Health Stack: Mike Feldstein’s approach to toxin-free living

Each week, we tap our network of health and fitness experts to offer personal insights and recommendations.

This week: Mike Feldstein. With a background in wildfire restoration and air quality consulting, Mike launched Jaspr, makers of advanced air purifiers. His approach to wellness prioritizes subtraction over addition. "Instead of constantly adding supplements and routines, I believe the first step is to remove toxins and simplify your life," he shares.

Here’s Mike to share his Health Stack: 

• Primally Pure: “I rely on Primally Pure’s natural skincare essentials to maintain a healthy complexion without compromising on ingredients. Their deodorant and cleansing oil are staples in my daily regimen. They align perfectly with my philosophy of minimalism and purity, providing effective skincare solutions free from harmful chemicals.”

• Branch Basics: “For a toxin-free home, Branch Basics is my go-to. Its cleaning products are incredibly versatile and safe, made with plant-based ingredients. I use its all-purpose cleaner for everything from kitchen counters to laundry, ensuring my living space is free from synthetic fragrances and harsh chemicals. This simple switch has significantly improved the air quality and overall health of my home environment.”

• Fritaire Glass Air Fryer: “The Fritaire Glass Air Fryer, with its sleek glass design and stainless steel accessories, is a game-changer in my kitchen. It allows me to cook healthier meals with less oil, and the glass design lets me see the food cooking, ensuring perfect results every time. Its easy-to-clean nature and stylish look make it a practical and attractive addition to my countertop, enhancing my cooking experience while promoting a healthier lifestyle.”

• Jaspr Pro: “My Jaspr Proair purifier is a cornerstone of my health routine. The real-time air quality monitoring and responsive world sensors ensure I’m always breathing the cleanest air possible, whether I’m working from home or sleeping. Its sleek design also seamlessly fits into any room, adding both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Knowing that my air quality is consistently optimized allows me to focus better and feel more energized throughout the day.”

• Coterie Diapers: “For my kids, Coterie diapers are a must-have. These diapers are incredibly soft, absorbent, and free from harmful chemicals. They provide exceptional comfort and protection for my children, ensuring they stay dry and happy throughout the day and night. Coterie’s commitment to quality and safety gives me peace of mind as a parent.”
