Navigating My 30s: CEO Shares Daily Wellness Rituals to Thrive After 35

Wildling,

I’ve been doing some math lately, and by the time you read this, I’ll be 40 years old. Yep—2025 minus 1985 equals 40, and the numbers don’t lie.

Hitting 40 feels like a milestone, and it’s got me reflecting on the massive life adjustments I went through starting around age 35. Maybe you’ve felt it too? That shift where your body and energy don’t quite behave the way they used to.

For me, the signs of aging showed up with a few unwelcome guests: back pain that just wouldn’t quit, a metabolism that seemed to slow down overnight, and energy dips that made me question how I was supposed to keep up with life’s demands.

It was a real gut check — one I didn’t expect to face so soon. I’ve always cared about my health because, honestly, I love life too much not to. But here’s the thing: before my thirties, I never really needed to care. I could eat whatever I wanted, stay up late, and still bounce back without missing a beat.

That resilience faded, and I had to learn how to take better care of myself. The past few years have been about trial, error, and consistency — trying new routines, adjusting habits, and sometimes stumbling, but always moving forward.

I want to share a few of the daily practices I rely on to keep my health in check and my energy up:

• Red Light Therapy: Supporting my recovery and cellular health.
• Daily Barefoot Walks: Reconnecting with nature and grounding my energy.
• Wild Multi + Creatine: Those B vitamins and creatine pack a punch for mental clarity and strength.
• Protein-Rich Shakes: Raw milk, collagen, colostrum, and raw eggs help me hit my protein goals.
• Strength Workouts: Squats and deadlifts once a week keep me strong.
• Consistent Movement: Whether it’s hitting the gym or walking on the beach, staying active is key.
• Sunlight Exposure: Soaking up natural light daily keeps my mood and Vitamin D levels balanced.
• Acupuncture: I just started, and it’s a welcome addition.
• Wild Magnesium: Magnesium support for better sleep and calm.
• Early Bedtime: I used to be a night owl, but sleeping before midnight makes a huge difference.
• Morning Electrolytes + Honey: Hydrating with electrolytes and a tablespoon of honey to start my day energized.
• Blue Light Management: Red light filters on devices and blue light blockers in the evening protect my sleep cycle.
• Evening Fiction Reading: My Kindle helps me unwind and relax before bed.
• Daily Mobility & Stretching: Egoscue routines keep me flexible and help prevent pain.

This list might seem long, but it’s become my daily toolkit — a combination of habits I work hard to maintain.

Here’s to thriving — wildlings growing stronger, wiser, and healthier every day.

Stay wild, stay well.
