Brooke Burke Dishes About Tru Niagen Turning 50 – It’s actually a perfect segue as well because I wanted to ask you about Brooke Burke Body.

[Picks up wine glass] I’m not drinking wine, by the way. I put my shake in a wine glass so I can feel more elegant because I’m trying not to drink this month and it’s not easy, so now, I put my shake in my wine glass.

Brooke Burke Dishes About Tru Niagen Turning 50, DWTS, And More – Exclusive Interview

I love it. I did a dry January of sorts and it was great but –

Hard.

My vice is coffee. I’m on a half-caff right now because it’s 2:30.

Half caff, I haven’t tried that — wait, half-caff? We need energy. I’m not afraid of coffee, but half-caff…

I’m trying to do a half-caff in the afternoon, because someone said to me, “Well, you should switch to tea in the afternoon.” Not my scene. No. Nespresso has half-caffeinated coffee pods and so far, I’m liking it. 

I have not seen that. That is actually really cool. I wrote that down, half-caff. It is a habit. So much of what we do in life is a habit anyway.

It’s so habitual. I’ve been trying to be more mindful about self-care and wellness. To your point, habits are so powerful. It takes about, what do they say, 20 days to a month to really establish a new habit? I feel like that’s such a powerful thing. If you can get through the first month, then you can integrate some amazing things into your life.

I’m so glad you said that because it’s true, and it gets easier and the first week is really challenging. We’ve got 28-day programs and certain challenges that are spelled out so you don’t have to think. The more you do it, the more you want it. Once you get through that burn zone, you do a lot of stretch and recovery on off-days to help you manage the challenge of wellness so that you can crush it and feel that sense of accomplishment.

For sure. Something to tick off the to-do list for the day. It holds more power than I think we give a credit for.

I’m with you.

We’ve touched on the programs and structure, but what’s it like running the show? You’re the CEO. Is that an accomplishment you ever could have predicted for yourself?

I studied business advertising in school. I always wanted to be a businesswoman and then I fell into the entertainment business, so I love that. Let me tell you, what’s weird, since you’re asking, it’s hard to the CEO and then be the talent and then deal with editing. I’m so sick of seeing myself because I’m choreographing in my mind and I’m shooting it, but then I’m editing. I say to my team and they laugh at me. I’m like, “I’m so sick of myself,” because it’s weird to me.

Like when you hear yourself speak. When I hear myself speak on interviews –

You know what I’m talking about, but it’s so important to me and I’m choreographing and building it for the community. It’s hard to be the CEO and talent and it’s hard to be my own boss. It’s a new thing for me as well, managing and leading other people. We’re really growing this business for the better good of women. I’m super passionate about that, and this is a space for women, for moms, for different fitness levels, ages, for every body, shape and size.

We do it with a lot of encouragement and compassion, and it’s amazing right now in the digital space, because we’re on smart TVs. It’s not just about tablets anymore. I can come over to your living room, you turn it on, get yourself a yoga mat. I don’t care if you’re in an apartment or a hotel room or you take it outside. I know we’re doing something good and that drives it.
