and boosts overall wellness — stimulates collagen for healthier skin, supports muscle recovery, enhances energy at a cellular level + helps with sleep and mood regulation. whether you're looking to improve skin, reduce pain, or speed up recovery, rlt is the simplest way to support your body’s natural healing process
red light therapy doesn’t have to be expensive!
here are some affordable options
dry brushing — bamboo brush
practice that involves using a dry, firm-bristled brush on your skin in upward strokes — stimulates blood flow, promotes lymphatic drainage, and gently exfoliates, leaving your skin softer and smoother. regular dry brushing can help reduce the appearance of cellulite, improve circulation, support detoxification, and even boost energy levels by invigorating the nervous system.
doing it before a shower my fav way to maximize its benefits and leave your skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated
digestion aid / debloat tea—
whenever i’m feeling bloated or like my digestion needs a little extra support, i swear by this simple yet powerful tea. it’s easy to make, incredibly effective, and feels like an instant reset for my gut.
i use organic loose-leaf lemon balm tea, dandelion root tea, spearmint tea, and a piece of fresh ginger—steeped together for 10-15 minutes. sip and enjoy as it works its magic, easing digestion and making bloat disappear
easy lymph drainage
this gentle inversion helps gravity assist in moving stagnant lymph fluid, reducing swelling, improving circulation, and promoting detoxification. it’s also great for reducing leg fatigue, calming the nervous system, and supporting relaxation. just lie on your back, extend your legs up against a wall, and stay for 5–15 minutes. amazinggg for post-workout recovery, travel, or anytime your legs feel heavy
tongue scraping
helps remove bacteria, toxins, and debris from the tongue, reducing bad breath and improving taste perception + also supports digestion by clearing the tongue of buildup that can interfere with enzyme activity. promotes overall oral hygiene by preventing plaque accumulation and reducing the risk of gum disease. for best results, scrape your tongue in the morning before brushing, using a stainless steel or copper scraper
these simple healthy hacks have truly transformed my life—from my energy levels to my mindset and everything in between — feeling stronger, more balanced, and just overall better every single day. i can’t imagine living without them!
try adding a few to your routine, and you might be surprised at how much of a difference they make
