As Silicon Valley's tech titans turn to $150,000 red-light therapy beds and $70,000 hyperbaric chambers, their quest for eternal youth and pain-free existence isn't just a statement of wealth—it's becoming a hallmark of their identity. This week, we unveil the opulence behind wellness with insights from 500 tech insiders who spare no expense for muscle relaxation and a youthful physique. On the flip side, we explore emerging sanctuaries of science-meets-wellness, where medical retreats offer transcranial stimulation and sleep therapies to enhance brain function and quality rest. And we'll wrap ourselves in the warm glow of innovation with the Infrared Sauna Blanket, a symbol of the burgeoning at-home wellness tech market.

The Information's survey of 500 tech insiders reveals a lavish approach to longevity: tech execs are indulging in wellness with a hefty price tag. Top purchases include $150,000 red-light therapy beds for muscle relaxation and pain relief, and $70,000 hyperbaric chambers, endorsed by the Mayo Clinic for their healing prowess. Leaders like Bezos and Zuckerberg make headlines not just for their tech, but also for their chiseled physiques, reflecting a fusion of health and luxury in Silicon Valley's lifestyle.
