Katy O’Brian is showing off her guns for GQ. In a new photoshoot the Love Lies Bleeding star flexes for the cameras, flaunting her incredibly strong body. “You look amazing and most of us probably envy your shape,” commented one of her followers. Another added “good lawd 🔥.” How does the 35-year-old approach diet and fitness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Battling Crohn’s Disease

Katy battles Crohn’s disease, an autoimmune condition with symptoms including diarrhea, abdominal pain, and intense fatigue. “My symptoms started at least a year before my diagnosis when I suddenly lost 15 pounds. Then I was just so tired, to the point of feeling like I could barely function, especially after a bigger meal. Meanwhile, it wasn’t unusual for me to have diarrhea four times over the course of a 12-hour day of filming. I had no idea what was going on, so I chalked my GI issues and fatigue up to nerves,” she told Self. “Then there were some weird symptoms that you don’t typically think of as being part of Crohn’s: I developed open sores on the corner of my mouth; I started having night sweats; and when I experienced even the slightest surprise, it felt like a bolt of electricity was shooting through my body.”

2. Martial Arts

Aside from being an actress and writer, “martial arts instructor” is also on Katy’s resume. Studies confirm that the practice helps with balance, cognitive function and psychological health in addition to weight loss and physical fitness.

3. Strength Training

While filming Love Lies Bleeding, Katy spent two to three hours every day at the gym doing cardio and lifting. “My character, Jackie, is training for a bodybuilding competition, so in addition to filming gym scenes and some pretty intense action scenes, I had to work out for multiple hours every night once I got home,” she told the publication.

4. Watching Her Diet

“Paying attention to how my body reacts to different things has been a game changer for me. I’ve had to just try different things and see how they affect me. For instance, I have issues with high-fat foods and spicy foods. (Although I have to admit, while I moderate how much spicy food I eat, I’m not ready to give it up completely.) I’ve also found that taking a multivitamin that includes a digestive enzyme before I eat a questionable meal tends to work really well,” Katy said about her diet. “The filmmakers did an amazing job of making sure I was taken care of on set. I had a nutritionist who was responsible for all my meals, which made it easy to eat really healthy and to avoid my trigger foods,” said Katy.

5. Lower-Intensity Cardio and Rest

“I also had a trainer who designed a program that prioritized sustainability; whereas I’d usually do martial arts as my cardio, in addition to lifting, he had me doing lower-intensity cardio and taking one day fully off per week,” Katy added.

2. Her Workout Sessions Are Intense

Olivia once said that she doesn’t do any ab workouts. “I just do really heavy compound lifts which work my entire torso,” she revealed in an Instagram Story Q&A. Her favorite area to train? “Back or quads,” she revealed. She loves doing bent over rows and squats. However, she recently shared a video of the ab workout she is doing to get ready for summer. “It’s time to cut for summer! I ended up doing 4 rounds x 30 seconds,” she captioned it.

3. She Doesn’t Do Cardio

Olivia isn’t a fan of cardio. She focuses on lifting weights in order to build muscl instead of losing weight. “The most I do right now is walking for like 10 minutes before I start if I feel like it,” she said. Occasionally, she might do some sprints.

4. She Has Her Own Fitness App

Olivia switches up her routine every four weeks and shares her workouts on her LivFit app. The subscription includes a few 4-week programs, a nutrition guide, and new workouts weekly.

5. She Has Gained 40 Pounds Since Starting Her Fitness Journey

Olivia exercises to gain muscle, not lose weight. “I'm finishing up my first 8-week bulk of the year on Friday, and ya girl has gained 10lbs and is looking a littttttleee fluffy (although I don't mind it!) 💪🏼 but now I'm excited to start cutting for summer!” she captioned a post. “Fitness is such a huge part of my life; my days really revolve around my workouts and what I put into my body. For some reason, I always liked to keep it to myself and didn't talk about it too much on here, but that is about to change! When I first started my fitness journey, I was coming off two ACL tears and just trying to build the muscle in my legs after having back-to-back surgeries. Now, I have been lifting for six years and have gained around 40lbs (my weight fluctuates) and put on tons of muscle!”

She built her community of 7.6M followers, aiming to inspire others to get their fitness goals in check. She’s a content creator, fitness fanatic, model, and influencer inspiring others to take care of their health, as well. What exactly does Katya do to stay fit? Here are some of her secrets to keeping herself in tiptop shape.

1. She uses dumbbells

You don’t always need a gym full of massive machines or intense equipment to see results. She does her strength training using dumbbells at times. “Limited equipment at your gym? here’s my fav [dumbbell] 🍑 workout @wbkfit,” she said on Instagram. According to the Mayo Clinic, “strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

2. She does light cardio

She avoids actually resting on rest days, but instead takes it easy a bit. “On rest days.. we don’t rest! we do light cardio and core ❣️these are my staple deep core exercises I’ve been doing for the last month to snatch my waist and fix my diastasis recti/ab separation ✨mommy tummy✨ @wbkfit,” she said.

3. She started the All About Me Era

She finds the humor in life, made clear by her poem. “May the booty get fatter and my stomach become flatter. Amen. Keeping active up until my All About Me Era begins on January 15th 💫 I can’t wait. @wbkfit,” she said on Instagram.

4. She goes easy on herself in her body is recovering

She recognizes when her body needs a break. “Today’s first official workout back! 6 weeks post breast augmentation and I’m finally ready to get back to it, taking it easy still, I’ll be sticking to machines first few workouts. Started with some bands, jumped into some machines for the legs n booty, cooled down with some stair master (my fav) and ended with a few deep core exercises bc I promised myself that everyyy day I’d work this mama of 2 tummy ☺️💪🏽,” she said on Instagram.

5. It’s not just about the booty gains

I don't paint it, I did it, but I haven't done it in a long time. Also, I set it free! My hair is naturally Chinese so I leave it loose and natural so as not to do so many processes and subject it to many temperature changes.”

Many things have had to happen for this moment to come and we just need to not stop, and we’re not stopping. To me, it makes me feel so proud to see my friends, my fellow singers…so many women, we are telling the world how we see it in new music that we’re writing today because we’re not stopping on making new music.”
