REVIEW – I’ve had a gym membership in the past, but I’d rather work out in the comfort and privacy of my own home. So I have accumulated a variety of workout gear that includes a Sole Fitness treadmill, a low-end Total Gym, and a collection of hand weights, resistance bands, etc. And now I …

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed several red light therapy devices from a laser helmet that claimed to restore thinning hair (it didn’t for me) to an infrared wrap that claimed to help with sore joints (again, it didn’t really help me).

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Even though I brush my teeth twice a day and floss regularly, I still have problems with build-up behind my lower front teeth due to how they are crowded.

REVIEW – Just prior to the The Bitvae Water Flosser coming up for review my dentist told me to start water flossing. What timing! The concept brings back my memories of the original boxy, water flosser my Mom bought. It sat on a wall mount because there were no countertops in our house, just standalone …

REVIEW – I had a cheap rowing machine a few years ago that I really enjoyed – not so much for the product but just because I liked the workout. A few months into using it though, the elastic-based strap snapped while I was rowing, throwing me backward. It was unpleasant, to say the least. …

REVIEW – For many years I have suffered from Plantar Fasciitis. I have been to physical therapy and even received very painful injections in my heel.

REVIEW – Fitness wearables are all the rage, and the accuracy of and amount of data they provide is ever-increasing. Most of these wearables come in the form of a watch, like those by Apple or Garmin. But what if you don’t want a big clunky watch on your wrist? Or, what if you want …

REVIEW – I’ve decided this is the year of wellness and balance. I’m really trying to pull it all together and carve out time for all the stuff I’m supposed to be doing besides raising a kid and making a living, like eating well and getting enough rest. Results have been mixed, but I did …

REVIEW – Massagers are a hot item. The ones we typically see are percussion massagers – the ones that use repeated beatings to pound your aching muscles into submission. But sometimes, you just want a good, non-pounding massage to gently shake everything into a nice, relaxed state. Enter Dr. Massage and the Prowlr orbital massager. …

NEWS – Hearing loss is no joke. I play drums. Remove the ‘r’ from drum and that’s what I’d be if I hadn’t used hearing protection the whole time I’ve played. But I also use hearing protection when I mow the yard, blow leaves, use power tools louder than a drill, and when I vacuum the …
