The older I get, the more interested I become in healthy aging. I’m not looking for some magical fountain of youth or expecting to wake up looking 25 again. I simply want to feel healthy, energetic and confident as I get older—and take care of my body from the inside out.
Of course, I also plan to look as youthful and beautiful as I can for as long as I can, because that’s important to me, too! Along with eating well, exercising and trying to get enough sleep, I buy skincare with age-defying ingredients and choose makeup that works well for my changing skin.
But I’ve also learned that what I put into my body can be just as important as what I put on it. That’s why the right supplements have become another important part of my beauty and wellness routine. I look for products that combine science-backed ingredients with some of the promising advances being made in healthy aging. Scientists are constantly learning more about how nutrition, hormones, gut health and other factors affect the way our bodies age. Who knows? Maybe someday they really will unlock the secret to the fountain of youth! Until then, I’ll happily take all the help I can get.
That’s one reason I was intrigued when I learned about Terra Mare, a women’s wellness brand founded by the lovely Academy Award-winning actress Marisa Tomei.
Terra Mare is dedicated to helping women look and feel their best through every stage of life, with science-backed supplements that address women’s unique health needs, including hormonal balance, energy, digestion and healthy aging. Inspired by the restorative Mediterranean lifestyle, the brand combines marine ingredients, botanicals and other carefully selected nutrients from around the world. Even the name Terra Mare, Italian for “Land and Sea,” reflects the brand’s commitment to harnessing the benefits of nature to support women’s health and well-being.
I also love Terra Mare’s philosophy that aging is a natural process to be celebrated rather than something women should be ashamed of. And Marisa Tomei is certainly a beautiful example of that philosophy, as she believes “Women can and should feel great at every stage of life.”
At 61, Marisa looks absolutely gorgeous, and I find her approach to aging inspiring. She’s the perfect reminder that getting older doesn’t mean women suddenly stop being beautiful, vibrant or sexy. We don’t lose our worth or our luster simply because of the year printed on our birth certificate!
Terra Mare’s Total Wellness Collection includes Morning Restore, Derma Renew, Daily Rejuvenation and UT Wellness, with formulas supporting everything from skin and digestion to energy and overall wellness.
I was given the opportunity to try Morning Restore, and after learning more about what was in it, I couldn’t wait to add it to my routine.
My Morning Restore Routine
Morning Restore is a daily supplemental drink mix that’s packed with more than 30 super nutrients designed to support energy, immunity, digestion, focus, hormonal balance and healthy aging.
No matter how hard I try to eat healthy, I’ll admit, my diet isn’t always the best. It’s nice knowing that with Morning Restore, I’m getting so many nutrients in one simple scoop, especially on those days when my idea of healthy eating could definitely use some improvement!
This formula includes organic superfoods, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi and other mushrooms, probiotics and prebiotics, Vitamin D3, magnesium, Sicilian blood orange, Red Marine Algae and wild-caught marine collagen. That’s a whole lot of goodness packed into one little scoop!
Of course, my first concern was the taste. I’ve tried countless powdered wellness drinks that taste like muddy pond water was mixed with lawn clippings and labeled as a superfood. No matter how “healthy” something promises to be, if I have to force myself to gag it down every morning, I’m probably not going to stick with it. Thankfully, Morning Restore actually tastes great! It’s light, pleasant and refreshing, and I truly enjoy drinking it.
I love that it’s quick and easy to prepare. Every morning, I just add a scoop to an icy cold water bottle, shake it up and sip on it as I go about my day.
What I’ve Noticed After a Month
After drinking Morning Restore consistently for about a month, I’ve noticed several changes that have made me even more excited to keep using it.
1. I have more energy
This has probably been the biggest difference for me. I’m not dragging through the day like I used to. I feel like I have more of a bounce in my step, which I definitely need between helping care for my aging parents and keeping up with my grandkids. I love getting outside and exploring with them, and I want to have the energy to keep doing that for many years to come.
I also appreciate that the energy feels different from what I’ve experienced with traditional energy drinks, which usually leave me shaky, jittery or even nauseous. With Morning Restore, I’m more energized without that unpleasant wired feeling.
2. My stomach looks and feels less bloated
This was a pleasant surprise! I’ve noticed much less bloating, which has made my stomach look flatter and, more importantly, I feel more comfortable.
3. My skin looks more radiant and glowy
Of course, this is one I’m especially happy about! Morning Restore contains wild-caught marine collagen peptides, and as someone who is very interested in maintaining healthy, youthful looking skin as I age, I love knowing I’m getting plenty of collagen as part of my morning drink.
4. I’m getting my greens without actually having to eat yucky kale
I’m terrible about eating enough greens. I can’t stand kale, and there are only so many salads I can eat before I get tired of them. Morning Restore contains a blend of organic supergreens, so I love being able to incorporate them into my day in a few sips—without a single leaf of kale salad in sight.
5. I’ve noticed a difference in my mood and focus
I’ve also found myself feeling calmer and more focused throughout the day. My mood feels more balanced, and I feel better able to concentrate on whatever I need to get done. Considering my never-ending to-do list, I’ll gladly take any help I can get!
Obviously, everyone is different, and my experience is—my experience. But after a month of using Morning Restore consistently, these are the changes I’ve personally noticed. For me, healthy aging isn’t about desperately trying to look younger. Yes, I want to look my best, but I also want to feel my best. It’s about nourishing my body, taking care of myself and having the energy to enjoy this stage of my life—and all the stages still to come.
