What is the most important part of your daily routine?

The most important part of my routine is making sure I have some time to unwind and get to bed on time each day for quality sleep.

What is your #1 wellness habit?

I don’t use my phone for 30 minutes after I wake up, an hour before bed, or when I’m with friends and family so that I have time to be fully present and relaxed.

If you could give one piece of health advice to your kid(s), future kid(s) or relative(s), what would it be and why?

I would remind them that one of the strongest predictors of a long, healthy, and fulfilling life is community – having people you feel safe, seen, and connected to – so prioritize it early and often. Close behind that is sleep – no routine, diet, or productivity hack can replace consistent rest when it comes to long-term wellbeing.
