Back-to-School Wellness Kit: A Mom-Approved Guide to Keeping Your Student Healthy, Energized & Resilient

Letting Go (Sort of): How Creating a Wellness Kit Helped Me Survive Sending My Twins to College

I'll admit it - I’ve been dreading the moment my twins left home for college since their freshman year of high school. And now, with them both settling into dorm life (as athletes, no less), I feel caught somewhere between "You've got this, Mama!" and wanting to text them every 15 minutes just to remind them to eat some vegetables.

College life brings a unique cocktail of stress, excitement, late-night pizza, new germs, and - let’s be honest - the occasional party. So, instead of spending every night worrying (or stalking their Instagram stories), I did what I know best: I put together a comprehensive wellness kit to support their health, resilience, and energy as they navigate their new chapter.

Introducing My Mom-Approved Back-to-School Wellness Kit

My twins might roll their eyes a little, but I know deep down they're grateful to have this stash of supplements handy. And trust me, your student doesn’t need to be an athlete to benefit from this kit. It’s perfect for any student adjusting to dorm life, new schedules, all-nighters, and yes, even the occasional weekend of overindulgence.

Here’s what I included:

Step 1: Choose the Right Multivitamin

• Athletic Pure Pack: Both my son and daughter play collegiate sports, so this was a no-brainer. However, this is a must for all students with active lifestyles or demanding schedules. It has multivitamins, omega-3s, antioxidants, and recovery support - all conveniently packed into daily packets.

• Athletic Nutrients: Still robust but fewer capsules. Great for students who need solid nutritional support without too many pills.

• One Daily Multivitamin: Perfectly simple and easy for students who want minimal fuss. Ideal if you know your kid will resist anything complicated.

Step 2: Customize the Extras to Match Your Student’s Life

Because let's face it, every college experience is a little different, I chose additional targeted supplements that I knew would make a difference:

• Probiotics: Dorm food and stress are not friends to digestion. Probiotics help maintain immune and digestive health, along with keeping moods stable.

• GI Detox: Essential for those "Oops, maybe I shouldn’t have eaten (or drank) that" moments. A must-have in my kids’ emergency stash.

• Adrenal Cocktail: This one’s my personal favorite. Perfect for restoring minerals depleted by stress, late-night studying, and yes, occasional late-night fun. A healthier pick-me-up than that third espresso or energy drink.

• Perfect Aminos: Whether they're at practice, cramming for finals, or just too busy to eat a proper meal, this supports energy, focus, and recovery.

• Vitamin D3/K2: Because living indoors (or in the library) means less sunlight. Vitamin D keeps immunity strong and mood balanced during the darker months.

Personalize the Kit Even More

If your kid has specific concerns - like sleep trouble, anxiety, skin breakouts, or is recovering from antibiotics - let me know! As a mom and functional medicine practitioner, I’m always happy to help personalize recommendations.

Final Words for Moms

Look, sending our kids away is hard. It’s emotional, exciting, terrifying, and thrilling all at once. While we can’t control everything (and believe me, I've tried), giving them tools like this wellness kit helps me - and hopefully you - breathe a little easier.

Consider creating your own wellness kit for your student. It's more than just supplements. It’s peace of mind. It’s love packed into capsules. And yes, it's one way we can keep showing up for our kids - even from afar.

Mama, you’ve got this. And they’ve got you.
