My 2024 Health Journey:  3 Ways I'm Using Tech to Get Healthier

My 2024 Health Journey: 3 Ways I'm Using Tech to Get Healthier

As 2024 unfolds, I find myself reflecting on the rollercoaster that was 2023. It was a year of incredible highs and undeniable challenges, but the most crucial realization I walked away with was the absolute necessity of putting my health first. This insight sparked a promise to myself as the new year began - to prioritize my well-being above all else. This commitment wasn't just about continuing the health journey I embarked on last year, with its personal training sessions and invigorating dance classes; it was about incorporating technology into my regimen to make health not just a goal, but a lifestyle, especially as a mom, entrepreneur, and frequent traveler.

Let me share with you how three pieces of technology are not just changing the game for my health journey but are also seamlessly integrating into my busy life of juggling motherhood, running a business, and constantly being on the move.

1. Katalyst EMS Suit: My Portable Gym

First up is the Katalyst EMS Suit, a breakthrough in my fitness routine that aligns perfectly with my packed schedule. For someone who juggles endless meetings and deadlines, finding time to exercise can feel like solving a Rubik's cube (ask my assistant, Jessica!). The EMS Suit fits perfectly into my packed schedule, allowing me to achieve more with less time. It’s not just about the convenience; it's about how empowered I feel, knowing I can turn a 20-minute slot into a full-body workout session. It's not just about fitting exercise into a busy schedule; it's about ensuring I'm always at my best, whether I'm closing deals, running after my kids, or catching a flight. I had worked out using a similar EMS suit when I lived in Madrid, Spain, a few years ago, and it had worked very well for me, so I was thrilled when I saw I could get a similar suit in the US. Using Katalyst doesn’t replace working out with my trainer or dancing; it’s a great complement to my busy lifestyle.?

2. Naturepedic Organic Mattress: Sleep, the Foundation of My Energy

The Naturepedic Organic Mattress , complemented by its advanced sleep system, has revolutionized the way I sleep. Sleep is my sanctuary - it's where I recharge, both as an entrepreneur who travels often and as a busy mom of 3 kids. The Naturepedic EOS mattress innovative zippered construction provides unique flexibility and "under the hood" access that I needed customize both sides of the mattress’s comfort level,? the individually wrapped coils allow me to not get interrupted sleep if my youngest needs to sleep with mommy and is moving around because of the motion isolation technology,? and of course the environmentally friendly organic materials this mattress is EWG verified and is GOTS (global organic textile standards) certified organic. Giving me a toxin-free sleeping environment, which is crucial for me, especially when I'm home between travels. The technology in this mattress allows me to get clean, uninterrupted, restorative sleep that I need. In a world where every ounce of energy counts, this mattress ensures I wake up ready to tackle whatever the day holds, from pitch meetings to school runs.

Waking up feeling genuinely refreshed without all the toxins (and it’s handmade in Chagrin Falls, Ohio!)? helping me get ready to face the challenges of leading? my new business venture, carpooling? my children to their activities, or embarking on yet another exciting business trip—has underscored the foundational role sleep plays in my overall wellness. The Naturepedic certified Organic Mattress taught me that it matters what I sleep on—reclaiming my right to restful sleep is not just a luxury; it's an absolute necessity for maintaining the balance between my personal health and professional success.

(I need to give my dear friend Navah Berg a huge shoutout here, as she was the one who first told me about Naturapedic’s organic mattress. Thanks, Navah!)?

3. LYMA Laser: Skincare on the Go

Last, but certainly not least, the LYMA Laser has transformed my skincare routine into a simple, yet effective ritual that fits into my dynamic lifestyle. As someone who's always on the go, having the ability to maintain my skin's health without regular spa visits is invaluable. The LYMA Laser offers that convenience, ensuring that despite the stress, travel, and sleepless nights that come with entrepreneurship and motherhood, my skin doesn't show it. It's a testament to how self-care and professional care can be one and the same, empowering me to feel confident in my skin wherever I am.

Add Some Health Tech?

Integrating these technologies into my health routine has been a revelation, showing me that maintaining health and well-being is not only essential for my success but entirely achievable, even with a schedule as hectic as mine. Whether it’s squeezing in an effective workout with the Katalyst EMS Suit, enjoying deep, restorative sleep on my Naturepedic mattress, or keeping my skin healthy with the Luma Laser, these tools have become indispensable allies in my journey.

My hope in sharing this journey is to inspire others who might find themselves in similar shoes - balancing the demands of parenthood, entrepreneurship, and frequent travel.?

I've learned that technology can indeed transform our most basic human needs into sources of strength and rejuvenation. It’s a lesson I hope to carry forward in all aspects of my health journey, a testament to the power of innovation in enhancing our daily lives.

Technology has the power to transform not just how we work, but how we live and take care of ourselves. Here’s to a healthier, more balanced journey, where we don’t just strive for success in our careers but in our personal health and well-being too. After all, our health is the ultimate foundation upon which everything else is built.

(I’m hoping to share more on my journey and how tech is helping reach my goals soon!)?
