Brooke Burke Interview on Wellness and Tru Niagen

In this 2023 interview, Brooke Burke talked with Famadillo about her wellness routine, Tru Niagen, biohacking, fitness, journaling and staying active while traveling. Burke was speaking from her own experience and from her relationship with the supplement brand; those personal observations should not be read as proof that a supplement produces the same results for everyone.

Why Tru Niagen Was Part of Brooke Burke’s Routine

Burke said Tru Niagen had become a regular part of her wellness and fitness routine. The supplement contains nicotinamide riboside, or NR, a precursor the body can use to make NAD+.

She described the product as part of her approach to cellular health, recovery and healthy aging. Those were Burke’s views in the 2023 interview, not independent proof of a particular anti-aging result.

Current human research supports that NR supplementation can increase NAD-related biomarkers. However, reviews of clinical trials have found that broader effects on physical function, metabolism and other healthspan outcomes are mixed or uncertain. Anyone considering a supplement should discuss it with a qualified healthcare professional, especially if they take medications or have a medical condition.

How Burke Thought About Biohacking

Burke used “biohacking” as a broad term for habits and tools she felt helped her function and recover well. Her routine included attention to sleep, red-light therapy, infrared sauna, BEMER sessions and ice baths.

She emphasized that her approach started with what she put into her body and with paying attention to rest and recovery. The devices and practices she mentioned have different levels of evidence behind them, so they should not be treated as interchangeable medical therapies.

The 21-Day Fitness Challenge

Burke also discussed the 21-Day Fitness Challenge created through Brooke Burke Body. She described the program as a way to build commitment, connection and community around movement and wellness.

The “21-day” structure was the framework of the program rather than a guaranteed scientific deadline for creating a habit or changing a body. Burke’s larger point was consistency: giving people a defined period in which to follow workouts and pay closer attention to their routine.

Ketone Shots and Energy

Burke said ketone shots were another tool she had experimented with for post-workout energy and mental clarity. That was her personal use case. Claims about exogenous ketones and cognitive or performance benefits depend on the product, dose and person, so they should not be treated as guaranteed outcomes.

Why Journaling Mattered to Her

Journaling was one of the least complicated parts of Burke’s routine. She said daily writing helped her take stock of her life, look inward and stay connected with herself.

For people who could not write every day, she suggested occasionally writing a “Dear Self” letter as a way to reflect on the past and think about what comes next.

Staying Active While Traveling

Burke said she often traveled with a yoga mat so she could stretch, do simple poses or follow a digital workout wherever she happened to be.

Her practical advice was to download workouts before traveling somewhere with unreliable Wi-Fi. It is not glamorous biohacking, but remembering the video before you lose cell service is probably more useful than half the gadgets in a wellness drawer.

The common thread in Burke’s 2023 answers was intentionality. Supplements and wellness tools were part of her personal routine, but movement, rest, journaling and consistency were just as central to the way she described taking care of herself.
