And, in one of them, she shows off her body in a swimsuit while taking a sauna. “I recently did the G.Tox 7-Day Reset, so I thought it would be fun to do a photo dump (is that what the kids call it?) of a day on the kit. If you’re looking for a reset, I couldn’t recommend this one more. It’s all about nourishment, eating real, delicious food, and taking time to slow down,” she captioned the post.

1. She Is a Tracy Anderson Method Diehard

Gwyneth has declared herself “a total die-hard” fan of the Tracy Anderson Method, a dance-inspired workout. “Her method works so well for me. I've seen all these fads come and go, and nothing works for me the way that Tracy's approach does, so I really stick with it,” she revealed to Shape. “She's amazing.” “Many of you may already know of my passion for the Tracy Anderson Method and my investment in it. She has kicked my formerly sagging ass into shape and I will be forever grateful,” she added on Goop.

2. She Loves Infrared Saunas

Gwyneth is all about infrared saunas, which she demonstrates in her latest social media post. “I love to take an infrared sauna; it's really detoxifying. It's a real gift to myself,” she told Shape. “I haven't tried cryotherapy yet because I'm kind of scared to, but they say it's great for pain. Our diets are so full of inflammatory foods that I think we need to do increasingly extreme things to combat it.”

3. She Gets Her Zen On

Gwyneth is all about meditation. She recently told Vogue that during the pandemic she went from doing it “sporadically” to every single morning. “I do Transcendental Meditation, so that’s something you learn with a teacher and they give you a mantra. There’s an app called Insight Timer that I use, and then sometimes when I need a little meditation in the afternoon [I use] The Breathing App. You follow a ball expanding and contracting and breathe along with it. Even five minutes is really helpful,” she said. “Paparazzi’d while meditating…” she captioned a recent Instagram photo.

4. She Cleanses

“At Goop they call me ‘GP the guinea pig,’ because I'll try anything,” she told Shape. “I just tried a goat milk cleanse for eight days to rid my system of parasites. That was really interesting. It's only goat's milk and herbs. The theory is that we all have parasites, and they love the milk protein. So if you eat nothing else, they all come out of the intestinal wall and then you kill them with the herbs. I had to try it for Goop, but I felt so good after it.”

5. Her Diet Is Clean

Gwyneth’s goal is to “eat pretty clean during the day” by consuming “good proteins and lots of vegetables and not too much grain or sugar, and nothing baked,” she told Shape. As the day progresses, she relaxes her approach, eating whatever she wants for dinner, but shying toward lean proteins like fish and chicken.

6. She Takes Supplements

Gwyneth takes supplements, and even makes them. “The way the modern food system is, we're always depleted of nutrients, so I take a good multivitamin, and a fish oil, and then I have other herbs for various things,” she told Shape.

7. She Exercises Al Fresco

Gwyneth is a fan of getting her sweat on outdoors. “Always trying to get as close to Mother Nature as possible,” she captioned a post of herself paddleboarding.

8. She Does Intermittent Fasting

Paltrow has incorporated intermittent fasting into her lifestyle. “This year, I’ve been working with my dear friend and functional medicine practitioner @drwillcole and experimenting with the program from his new book, Intuitive Fasting. Will's clear, but flexible, four-week plan combines intuitive eating with intermittent fasting and Ketotarian foods. It's designed to optimize our well-being and set us up to feel our best for all the other weeks to come,” she wrote in a recent post.

Gwyneth Paltrow has been an icon for decades, as the face of Estée Lauder’s perfume, star of classics like Seven, Shakespeare In Love, and Iron Man (while nabbing an Emmy for her appearance on Glee) and now mogul: Paltrow is also the founder of lifestyle brand Goop, and is known for being very healthy. Goop just shared an image of the founder in a bathing suit, dry brushing her skin. "The benefits of dry brushing are noticeable both instantly and in the long term. Gwyneth uses her dry brush right before her morning shower," they captioned it. “The bristles feel so good on my skin,” she says. “There’s nothing like it.” (For the Goop story, go here.)

1. She Works To Accept Her Body

Paltrow tells People that she works to accept her body as she ages, especially growing up in the public eye. "Unfortunately, we're always looking at ourselves with a critical eye," she says. "I would love to get to a place where I don't do that anymore. I want to show up for myself in a more loving way, because it's all going south from here! There's nothing we can do about it." Paltrow also said that having her children made her notice changes in her body, and made her start to accept her body. "I was just coming out of my 20s when you're in that sexy, young girl phase and then you're like, 'Well, how do I reconcile who I am now with that?' For me, it was really about giving myself time to be a mother, and letting my body dictate where it was going.” Paltrow encourages mothers and other women to adapt this mindset, "Some women feel when they have kids that they don't feel sexual because their body isn't back yet. But it's like, 'Who said our bodies have to look a certain way?' It's hard as you age and change. But it's about bringing a wider spectrum of acceptance."

2. She Either Has A Smoothie for Breakfast or Doesn’t Eat It At All

Paltrow tells Harper’s Bazaar that she’s not the biggest fan of breakfast, and prefers to eat a later breakfast. “I’m not a big breakfast person,” she says. “I’ll eat brunch sometimes late on a weekend but, after I take my kids to school, I go straight to the gym.” Paltrow says on her Goop podcast that when she does have breakfast, she usually makes a smoothie. “On a normal day, I’ll have a smoothie for breakfast,” she says. Paltrow usually makes her smoothies with protein, healthy fats, and fiber, like cacao and peanut butter.

3. She Loves Water and Vitamin C

Paltrow says to Harper’s Bazaar that she makes sure to stay hydrated throughout the day, and that she starts her day with water. “I usually have a large glass or two of water.” Paltrow says that she stays hydrated throughout the day, and also includes Vitamin C powder with her water. “I always have a big thing of water at the gym, and I put two of our GoopGlows in for Vitamin C.”

4. She Eats Healthy Dinners

Paltrow says on her Goop podcast that for dinner, she has whatever she wants, with conditions. “But I do always try to avoid highly-processed foods and high-fructose corn syrup,” she says. Paltrow tells Shape that she likes to cook dinner as often as she can, saying, “I have a bunch of chicken dishes and pasta go-tos, and I do a lot of stir-fry for the kids. I always keep cooked brown rice in the fridge. Then it takes two minutes to chop up some vegetables, make a nice sauce, and you’re done.”

5. She Isn’t A Fan of Cleanses

Paltrow admits to InStyle that she isn’t a huge fan of cleanses and detoxes. "I'm basically never cleansing," she admitted. "Only if I'm guinea pigging something for the website. Or I try to do one good cleanse a year."

6. She Takes Vitamins and Supplements

Paltrow tells Shape that she incorporated supplements and vitamins into her diet. “I definitely take supplements. The way the modern food system is, we're always depleted of nutrients, so I take a good multivitamin, and a fish oil, and then I have other herbs for various things.”

Gwyneth Paltrow has done a lot in her career: actor, entrepreneur, icon, Marvel star. And she revealed on her Instagram story that she has wrapped an exciting new opportunity. Paltrow said that she got to interview Ellen Vora, who has a functional medicine approach to mental health, and that she was “inspired.” In the photo, Paltrow posed in a tan bathing suit in the pool.

Paltrow has been subjected to a lot of criticism over the years. However, she says that she doesn’t let it bother her. “When someone doesn’t like something you do, or doesn’t share your interest in something, that doesn’t have anything to do with you,” she says to Women’s Health. “One of the best things someone ever said to me was that the only time criticism hurts is if you have a judgment about yourself about that very thing.”

5. This is Her Morning Routine

Paltrow revealed her morning routine in this post on Goop. She revealed some of her favorite wellness routines. “Brad and I meditate for 20 minutes. We practice TM, which I learned seven or eight years ago. I initially did it sporadically, and it didn’t really become a routine until Brad learned it, too, and it became more easily integrated into our mornings. It’s been nice to do together during the pandemic, and we’ve kept it up.”

Gwyneth Paltrow, the Oscar-winning actress and wellness maven, is enjoying her holiday weekend. The Goop founder, like many, decided to kick off summer by spending time in the water, and she made sure to get some photos.
