Five Favorites | June 2025

Our Five Favorites for the month of June. Here’s a curated collection of the things that have sparked joy and inspiration within The Lanby team. 

READ

PSA: "Normal" Bloodwork is "Average" Bloodwork

“Normal” doesn’t always mean healthy. Most lab results fall within standard reference ranges—benchmarks based on population averages, not optimal health. A Little Woo's recent substack dives deep to explain why this discrepancy can leave many people dismissed, undiagnosed, or simply told they’re “fine” when they don’t feel fine. At The Lanby, we use functional ranges for a more proactive, root-cause approach so you can feel your best. 

EAT

Jacob Bars

Summer often means more travel—and more time on the go! That’s why it’s essential to have snacks on hand, so you’re not stuck relying on airport or gas station options. Jacob Bars are the perfect travel companion—easy to stash in your bag, car, or carry-on so you’re always prepared. Unlike most protein bars packed with artificial sweeteners and hard-to-pronounce ingredients, Jacob Bars are made with real, clean ingredients. Each bar delivers 20 grams of protein from grass-fed whey protein isolate and beef tallow, and is naturally sweetened with pure organic honey and dates. 

COOK

Force of Nature Meat 

It’s cookout season, and Force of Nature is our top choice for high-quality, regenerative, grass-fed beef—because the quality of your meat truly matters. Regeneratively raised meats support both your health and the health of the planet. With a rich, buttery texture that melts in your mouth, you can truly taste the difference. Plus, they offer superior nutrition, including higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids. We’re especially big fans of their Ancestral Blends, which make it easy to enjoy the benefits of nutrient-dense organ meats in a way that’s both convenient and delicious. Explore some of our favorite red meat recipes here!

USE

Berkey Water Filter 

Filtering your water is one of the simplest and most impactful steps you can take for your health. Even tap water often contains heavy metals, chemicals, and other toxins you don’t want to be drinking. One of the best ways to reduce your toxic load is by switching to high-quality filtered water. We’re big fans of the Berkey Water Filter—trusted, reliable, and effective. It removes heavy metals, chlorine, and other harmful contaminants, giving you clean, great-tasting water. It also helps reduce your reliance on plastic bottles, which often contain microplastics. With the summer heat, staying hydrated with clean water is more important than ever. 

SHOP

These ankle and wrist weights are incredibly versatile and can be worn on either your wrists or ankles. They’re perfect for travel, workouts, recreational activities—and our favorite use: adding extra resistance to gradually build strength when increasing your load for heavy lifting.
