Stress Management

If you’re navigating chronic stress, burnout, or nervous system dysregulation in midlife, the Apollo Neuro is a tool worth exploring. I recently started using it myself, so this isn’t a full review yet but I wanted to include it here because it’s already becoming a meaningful part of my own wellness routine.

Apollo Neuro is a wearable device designed by neuroscientists and physicians to help your body shift into a calmer state. It uses gentle, soothing vibrations (called “tactile therapy”) that signal safety to the nervous system. Instead of pushing you to do anything, it works quietly in the background to support relaxation, focus, and deeper sleep.

What I love so far is how simple it is. You strap it to your wrist or ankle, choose a setting in the app like Calm, Relax, Unwind, or Fall Asleep and let it do its thing. No pressure, no learning curve, no overwhelm.

If you’re experiencing chronic stress, burnout recovery, midlife sleep struggles, or that wired-but-tired feeling, this may be something worth considering.

I’ve had my HigherDOSE Infrared Sauna Blanket for a little over two years now, and it’s become one of my favorite ways to unwind and support my wellbeing in midlife. If you deal with chronic stress, tension, or that “wired but tired” feeling, this is one of those tools that helps you slow down and reconnect with your body in the most calming way.

The infrared heat is gentle but incredibly soothing. I use it when I need deeper relaxation, when my muscles feel tight, or when I want to support my body’s natural detox process. Think of it like a warm cocoon you can enjoy while listening to music, watching a show, or simply taking a quiet moment for yourself. It’s surprisingly easy to use and feels like a spa-level treatment you can do right at home.

While everyone’s experience will be different, mine has been overwhelmingly positive, especially for stress relief and recovering after long days or workouts. If you’re craving more rest, relaxation, or nervous system support in midlife, this may be something worth exploring.

Wellness

A simple, comprehensive way to finally understand what’s going on inside your body.

One of the most helpful decisions I’ve made in my midlife wellness journey has been using Function Health for full-body lab testing. I recently completed my first panel, and I was honestly impressed by how thorough and user-friendly the entire process was.

Function Health tests over 100+ biomarkers, far more than a typical annual physical including hormones, inflammation markers, vitamins, minerals, metabolic health, gut and liver function, thyroid, and so much more. It’s one of the most complete, convenient at-home health assessments available.

Here’s what I personally loved:

✔ Fast, clear results

My results came back within about two weeks, along with clinician notes that helped me understand what each marker meant (something traditional lab reports rarely provide).

✔ Easy to share with your doctor

I printed my full report and sent it to my doctor for review, which made my next appointment far more productive. Instead of guessing, we had real data to guide next steps.

✔ Blood type + biological age

If you don’t know your blood type, Function gives you that information. You also get your biological age, mine came back 5.8 years younger than my chronological age, which was a fun and encouraging surprise.

✔ Real insight (not fear)

The test also highlighted a few areas I need to get a handle on, which is exactly why this kind of testing is so valuable in midlife. Knowledge is empowering, not overwhelming when you have a clear, easy-to-read report.

✔ Perfect for midlife wellness tracking

Whether you want to understand:
– fatigue
– stress
– weight changes
– hormone shifts
– inflammation
– metabolic health
– nutritional gaps

Function provides the clarity most midlife women never get from a standard exam.

Currently Function Health is offering Black Friday deals for only $1 per day for the year, a discount of $134. Hurry before the sale ends!
