Wellness Habits I Live By

Wellness isn’t about perfection—it’s about the small, daily habits that help us feel our best from the inside out. Over the years, I’ve found a handful of simple yet powerful practices that truly make a difference in my energy, mood, and overall well-being. Today, I’m sharing some of my favorite wellness habits—some might be new to you, and some you may already be doing! Try incorporating a few into your routine and see how you feel.

1. No Phone in the Bedroom

Keeping my phone outside the bedroom at night has been a game-changer for my sleep and mental clarity. No more late-night scrolling or blue light disrupting my melatonin production. Instead, I fall asleep faster, sleep deeper, and wake up feeling more refreshed. Plus, starting the day without immediately checking notifications has helped me feel more present with my family and intentional in my mornings.

2. Hydrogen-Rich Water

Hydration is essential, but not all water is created equal. My Dyln Bottle transforms regular water into hydrogen-rich water, which provides powerful antioxidant benefits, supports cellular health, and helps combat oxidative stress. Staying hydrated at a deeper level means better energy, glowing skin, and improved recovery from workouts.

3. Daily Walks

Walking is one of the most underrated forms of movement. Whether it’s a morning stroll, a walk after meals to support digestion, or getting outside for fresh air and vitamin D, daily walks boost my mood, improve circulation, and keep my body moving in a gentle but effective way. As a complement to my workouts, I aim for 10K steps a day to keep my body moving and boost overall endurance. I track my progress with my Garmin watch, which keeps me motivated and accountable!

4. Tallow Skincare + Facial Massage

Tallow is a deeply nourishing, ancestral skincare ingredient, and since including it in my routine, I’ve seen amazing changes—super hydrated, smooth skin, and aging is no longer a concern! Packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K, it provides intense hydration and I pair it with facial massage to boost circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and keep my skin naturally glowing. My favorite brands are Herbal Face Food and Primally Pure.

5. Cold Plunge Therapy

Few things make me feel as alive as cold plunging! Since getting my Denali from Redwood, I’ve made it a habit to expose my body to cold water and have noticed incredible benefits—increased circulation, reduced inflammation, and a major endorphin boost that improves my mood and resilience. It’s an incredible practice for recovery, energy, and overall vitality.

6. Mold-Free Organic Coffee

Coffee is a sacred part of my morning ritual, and after launching Lunova Coffee, I’m so happy I get to share the amazing benefits of mold-free, organic coffee with the world. We need to pay attention to what we put into our bodies daily, avoiding toxins that can cause fatigue and inflammation. Clean, high-quality coffee provides a natural energy boost without the crash, plus it’s packed with antioxidants.

7. Weight Training

Lifting weights isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about strength, confidence, and longevity. Weight training supports bone density, boosts metabolism, and increases endorphins, leaving me feeling my absolute best. I couldn’t do it without my PRX rack, which we set up in our home gym!

8. Tongue Scraping + Plastic-Free Floss

Oral health is a window into overall health, yet we often don’t give it the same attention as other wellness practices. But it’s so important. I start each morning with tongue scraping to remove toxins and improve digestion, followed by using plastic-free floss for a cleaner, more sustainable oral care routine.

9. Reading Before Bed + Red Light Bulbs

Instead of scrolling at night, I wind down with a good book under red light bulbs, which don’t interfere with melatonin like regular lights do. This simple switch has improved my sleep quality, gives me me-time with things I love, and makes my nighttime routine more relaxing.

10. Magnesium + Glycine for Deep Sleep

Magnesium helps relax muscles and calm the nervous system, while glycine supports deep, restorative sleep. This duo has been key in helping me wake up feeling truly refreshed!

11. Rosemary Oil Scalp Massage

A simple yet effective haircare ritual—massaging rosemary oil into my scalp stimulates hair growth, improves circulation, and keeps my scalp healthy. Plus, it’s such a calming self-care moment at the end of the day. You can find my full hair care routine here.

12. Prioritizing Protein & Fiber

Since prioritizing protein and fiber, I’ve noticed stable energy, better digestion, and fewer cravings. High-quality protein supports muscle health, while fiber keeps my gut nourished and balanced.

13. Strategic Supplementation

While I focus on getting nutrients from whole foods, supplements fill in the gaps based on my lifestyle and needs. Check out my supplement rotation here!

14. Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy is amazing for skin health, recovery, and cellular energy. I use it to reduce inflammation, boost collagen production, and support overall well-being. There are so many ways to incorporate it—whether it’s a mask, or a mat, our family never skips our red light time because we’ve seen how much it has improved our well-being.

These wellness habits make my life a little better every day—it’s all about finding what works for you and staying consistent. They help me feel strong, energized, and at peace, allowing me to show up as the best version of myself—as a mom, a wife, and a person. Prioritizing your health isn’t selfish; when you feel your best, you can give your best to others.
