Supergut is a supplement company focused on gut health and metabolic wellness. Our hero ingredient, green banana fiber, supports the gut microbiome. With growing awareness around GLP-1s and gut health<\/a>, we’re aiming to transform the supplement aisle.<\/p>\n As CEO, my job is to bridge science with lifestyle, making our products clinically validated but also approachable and inspiring. It means leading with creativity, accountability, and a vision for growth.<\/p>\n The only way I can deliver on that is by living in a way that keeps me focused and balanced, but I get bored easily and thrive in a little bit of chaos. Variety, creative outlets, and a mix of 25 different supplements help fuel my routine.<\/p>\n Here’s what a typical day looks like for me.<\/p>\n 5:30 a.m.: Rise early and start with gentle movement<\/p>\n I naturally wake up with the sun around 5:30 a.m. I\u2019ll usually check my phone quickly \u2014 just to make sure nothing urgent has come in \u2014 and then I set it aside.<\/p>\n Then, movement comes first: I keep a Stakt foldable yoga mat in my bedroom and spend about 10 minutes stretching. At this stage in life, my goal isn\u2019t intensity \u2014 it\u2019s avoiding cortisol spikes and keeping my hormones balanced.<\/p>\n 6 a.m.: Functional fuel and a walk<\/strong><\/p>\n After stretching, I head downstairs to make my \u201cfunctional hydration<\/a>\u201d drink to help me feel energized and set my pH for the day. The base is water, but I mix in staples like creatine, trace minerals, and electrolytes. Sometimes I\u2019ll add apple cider vinegar or lemon for variety.<\/p>\n Related stories<\/p>\n Business Insider tells the innovative stories you want to know<\/p>\n Business Insider tells the innovative stories you want to know<\/p>\n Throughout the day, I take about 25 different tinctures and capsules<\/a>, including magnesium and Vitamin D, to make sure I’m getting the nutrients I need.<\/p>\n After my morning hydration, I take my dogs outside to walk among the oak trees on my property or play in the pool. Nature is my creativity fuel \u2014 some of my best business problem-solving happens while walking in the woods with a weighted vest.<\/p>\n Tracey has two dogs (pictured) who she says are “a huge part” of her life.<\/p>\n Tracey Halama<\/p>\n Around 8 a.m., I settle into an hour of deep work before breakfast \u2014 usually emails or writing \u2014 while the West Coast-based Supergut team is still asleep.<\/p>\n 9 a.m.: Breakfast, coffee, and a workout<\/strong><\/p>\n I believe in starting the day with protein and fiber, but I like to mix it up: cottage cheese<\/a> with berries and chia seeds, yogurt with Supergut\u2019s prebiotic blends, or scrambled eggs wrapped in Egglife wraps.<\/p>\n My coffee ritual is non-negotiable. I use a half-caf Nespresso pod, add collagen peptides, Supergut fiber, coconut milk<\/a>, and cinnamon.<\/p>\n I\u2019m constantly looking for ways to stack habits to optimize my time. For example, I blow-dry my hair while standing on a vibration board, and I\u2019ve recently added red light glasses<\/a> for under-eye care, which I wear while drinking my coffee or in the evening while I relax.<\/p>\n Tracey Halama, CEO of Supergut, wearing red light glasses and drinking her functional coffee.<\/p>\n Tracey Halama<\/p>\n After breakfast, I\u2019ll either head to a yoga class or dive directly into meetings. Yoga is my preferred in-person workout, and I have a Peloton and weights at home for strength training.<\/p>\n 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.: Back-to-back meetings<\/p>\n This is where the chaos comes in.<\/p>\n A CEO’s life means constant problem-solving and moving the ball forward daily, even if just by small increments.<\/p>\n I keep myself and the team accountable by writing a to-do list in a paper notebook each morning. Asana keeps our companywide projects organized, but I\u2019m old-school when it comes to my personal goals<\/a>.<\/p>\n Lunch is often at my desk between meetings, but I aim to eat five small meals throughout the day to avoid blood sugar crashes. If I\u2019m traveling, I keep Supergut bars or Chomps meat sticks<\/a> on hand for better-for-you options.<\/p>\n After 6 p.m.: Cooking and family time<\/p>\n Until recently, my younger daughter and I would tag-team dinners using ingredients from our garden \u2014 herbs, zucchini, even stuffed squash blossoms. Now that she\u2019s off to college, I\u2019m navigating this new empty-nest chapter, but food and color still inspire me in the kitchen.<\/p>\n Tracey Halama<\/p>\n My evenings are reserved for connection and winding down. I talk daily with both of my daughters \u2014 one in college, one working in New York \u2014 usually over dinner. I don\u2019t track calories or macros religiously, but I aim for balance and variety, guided by seasonal produce and gut health<\/a> principles.<\/p>\n After dinner, I take the dogs for a short walk to aid digestion.<\/p>\n Before bed: Red light therapy and continuous learning<\/p>\n One of my biggest investments when I designed my house was building a halotherapy salt room. It\u2019s where I often end my evenings, combining salt therapy<\/a> with red light for deep relaxation and better sleep.<\/p>\n I\u2019m a lifelong learner, so I often unwind at this point with a book, a podcast \u2014\u00a0like “Good Hang” with Amy Poehler \u2014\u00a0or even The New York Times’ Spelling Bee game. For personal topics, I like to learn about attachment theory, but I also like to listen to experts on health and wellness and AI to maintain an edge in business.<\/p>\n 10 p.m.: Bedtime<\/p>\n By 10 p.m., I\u2019m in bed, reflecting on the day.<\/p>\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/placeholder.png\")
