She explains that eating healthy should be a lifesyle. “It’s not rocket science, it’s the basics,” she told Us magazine. “If you’re always taking good care of yourself, and if you’re always eating right…then no matter what comes up, you don’t feel like you need to adjust or increase or anything.”

Lea is a pescatarian and has a very clean approach to diet. “Every single thing that I put into my body is to nourish and fuel my body,” she told Us. “I’ve always felt that food is fuel so what you’re eating is going to help your body. So I don’t eat junk food, I don’t eat processed food. I keep only fresh and healthy ingredients in my home so I can feel my absolute best.”

3. Drink Lots of Fluids

“The first thing I do when I wake up is pour a big glass of lemon water to just really flush my system and start the day right,” she explained to Us. She also drinks green. “Celery juice is so incredibly good for your body but it’s actually for your liver and it’s a great cleanse first thing in the morning,” she said. “I’ve seen it improve my digestion so much, so that’s another little trick that I’ve been doing in the morning as well.”

In a July 2021 blog for Story + Rain, Lea explained why she is a devoted yogi. “I've been practicing yoga since I was 19 years old. It's by far my most favorite form of working out,” she wrote. “But I practice not only for my body, yoga has helped my mind more than anything I've ever tried before. It centers and grounds me, and connects me to myself at my core. As soon as I wake up, before the baby or anyone else is awake, I take out my mat and do a quick yoga flow. even just for five minutes. It gets my blood flowing, and helps me to feel energized for the day.”

5. Try Mind-Body Workouts

Lea revealed to Health that she tries to do exercises that also challenge her mind. “I like workouts with a spiritual element—whether it’s SoulCycle or hot yoga,” she said. She also enjoys outdoor exercise. “I hike all the time,” she told Us. “We have so many great trails here on the West Coast so I love being outdoors and I love getting a workout outside.”

6. Strive for Healthy, Not Thin

Lea used to focus on being skinny, but now she prioritizes her health. “I feel like I am at the healthiest place in my entire life. It’s not that I’m the thinnest, because I’m not the thinnest I’ve been. But when I was the thinnest, I was not being the healthiest,” she told Health. “I’m definitely the most mentally, physically, and spiritually sound that I’ve ever been,” she explained.
