As we head into the new year, I’m excited to share a few wellness items that I’ve been trying and genuinely love. These simple, smart tools make it easier to stay balanced and energized. My hope is that they’ll inspire you to find small moments of recovery and calm in your own routine.
01 | Next Health (Lincoln Park)
This wellness center offers proactive, personalized care through biomarker testing, IV therapy, cryotherapy and more. Their quarterly deep-dive lab panels and consultations help me understand hormone, nutrient and inflammation levels and tailor a plan for better long-term health.
02 | CurrentBody Series 2 LED Face Mask
Delivers precise red, near-infrared and blue light therapy to boost collagen and brighten skin. I love its flexible, full-coverage design and 10-minute treatments that make pro-level results easy at home.
03 | HairLab Chicago (Deerfield)
I love their trichology expertise for hair and scalp analysis, epigenetic screening and personalized treatments, including SEBUM REGULATING Preshampoo and Nourishing Cream Conditioner, which address slow growth, nutrient gaps, inflammation and overall hair health.
04 | Re-Lyte + LMNT
I use and love both sugar-free mixes. Re-Lyte features Redmond Real Salt with more electrolytes, calcium and magnesium, while LMNT has higher sodium (1000mg), no calcium and a simpler citric-acid-flavored formula—both support hydration, energy, focus and muscle recovery.
05 | HumanCharger
Delivers UV-free bright light through earbuds to reset my internal clock. I use it 12 minutes each morning to boost energy, improve mood and regulate sleep—especially during darker Chicago winters.
06 | Welltory app
Welltory tracks heart rate variability to help you understand stress, energy and recovery patterns more clearly. It’s an easy way to see how daily habits, like sleep quality, affect your body.
07 | Yuka app
Yuka scans food and personal products to rate ingredients and suggest healthier, cleaner alternatives instantly. It’s free and I love how quickly it simplifies better choices.
