Last chance! I'm a personal trainer, and my favorite recovery tool just dropped by $200 in the Prime Day sales
You know, like, actually having to do something about my achy muscles. I know, guilty as charged.
But that's the beauty of the hugely popular Hyperice Normatec 3. The leg 'massager' is so much more than that. It delivers dynamic air compression to help boost recovery, maximize performance and reduce muscular fatigue, all while you sit and do, well, nothing.
Elite athletes are using it, and I'll say this with my chest: it's epic. But you guessed it, it's also costly, which is why Prime Day is the perfect opportunity to pounce.
Right now, you can get the Hyperice Normatec 3 for $100 off at Hyperice if you choose the legs-only option or on sale for $200 off at Amazon if you choose the whole recovery system.
The kit is full-body, including legs, hips and arms, and comes FSA-HSA-approved. You can save money by opting for just legs and hips for $920, or you can shop the 'just legs' option for $799.
The Hyperice Normatec 3 is an advanced recovery tool that might cost you a bit upfront, but saves you down the line. No massage therapist fees in sight.
Let's get the specs out of the way first. The control unit weighs 3.2lbs and battery life lasts up to 3 hours. On Amazon, Normatec Legs (the legs-only device) is only available in standard, which is measured as a 31"-35" inseam, and the maximum thigh circumference is 30".
The leg attachments come with 7 compression levels and feature ZoneBoost technology, which means you can ask the device to go longer and firmer in sore or tight areas.
The Normatec 3 uses air compression to help your muscles recover faster by increasing circulation and reducing swelling. The device also uses a patented Pulse technology to aid precision using 5 overlapping zones, and it uses biomimicry, which, according to Hyperice, replicates the "natural muscle pumps and one-way valves of the legs."
If you're not already sold, there's even a Hyperice App, and you can level up with the hips and arms features for a full-body experience.
From my experience, the compressions can feel quite intense, but once you adjust to them, it is deeply relaxing. All you need to do is sit back and get your favorite Netflix show ready.
You might need help strapping in if you use the entire kit!

Pura Scents recalling more than 850,000 diffusers as magnet issue may cause ingestion hazard
Pura Scents is recalling more than 850,000 diffusers because some magnets may detach and cause a possible ingestion hazard to children. The company is recalling about 851,400 Pura 4 Smart Home Fragrance Diffusers with detachable covers. It said an additional 1,100 were sold in Canada. Pura Scents said that the magnets on the inside cover of the product can detach, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death. The company has received three reports of magnets detaching from the cover. No injuries have been reported. The diffusers were sold at Target, Scheels and other stores nationwide from August 2023 through May 2025 for about $50. They were also sold online through Pura's website, as well as online at Amazon, Target and Scheels. Pura Scents is offering a free replacement cover. Consumers are advised to immediately dispose of the existing detachable cover and to keep the diffusers out of the reach of children and pets. To receive the free replacement cover, individuals may contact Pura Scents at 855-394-5292 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday. The company can also be emailed at [email protected]. Consumers may also visit the company's website and click on 'Recall' at the bottom of the page for more information.

9 Best Things To Spend Your HSA Funds on in 2025
If you have a health savings account (HSA), you probably know it covers doctor visits and prescriptions. But your HSA can do a lot more than that. You can use these tax-free dollars on things that improve your physical and mental health or help you be more prepared in an emergency. Here are some of the best things you can spend your HSA funds on in 2025. Discover Next: Read More: Therapy and Mental Health Services Generally, therapy or mental health services can be considered a qualified medical expense if it's deemed medically necessary by a licensed healthcare professional. If eligible, you can use your HSA funds to pay for sessions with psychologists, licensed clinical social workers and other qualified mental health providers. Online therapy platforms could also be eligible as long as they're run by licensed professionals. Check Out: Menstrual Products Pads, tampons, panty liners, menstrual cups and period underwear are subject to the pink tax and can get pretty expensive. Thankfully, with the passage of the CARES Act in 2020, period products are now HSA-eligible. Because your HSA contributions are tax-free, you can at least avoid being double taxed on the expense by using your HSA funds to pay for these products. Sunscreen (SPF 15 or Higher) Sunscreen is also HSA-eligible as long as it's SPF 15 or higher and labeled as broad spectrum. This means it protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Note that your benefits administrator may request itemized receipts to verify your expenses. So if you aren't sure whether a sunscreen product is eligible for reimbursement or not, reach out to your HSA administrator or tax advisor to confirm before buying. First-Aid Supplies You can also use your HSA funds to build or restock your first-aid kit, including things like bandages, antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointments, gauze and thermometers. Some specialized items in advanced kits might not be covered, so check with your HSA guidelines. Glasses, Contacts and LASIK Surgery Another area you can use your HSA funds on is vision care, including eye exams, prescription eyeglasses, contact lenses and prescription sunglasses. LASIK surgery is also an eligible expense. Acupuncture and Chiropractic Care Alternative treatments like acupuncture and chiropractic care may be HSA-approved if they're required for the treatment, diagnosis or prevention of a disease or illness. Some benefits administrators may also require a letter of medical necessity (LMN) from the healthcare provider to show how the alternative treatment can alleviate the issue. Dental Care You can use your HSA to pay for cleanings, x-rays, fillings, crowns and other dental work. This includes both preventive and restorative services. Orthodontic treatments, like braces or Invisalign, are also eligible if they're medically necessary. Pregnancy and Fertility Items Prenatal vitamins, pregnancy tests, ovulation kits and breast pumps all qualify. You can also use your HSA for childbirth classes, lactation support and doula services in some cases. If you're going through IVF or fertility treatments, check to see which parts of the process are eligible. Over-the-Counter Medications You no longer have to wait for a doctor's prescription to use HSA funds for most over-the-counter drugs. This includes allergy medicine, cold and flu remedies, pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen and heartburn medications. Just make sure you save your receipts in case you need to verify your purchases later. What You Can't Use Your HSA For Generally, you can't use your HSA to pay for things that don't meaningfully promote the proper function of the body or prevent/treat illness or disease. You also can't use HSA funds to pay premiums. If you take money out of your HSA for something other than qualified medical expenses before you turn 65, you'll have to pay income tax plus a 20% penalty. But once you turn 65, you can use the money in your HSA for anything you want. Take Advantage of Your HSA Your HSA can help you save money on the products and services you already use to take care of your health. Before making a purchase, it's always a good idea to double-check if the item qualifies. But in general, if it's tied to your health or wellness, there's a good chance it's HSA-eligible.

Geneoscopy's New FDA-Approved Stool Collection Method Simplifies At-Home Colorectal Cancer Screening
ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Geneoscopy, Inc., a life sciences company focused on developing diagnostic tests for the advancement of gastrointestinal health, received FDA approval to streamline the stool collection process for ColoSense®, its RNA-based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening test. The newly approved collection kit no longer requires patients to separate their sample into multiple containers. This improves ease of use and reduces barriers to at-home screening, 1 while maintaining clinical performance. 'We've taken a critical step toward improving the at-home colorectal cancer screening experience by removing one of the most burdensome aspects for patients—the scraping of stool,' said Dr. Erica Barnell, Chief Medical & Science Officer of Geneoscopy. 'The new collection kit simplifies the process for collecting a patient's stool sample. By eliminating the most confusing and undesirable step, we believe ColoSense will drive higher adherence and better outcomes.' ColoSense is indicated for individuals aged 45 and older who are at average risk for CRC. It uses advanced RNA technology to detect biomarkers associated with CRC and advanced adenomas (AA)—precancerous growths that can develop into cancer if left untreated. As the only FDA-approved RNA-based test for CRC screening, ColoSense demonstrated 93% sensitivity for CRC and 45% sensitivity for AA in average-risk individuals. Among average-risk individuals aged 45 to 49, where CRC incidence is on the rise, the test demonstrated 100% sensitivity for CRC and 44% sensitivity for AA.* Despite the availability of multiple screening options, an estimated 44 million people aged 45-75 remain unscreened for CRC. 2 To help address a common barrier to stool-based screening, the updated ColoSense collection kit removes the need to scrape the sample. This improvement is expected to increase patient compliance, lower the rate of collection errors, and reduce the frequency of invalid samples. This ease of use can translate into fewer missed screenings and a greater overall impact on population health. 'To exceed 80% compliance for colorectal cancer screening, the patient experience for stool-based screening must be improved,' said Andrew Barnell, Chief Executive Officer of Geneoscopy. 'The new ColoSense test does that, offering patients everything they like about at-home, high-sensitivity screening, but now, with an easier collection process.' ColoSense is included in National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, based on an evaluation of the strength of its clinical evidence and the robust science behind the technology. The test will be available through Geneoscopy's strategic collaboration with Labcorp, expanding access for providers and patients across the United States. ColoSense represents a significant advancement in noninvasive stool testing options, reinforcing the importance of accessible tools that help reach individuals who are less likely to undergo colonoscopy. About ColoSense ColoSense is intended for the qualitative detection of colorectal neoplasia-associated RNA markers and for the presence of occult hemoglobin in human stool. ColoSense is for use with the ColoSense Collection Kit, the ColoSense Test Kit, the ColoSense Software, and the following instruments: Polymedco iFOBT Analyzer; bioMérieux EMAG Nucleic Acid Extraction System; and Bio-Rad QXDx ddPCR System. ColoSense is a single-site test performed at Geneoscopy, Inc. A positive ColoSense result may indicate the presence of colorectal cancer (CRC), advanced adenomas (AA), or serrated precancerous lesions (SPL) and should be followed by a colonoscopy. ColoSense is indicated as a screening test for adults aged 45 years or older who are at the typical average risk for developing CRC. ColoSense is not a replacement for diagnostic colonoscopy or surveillance colonoscopy in high-risk individuals. Results from Geneoscopy's pivotal CRC-PREVENT trial were published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). For more information, visit About Geneoscopy, Inc. Geneoscopy, Inc. is a life sciences company focused on developing diagnostic tests for gastrointestinal health. Leveraging its proprietary, patented stool-derived eukaryotic RNA (seRNA) biomarker platform, Geneoscopy's mission is to empower patients and providers to transform gastrointestinal health through innovative diagnostics.
