magnesium – Raising Clean

I used to think I was the only one in our house who needed a solid wellness routine to feel like myself, but the truth is, stress doesn’t discriminate. My husband, like so many men, carries a lot on his shoulders. Between work, parenting, and everything in between, I started noticing signs that his stress and sleep needed just as much attention as mine.

So we decided to be intentional about giving him tools that actually support his well-being and do it in a clean, non-toxic way.

Here’s what that looks like in our home:

🌿 CBD to the Rescue

My husband was hesitant at first, but now he’s the one reminding me when we’re low on his jellies. CBD has become his go-to for stress and helping his mind shift out of “fight or flight” mode.

😌 Unwind Jellies for Evenings

Some nights are harder than others, and when his brain just won’t shut off, he’ll take an Unwind Jelly. These are formulated with natural calming botanicals and cannabinoids that help relax both mind and body.

They’re clean, they’re effective, and he doesn’t wake up groggy… just rested.

💤 Sleep Hygiene That Works

We’ve also made some simple changes to his evening routine that make a huge difference:

Magnesium supplements after dinner to relax muscles and support deep sleep.
Blue light blockers in the evening to help his body produce melatonin naturally.
No caffeine – he switched to decaf coffee and it has been a game changer for him.
A cool, dark bedroom and a sound machine or fan to help his body settle into true rest.

💧 Hydration + Functional Support

Stress affects hydration and energy levels, so we’re intentional about getting in electrolytes during the day (without the junk ingredients). He also adds a scoop of clean collagen to his morning smoothies for joint, gut, and skin support, because men deserve that glow too 😉

Why It Matters

Supporting stress and sleep isn’t just a “women’s wellness” thing. Men need it too. And it’s powerful to see the difference when they have access to tools that actually work.

Clean, natural, non-toxic options aren’t just for me, they’re for him too. And I love that our wellness routines don’t have to look the same, but they can still align in the values we share: safe, effective, and intentional care.

If your partner is navigating stress or struggling to sleep well, consider introducing one or two of these clean swaps. You might be surprised how quickly they notice a difference… mine sure did.

Because we deserve to feel peace, not pressure, at the end of the day.

There was a time when my nights looked a lot like this:
I’d finally collapse into bed, physically drained, but somehow, my brain would go into overdrive. I’d be running through my to-do list, rethinking things I said (or didn’t say), and mentally prepping for tomorrow before today had even ended.

Even though I was exhausted, true rest felt impossible.

Sound familiar?

Whether you’re a mom, a multitasker, or just someone trying to keep up with life, you know that the way we end our day matters. And over time, I realized that I couldn’t keep hoping for rest. I had to create it.

That’s when I started building a nighttime routine with natural tools that truly support my body and mind. These aren’t complicated or expensive. They’re small, intentional habits that help signal to my nervous system: “You’re safe. You can slow down now.”

So if you’re looking to feel more peace and less panic in the evenings, here are my tried-and-true tools:

🌿 1. Hemp (not pot) to Calm the Chaos

This one is non-negotiable for me now. A clean, full-spectrum CBD, THC, or CBG jelly in the evening has been a game-changer for my nervous system. It helps reduce that mental spiral so I can actually feel present and peaceful, whether I’m having quiet time alone or unwinding with my partner.

There are so many options out there, but not all CBD is created equal. I only use Green Compass because I trust their sourcing, their transparency, and the way their products actually work.

🧘🏼‍♀️ 2. Gentle Movement or Breathwork

If I’ve had a high-stress day (and let’s be real, most days qualify), I take five minutes to stretch on the floor or do some box breathing. Sometimes I just lie with my legs up the wall and breathe deeply. It’s simple, but it signals to my body: “You’re not in fight or flight anymore.”

You don’t have to be a yogi to do this. Just dim the lights, roll out a mat or towel, and move in a way that feels good.

📱 3. No Screens After 9 PM

This one’s tough, especially when the kids are finally asleep and you just want to scroll. But I’ve noticed a huge difference in my ability to fall asleep when I cut off blue light exposure and social media noise at least an hour before bed.

Instead, I try to do something that helps my brain unplug rather than rev up again.

🍵 4. Magnesium-Rich Tea or Mocktail

I love making a cozy magnesium mocktail or sipping herbal tea with ingredients like chamomile, passionflower, or lemon balm. Not only is it soothing, but magnesium helps relax your muscles and regulate the stress hormone cortisol.

It’s like a warm, gentle “exhale” in a cup.

📖 5. A Few Pages of a Book

Reading (something light or inspiring!) helps me shift out of the busy world in my brain and into a slower rhythm. Just a few pages can create the perfect transition between wakefulness and rest. Bonus: It makes my dreams way more interesting than if I had just scrolled reels before bed 😆

I’m not saying every night is perfect. Some nights still involve toddler wakeups, late-night dishes, or staying up too late talking with my husband. But having this toolbox has absolutely changed the way I experience my evenings.

I don’t just collapse into bed anymore… I wind down intentionally.
And I fall asleep with more peace, fewer spirals, and a body that knows it’s safe to rest.

If you’re stuck in the cycle of going to bed exhausted but wired, try adding just one of these tools into your routine tonight. Then build from there.

You deserve a nighttime routine that supports you.

Tell me – what helps you wind down naturally? I’d love to add your ideas to my list!
