The ex-player turned health drinks guru tackles life with meditation, movement, magnesium and plenty of healing sleep

England rugby star Jonny Wilkinson

I wake up at 6.30am every day. I'll set an alarm but I rarely need it — I usually wake just before. I stay in bed for a few minutes to breathe, find calm and clarity and set my intention. I'm conscious that I don’t want to waste energy reacting or being absent from the day. That quiet space helps me connect with how I want to show up.

I also do a walking meditation — usually in the nearby forest or somewhere peaceful. When I get back, I'll recover with a One Living Brain Shot and a protein shake, then shower and make a big fruit, nut, seed and protein smoothie. Then I'll stretch gently, hydrate and do a cardio or resistance session in my garage. I often pair that with a One Living Immunity or Gut Health Shot to help manage stress.

Lunch is usually a handful of nuts and maybe an Energy Shot. I tend to eat an early dinner — fish or chicken with a huge variety of vegetables, especially green leafy ones. I’m always mindful of how I eat — staying present and grateful with my food helps me feel more connected to it.
