1. She Wakes Up Early to Workout
Kim frequently posts 6am workouts. Try them. “If you are a person who doesn’t mind working out in the morning, there are many reasons why this can help spike your metabolism. One of the first biological reasons working out in the morning can be effective is the increased levels of testosterone (especially in males) that happen first thing when you wake up. Overnight our bodies begin to increase their testosterone production. Because of this, our testosterone levels are highest upon awakening. As you may or may not know, testosterone is the hormone that promotes muscle growth. The more testosterone we have in our bodies while working out, the more efficient our bodies will be at muscle production. Taking advantage of this morning boost of testosterone can help build muscle more efficiently,” reports NIFS.
2. She Aims to Eat “Healthier”

“For me, I just always want to try to eat healthier,” Kim has said. She, for a time at least, was eating mostly plant-based foods. Consider it. Here’s why: You understand how cavities come about, right? When you eat sugary foods, that sugar sticks to your teeth. Bacteria in your mouth digest the sugar, and that process causes damage to the tooth enamel, which leads to cavities. Brush your teeth often, floss, and eat less sugar, and presto—fewer cavities. Well, imagine that your belly works the same way. Bad bacteria in your gut feed off sugar, just like the bacteria in your mouth. And a Harvard study recently found that a diet based primarily on animal protein—especially one that involves lots of food packaging and burger wrappers—can quickly alter the delicate balance of microbes in your belly as well. Even a short-term change in the balance between animal products and plant products can cause rapid changes in your belly.
3. She Drinks Oat and Nut Milks

Kim’s fridge has oat and nut milks. The non-dairy options can be great to reduce bloating. Almond and coconut milk are commonly available in most markets, but don’t hesitate to experiment with whatever non-dairy milks are on hand at your local market: hazelnut, hemp, rice, and oat milk all can add a creamy dimension to any recipe. One to avoid: soy milk. Soy is particularly high in naturally occurring compounds called estrogenics, which raise estrogen levels and lower testosterone levels, which promotes fat storage. That doesn’t mean you need to avoid soy at all costs, but most Americans eat far more soy than they know.
4. She Starts Her Morning With Oatmeal

Kim has said she starts her mornings with vegan sausage and oatmeal. Love it. Starting your day with a bowl of slow-burning oatmeal will help to regulate your hunger and provide your body with powerful beta-glucans, compounds that act like bouncers for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, shuttling that bad cholesterol right out of the VIP room that is your belly. And by pairing your oats with fruits rich in vitamin C, you’re going to double the effect—the result of organic compounds called phenols interacting to stabilize cholesterol levels, according to a study published in the journal Nutrition.
5. She Has Used Light Therapy

Kim has used light therapy for her psoriasis. "The disease is something I have learned to live with, but there are still times when I can feel insecure about it—especially on red carpets or at a photo shoot," she writes. "There isn’t a cure for psoriasis, but there are treatments that can help ease the symptoms." “Light therapy is a first-line treatment for moderate to severe psoriasis, either alone or in combination with medications. It involves exposing the skin to controlled amounts of natural or artificial light. Repeated treatments are necessary. Talk with your doctor about whether home phototherapy is an option for you,” says the Mayo Clinic.
