I want to share a hack with you that I have been super consistent with over the past few months and that is a product I use from Organifi called Organifi Red. It is 100% organic and contains 13 superfoods in powder form.
I don’t know if you’ll remember this, but during my mold detox, I was consuming pomegranate powder daily for detox support. I love Organifi Red because it has pomegranate powder in it for my daily dose and things like Cordyceps, Rhodiola, cranberry, and ginseng. It’s caffeine-free while being energizing, which is a major plus for most of us.
Every morning I put a scoop in my smoothie or a glass of water and it gives me a dose of herbs, medicinal mushrooms, and a comprehensive berry blend. It’s really yummy, it contains zero crap and it has definitely become a go-to product for me. If you want to try it out, which I think you do, you can go to www.organifi.com/carly and use code “Carly” for 15% off all products.

I am so excited to share my love for Organifi with you all. You know that quality is incredibly important to me and Organifi is so thoughtful in their ingredients, dosing, and in the products they create and they're now supporting this show.
I am addicted to Organifi Gold which is 100% organic. I mix a scoop with warm coconut milk and collagen before bed to support my blood sugar while sleeping, but also to help me wind down. It reminds me of an Ayurvedic golden milk which is traditionally sipped on as a sleep tonic. Gold has lemon balm, magnesium, Reishi, which are all known to aid sleep, and it also contains warming herbs like turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and tastes so good. I look forward to this concoction every night after dinner.
I also love the Organifi Red powder and add it as an antioxidant boost to my smoothie each morning. If you want to try it out, which I definitely would recommend, you can go to www.organifi.com/carly and use code “Carly” for 15% off all products.
