"Love It or List It," the global home renovation and real estate series, has a unique premise. Featured in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and beyond, each episode presents a relatable dilemma: should a couple renovate their current home or move to a new one? With a skilled designer and a savvy real estate agent at the helm, audiences are treated to a blend of creative makeovers and exciting property hunts. Here we dive into the personal health and wellness journeys of the show's beloved personalities. From Hilary Farr's outdoor passions to David Visentin's fitness regimen, discover the secrets behind the stars' vibrant lifestyles. Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how these TV favorites maintain their well-being amidst their bustling careers.


1. Hilary Farr

Hilary Farr is the designer on Love It Or List It. In this blog post on her website, Farr revealed that she loves spending time outside. “For me, I think Nature kindles a deep feeling of a bond with the world around us, and the one we are with. My perfect Valentine’s Day would be to bundle up, if it’s chilly, and take a walk with your love at dusk, just as the light is changing and the first stars and the moon begin to appear in the sky. Sharing that natural beauty and majesty in stillness together, strengthens the wonder of having found each other in this huge world of our rushing, busy lives. Simply taking the time to be alone and gaze into the vastness of the starry night sky, can solidify and strengthen the bond of friendship and love.”

2. David Visentin

David Visentin is the real estate agent on Love It Or List It. He makes sure to live a healthy lifestyle. Visentin shared some of his secrets in this Tweet from his account. “I am eating super healthy, drinking LOTS of filtered water, doing constant push-ups, practically biking and jogging around the world.”

3. Neale Whitaker

Neale Whitaker is the interior designer on Love It Or List It Australia. He opened up about his approach to wellness and living well in this post on KingLiving.com. “We hear a lot these days about wellness, but not so much about living well,” he writes. “And there’s a difference. Wellness tends to focus on things like health, nutrition, diet and exercise, but living well? Maybe it means something different to each of us, but to me it means finding joy in the moment, and sometimes through the simplest pleasures.”

4. Jillian Harris

Jillian Harris is the designer on Love It Or List It Vancouver. She was previously a cast member on The Bachelor and a lead on The Bachelorette’s fifth season. In this post on her website, Harris wrote about her journey to eating healthy. “I started eating a little bit healthier—nothing drastic, just small changes that I could maintain. This looked like reducing the number of carbs in my diet and skipping fast food and chips (I love chips) and being more intentional about eating plant-based (I’d gotten a little sidetracked with this goal). While there is NOTHING wrong with carbs, in fact, I hear carbs are great for some people, carbs were becoming a crutch for me and something that I would resort to eating instead of eating an assortment of nutritious food.”

5. Todd Talbot

Todd Talbot is the realtor on Love It Or List It Vancouver. In an interview with Enviroment911.org, Talbot talked about how his family gives back to the Earth. “Rather than focus on the everyday items we, as a family, took a different approach. Three years ago when we looked at our home and the impact that space had on our life and the environment, we decided to start the process of 'right sizing' our life. We started with the actual house—from 3000 square feet in Lions Bay to 1200 square feet in East Vancouver—ultimately meant less stuff. We took on breaking the insatiable habit of over-consumption by physically limiting our space. We think the trickle-down effect has a big impact. Let me tell you, it's like going to the gym consistently. It ain't easy!”

Home Town host, Ben Napier notably lost a lot of weight. His wife and co-host, Erin, shared how he did it on her Instagram. “He got hardcore about his health and fitness last winter ahead of his big shoulder surgery that was in March so he could sleep better on his back and lower his BP.”

In an interview with Women’s Running, Nicole Curtis talked about how she approaches hosting Rehab Addict. “I do the show my way—I didn’t want to be some cookie-cutter TV personality,” she says. “To this day, my best friends who have known me since fifth grade, will say, ‘The person that you see on TV—that’s her in real life. If you meet her in the bathroom in an airport, she’s going to talk the same exact way as when you see her on TV.’ And I think that that comes through, and I think that is something that has been so successful with the show.”

7. Joanna Gaines

Fixer Upper host and Magnolia owner, Joanna Gaines, talked about her diet to Country Living. “I’m big into eggs in the morning just for the protein.

8. Chip Gaines

In 2018, Chip Gaines trained for a marathon, and ended up losing 10 pounds. He talked about his process to Runner’s World. "This is the hardest thing I’ve ever put my body through, but for me, running is a mental game. I’ve learned that if I can convince myself to just keep putting one foot in front of the other, then I can run as far as I want to."

9. Mina Starsiak Hawk

On Instagram, Mina Starsiak Hawk opened up about her wellness journey. "I spent the first half of last year working on my professional development, which ultimately meant working on my own mental and emotional development,” she says. “Not least of which was my new outlook on my physical health. The changes I've made have been for ME, not anyone else; both physically and mentally."

FBI isn’t the first action role Missy Peregrym had. She previously starred in the cop drama Rookie Blue and in the gymnastics film Stick It. According to an interview in People, these choices are intentional. "I like roles where I get to do stunts and be athletic, so I'm playing the vulnerability every woman has and also the ability to handle crazy situations.”

2. Alana de la Garza

Alana de la Garza talked about what she likes about starring in FBIin an interview. “There is something really relaxing about that creative process when you trust the people you work with and you’re able to perform. If you’re able to take words off a page and, luckily, the words that are on our pages are just incredible. The storytellers that we have that are writing these scripts are so good that you can trust that and you’re able to feel creatively complete by trusting the other characters on the show who are also your friends. There is something relaxing about that.”

3. Sela Ward

4. Zeeko Zaki

Zeeko Zaki talked about his weight loss in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "The craziest part was just being kind of a different person every year. You get like 10 lbs. a year, I wanted to do it slow," Zaki explained. "But my biggest tip and the thing that I walked away from was a little trick I learned from The 4-Hour Body by Timothy Ferriss — 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking up. So give it a shot."

5. Vedette Lim

Vedette Lim spends a lot of time outside. Naturally, she likes to do outdoor workouts to keep herself in shape. Lim posted this photo on Instagram of herself going on a hike in the deserts of Arizona. She captioned it, “A visit to my birth state.”

New,York,,Ny,-,November,01:,Ebonee,Noel,Attends,TheShutterstock

Ebonee Noel has worked with Dick Wolf in both FBI and Law & Order SVU. She talked about her process with playing her roles in an interview with One Chicago. “I tried to make the technical dialogue be as interesting as possible when delivering it, because I know some of the stuff, I got the script and it’s like what am I talking about here? If I don’t know what I’m talking about, the audience is going to have no idea what I’m talking about. So it’s just fleshing out that jargon and trying to find her joy in figuring these things out.”

7. Connie Nielsen

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,13:,Connie,Nielsen,At,The,WorldShutterstock

In a 2014 interview with Parade, Connie Nielsen talked about her diet. “For breakfast, I eat organic food with high fat content, such as whole milk yogurt, nuts, seeds, fresh fruit and a scrambled egg. I cook it in organic grape seed oil for its high omega content. I drink a cappuccino for its dose of milk and the coffee for its taste, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. At lunch, I might eat smoked salmon with a slice of Mozzarella di Bufala, made from the milk of domestic water buffalo, along with avocado.”

She captioned the post, “I’ve been struggling, trying to come up with any kind of words to properly describe how I’ve felt lately regarding the frightening uptick of violence against the AAPI community, especially after the hate fueled racist attack that transpired Tuesday 💔 My heart pours out for the AAPI community. I stand with you and I support you. We cannot continue to let hateful rhetoric be louder than the voices of those who are being hurt/attacked. Its more than a square on a screen.... It’s education, listening, using your voice to speak up and speak out, supporting local businesses, volunteering, donating, reporting, petitions. Because we aren’t safe,until we are all safe.”

The Weakest Link host, Jane Lynch, talked about her fitness journey in an interview with Parade. “I don’t like to work out. I keep joining and quitting the same gym. And I’m in the join mode now. But I know how important it is, especially when on the verge of 60, to keep your muscles strong. As I get older, I hope that a wave of grace washes over me that makes me really want to go to the gym in the morning and lift weights. I live up in the canyon though and take about 25 stairs to get to the house, 15 to my bedroom, and my office is in the guesthouse, which is about another 30. So I am walking all the time!”

5. Brooke Burns

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,13:,Brooke,Burns,At,The,HallmarkShutterstock

Selfishly, I love getting up and getting it done. I grew up in a fit family, and my parents set a really great example for me. I never thought, ‘Oh, I have to go work out.’ It was more of a lifestyle.”

6. Julie Chen

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,10:,Julie,Chen,At,The,WeinsteinShutterstock

Three days a week, I work with my trainer doing crossfit, two days a week doing yoga, and one day a week Pilates. Sundays are my days off most of the time. Otherwise, it’s treadmill. Or maybe some weights.”

But I don't feel like I'm betraying people. I've still got a--, I've still got boobs!"

She talked about some of her diet secrets in an interview with HollywoodLife. “We need fat, it’s all the things that we were trained not to do that really feed our brain and our skin, our hair. I do eat a lot of fat but I am pretty conscious of what I eat, I don’t eat processed food really at all. I intermittent fast faithfully but I’m not like 16 hours strict, it really depends, but I start with the coffee and then after I finish my workout I usually have a really good shake that is full of everything I need from almond milk to good collagen protein, it will probably have some MCT oil in there, some dates, some macca energy, pretty much all the good stuff and that sustains me for a while. So I’ll do that nearly every day.”

And I highly recommend it for anyone who's looking to feel more grounded, more focused and more in their body, as well as have more clarity.”

11. Wayne Brady

Let’s Make A Deal host, Wayne Brady, opened up about his fitness journey in a 2014 interview with BlackDoctor.org. “I’ve definitely gotten stronger,” Brady says. “A couple weeks ago I was able to start benching 205 pounds.

Survivor host Jeff Probst revealed his secrets for staying youthful to GQ. “I don't have a grooming secret. Once or twice a year I will do some sort of face laser, which is not as severe as it sounds. One of them is called Fraxel, a wand that they just sort of run over your face. It t leaves you red for about three days. But it brings all of the sun damage to the surface. And by the seventh day, it all flakes off, and it's like you have a brand new face. Here’s the thing: I've been shooting Survivor for 20 years and my skin looks better than it ever has. You can reverse the damage.”

15. Phil Keoghan

And I will even ask now, ‘oh, does that have dairy?’ I would say overall, my energy level is up I do, I just feel better for it.”

AJ Cook played Jennifer Jareau on the show. She loves to run, and talked about this to Women’s Running. “I’ve run all my life really, but just because it was a good way to get cardio in. I never enjoyed it. Just in the last year or so, I’ve come to love how I feel when I run. It’s that time where I just get to escape from everything—no phone, no computer, I’m not working, I just shut that side of my brain off and let the other side of my brain open up.”

"If you're diet ain't right, you're going to drive yourself crazy in the gym. You might get a little stronger, but you're not going to get prettier.”

Rachel Nichols played Ashley Seaver on the show. In an interview with Smashing Interviews, she talked about the importance of having quality time with her husband. “It’s been crucial and non-negotiable that we spent a lot of time together since we live together and weren’t allowed to go anywhere. But I’m pretty easy. I love to go home to Maine to see my family. I’m actually leaving to go to Maine in the middle of November. I haven’t been home in two years. It’s the longest I’ve ever gone without seeing my parents. So I’d maintain that travel is my favorite thing to do on my down time.”

5. Joe Mantegna

Joe Mantegna played David Rossi on the show. He talked about his workout secrets with Parade. “For the last 23 years, I’ve lived in a two-story house, and so I often run up the stairs—an opportunity. I spend a good portion of the day going up and down. If I’m in a building that’s three stories, I walk up the stairs. If I’m traveling—and there’s somewhere I can walk—I’ll do that or take a bicycle. I used to go to the gym, but don’t feel the need now. I felt I spent too much time chatting with other people about what we do for a living.”

6. Kirsten Vangsness

Kirsten Vangsness played Penelope Garcia on the show. She talked about how she approached the reboot to Parade. “I'm not writing an episode because gosh, I love acting. Writing is fun for me, and I find it really pleasurable, but it’s hard for me to do for Criminal Minds because I’m not as good at it as everybody else. I was taking acting classes for six months before I got back here and I was very excited to be like, I want to do this better than I did before. I want to try things and be more.”

7. Aisha Tyler

Aisha Tyler played Tara Lewis on the show. She described her diet to People as a modified paleo diet. “This means that for the most part, I avoid refined carbohydrates, grains, dairy and sugar. That said, I’m not super strict. I try to be as disciplined as I can during the week so that I can eat what I want on the weekends, which includes pasta, bread and other fun stuff.”

8. Jennifer Love Hewitt

Jennifer Love Hewitt played Kate Callahan on the show. She tells Hello! Magazine that she loves Palmer’s products. “Palmers is classic. I knew about it before pregnancy. But once I was pregnant I used it, it worked and I loved it. The massage cream for stretch marks and the skin therapy oil. Yes, those are the two Palmers products I've used. I've used it twice a day-morning and night.”

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows. I don't have anything on them today really, except this product, but it's the Rare Beauty lifting gel stuff. I mean, Selena, 'thank you' is all I can say. I love it, so I'm going to put it up so that you know what it is, but that's what it is. That is the brow lifting that people are talking about. That's all I got."

She Does a Variety of Workouts

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

We are committed to bringing you researched, expert-driven content to help you make more informed decisions around food, health, and wellness. We know how important making choices about your overall health is, and we strive to provide you with the best information possible.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
