From Bali to Your Body | How INU8 Became One of My #CellCareFavorites
“Dress with intention—it’s your new ritual.” ~Dr. Monisha Bhanote
What if your clothes could do more than cover your body?
What if they could support your health—quietly, powerfully, all day long?
I first met Karen and Cassandra, the founders of INU8, at a wellness industry event in Bali. Surrounded by innovative thinkers and creators, we found ourselves in deep conversation about longevity, recovery, and how what we wear can actually influence how we feel—on a cellular level.
Right away, I was struck by our shared values. Simplicity, connection, sustainability—not just as words on a website, but as guiding principles stitched into every thread of their garments.
Clothing, Reimagined for Wellness
As an integrative physician, I often talk about nutrition, breathwork, and rituals for cellular health. But wearable wellness? That’s where INU8 stands out.
Karen and Cassandra created INU8 with a mission I deeply resonate with: to make getting dressed an act of healing. Every piece in their collection is intentionally designed to support recovery, regulation, and movement—without complicating your day.
They call it “All You Need” dressing—a capsule of timeless, technically advanced garments that flow with your lifestyle and remove the noise of fashion fads.
As Leonardo da Vinci once said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." And INU8 lives that truth, beautifully.
The Science Behind the Fabric
INU8 isn’t just elevated loungewear. It’s wearable wellness backed by textile science.
Their signature fabric, Ecoluxe, is crafted from:
70% REPREVE® premium recycled nylon (from post-consumer plastic bottles)
30% spandex interlock for 4-way stretch and performance
The result? A fabric that feels silky-soft yet performs like a pro:
Moisture-wicking and quick-dry
Pill-resistant and shape-retaining
Naturally anti-bacterial and odor-resistant
Broad-spectrum UV protective
Whether you're flowing through yoga, recovering after travel, or meditating at sunrise—Ecoluxe is engineered to move with you and support your biology.
Ecoluxe in Action | My Go-To Travel Tights
If there’s one piece I never travel without, it’s the INU8 Tights.
Carefully and cleverly designed with uncompromising quality, these tights are exactly what I need for day-long wear—whether I’m catching a flight, leading a wellness retreat, or slipping into a moving meditation.
Crafted from Ecoluxe, INU8’s signature fabric, these tights:
Breathe, stretch, and support from studio to street
Feel buttery-soft against the skin
Maintain shape and integrity—even after long-haul flights or multiple wears
Available in full length or capri, their thoughtful design features include:
Complete support through outer thighs and lower back for a weightless feel
A high but comfortable waist that slims and stays in place
Power mesh lining, squat-proof coverage, and an adjustable waistband
Laser-cut hems (no bunching over shoes), and three discreet pockets
Antibacterial, anti-odor, moisture-wicking, and UPF 50+ sun protection
Plus: they’re pill-resistant, double-lined, and rebound beautifully after wear
Their elegance is seasonless. The fit is functional. And the feel? Like a second skin—with purpose.
Why INU8 Aligns with #CellCare
As someone who studies the science of longevity and helps patients build rituals to reduce inflammation and optimize recovery, I look for tools that don’t add to the mental load.
INU8 is one of those tools.
You don’t have to think about it.
You just put it on—and let it work with your body, not against it.
Even the details speak to intention:
100% recycled polyester in trims and linings
OEKO-TEX® certified dyes for skin safety
C0 DWR water repellency—free of toxins
Silver-printed PU membranes to boost breathability and layering
A Conscious Choice for a Connected Life
Karen and Cassandra named the brand “INU”—pronounced “in-you”—because everything we need is already within us.
Wellness isn’t something we chase—it’s something we return to.
And their clothing honors that philosophy with every fiber.
My Takeaway
“As someone who studies the science of longevity, I’m always looking for tools that support recovery and regulation without adding to my patients’ mental load. INU8 is a wardrobe solution that works at the cellular level—just by getting dressed.”
