Travel Essentials
Your guide to feeling grounded, energized, and healthy, no matter where your travels take you.
Traveling is exciting, but let’s be honest: it can also be a lot on your body. New environments, different foods, disrupted routines, long flights, and packed schedules can leave your system feeling overwhelmed and depleted. The good news? With the right essentials, you can support your body so you actually enjoy the journey instead of just surviving it.
Whether you're hopping on a plane, heading to a weekend event, or traveling for business, these are the wellness-centered essentials we never skip.
Nervous System Support
Travel is stimulating with bright airports, new time zones, and constant motion. Keep your system grounded with:
Electrolytes for hydration and regulation (we travel with Celtic sea salt!)
Magnesium at night to help your body unwind
Noise-canceling headphones for sensory calm
Neck pillow on the plane to keep your spine happy
A few minutes of breath work before takeoff or after landing
Little support tools go a long way when your environment is changing constantly.
Immune & Inflammation Support
Airplanes + new environments = more stress on your immune system. Pack essentials like:
Vitamin C + Zinc + Vitamin D + N-acetylcysteine
Digestive support for your gut (we always take The Wellness Way’s Digest Well with us— ACV + betaine)
Wellness Way supplements you normally take (routine doesn’t stop because you’re traveling!)
A reusable water bottle (start hydrating before you even leave home)
Albizia for when you eat your food allergies
Your immune system loves consistency. Bringing your regular supplements keeps you grounded.
Clean Snacks You Actually Enjoy
Travel days can throw off your eating schedule, especially if you have food sensitivities or allergies. Always bring:
Protein-forward snacks (our go-to’s include Chomps beef sticks, organic nuts, Equip protein bars)
Fresh fruit (bananas are easy)
Mineral water in a glass bottle for hydration
*Some people don’t realize that you CAN take your own food through airport security*
This helps you avoid the “airport roulette” of hoping they have something you can eat.
Comfort Items That Feel Like Home
Your nervous system thrives on familiarity. Add comfort to your stay with:
Your own pillowcase
A travel candle or essential oil roller
Blue-light glasses for hotel evenings
Sleep mask + earplugs
Travel-size air filter so you’re breathing in clean air
A few familiar items can transform a sterile hotel room into a calming environment.
Movement & Mobility Essentials
Your body needs movement when traveling—period. Pack:
Mini resistance band (tiny but effective)
A lacrosse or massage ball for hips + shoulders
Comfortable walking shoes and exercise clothes
A go-to 5–10 min mobility routine
Your spine, and mood, will thank you. Even if it’s a walk int he park…it’s important!
Mindset Rituals to Stay Balanced
Travel isn’t just physical—it’s mental. Build small rituals into your trip:
Do a morning check-in with your breath
Set one non-negotiable wellness habit per day
Create pockets of calm (journaling, stretching, or grounding)
Drink water before coffee
Get morning sunlight as soon as you arrive
These micro-habits anchor you no matter how different your surroundings are.
Traveling doesn’t have to derail how you feel. When you pack intentionally and support your body from the inside out, you stay energized, clear-headed, and regulated throughout your trip. Whether you're exploring a new city or hopping between business meetings, you deserve to feel your best.
