The Air Doctor is a breath of fresh air


NEWS – Since most of my immediate family member face the challenges of allergies and the effects, I am always interested in products that can help to alleviate the horrible coughing, sneezing and runny nose and eyes which are some of the symptoms we experience. Over the past few years, I have been lucky enough to test a few air purifiers including some that are currently being used in my home every day.

During one of my notorious internet browsing sessions, I came across the Air Doctor. According to the manufacturer: “the AIR Doctor combines our UltraHEPA™ filter with our proprietary dual action Carbon/Gas Trap/VOC filter to remove or substantially reduce virtually all the particles, toxic ozone, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and gases from the air in your home.” Some of the features include professional WhisperJet fans which are 30% quieter than ordinary air purifiers, a built-in air quality monitor, their proprietary dual action Carbon/Gas Trap/VOC Filter, and a professional-grade air quality sensor to assess the air quality in the room and immediately adjust to the correct level of filtration. The AIR Doctor is a 100% sealed system to ensure all the air you breathe is pure and filtered.

If you would like to learn more about the Air Doctor or if you would like to purchase one, you can head over to the Air Doctor website. The Air Doctor can be purchased for $629.00, plus $29.95 S&P. When it is time to purchase additional filters, one year of the combo pack of filters can be purchased for $144.95, plus $9.95 S&P. You can also set up a recurring plan for a discount or purchase the filters separately.

Squeeze in a workout in just about any space with the Treadly ultra-thin treadmill

NEWS – If you live in a small home or apartment and thought it was impossible to own a treadmill, think again. Treadly is an ultra-thin compact treadmill that allows you to walk or jog in just about any space. It’s easy to pull out when you want to workout then slides away under a bed or couch when you’re done.

Treadly only weighs 64 pounds and measures a petite 55-inches long and 25-inches wide. More incredibly it’s almost impossibly thin (3.8-inches).

As you might imagine its compact design does present a couple of drawbacks. It has a weight limit of 220 lbs and can only be used on hard surfaces, no rugs or carpets.

Unlike traditional treadmills Treadly doesn’t use buttons, instead Infrared stepping technology tracks your foot position on the belt to start, stop, and adjust speed.

A foldable handrail provides safety and stability for faster paces. Treadly can reach a top speed of 5 mph when the handrail is in the up position and 3.8 mph when the handrail is down. So it’s perfect for light jogging or just getting your steps in.

And Treadly’s compact motor is quiet at a nearly inaudible 6 decibels.

Treadly even makes it easy to keep track of your time, steps and distance with an easy to read touch-free LCD display.

You can purchase Treadly for $999 in your choice of steel gray or rose pink from treadly.co.

The Electronic Acupuncture Pen takes away the fear of needles


NEWS – For many years I have heard about Acupuncture and the benefits of this treatment/practice. Wikipedia defines Acupuncture as “a form of alternative medicine in which thin needles are inserted into the body. It is a key component of traditional Chinese medicine. As such, acupuncture is considered a pseudoscience as the theories and practices of TCM are not based upon modern scientific knowledge.”

To be quite honest, the thought of needles inserted into my body scares me beyond any willingness to try it.

However, I just came across a device called the Electronic Acupuncture Pen. Its ad campaign starts with the following verbiage that immediately grabs my interest.

“Do you want to treat body pains with acupuncture but are afraid to be punctured by needles? Then try the Electronic Acupuncture Pen instead. It’s a painless acupuncture stimulation that activates tissues, firms sagging and aging skin, promotes blood circulation, detoxes the meridians, and helps reduce muscle pain.”

If this is, in fact, true, I would be very willing to give it a chance. The Electronic Acupuncture Pen is available on the Yoga Zen Store website for $79.99, and they are currently having a flash sale offering it at the really low price of $19.99.

Hupnos Self Learning Snoring Mask: Better cohabitation through technology

NEWS – Topping the list of things my wife would tell me to order immediately, the Hupnos sleep mask is a new entrant into a market full of nose strips, tilting beds and other devices designed to bring harmony to snorers and those who share a bed with them. What makes the Hupnos mask different than other technologies is that it’s a smart system that analyzes your snoring patterns and uses multiple approaches to get you to quiet down.


The Hupnos looks like a cross between a set of VR goggles and a diving mask. It covers your entire eyes and most of your nose. It has an elastic band that wraps around your head along a silicone nose piece that’s form fitted, removable for washing and, according to the company, guaranteed to fit your face. The mask communicates with an app through Bluetooth and has a battery life of more than twenty hours. It currently works with both IOS and Android.

To work its anti-snoring magic, the Hupnos relies on a two-stage process that utilizes accelerometers, positional sensors, and vibration motors, along with an app to learn your snoring habits. The app will record your snoring throughout the night, allowing you to figure out what seems to exacerbate or minimize your snoring.

In the first stage, the Hupnos employs a gentle vibration when the mask detects that you’re snoring. Often simply changing positions is enough to interrupt your snoring pattern. If that doesn’t work, the second phase is activated where the mask increases the exhalation pressure of the user’s breath through the nosepiece. Called EPAP, or expiratory positive airway pressure, this technique uses exhaling breath to keep the throat from narrowing, and, hopefully, stopping you from snoring. Although EPAP is not a new technology, the Hupnos mask allows the user to adjust the pressure to suit their comfort level.

The Hupnos was fully funded on Indegogo in December and has started shipping to backers. You can order directly from the site with delivery expected by April of this year. The current price is $125 and includes the mask, a micro USD cable, quick start guide, and a link to download the app.

Relieve muscle soreness anytime anywhere with the Morph collapsible foam roller

NEWS – There are several benefits to using a foam roller, like encouraging muscle recovery and boosting circulation and flexibility. However, traditional foam rollers are big, bulky and awkward to carry with you. The Morph collapsible foam roller gives you all the benefits of foam rolling with less bulk and more portability.

This sturdy fold-and-go foam roller designed by former NFL player Nate Lawrie folds flat for easy portability and storing. The roller is made of high-density foam and can handle up to 350 pounds.

Expanding the Morph is done by simultaneously pulling on the drawstring pullers until the end disks pop into place. Collapse it by pushing on the disks at each end and fold flat.

When collapsed the roller is only 2-inches in height. Making it small enough to fit easily inside of a gym bag, locker, or luggage. The roller expands to 5 and a half inches when opened.

You can choose from a traditional smooth surface or a deep tissue ridged surface in either sunset orange or midnight blue.

There are even workout cards included to help you get rolling. The Morph collapsible foam roller is available from The Grommet for $68.
