Christmas gift ideas for health-conscious people
Hey team, it’s James your friendly nutritionist here with some gift ideas ranging from "stocking filler" to "treat yourself!" Now, full transparency, I am not being paid to recommend any of these products (no kickback), I recommend them because I think they are good and that you may gain benefit from them.
Let me know what you think of the ideas by commenting below.
Level Up Your Drinks
Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur 500ml
(Okay, so maybe not completely in line with health and performance...But if you know someone who loves to make espresso martini this is the liqueur that they didn't know was the missing ingredient to perfection.)
(I have tried a lot of different decaf coffee beans over the last couple of years and I am pleased to have found this brand, it’s delicious).
Premium Matcha Tea - MATCHA & CO
(This matcha is organic and their ceremonial grade is spot on!)
Matcha Whisk Set - [the bits you actually need!]
(If you are a friend is getting into matcha, then I recommend you get them a bamboo whisk and a whisk holder. The holder is important as it helps the whisk keep its shape).
(If you are, or know someone who loves a chai latte, this this gift is for them. It's just incredible!)
Books That Will Blow Your Mind
Breath. The new science of a lost art. - James Nestor
(This book explains how your breathing can affect your health and performance and follows the journey of the author as he experiments on himself and reviews the science. I found this was a page-turner and was incredibly interesting).
(This book is more practical and shows you how to improve your breathing. It is less of a page-turning story and more science-heavy).
Glucose Revolution: The Life-Changing Power of Balancing Your Blood Sugar - Jessie Inchauspe
(This book contains some very practical tips on how to mellow your blood glucose.)
Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams - Matthew Walker
(This book is written by a scientist so getting through it can be hard work at times. That said, it contains some mind-blowing information about sleep, which anyone interested in their health should hear.)
(I highly recommend this for anyone approaching peri-menopause, in peri-menopause or post-menopausal. It contains practical nutrition and training advice for active women to manage menopause.)
Kitchen Essentials
Tupperware - Joseph Joseph Nest Lock 5-Piece Container Set - Multicolour
(Sure, as Tupperware go, these are expensive, but, in my opinion, completely worth it!)
(Creating an airtight seal will help your bags of salad, fresh herbs and salad veggies from going off as quickly. Honestly, I don't know what we did before we had these in our kitchen)
(A gift for those conscious about their plastic use, these are great for wrapping sandwiches and covering leftovers).
Bigger Gift Ideas
(The gold standard body composition analysis tool perfect for those in love with data)
- Use the discount code: NUTRITIONFORENERGY20
(A blood test can provide a helpful insight into health and wellness. I would recommend The Wellness 360 as this is good value for money in terms of the number of biomarkers tested for £££)
- Use the discount code: NFE10
Running Cap
Enso Trucker Trail Running Cap. (Nutrition for Energy UGOKU collaboration)
(I am so excited for this collaboration cap to be launching today. This cap comes with a FREE Nutrition for Energy trail running Guide)
I can offer you 15% off using the CODE: NFE15. This code is only available for the first 15 purchases, so get in quick!!)
Give the Gift of Nutrition Coaching
If you want to give the gift of nutrition coaching this season, I am launching a new coaching service in the new year.
It is an 18-week coaching programme with 10 consultations (one every other week).
It is designed to take clients from inconsistent energy to optimal performance using food.
If you know someone with big goals in 2024 and you think they could benefit from nailing their sports nutrition.
Then book a free chat with me about how best to set them up with this gift.
There will be a 20% discount for those who sign up before the end of the year.
Here is a link to book a call with me.
What is the Performance Accelerator?
For more information on this coaching service, please check out the Performance Accelerator page on my website.
I hope you all have an incredible Christmas!!
