When I was first trying to get pregnant,
I cut out a lot of wheat, sugar, and dairy in
my diet—and I remember drinking tons of
wheatgrass juice. So I’ve tried to stay with
that, but there’s wiggle room. It doesn’t
mean I won’t eat french fries. I’m done
with wheatgrass juice, though. In fact, it
may make me gag just thinking about it.”PUT IN TIME BUILDING
YOUR STRENGTH
“I love the feeling of exercising. But the
days of getting up at 4 or 5 a.m. to work
out are long gone for me. I’m not fanatical,
so I change it up. I love yoga, and I have
a Pilates Reformer in the house. Also, as
you get older, you have to work harder
to keep muscle tone, so that’s why I do
strength training with weights. Not the
three-pound kind but with higher-level
weights using barbells. I have a trainer,
because I can’t exercise very well if I’m
not being instructed. It’s as if I suddenly
develop amnesia: I can’t remember any
moves. And nobody is watching, so I’m
not going to care if I do three instead of 20.”GIVE YOUR ENERGY
TO A GREATER PURPOSE
“When UNAIDS wrote to me with the
invitation, it just made complete sense.
They wanted me to address the issue
here in the U.S. as well as worldwide. I felt
privileged to be able to help in Zambia
[on a 2006 UNAIDS fact-finding mis-
sion] and to see how hard people were
working there to make it better. In the
last 10 years that I’ve been working with
UNAIDS, people have been getting hold
of the antiretroviral drugs, so there’s [sig-
nificantly reduced] transference from
mother to child. We still need to do more
and remove the stigma, but it’s great to
have witnessed such a positive change.”followed by a milk cleanser—I like one from Tammy Fender. Then
I’ll do a mist, followed by a face oil—Saint Jane has a lovely CBD
[cannabidiol] one that’s just great for reducing redness and inflam-
mation. Sometimes I mix the oil with a moisturizer—I like the one
from Dr. Barbara Sturm—or with the spray mist to sort of press it
in. Then obviously I use sunscreen on top.”BE BIG-PICTURE ABOUT WHAT YOU EAT
“The minute I put myself in any kind of constraint with eating, I’ll
end up rebelling and not doing the right thing. So I allow myself
room for naughty and nice. I grew up in the ’70s, and my mom was
a hippie in the day who baked her own bread and made vegetarian
dishes. So that’s my comfort food. Superhealthy. It’s what I crave.
