Men's Fitness just covered how your HSA and FSA money can cover way more than you think, and Truemed is at the center of it

"Most people are operating under the assumption that HSAs are only for doctor's appointments or pharmaceuticals. In reality, a meaningful share of it can legally be spent on things like a gym membership, a sauna, or recovery tech most people assume is out of bounds." โ€” Justin Mares, Founder & CEO, Truemed

Roughly $4 billion in FSA funds gets forfeited every single year, money employees already set aside tax-free that simply disappears because it went unused.

Men's Fitness sat down with our Founder and CEO Justin Mares to break down what HSA and FSA dollars can actually cover, and why most people are sitting on the tool without realizing what it's actually built to do.

Here's what the article covers:
๐Ÿ’ค Where to start if you have $1,500 in unused HSA funds. Justin didn't hesitate; "Spending on sleep is the highest leverage thing. So much stems from how well we're sleeping." He pointed to Eight Sleep specifically as one of the two strongest starting points.

๐Ÿ’Š His second recommendation: Momentous magnesium supplements; founded by former NFL player Jeff Byers, built around clinically supported, NSF Certified for Sport products, with research behind it for sleep quality and stress regulation.

โš ๏ธ The mistake that actually costs people money. "Because a product says it's HSA/FSA eligible, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is." Someone can make a purchase, submit it for reimbursement, and have it rejected outright if the proper Letter of Medical Necessity wasn't secured first.

HSA and FSA accounts are one of the only places in the entire healthcare system explicitly designed to reward prevention instead of just covering treatment after something's already gone wrong.
