Whether it’s a short hop or a longer journey, time away from home can easily derail our routines. Packing a few wellness travel essentials can help to keep things on track.
From nourishment and hydration to gentle rituals that help her stay grounded, these are the items Liz returns to again and again when she’s packing her travel bag.
The travel essentials Liz Earle loves
Supporting energy and strength
One supplement Liz never leaves behind is creatine.
“I add 4g to my morning coffee to support brain energy and muscle strength,” she explains. This is a habit she maintains whether she’s at home or away.
She also pairs this with a scoop of collagen for extra protein. Liz opted for Doctor Seaweed’s Collagen+ on a recent trip for its added iodine, which supports metabolism.
Staying well hydrated
Hydration is another non-negotiable. Liz always travels with her Echo Hydrogen Water Bottle.
“Hydrogen water provides a ‘selective’ antioxidant,” she explains. “This can significantly support cellular health as we age.”

She also adds electrolytes to her water, particularly when flying, travelling somewhere warm, or exercising to help her stay hydrated and support energy levels.

Gentle rituals for mind and body
Mental wellbeing is key for Liz, too. Her gratitude journal goes everywhere with her.
“It’s such a simple health habit,” she says. “It really helps start and end the day with my brain in the right headspace.”
A multitasking skin balm is another staple, used for lips, nails and dry patches, especially when air conditioning or cold weather takes its toll. Liz loves this one from MV Skintherapy.
Protecting sleep and circadian rhythm
Artificial light is another subtle stressor when travelling, particularly in airports and hotels. Liz packs her blue-blocker glasses to wear in brightly lit spaces and in the evenings.
“They’re especially useful when I’m away from home and can’t control light levels,” she says. It’s a habit that supports better sleep and overall balance.
To add extra support for her sleep, Liz opts for a barley or chicory coffee substitute in the evenings to help her wind down without overstimulating the nervous system.
Packed with intention
Everything fits neatly into her embroidered bag from Forage Somerset. “I just love this,” she says, noting that it also supports embroidery workers in India.
