Recovery Mode: Get fitter, happier, and more productive

01.14.26

I spent last week in Vegas reporting on health tech at CES. We are tracking everything about our health this year, from brainwaves to urine, and even spit.

Fitness trackers and medical-grade equipment used to occupy separate market categories. But post-pandemic, they’ve converged. Now we’re logging every heartbeat and bowel movement and taking every supplement, all in the quest for longevity.

To help you sort through all the hype, we’re introducing Recovery Mode, our wellness package. Throughout January, we’re making science-backed recommendations and testing them all ourselves.

These fitness apps will help you turn New Year's resolutions into real results.

Ready, aim, fire—the latest health trackers use sensors to check your urine for proper hydration, ketone levels, and possible kidney stones.

It’s easier than ever to order your own blood draws, but direct-access testing won’t replace a doctor.
