Nick Jonas has always been on the move, and 2023 has been no exception. He has been touring with the Jonas Brothers, the band he formed with his siblings Kevin and Joe since 2005. Each night they welcome a new city, a new crowd, and many physical demands, as the group's shows are long and energetic.
Nick is no stranger to the spotlight—he's been in the public eye since his Disney Channel days when he captured hearts as a teen star alongside his brothers in shows, music videos, and the iconic "Camp Rock." Over the years, the band took a break, allowing him to launch a successful solo career. Now reunited for five years, the Jonas Brothers are as popular as ever. Yet life looks a bit different for Nick—he's become a father to a two-year-old daughter with his wife, actress Priyanka Chopra, and his health, especially managing type 1 diabetes, remains a central focus.
Mindfulness and A Helpful Tool

Touring for months on end, has mastered balancing his hectic lifestyle with mindful self-care. With performances demanding a lot of physical energy, Nick opts for activities like yoga and golf, which allow him to stay active without over-exerting his body. And though he's constantly in motion, he doesn't lose sight of his health.
He relies on the Dexcom G7 glucose monitor to manage his diabetes, a tool that he's championed for years as a spokesperson. His security team is always on standby backstage, monitoring his levels in case of a drop or spike. As a seasoned pro, Nick has learned to listen to his body, noticing the subtle signs that help him maintain balance. It's a routine he's refined over the years, ensuring he's at his best both on stage and off.
Keeping It Simple

Regarding diet, Nick is equally mindful but keeps it simple. His days start with plenty of hydration, and his breakfast is consistent—scrambled eggs, whole wheat toast, avocado, and an Americano. Lunch is usually light and green-focused, often a salad or grilled chicken, especially when he's on the road. Dinner is where he allows for more variety, rotating between Italian, Indian, Thai, and Japanese dishes, often enjoyed at home with his family. He indulges occasionally but stays grounded with a focus on protein and greens. His favorite restaurant? Osteria La Buca in Los Angeles, where the carbonara bucatini and chicken parm keep him coming back. However, his unexpected favorite dish is the restaurant's simple farm lettuce salad with Dijon vinaigrette—just lettuce and dressing, but he swears by it.
Snacking is also an important part of Nick's day, especially in managing his glucose levels. His tour rider includes childhood favorites like ants on a log, a mix of celery, peanut butter, and raisins. It's practical for managing his diabetes and a nostalgic treat. Dark chocolate and Rob’s Backstage Popcorn also frequently appear on his snack list, providing quick energy boosts during busy days. Whether balancing workouts, performances, or family life, Nick’s approach to diet and fitness is flexible and realistic, allowing him to keep up with his fast-paced life while staying healthy and feeling great.
