Key Wellness & Longevity Strategies (From Julie Clark’s Routine)

Longevity mindset & stress management

  • “Don’t wait for tech”: focus on fundamentals (sleep, diet, movement) rather than expensive biohacking devices.
  • Reduce day-to-day stressors; she credits stress from perfectionism as a major aging accelerant.
  • Use rest/recovery intentionally:
    • Sunday = full rest day (not just light activity; she may not leave the house).

Sleep & recovery

  • Prioritize sleep seriously, even without fancy equipment.
  • Consistent wind-down/reading routine:
    • Reads the Bible in the morning in her (non-luxury) room environment to promote relaxation/awe.
  • Breathing support:
    • Mouth taping to encourage nose breathing during sleep.
  • Sleep tracking:
    • She doesn’t currently track sleep (couldn’t afford a wearable), but plans to test with an UltraHuman device.

Simple morning routine (less-is-more)

  • Wake around 4:10am (similar to “The Rock”).
  • Make the bed (except on weekends as a “down day” signal to her mind).
  • Green tea.
  • Keep the rest of the morning minimal: gym bag → go to the gym.

Nutrition approach (real food + consistency + enjoyment)

  • Daily “real food” greens drink / latte (greens + lemon; sometimes includes fermented beets; collagen used).
  • Fermented greens / bone broth as staples:
    • Fermented beets described as a detox tool.
    • Bone broth flavored with apples, cinnamon, oranges; used especially on weekends.
  • “No arguments, just real food”:
    • Doesn’t follow extreme rules (e.g., raw-only or veg-only); emphasizes eating what works and is enjoyable.
  • Food enjoyment supports adherence:
    • “You have to enjoy your food.”
  • Portion/protein/vegetable targets (but not strict calorie counting):
    • Tracks only:
      • ~1 pound of vegetables/day (about half greens)
      • ~100g protein
    • Doesn’t weigh everything else.
  • Vegetable-first habit:
    • 10 minutes a day walking and eat vegetables are framed as immediate longevity actions.
  • Mindful “bad-food” reset at year-end:
    • Last two weeks of the year: eat whatever she wants intentionally.
    • She tends to feel gross after ~10 days and returns to healthy eating.

Supplements (core basics)

She highlights a small “most important” set:

  • Fish oil
  • Magnesium (described as magnesium deficient)
  • A multivitamin or B-complex

Additional mentions:

  • Vitamin D3 + K2 drops
  • Probiotic (she’s testing a specific one)

Exercise programming (strength + cardio + VO2 max)

  • Walk to build steps as a non-negotiable.
  • Weight training 4x/week
    • Example mentioned: Romanian split squats/deadlifts style; 5 sets of 8 referenced.
  • VO2 max interval work (Norwegian 4x4):
    • 3 minutes slow
    • 4 minutes as fast as you can (repeat structure discussed; held rails allowed)
    • Presented as improving overall health/healthspan.
  • Cardio + weights pairing with recovery:
    • After workouts: 20–30 minute sauna
    • Then 4–5 minute cold shower

Thermotherapy & “mood/immune” effects

  • Sauna (20–30 minutes) for healthspan support.
  • Cold shower (4–5 minutes):
    • Cited as immune support and a natural anti-depressant
    • Compared to a “cocaine high” feeling (temporary mood/energy boost)

Diet details supporting longevity (thyroid/greens handling)

  • Why she cooks some greens:
    • Mentions goitrogens in greens that can reduce iodine absorption in the thyroid; cooking reduces goitrogens.

Dietary choices & “honoring the animal”

  • Tip-to-tail animal use framed as ethics + nutrition alignment:
    • Organ meats described as beneficial (e.g., liver/heart/cheeks/other parts mentioned).
  • She prefers meat from farmers who raise animals humanely and receives weekly farm updates.

Actionable “Start Today” Checklist (Pulled From What She Recommends)

  • 10 minutes/day walking
  • Eat vegetables
  • Eat “tip-to-tail” (honor the animal; include more than just steak—such as organs—assuming you’re comfortable with it)
