Lepulse Smart Health Gadgets Review: Can a $119 Scale Rival a DEXA Scan and Change How You Track Your Fitness?

Over the past year, I’ve cleaned up my diet, tracked what I ate religiously, and lost almost 50 pounds. I was measuring my weight with a regular scale, but I had a lot of discussions with my personal trainer about how to better track my progress as I got closer to my goals. Luckily for both of us, the good folks at Lepulse offered up their Food Scale, Smart Tape Measure, and P1 scale at just the right time, and they’ve definitely been a boon to refining my health journey!

Mighty Spark Chicken Snack Sticks Review: A Surprisingly Tasty Protein Snack That Doesn’t Feel Like Punishment

When it comes to high-protein meat sticks, I usually expect something practical more than exciting. They are the kind of snack you toss in a bag for later, not the kind of food you get genuinely curious about. That was my mindset going into the Mighty Spark Chicken Snack Sticks. These high-protein meat sticks promise low calories, decent protein, and a healthier-sounding ingredient list, but the real question is simple: do they actually taste good?

We were offered the chance to try the PEPPER EMS Suit, which leverages electromagnetic stimulation to maximize your workout in less time. Is it a winner? Let’s check it out!

Fitnexa SomniPods 3 Earbuds Review: Having Trouble Sleeping? Maybe These Can Help!

Everybody sleeps. Duh. And yet, everybody is unique in how well—or how badly—they sleep. I tend to sleep rather well (and heavily), but occasionally I have bouts of sleeplessness. When that happens, I resort to background noise on my clock radio, a floor fan blowing in my face, or even music via my trusty Apple AirPods Pro earbuds. The point is that everyone has tried-and-true tricks that work for them, with varying degrees of success. Enter the Fitnexa SomniPods 3 earbuds. These light, tiny wonders can help those with sleep issues, but they are not perfect.

The Aranet Radon Plus Digital Radon Detector is one of those gadgets you hope you never “need,” but once you have it, you won’t want to be without it. Radon is invisible, odorless, and potentially dangerous, so having a simple way to monitor it in real time brings real peace of mind.

Eli Health Hormometer Cortisol Test Review: Feeling Stressed? Find Out If You Really Are

Everyone feels stressed at one point or another, but how do you know if it’s a chronic health issue or just a one-time problem? You can ask your doctor to test you, but it will involve a blood draw, be expensive, and the results will be for just that one point in time. What if you could test in the comfort of your own home without needles and have a result in as little as 20 minutes? That’s what the Eli Health Hormometer Cortisol Test Kit claims to offer. They sent me a kit, and I tried it. Let’s see…

NextSense Smartbuds Review: A Clever Sleep-Tech Idea That Never Quite Let Me Forget It Was in My Ear

NextSense Smartbuds arrive with promises that would make any sleep gadget hard to resist. You tell yourself this might be just the thing™ that finally blocks the hotel HVAC drone, the hallway slams, your spouse who somehow snores in surround sound, and the midnight brain chatter that has no business chattering when the rest of you is trying to clock out. Sleep earbuds already have a tough job. They have to stay comfortable against a pillow, disappear enough that you don’t fixate on them, last through the night, and actually help rather than just look good in an app.
