Portable Infrared Sauna Blanket
*The Gravity MiHigh version is currently not available on Amazon, but I trust the brand LifePro and they have their own 👉 Infared Sauna Blanket that is available on Amazon - or you can get the Gravity MiHigh version direct from 👉 MiHigh website.
We got this blanket (really it’s more like a sleeping bag) a few years ago and it’s been really helpful for muscle recovery, detox, and even improved sleep.
There are numerous studies now about the benefits of weekly sauna use and this is perfect for home use! Easy to wipe down and also folds great for storage!
Hyperice Normatec Legs
👉 Hyperice Normatec 3 Legs on Amazon
If you run a lot, bike, or go hard on leg days, you will LOVE these!
You can relax in them, work while you’re in them, watch tv, etc. Great for post-exercise, but I’ve also used it prior to workouts to help get the blood flowing if I feel stiff or lethargic.
I’ve had mine for 6+ years and use them regularly! One of the best purchases I’ve made.
a Great Foam Pillow
^^ Make sure you measure yourself to get the correct size!!!
I do not mess around when it comes to sleep. The right pillow can make all the difference in sleep - this pillow massively improved my sleep quality - and reduced neck pain and shoulder muscle soreness!
This foam pillow provides firm neck and head support, helping to reduce discomfort and improve spinal alignment.
Creatine
👉 Momentous Creatine Chews (lemon lime)
👉 Momentous Creatine Powder Travel Packs (lemon)
👉 Momentous Creatine Powder (unflavored)
^ Using the above links will get you an additional 14-35% off, additional discount will show at final checkout.
If you’ve followed me for a while and you’re not taking Creatine yet - what are you waiting for?!
Creatine is one of the most studied, safest, and most effective supplements on Earth, with more 1,000 research papers supporting its use.
It won’t make you bloated! (I can attest to this as well but if you’re still skeptical, read more here)
So many people think this is just for muscle growth but creatine has been shown (via multiple studies) to improve brain health, mood, help with fatigue, heart health, gut function, muscle recovery, and jet lag. There’s also been great research on benefits of creatine for aging and preventing/slowing cognitive decline.
Creatine has been clinically shown to:
Support memory performance by up to 29%
Improve processing speed by up to 25%
Promote muscle growth with up to 21% faster recovery
Experts recommend taking 5g per day for standard muscle support and 10g a day (spread out into 2 x 5g doses) to get the cognitive and mood benefits – and/or under times of fatigue, extra stress, intense workouts, and jet lag. (I take 10g a day for the brain benefits!)
I also love Momentous because they are committed to clean, high-quality products, no additives or artificial fillers, and are NSF Certified for Sport - which meets the most rigorous testing standards!
Hyperice Percussion Massage Gun
👉 Shop Hyperice Percussion Massage Gun on Amazon
I use this massage gun for post-workout recovery and as a warm-up tool to loosen up before a workout - also great at the end of a long day!
I’ve compared Hyperice HyperVolt to lots of other brands and this is the most powerful and stands the test of time! We have 2 at home!
reMarkable Writing Tablet
Years ago, when I was traveling by plane for work weekly, I needed to condense all my sticky notes, papers, and stay organized. A colleague had the reMarkable Tablet and highly recommended it. It’s now over 5 years later and I’m still using it!
Great for taking notes by hand - AND you can email them to yourself or convert them to text. You can also draw, do Sudoku, crosswords, and more.
Kindle Paperwhite
👉 Buy Kindle Paperwhite on Amazon
A dedicated, distraction-free device for reading is a powerful tool for personal growth!
I love the paperwhite version because it’s not backlit and even though it’s “technology,” it doesn’t come with the blue light glow, perfect for winding down - also great for travel!
Hyperice Venom Back Wrap
👉 Buy Hyperice Venom Heated Back Massager on Amazon
This is honestly one of the best purchases I’ve ever made! Wrap it around your torso and feel almost instant relief. It heats, it vibrates. It’s wonderful.
Great for back pain, sore muscles, or just general relaxation. Also easy to take on the go - I take this on car road trips and sometimes on long plane rides!
Hue Smart Lights
👉 Buy Philips Hue Smart Lights on Amazon
Managing your light exposure in the evening is one of the easiest changes you can make to support your body's natural wind-down process, which includes your own natural melatonin production.
Hue smart lights can be customized to mimic the sunset, reducing harsh blue light exposure before bed. I only use lamps in the evenings and I turn the light to orange or red.
Philips Hue has an app you can program and customize light settings, scenes, and timings. They’re also great for gentle wake-ups with sunrise simulation!
Silicone Cupping Set
👉 Silicone Cupping Set on Amazon
My massage therapist recommended I get these for home use to reduce soreness and improve recovery, and holy cow, my boyfriend and I agree that they are a game-changer if you work out regularly!
Great for your legs and lower back - she actually suggested using in the shower with soap/conditioner for ease and less mess. Grab a partner to help with the upper back.
Pro tip: Don’t just use them statically, moving them around is better!
Frequency: Usually, 2-3 times a week is good, depending on your level of activity. If you have some bruises or soreness, hold off until you’ve recovered.
Bluetooth Sleep Mask
👉 Bluetooth Sleep Mask on Amazon - I originally purchased these and later decided to upgrade to the SnoozeBand Pro below. These should work for most people! I have sensitive ears and found the speaker was a little too big when I slept on my side.
👉 SnoozeBand™ Pro - Bluetooth Sleep Mask - excellent product, just not available on Amazon!
I love this sleep mask with built-in Bluetooth speakers, so I can fall asleep to calming music, white noise, or guided meditations. Helps me fall asleep more quickly and sleep more deeply.
Superieur Electrolytes
👉 Superieur Electrolyte Powder Packets on Amazon
👉 Superieur Electrolyte Powder Container on Amazon
I LOVE this brand - it’s clean, it’s healthy, AND it’s family owned & operated! Watermelon and Lemon are my favorite flavors but they have others. Try the packets and if you like them, get the container!
Vegan Electrolyte Hydration Powder w/Sea Minerals - Keto Friendly, Non-GMO, Zero Sugar Electrolyte Supplement - a great sports drink alternative!
Magnesium Glycinate Complex
👉 Magnesium Glycinate Complex on Amazon
Did you know there are over 12 different types of Magnesium?! I’ve tried a lot of them and this one works best for me to improve sleep and muscle recovery! I take it about an hour before bed. “Designs for Health” is also a great, highly rated brand!
For sleep, many experts and people I know take Magnesium L-Threonate - it’s highly trusted, well-studied, and clinically proven - but for me personally, Magnesium Glycinate has worked better.
With supplements and diets, it’s not “one size fits all” - so you have to test and see what works best for you!
Recess Mood Magnesium & Adaptogen Drink
A great way to relax and unwind without alcohol! I love these because they are low in added sugar and don’t have caffeine or THC!
Chomps Grass Fed and Finished Beef Sticks
👉 Buy Chomps Grass Fed and Finished Beef Sticks on Amazon
I’ve been using these beef sticks for years as a healthy snack! I love the taste and that they are grass fed AND finished (typically “grass finished” is much harder to find.) I love that they are portable and come in the small size too!
I also get these in bulk (the big size and the smaller size) from Thrive Market - use my link for 40% off your first order from Thrive.
These are great snacks for kids, too!
Bonus Recommendations
Things on My List:
I haven’t purchased these yet, but I’m planning to buy:
Vitality Bloodwork - “Vitality turns your bloodwork into personalized protocols that unlock energy, resilience, and more so you perform at your best in everything you do.” - I got to be on a call with one of the founders recently and I am VERY excited about this product and the biomarkers. This is the most in-depth blood test out there, connecting the dots, not just giving you basic results, AND comes with coaching and nutrition!
A Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) - seeing how your blood glucose reacts to different foods (and events) is crucial to energy and focus throughout the day - and long-term health. I’m also interested to know how my blood sugar dips overnight. Two options I’m considering:
Levels - I was going to do this before I found Vitality, now I may not need the extra bloodwork
FAQs
Q: Is a percussion massage gun really worth it?
A: In my experience, absolutely. While foam rolling is great, a massage gun allows you to target specific, hard-to-reach trigger points with an intensity that manual tools can't match. For quick relief and pre-workout activation, it's a top-tier tool.
Q: What is most important for improving sleep?
A: Top 3:
Having a great pillow! (make sure to measure!)
Hue Smart Lights - Managing your light exposure in the evening is the most impactful change you can make to your environment to support your body's natural melatonin production.
Q: Do I need electrolytes if I'm not a pro athlete?
A: Yes! Proper hydration isn't just for athletes. Many people are chronically dehydrated without realizing it. Electrolytes are crucial for brain function, energy levels, and preventing muscle cramps, whether you're heading to the boardroom or the gym.
