Oh, and they have desserts too. Nutritious ones, of course. Like their Sun Squares, a square of pure yum with cashew butter, cacao, and coconut.
This is one of those gifts for people who don’t like to cook but love to eat. Or anyone who is living in a time crunch, trying to make it all happen while staying healthy. So basically, Splendid Spoon is for everyone.
Risa LOVES their bowls and soups for lunch — specific fave? Coconut Curry Rice Bowl, Butternut Turmeric Soup, oh and Kale and Pesto Noodles! So yum!
Get Strong Over 40 – Give Her the Gift of Strength
Giving the gift of strength is one of the most powerful gifts.
Get Strong Over 40 is a beginner strength training program made especially for women over umm, 40. Hence the name.
Sadly, every year after 30, women lose 1% of their muscle mass unless they do something about it. And Tina Tang, a fitness trainer extraordinaire, is on a personal mission to stop that from happening.
Tina will walk her through each 15-20 minute workout that is geared for beginners. The videos are pre-recorded, so she can work out whenever it’s convenient.
This is one of Modern Aging’s signature courses. The 12-week course is normally $157 but Modern Aging readers can use the code HOLIDAY2021 to get 50% off!
Risa met Tina at the end of 2019 knowing that strength training is the core to physical and emotional health. Tina coached Risa and now Risa leaves hand weights at the side of her desk so she can pick them up at various intervals during the day.
“Staying healthy and independent is so important to me, especially as I get older. Incorporating regular strength training is not only doable, it’s now a part of my daily routine. Tina really makes it fun and easy. And doing it with friends to make sure we stay accountable is even better! I wanted to create this program with Tina so that other women could get a chance to focus on their own strength — maintaining and building muscle well into our 40s, 50s and 60s!” – Risa

Fresh Cap – Give the Gift of Schrooms

Taos Footwear for the Gift of Happy Feet
Taos footwear is different.
They aren’t just a pair of cute shoes. Or a just pair of functional shoes. They’re a happy marriage of the two. Beautiful to look at and wonderfully comfortable and supportive.
They blend form and function to create wellness for your feet. Their structured footbeds are anatomically engineered to hug the foot’s contours which provide the ultimate shock absorption. Of course, there is arch support, but they don’t stop there. They also offer heel and metatarsal support.
So, all that in a cute shoe? Yes, please! Their podiatrist will approve.
Working as a documentary filmmaker and TV producer/director, Risa would spend hours on her feet. Comfort was always of the utmost importance because it would literally affect how she did her job. Her first pair of Taos was a gamechanger for her. Now she can’t live without them. Comfort and cuteness all in one! There’s a reason why people who wear Taos become lifelong customers. Check it out for yourself!
Aletha Health – Live More, Hurt Less – Relieve Back, Hip and Neck Pain
Are you constantly massaging your partner, trying to make their back/hip/shoulder/neck pain disappear? Does it ever really work? Probably not. Because you can’t massage the muscles that are really creating the pain.
If your loved one struggles with persistent hip, back, shoulder and neck pain, the Hip Hook and Nuckle Neck Release can alleviate pain at the core.
The Hip Hook is the world’s first and only tool created to release the psoas and iliacus muscles, the root of hip and low back pain.
The Nuckle relaxes the small but extremely tight muscles at the base of your skull and chest.
While these might not be the sexiest of gifts, they most definitely can be life changing and probably the best gift they’ll receive!
When Risa tried the Hip Hook, she didn’t even realize the tension and tightness she was feeling. “It helps not only with acute pain but also with my posture! Wow! And the Nuckle? If you hold stress in your neck like I do, or you suffer from chronic headaches, then you NEED this. Seriously, you will be loved forever if you give this gift.” – Risa

Global Healing’s mission is to teach our bodies to heal themselves. Because when we feel good, life is good.
All of their products are rooted in nature and backed by science. From detoxes to beauty supplements, Global Healing will have your loved one feeling fabulous from the inside out.
Risa has been taking Global Healing supplements for years now. Organic, sustainably made, she LOVES their products. “I love their turmeric and vitamin B12 liquid supplements. I also take their liver cleanse kit and do that twice a year (if you haven’t seen that video, check it out here). It helps to manage my blood pressure. I love recommending Global Healing because in a world flooded with supplements – good and bad – it’s good to know that there are some that have fantastic products and are also really great companies.” – Risa

Dream Retirement in Mexico – Give The Gift of Living Your Best Life
There is more to a healthy lifestyle than exercising and supplements. Lifestyle needs to be looked at with a holistic eye. And for some, retiring in Mexico means living their best life. This program is for anyone thinking about moving to Mexico and scouring the internet for how to go about it.
The Dream Retirement in Mexico program goes over expat hotspots. It’s more than the pros and cons of each place, but interviews with expats who have already made the move.
You’ll also learn the nuts and bolts of buying and renting real estate from professional realtors throughout Mexico as well as the ins and outs of healthcare, taxes, and banking from experts in their fields.
In addition, you’ll be given a contact list of speakers from the program, so you can reach out with additional questions.
Think of this program as an all-in-one guide for retiring in Mexico from people who have made the leap and know precisely what it takes.
This is one of Modern Aging’s top-selling programs, and you can get $200 off between now and December 1, 2021! USE CODE: MEXICOHOLIDAY2021.
If you are not quite ready to buy, but you and your partner want to check out what it’s all about, then join Puerto Vallarta real estate agent Taniel Chemsian, healthcare specialist Pamela Thompson, and Risa for a LIVE FREE Webinar – Dec 9, 12, and 15, 2021. Go to: DreamRetirementInMexico.com/webinar to register for free.
Risa created this program with Puerto Vallarta real estate agent, Taniel Chemsian, after several trips to Mexico directing episodes of House Hunters International. “There’s a long list of reasons why people want to move and retire to Mexico. But there’s a lot of homework people need to do beforehand to make sure they are making the right decisions. We created this program to take out the guesswork so that people can confidently start planning the retirement of their dreams.” – Risa
