Lea, who identifies as a pescatarian, 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. She Drinks Water with Lemon and Green Juice

“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 revealed to Us. She also has a go-to green drink. “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.”

It's by far my most favorite form of working out,” she wrote in a July 2021 blog for Story + Rain. “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.”

Lea used to be more concerned with her clothing size, but now she focuses on 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.
