Try This – 3 cool shares for the week

what I’m paying attention to

Try This community, sometimes wellness can feel so serious, so my goal today is to lighten it up with three fun/cool shares for you.

I hope you enjoy!

Shout Out to Our Sponsor Bon Charge Who Help Keep This Newsletter Free

Modern life isn’t exactly helping our hair. Stress, poor sleep, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and constant overload can all impact the health of our scalp and follicles over time, leading to hair loss.

That’s why I’m always looking for ways to support recovery and resilience at the cellular level, not just cover up the symptoms after the fact.

One tool I’ve added to my routine is the BON CHARGE Red Light Cap.

It uses clinically studied 650nm red light delivered through 125 LEDs to support follicle activity and scalp health, where growth begins. Hair follicles are highly metabolically active tissue, and like the rest of the body, they respond to circulation, light, and mitochondrial energy.

What I appreciate most is the simplicity.

⏱️ 10 minutes. One button. Done.
✨ Lightweight. Hands-free. Automatic shutoff.
📖 Wear it while reading or answering emails.
🚫🧪 No chemicals. No mess. No extra effort.
✅Just a consistent, science-backed ritual that fits into real life.

For the next 48 hours only, BON CHARGE is offering 20% off their Red Light Cap. Use code TRYTHIS20 at checkout to give your hair (and your scalp) the support they deserve.

#1 It’s Mother’s Day This Weekend

I got a chuckle from this post and of course immediately shared it with my wife Yasmin, who's celebrating her first Mother's Day this weekend.

Consider this your reminder to put some effort into a thoughtful gift for all the amazing moms in your life.

Thank you, honey, for every sacrifice you've made on our journey to becoming parents. I see all of it, and I love you more for it every single day.

#2 Direct to Consumer Labwork

Found this one through Russell Shaw on X and thought it was cool!

LabHackr is a free site that matches identical direct-to-consumer lab tests across 52 retailers, so you can find the cheapest version of the exact same panel.

You can browse tests by category (hormones, thyroid, gut health, vitamins and minerals, autoimmune markers, cardiovascular health, and more). Instead of bouncing between websites trying to figure out where to order an ApoB test, ferritin panel, magnesium test, or hormone workup, LabHackr organizes everything in a surprisingly easy-to-use way.

Of course, more testing isn’t always better, and labs are best understood when interpreted with guidance from a healthcare professional. But if you’re curious about understanding your body a little more deeply—or you’ve ever fallen down a rabbit hole trying to compare tests—this site is pretty helpful.

#3 Heartwarming TV Show I’m Watching

I'm not watching a lot of TV these days, but when my wife and I have 30 minutes in the evening, we love catching up on the latest episode of Love on the Spectrum Season 4.

If you haven't followed the series, it's a Netflix docuseries that follows young adults on the autism spectrum as they navigate dating and the search for real connection.

Here's the thing. So much of reality TV right now is completely fake. Producers manufacture drama, contestants get coached on what to say, and edits are stitched together to invent fights and love triangles that never actually happened.

Love on the Spectrum is the rare show that's not only 100% real but totally genuine. Nobody is performing for a brand deal. Nobody is auditioning for the spinoff. It's just real people being real. You walk away feeling better about humanity than you did 30 minutes earlier and with a ton of empathy for everyone on the spectrum and for the families doing their best to help their loved ones live and experience life fully. Highly recommend.

Alright, that’s it for this week!

Much love,
Dhru Purohit
