1. She Takes Supplements
Kardashian shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. She says that she takes a lot of supplements and gummies. Kardashian even has her own gummy line called Lemme. “I take a lot of gummies. I keep a little glass jar next to my bed filled with them. When I was taking 30 supplements a day—they weren’t gummies—it wasn’t an enjoyable thing. I’m like, ‘I cannot wait to take my gummies—can I take more?’ I usually take them after I eat something. I like knowing that I’m taking something that’s clean, [has] good-for-me ingredients and has a purpose.”

Kardashian lives a healthy lifestyle. She tells The Wall Street Journal that she developed this lifestyle as a child. “There was one health food store in L.A.” Kardashian recalls. “It was called Mrs. Gooch’s, and when I would go to [friends’] houses that had Mrs. Gooch’s snacks I would get excited because they tasted so different from the snacks I had at my house. But I think I was always conscious in high school, and I always worked out. My mom and Caitlyn would do these infomercials that sold fitness equipment. Kim and I would do Tae Bo and workout classes. That stuck with me when I went off to college.”

Kardashian likes to go on cleanses. She shared her favorite in her Wall Street Journal interview. “Probably this Ayurvedic Panchakarma cleanse, which I’m going to do in the fall again. You may have seen it on our show. It’s all these things you can’t do: No sex, no caffeine, no alcohol, no sugar. You’ve gotta eat this really clean, strict diet and you do it for five days.”
4. She Believes In Moderation

Kardashian tells The Wall Street Journal that she believes in moderation when it comes to food. “When you can’t have something and then you have it, right,” she explains. “It’s like I can’t wait for all the obvious things, but then I also like the simplest things like I can’t wait to have caffeine. It’s definitely about moderation and being kind to yourself…. If I’m going to Cabo, I’m definitely drinking margaritas and having chips and guacamole. It’s all about the balance.”
5. She Works Out On A Regular Basis

Kardashian tells E! News that she makes sure to workout on a regular basis, no matter what her schedule is. "I think I take time for myself to work out every day,” she says. “Which I never did—especially having three young kids. I just never made it a priority, and now it makes me feel so much better—mentally and physically."
