Goulart broke down her approach to wellness in an interview with ELLE. She says that when it comes to working out, she takes it really seriously. Goulart says that she asks her trainers to give her workouts that are really hard, specifically like an athlete. "I tell my trainers to train me like I will become a professional in that sport. If you have focus, motivation [and] dedication, you can accomplish your goals."

One workout that Goulart loves to do is yoga. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself upside down in a pose, while she was on her hotel balcony in Paris. She captioned the photo, "Bonjour! Calm before the storm." "Yoga therapy is a holistic practice that supports health and healing. It uses breathing exercises and gentle movement. It aids in healing, provides relaxation, increases range of motion and enhances well-being. Yoga therapy is used for individuals of all ages and abilities," says the Mayo Clinic.

Goulart is a big fan of cooking meals, and she says to ELLE that she likes to make a lot of healthy food. "I travel a lot, but when I'm home, I cook every day," she says. "In the mornings, I'll make juices with fruits, vegetables and protein." "Several organizations, including Mayo Clinic, the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), urge us to eat more fruits and vegetables. The ACS guidelines suggest we should eat five or more servings per day. The AICR has set goals of 2 to 3 cups of vegetables and 1 1/2 cups of fruit per day. A serving, as defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is one medium whole fruit or 1/2 cup of fruit, 1/2 cup of cooked or chopped vegetables and 1 cup raw, leafy greens," says the Mayo Clinic.

When it comes to her diet, Goulart says that she eats pretty healthy. She tells ELLE that she isn't on any complicated diet, and just focuses on eating natural, healthy foods. "I try to keep the foods I put in my body as basic as possible: protein, carbs and vegetables. When I go out, I just try to make the healthiest choices on the menu." Add some olive oil, too. "Regular intake of virgin olive oil—a monounsaturated fat characteristic of the Mediterranean diet—is associated with low incidences of cancer, heart disease and other obesity-related problems as well as a lower risk of stroke. A recent study in the journal PLOS ONE showed that firefighters, a group known to have a high prevalence of obesity, who adhered to a Mediterranean-style diet rich in olive oil showed a 35 percent decreased risk of metabolic syndrome, as well as a 43 percent lower risk of weight gain," says our sister site Eat This, Not That! about the healthiest foods.

Goulart tells ELLE that she prioritzes her happiness above everything else. Even over her career and her looks. "I don't wake up everyday thinking I have to look good, but I wake up everyday thinking I want to feel happy," she says. "I want to walk in a room and be able to make people smile and laugh. It's all about confidence." "If your relationships are strong and you receive generally positive feedback, you're more likely to see yourself as worthwhile and have healthier self-esteem. If you receive mostly negative feedback and are often criticized, teased or devalued by others, you're more likely to struggle with poor self-esteem," says the Mayo Clinic.
