Everything we actually use. Some of it earned the Wellness Bum approved badge. Some of it is just here because you keep asking.
The wellness products, brands, and tools that have earned a permanent spot in our routines. The ones we'd buy again. The ones we'd tell our group chat about. Sorted by category. Discount codes where we have them. Honest about the rest.
Brands we'd recommend even without the affiliate dollar. The ones we actually use, in real rotation.
Brands we carry because they're brands we use, like, and you ask about them, but not ones we'd put our editorial stamp on. We're being honest with you.
Some of these links earn us a small commission. The badge is editorial, not paid. The line stays clean.
The bovine colostrum we actually take on rest days, not the sponsored one. ARMRA's Colostrum™ is a whole-food powder that supports immune, gut, and skin health — the kind of thing your nervous system thanks you for in 2 weeks, not 2 months. We use the unflavored in coffee and the watermelon during marathon training.
The supplement brand we actually trust. Founded by athletes, NSF Certified for Sport (which matters — most supplements aren't), and run by people who don't believe in the rest of the supplement industry's marketing. Their creatine, magnesium L-threonate, and protein are in our daily rotation.
The probiotic that finally made us care about probiotics. DS-01 is the daily synbiotic we take every morning before coffee. Independent clinical research, transparent strain disclosure, and the only one that didn't feel like marketing.
The multivitamin we actually take. Visible supply chain, third-party tested, formulations built around what women in their 30s actually need (not a generic stack). The Essential for Women 18+ and HyaCera are in regular rotation.
The C15:0 supplement that's gotten quietly serious in the longevity conversation. Backed by real published research (rare for the category), and it's the one supplement nobody in the industry is selling you on yet — which, for once, is a good sign.
The greens powder that needs no introduction. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, the formulation is contested. Yes, we drink it on travel days when we know our routine is going to fall apart. Honest take: not magic, not useless, not the place to start.
The plant-based meal delivery that turned organic eating into a status symbol. Pricey. Pretty. Genuinely useful when life gets too loud to cook. We use it in marathon weeks and travel weeks, not as a daily thing.
The adaptogen brand for when you've decided to be the kind of person who takes adaptogens. The SuperYou is the one we'd actually defend (real evidence on stress + ashwagandha). The rest is vibe-driven.
The 5-day reset that the wellness internet won't shut up about. Celebrity-founded, premium-priced, and the cleanse has its fans. We've tried it. Once was enough. Listed because you asked.
The coffee alternative for days when we don't want coffee but still want something hot and slightly ritualistic. Cacao, masala chai, mushrooms, no jitters. We rotate it in 2–3 mornings a week.
The kombucha that doesn't taste like vinegar punishment. Pomegranate is the gateway flavor. Pink Lady Apple is the upgrade. Not a wellness miracle, just a better afternoon drink than a Diet Coke.
The hydrogel sports nutrition we actually use on long runs and race days. What the elites use. What works. The Gel 100 is the marathon staple. The Drink Mix 320 lives in the bottle on every long run. No flavors that announce themselves, no gut drama.
The Spanish-made running gels we discovered training in Madrid. Real food ingredients (dates, honey, sea salt), no industrial taste, made by runners. Better than anything we've had from a US brand.
The hydration mix in our run kit. Electrolytes, light flavor, no neon coloring. Used during marathon training, on long flights, and on hangover Sundays.
The Align is in every drawer. The Wunder Train is what we run in. The Define jacket is the only jacket we own. Yes it's expensive. Yes the quality earns it. The thing we'd buy again every time.
The activewear that crossed over into streetwear and then crossed back. Loved by everyone, loved by us 60% of the time. The accolade hoodie is forever. The leggings depend on the cut.
The running shoe brand we wear on easy days. Cloudmonster for recovery runs. Cloudsurfer for tempo. Not the daily trainer for marathon training (that's a different lane), but the shoe we'd recommend to a non-runner trying to start.
The organic cotton basics that replaced our Hanes. T-shirts, underwear, loungewear. Fair Trade Certified, soft, and quietly the best basic in the drawer.
The newer activewear brand for the girls who've moved on from the obvious ones. Cute prints, technical fabric, smaller batches. Worth the look.
The functional fitness method that doesn't feel like a workout class. Resistance equipment, low-impact, designed around how women's bodies actually work. The thing we do on days the run feels like too much.
The running app that finally got training plans right. Built by runners, for runners, with adaptive plans that flex when life happens. We trained for Lisbon and Berlin halves on it. Not perfect (the strength sessions need work), but the best of what's out there.
The social network we actually like. Where we post the runs we don't want to post on Instagram. Worth the premium tier for the route planning and segments alone.
The ring we wear every day. Sleep tracking that's actually useful. Cycle tracking that's accurate. Recovery scores we trust more than how we feel before coffee. The gen 4 is the upgrade worth making.
The strap for when sleep tracking isn't enough and you want recovery data that's actually actionable. We've worn both Oura and Whoop. Whoop is for the data nerds, Oura is for everyone else. We use both.
The meditation headband for people who are bad at meditating. Real-time feedback turns sitting still into a game with a score. Actually helped. Not used daily, but worth the once-a-week return.
The Dutch sleep brand that finally made us care about pillows. Buckwheat hulls, organic linen, designed by a sleep scientist who got tired of bad pillows. The thing we'd take in a fire.
The face tools for people who think face tools are silly. The Empress Stone is the gua sha that earned its place. Use it three times a week, see what happens after a month. Skincare is the product, but the ritual is the point.
From our sister brand. Skin barrier–first formulations made by women who got tired of skincare that breaks the barrier and calls it active. The Hydra Cream and the Ceramide Serum are the two we keep restocked.
