Health Stack: Tamara Galinsky
Each week, we tap our network of health and fitness experts to offer personal insights and recommendations.
This week: Tamara Galinsky, founder of JETSET Pilates. Tamara’s wellness philosophy? Rest is non-negotiable. “Sleep and downtime are foundational. I turn off my phone at night, ignore texts after hours, and make time to be alone,” she says.

Even while running JETSET, Tamara keeps a consistent routine of daily strength training and regular Pilates classes.
Here are Tamara’s go-to products:
Perfect Amino by BodyHealth: “I take Perfect Amino before my morning workouts. It helps support muscle recovery and strength.”
Immune5 Food: “Throughout the day, I supplement with Immune5 Food from the Hall Longevity Clinic. It’s a staple in my wellness stack.”
Kesaradi Daily Glow Face Oil: “It gives my skin a hydrated, radiant glow without feeling heavy.”
Oura Ring: “I wear an Oura Ring to track sleep and HRV to help prioritize rest and recovery.’
Soundcloud: “I do guided breathwork several times a week at home — this mix is my favorite.”
Bestqool Red Light Therapy Lamp: “I usually pair breathwork with a session in front of my red light therapy lamp.”
Vuori: “My current favorite leggings. They’re soft, stretchy, flattering, and well-priced for their quality—definitely a go-to.”
JETSET: “Our Pilates class routines put me in a ‘feel good’ meditative state.”

You can’t outrun a bad diet. A study of 4,200 people across 34 countries found Americans burn the same daily calories as hunter-gatherers despite wildly different activity levels. The takeaway? Our bodies maintain consistent energy output. The real driver of obesity isn’t inactivity, it’s overeating.
Mood moves. According to new research, why and how you exercise matter more than duration or intensity for mental health. Exercising with friends or in a feel-good setting have greater mood boosting effects than solo or stressful settings. Movement is medicine, but meaning makes it work.
