Heart explained to Manilla Times that she lost a ton of weight with a bone broth diet, which involves eating two meals and a daily serving of 200 ml broth that can serve as a snack or replacement for dinner. "The composition is all-organic, hormone-free ingredients and produce. It's packed with amino acid, it has glycine, it's great for the gut, and it's nutrient-dense especially if you have nutrient deficiency, which is common because of the type of food we eat. It's like a cup of minerals you'll need," she elaborated.

Heart prioritizes exercise. "I workout once a day, in the morning before anything else," she told Philippine Entertainment Portal. "I think the best way to lose fat is before you even put fat or eat anything is you have to burn what's already stuck there. So, you workout before you eat breakfast in the morning for 30 minutes."

Heart mixes up her workouts daily. "Treadmill, sometimes brisk walk or I run, sit-ups," she told PEP. She also takes classes at Plana Forma studio. "It's a combination of core yoga and Pilates," she said. "It's not really the weight loss, but you become really firm especially in the areas that you want to concentrate on like your butt, your thighs, your stomach, a little bit of your arms."

She added to PEP that supplements are an important part of her healthy regimen, as they help keep her body from being deficient in important nutrients. 

Heart explains that her devotion to exercise isn't just about looking good. "It's not because I want to be thin, that's just a bonus. I really work out because I want my blood circulation to be good," she told GMA. Heart didn't deny that it was difficult for her at first, but making her health her motivation instead of just her physical appearance helped her put things in perspective. Heart continued," It takes just a hard week to start and after that, it will be easy."

Heart battled anxiety for much of her life, before she sought help. Her doctor prescribed medication, which was a game-changer. "It was like a miracle. I was like, 'oh my god, there are so many who are suffering in silence, because they don't know why or are embarrassed to seek help'. This is something that can be fixed, you just need to take the first step," she told Vogue. Now, she spreads her message about mental health. "I talk about it whenever I have a bigger platform to express myself. And why would I not, when taking control of things like I did can save someone's life?"
