Dr. Francesca’s Fall Edit: My Cozy Must-Haves for the Season

Updated: Nov 15

Fall is here, and I don't know about you, but once the temperature starts dropping, I’m officially in cozy mode. 🍂 Whether you’re snuggling up with a hot drink or taking in the crisp autumn air, this season is all about comfort and taking care of yourself from the inside out!


I decided to do something new for this article. I wanted to do something fun to celebrate cozy season: I’ve rounded up my favorite fall essentials that’ll help you feel nourished, warm, and ready to embrace all the cozy vibes. Plus, I’ve linked my top picks and if you want to see what else I love all year round, visit my Favorite Products page.


Without further ado, let’s get into my holistically centered fall cozy must-haves!

Cozy Up to These Natural Wellness Favorites: Fall's Coziest Must-Haves


​Pumpkin Spice Superfood Mushroom Blend

Move over, regular PSL! This year, it's all about that extra twist to our season's favorite. This superfood blend combines pumpkin, warming spices, and a blend of functional mushrooms to support your energy, focus, and immune system! It's the perfect way to start your autumn mornings.


Chocolate Electrolytes

Elevate your hot chocolate to include hydrating electrolytes. These electrolytes in warm water and a splash of cream give you a luxurious end to your nights. Give them a try! They are the perfect companion for your nighttime reading or Netflix movie.


​Immune-Boosting Elderberry Syrup

This cough and immune syrup is my go-to and year-round staple in my supplement cabinet. We can't always prevent illness from taking hold, but we can take steps to resolve symptoms as soon as they arise! Trust me, you'll be reaching for this as a natural alternative to support your immune system and get you back to your healthy self.


​Himalayan Salt Lamp Diffuser


This 2-in-1 wonder combines the air-purifying benefits of a Himalayan salt lamp with the aromatic pleasures of an essential oil diffuser. It's the perfect addition to your bedroom or living room for those cozy nights in. Who knew a chunk of salt could be so multi-talented? It's like the Meryl Streep of home decor – versatile, timeless, and oh-so-good at what it does.


​Blue Light Blocking Glasses with Amber Lenses


As the days get shorter, we tend to spend more time basking in the blue glow of our screens (hello, Harry Potter marathon). These stylish amber-lensed glasses filter out sleep-disrupting blue light. Pop them on in the evening, and you'll be drifting off to dreamland faster than Harry can summon his Patronus (in my house, Autumn = Harry Potter season, so I apologize if you don't understand the reference).


​Luxurious Skin Care


It is known that I am a certified retailer of BioJuve (a probiotic skin care product. I talk about it later on in this post) and Agent Nateur (an all-natural luxury skin care line). However, I want to make it known that I decided to offer these products to my patients and followers because they are the only products I use on my skin. And as the days become colder, the skin needs more TLC to keep it hydrated and healthy. That's why I cannot rave about BioJuve and Agent Nateur products enough. Give them a try yourself! Your skin, especially in the Fall and Winter, will thank you!

I love starting my day with a warm cup of coffee and I am very mindful of where my coffee is sourced. Purity Coffee is the brand I love because it’s organic, clean, and low in acidity, making it a gentler option for your stomach without sacrificing that rich, smooth flavor. Plus, it’s packed with antioxidants, which means you’re getting a health boost with every cup. Whether you’re starting your morning or warming up on a chilly afternoon, this is my go-to coffee for feeling good inside and out.


Of course, those are just my latest Fall favorites - I'd love to hear what new things you've been enjoying lately too!


 


Biojuve skincare products, 7 total, with a black background

Okay, real talk: I’m very picky about what I put on my skin. BioJuve won me over because it’s designed to work with your skin’s microbiome (which is like your skin’s natural defense squad). Basically, it’s not just surface-level skincare—it’s next-level.


Here’s why BioJuve is worth the hype and why it’s a mainstay in my skincare routine:


Microbiome-Based Formula

The science behind BioJuve is major. It actually works with your skin’s microbiome, which is key to keeping your skin balanced, strong, and naturally beautiful. It’s like skincare that speaks your skin’s language!


Deep Hydration Without the Grease

BioJuve is all about that long-lasting hydration without leaving you feeling greasy. It’s lightweight but super effective, so your skin stays soft, hydrated, and absolutely glowing.


Anti-Aging Power

Packed with antioxidants, BioJuve helps with those fine lines and wrinkles. So if you’re after a healthy, youthful look, this is it.


Perfect for All Skin Types

Sensitive, oily, combo skin? BioJuve adapts beautifully to every skin type, which is why it’s my go-to rec for anyone asking for skincare advice.



BioJuve Benefits You’ll Love


This isn’t just about the glow (although, yes please!). BioJuve is formulated to improve your skin’s long-term health.


Here’s what you can expect:


Stronger Skin Barrier

BioJuve helps defend your skin from daily stressors like pollution, UV rays, and cold weather, so it stays healthier no matter what.


Radiant Complexion

If you’re after a bright, even skin tone, BioJuve has you covered. It helps reveal your skin’s natural glow and evenness—no filter needed!


Calms & Soothes

BioJuve is gentle on sensitive skin, helping reduce redness and irritation so your skin feels calm, comfortable, and balanced.


The Perfect Gift for the Skincare-Obsessed


If you’re looking for the ultimate gift for that skincare lover in your life, BioJuve is it. Imagine unwrapping a product that will elevate their whole routine and make them feel amazing every day—trust me, they’ll be raving about it!
