Brooke Burke recently shared her unique three-hour morning routine, describing it as “strange” yet rewarding. In an interview, she discussed her approach to health and beauty, highlighting a popular detox method using castor oil. Burke explained that it’s more about connecting with one’s body and the warmth it brings rather than the oil itself. She remarked, somewhat playfully, how odd it is that so many people are fascinated by it.
After removing the oil patch in the morning, she gives herself a lymphatic drainage massage, which she finds beneficial for her skin and detoxification. Burke, who is managing three autoimmune diseases, expressed that while her physical condition may appear fit, she often feels fragile.
Another aspect of her routine is a longevity smoothie, packed with ingredients like maca, matcha, and pea protein. Burke mentioned that many are curious about the term “longevity,” which she believes needs some rebranding. She emphasizes the smoothie’s role in enhancing recovery and endurance, adapting it to her daily needs.
Burke pointed out the challenges women face regarding protein intake, particularly as they age. She aims to improve her protein consumption because maintaining muscle becomes more difficult over time. Interestingly, she also incorporates a cold face plunge in her routine by submerging her face in a bowl of ice water, which she feels invigorates her skin.
Despite some mixed reactions to her morning practices on social media, Burke believes in the value of self-care. Some users praised her for being open about her routine, while others were skeptical, questioning its practicality for busy individuals. Yet Burke remains optimistic and encourages those with doubts to find ways to prioritize themselves.
In her closing thoughts, Burke acknowledged that change requires effort and time but insists everyone is worth it. She advocates for waking up earlier to carve out personal time, even suggesting meditation as a simple, attainable goal.
To complement her fitness goals, Burke shared her “Walking and Talk” strategy, which involves getting exercise while catching up on calls. She aims for 10,000 steps a day, viewing those steps as a natural part of maintaining her health without it feeling like a traditional workout. For those pressed for time, Burke emphasizes the importance of prioritizing self-care and sleep alongside regular walks.
