The Longevity Home Products That (Actually) Work

Health and well-being start at home. After all, it’s where we spend the majority of our time. “Your home should function as a recovery center for the nervous system, immune system, and cardiovascular physiology, a place where biology can restore rather than defend,” says Dawn Mussallem, a doctor of osteopathic medicine and Chief Medical Officer at longevity clinic Fountain Life. Design can help support these goals, creating environments that reinforce healthy habits, help protect us from environmental harms, and boost our mental well-being. We asked experts and designers specializing in wellness to reveal the longevity home products, rooms, and ideas shaping their own interior design.

What’s the best thing you’ve integrated into your home to impact your health?

“The best things are my treadmill, my bike, and my elliptical. I have an addictive personality and so habit stacking is a way to use that to my advantage. I do this by allowing myself to binge watch TV—and only shows I love—on one of these three. So I’m currently working out my way through The Pitt!” —Arianna Huffington

“Water, air, and light are the fundamentals that affect health every day. I’ve integrated a water filtration system from Epic Water Filters, which is third-party verified and removes PFAS/PFOAs and other contaminants from my drinking water; tunable white lighting from CREE to support circadian rhythms; and air purifiers by Levoit in living and sleeping areas to improve indoor air quality.” —Ámbar Margarida

“An infrared sauna has been the most impactful addition to my home. I’m a strong believer in using heat to support circulation, detoxification, muscle recovery, and nervous system regulation. It is one of the simplest but most powerful tools we have for healthy aging.” —Dr. Frank Lipman

"Towards the beginning of the pandemic, I invested in a solid home gym for resistance training. For longevity, building and maintaining muscle mass as people get older is important and often underappreciated.” —Dr. Matt Kaeberlein

“If I’m honest, my favorite health-oriented feature at home is my collection of plants. Your home can have the best air quality in the world, but if it isn’t a calming and inspiring place, you still won’t feel fully healthy.” —Ximena Rodriguez

If you could add anything to your home, what would it be?

“I wish I had carved out a dedicated wellness room—a simple, light-filled space for movement and quiet reflection.” —Lisa Sternfeld

“If space and infrastructure allowed, I would love to integrate a steam room. The research around cardiovascular health, stress reduction, recovery, and longevity is compelling, and it’s a feature that turns wellness into a regular, restorative ritual rather than an occasional activity.” —Margarida

“I would build two things: a recovery suite and a dedicated sleep environment. The recovery suite would include a sauna and cold plunge circuit, as the evidence supporting sauna bathing shows associations with improved endothelial function, reduced arterial stiffness, lower blood pressure, favorable autonomic nervous system modulation, and reductions in systemic inflammation. The sleep environment would involve complete darkness, temperature control (cooler environments being consistently superior for sleep), high quality air purification, and proper humidity balance.” —Dr. Dawn Mussallem
