What’s Your Favorite Wellness Tool?

EL staffers share some of their favorite health-supporting gadgets. Did yours make the list?

a kettlebell and waterbottle

I’m not much for gadgets, so my favorite wellness tools tend toward the analog: my teapot, my walking shoes, my bicycle, and my poetry books.

— Courtney Helgoe,
executive editor

My TheraCup offers rapid tension relief in the palm of my hand. I appreciate its compact size and its ability to add heat and vibration to my cupping sessions.

— Laura Lineburg,
director–digital marketing and media strategy

It’s hideous-looking, but I would be lost without my heated shiatsu foot massager.

— Anjula Razdan,
senior director–digital

I began by listing my bicycle, my water bottle, and my new massage gun (which miraculously cured my plantar fasciitis after I suffered for years), but I have to say my dog takes top billing. She’s always ready and willing to go for a frolic, which spurs me to get outside and get moving.

— Michael Dregni,
deputy editor

I love my kettlebell! With just one simple piece of equipment, I can get a quick, full-body cardio and strength workout and feel great.

We talk a lot about gua sha tools at EL, and I’ve found one that comes with built-in light-therapy options. I can change the color-light setting depending on the season and how my skin is feeling, and the vibration and heat leave me feeling refreshed and relaxed.

— Jenny Jacobson,
art director

I love my outsize 100-ounce water bottle, with its sturdy flip-top lid and built-in straw. Having an entire day’s water-in- take goal in one container has been a game-changer. Proper hydration is much easier when I don’t have to fill up smaller water bottles all day long.

My heated mattress pad.

editorial director–fitness
