When Karlie Kloss first started modeling 18 years ago, she had a notably different approach to wellness than she has today. She recalls the chaos of working egregiously long hours on sets, often shuffling between campaign shoots and runways.
"I've been on planes every single week and since I was 15 years old, kind of lived this crazy, jet-setting model life," she says.
While the supermodel and entrepreneur has always "expected a lot" of her body, her latest ventures — and motherhood — have inspired Kloss to focus more on her self-care regimen. Gone are the days of the star's influence being confined to the glossy pages of Vogue; now, Kloss has emerged as a bonafide force in the business world, involved in an assortment of companies and partnerships that speak to her larger interests — and keep her busier than ever before.
In 2015, she founded Kode With Klossy, an initiative that's designed to get more girls into coding and tech. She also started the Gateway Coalition, which works to provide financial support to abortion clinics throughout the Midwest, and recently teamed up with Thorne for a new campaign, with the goal of highlighting how the brand's natural supplements are instrumental to her everyday wellness.
"I really try to take care of myself and rest and train and be as diligent with my nutrition as possible, but sometimes, something's gotta give — and that might be sleep or a proper meal," she says. "That's why I think Thorne's products really are just such a core part of my commitment to feeling good in my own skin."
In an exclusive interview, Kloss shared more about her new partnership with Thorne, favorite supplements from the brand, and all of the other products that help power her through her busy lifestyle. From a Headspace subscription to a percussive skin-care device, keep reading to shop her everyday essentials.

Karlie Kloss's Affordable Must Have
Whenever she needs a moment of respite, Kloss relies on her Headspace Subscription ($13) to give her brain a necessary break. "Even if I have five minutes to pop my headphones in and just close my eyes in a taxi cab on the way to the airport or on set before I have to jump into a long [work] day, whatever it is, it's really worthwhile," she says.
Pro Tip: The platform offers a variety of wellness-focused options including guided meditations, brain exercises, and even sleepcasts, all of which are designed to improve brain health and help promote relaxation within your daily schedule.

Karlie Kloss's Investment Must Have
Motherhood has arguably had the greatest impact on Kloss's wellness routine. "Now with two kids, I feel like I need to be even more efficient and effective with the time that I set out to exercise or the ingredients that I'm putting in my body," she explains. After struggling with postpartum brain fog, Kloss now swears by this Thorne Memoractiv Supplement ($66) for improving cognitive function.
Pro Tip: This sleep supplement features a blend of ashwagandha and ginkgo. For best results, take two capsules daily ahead of your normal bedtime.

Karlie Kloss's Morning-Routine Must Have
Kloss's job might take her all over the world, but with a Vimeo Subscription ($20), she's still able to enjoy her favorite workouts each morning — courtesy of her personal trainer, Madison Rose, who has tons of curated workout videos that are available to stream online. "My trainer, who I adore, has a Vimeo account," she says. "It's a subscription and she has really great workouts focused on arms or core or glutes, whatever it is. That is my go-to no matter where I am."
Pro Tip: Beyond squeezing in a workout each day, Kloss's perfect morning routine also entails morning cuddles with her family and a chocolate protein shake, either pre- or post-workout. "I definitely am still in a phase of life where I feel like I'm traveling quite a bit and also have a young family. So, whenever I'm home, I really love spending quality time with my little ones," she says.

For optimal rest, Kloss loves incorporating this Thorne Magnesium Bisglycinate ($48) supplement into her nighttime routine.

Karlie Kloss's Travel Must Have
Travel can take a toll on your skin, which is precisely why Kloss keeps this TheraFace Pro Percussive Skin Care Device ($399) handy whenever she's jetting off to a new destination — whether it be for work or play. "It's made by the same company that does the TheraBody massagers, but they make a TheraFace one that's good for lymphatic drainage."
Pro Tip: The device is designed to reduce wrinkles and improve circulation within the face and neck, while also doubling as a percussive tool that massages muscles and relieves any lingering tension.
