1. She Shows Self Control
A big one is that she shows restraint. When she spends time at home with her son, they love to bake. When the treats come out, smelling incredible, not many people could resist, but she does. "I’m just kind of helping cook and taking a bit," Madison told Bravo Insider. When it comes to maintaining balance and moderation in her daily diet, she explained, "I try to stay pretty healthy."
2. She’ll Cleanse When Necessary
Madison will do occasional cleanses where she eliminates or cuts back on foods like carbs and sugar, in addition to alcohol. She admits that she "started off [self] quarantine not healthy.” "I just started to feel really bad. I just said, 'This has got to stop, so I’m gonna make these foods and I’m gonna eat this kale salad and eat grilled chicken and broccoli four days a week, or whatever it was, and no alcohol for 14 days.'" She admits that it was very tough, but worth it.
3. She’s Mindful With Workouts and Her Diet
Just like being mindful with what she eats, this plays into her fitness as well. "I work out with a guy named Gunnar, who has been a friend of mine for so long,” she says. “Him and his girlfriend are great. They help me with meal plans and stuff like that just to keep me on track because they know that I’ve worked hard," she explained. "I would say he’s more of an accountability coach, which I appreciate 'cause sometimes I can get into the work mode and mom mode and put the health on the back burner."
4. She Considers It A Lifestyle
As she often shares on her social media, she considers health and wellness a lifestyle. "I try to work out at least four days a week, sometimes it’s three days,” she says. “It’s all generally mental health for me, I crave it. I definitely feel that it makes me a little bit less on edge," she said. She works out of the Charleston gym called HYLO and makes time for classes to feed her competitive edge. "I love working out with other people, all ages, all sizes, because when the girl beside me is giving me a run for my money, you know I’m running fast," she said. "I’m like, 'OK, girl. Let’s go.'" According to the Mayo Clinic, exercise is crucial for helping with anxiety and depression symptoms.
5. She Loves Celery Juice

Like so many things, when you’re building these habits consistency is key. "I always try to do some kind of juice in the morning. I do celery juice for skin purposes. I don’t have the best skin so I try doing that," she explained. "I’m pretty mindful about whatever I eat."
