Tips for Staying Well from Our Everyday Heroes
Meet the knowledgeable team members from our Vitamin Department who are inspiring others to stay well and take care of themselves. Learn how they’ve adapted to their new routines and what vitamins and supplements they’re using to feel their best every day.
A: “I wake up at 3:30am and complete an at-home workout to start my day. I like to switch it up from meditation, yoga, running or HIIT training. After my workout, I head to work where I get to help and empower customers. I take a variety of vitamins and supplements to help boost my immune system. I’m taking Green Vibrance, probiotics, zinc, a multivitamin, vitamin D, curcumin, a vitamin B complex and MyCommunity Mushrooms along with vitamin C. I have amped up my vitamin C intake to about 2000mg and my vitamin D to 5000IU. In addition to these, the most important thing I can do is focus on my sleep—I aim for at least eight hours to feel my best.”
Q: How have you been taking care of yourself or others during this time?
A: “I’ve been able to continue my hobbies like hiking, biking, running, meditation and reading which has been helpful. Self-care is important to me, so I like to relax with my essential oil diffuser and my favorite scent is Medieval Mix from Aura Cacia. After my workouts, a nice magnesium bath and a Pacifica face mask helps me relax. While I’m at work I get to provide product knowledge to customers and my fellow co-workers. I recommend eating healthy, nutritious foods that are high in vitamin C, D, zinc, fiber and antioxidants. Please continue taking your multivitamins and supplements of choice every day! Lastly, do something that makes you happy! We can all use a daily activity that produces joy in a time like this.”
A: “I‘ve had to make a few adjustments to my daily routine since I cannot participate in team sports or go to the gym, so I’ve modified my exercise to include running outdoors and utilizing a doorframe pull-up bar to complete at-home workouts. Vitamins, supplements and nutrition play a big role in how I feel day-to-day, so I’ve been focusing on taking zinc, Vitamin D3, probiotics and omega-3s every day. After an intense run, I like to fuel my body with Sprouts Vanilla Whey Protein.”
Q: How have you been taking care of yourself or others during this time?
A: “I believe that exercise is the best form of self-therapy. From an improved mood, to a more restful sleep, it really helps me feel my best. Along with a good workout, I like to recover and take care of myself with an Epsom salt bath and a blend of massage oils mixed with essential oils. Optimal hydration and balanced nutrition are also a daily priority for me. This time has also been an opportunity to share knowledge with our teammates and customers around proper nutrition and supplements.”
A: “Every day I eat breakfast and take my vitamins, which includes a probiotic, multivitamin, adrenal support and an omega-3 supplement. I get a good at-home workout done at night. I’ve gotten creative with common items in my home as weights like water jugs, backpacks full of books and even using large bags of Sprouts Epsom Salt!”
Q: How have you been taking care of yourself or others during this time?
A: “I have added a few new supplements to my routine like Source Natural Wellness Formula. I love this product because it contains a good amount of vitamin D, which is an important supplement during a time when we’re staying indoors. I’ve also been reaching for Sprouts Oil of Oregano lately as it contains natural antifungal and antibacterial properties. Another essential that I’ve added to my morning routine is Sprouts Fizzy Vitamin C packets. These contain essential electrolytes and B-vitamins and give me energy throughout the day. I’ve also been focusing on self-care with some of my favorite beauty products like the Earth Kiss Mud Mask or using essential oils to keep the air in my home smelling fresh and relaxing.”
A: “I‘ve used this time to create a routine around reading, spending more time on the phone with friends and creating at-home workouts. Staying active is important for my overall wellness because it helps reduce stress and support the immune system. I’m fueling my body with fresh fruits and vegetables like blueberries, leafy greens and other foods that are high in vitamins C and A. I like to supplement my nutrition with Garden of Life‘s Whole Food multivitamin to help fill any nutritional gaps in my diet. Every meal is a fun challenge to be nutritionally strategic with ingredients.”
Q: How have you been taking care of yourself or others during this time?
A: “My roommate and I hold each other accountable to make sure we’re both taking our supplements and nutrition seriously while being considerate of each other’s sleep. We both take our vitamins and supplements daily to fill nutritional gaps with the addition of Silver Wing’s Colloidal silver. Colloidal silver is known to help boost the immune system and is an antibacterial. I’ve recently been taking care of myself by taking baths with Empower CBD Bath Salt or a Soul Spring Bath Bomb. As a licensed massage therapist, I love our line of Gaiam Yoga and massage tools. I use my foam roller and neck cradle every day.”
A: “I like to start my morning with two hot drinks—Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee and Vital Proteins Matcha Collagen Latte a few hours later. I take Carlson Vitamin D + K2, Wiley’s Fish Oil, New Chapter Complete Gut Health Probiotic & Terry Naturally Curcumin. I have also added Wellness Formula, Sprouts Organic Mushroom Immune Tincture, Nature’s Plus Ear, Nose & Throat K12 Probiotics & Emerald Labs PureWay C. Of course, this is in addition to eating lots of whole, unprocessed food, especially organic vegetables, fruits and herbs. I always drink kombucha and eat fermented vegetables like Wildbrine Kraut to keep my gut functioning well. I take probiotics daily and give them to my daughter as we know our immune system starts with good gut health and microbiome diversity.”
Q: How have you been taking care of yourself or others during this time?
A: “For self-care, my daughter and I have been having spa days with manicures and pedicures using the Mineral Fusion Nail Polish and Alba Coconut Hydrate Face Masks. I like to keep my activity up by taking walks outside, jumping rope, strength exercises with bands or dancing with my daughter! I’ve also been enjoying the extra time at home by taking a relaxing bath using Sprouts Sleep Epsom Salt and the CBD Serenity Soak. To help others around me, specifically my co-workers, I created a handout briefly explaining the wellness products that are provided in our breakroom and their benefits.”
A: “In the morning, while I’m getting ready for my day, I take some vitamin C and Silver Wings Colloidal silver with Olive Leaf to help boost my immune system. While at work, I like to keep lavender and peppermint essential oils on hand to help with any anxiety or headaches. I love utilizing fresh fruit, like a big juicy mango or whatever I’m craving, to help give me energy throughout the day.”
Q: How have you been taking care of yourself or others during this time?
A: “In my free time I enjoy knitting, reading and working out. My at-home workouts consist of HIIT (high-intensity interval training) and yoga. I like to cook at home so that I’m in control of what goes into my meals, but sometimes I’ll get one of the Butcher Shop One Pan Meals for a quick, easy dinner. I’ve also been enjoying my self-care routine at home which includes Sprouts Lavender Epsom salt baths with a face mask. While at work, I like to utilize the Sprouts Tart Orange Fizzy Vitamin C packets and make sure that I’m staying hydrated during a busy day with plenty of water.”

Self-care When Working from Home
Finding the balance between work and home can be a challenge but it’s not impossible. We’ve collected a couple self-care tips and tricks to help you while working from home!
Establish a Routine
Establishing a daily routine can help eliminate stress, promote good sleep and aid in creating healthy habits. We often get overwhelmed with everything happening in our day-to-day lives, but sticking to a routine can assist you in taking control and keeping your mind at ease. To best stick to your routine, try writing it down or keeping a journal to track your progress.Physical Activity
It is important to keep some physical activity in your daily routine. You don’t have to have an intense workout to get the benefits of activity. Consider a walk or run around your neighborhood, maybe your favorite yoga routine or cardio workout.Healthy Snack Habits
Food plays a huge role in how our bodies perform during the day. Consider changing your snack options to foods that will help positively fuel your body and increase your brain health.
