Nicole Martin in Bathing Suit Says "Take Me Back"

1. She Wants To Inspire Others

Martin told The List that she was approached by a friend who works in television to be a cast member on The Real Housewives of Miami. While she was ambivalent at first, she agreed to appear on the show to share her story with viewers. “At first, I was like, ‘You're crazy. This is not for me,’ but then she made a lot of really interesting points. She pointed out, ‘You've had a really unique upbringing, you've overcome so many challenges, and it's something that's really inspiring to young people. And there aren't a lot of very glamorous young women that children can look up to nowadays. It's a lot of influencers and people on social media and everything always looks really glamorous, but your story is challenging. And if you have the courage to share that with people, you can really inspire women to overcome anything.’"

When Martin shared her story with her cast members, she said to The List that the moment helped her accept her past and make peace with it. “We're talking about years of repressed feelings and emotions that I'd never really dealt with before. And being on the show put this pressure on me to deal with the elephant that was sitting in the room for so many years, and so I'm very thankful for the opportunity that forced me to address these kind of repressed issues that have been sitting around for years, that I probably would've never dealt with, had it not been for the show and my son.”

3. She’s Organized

Martin has a lot on her plate. From filming Real Housewives, to her career as an anesthesiologist, to her family, she has a lot of things to do. However, she tells E! News that she stays organized, and is able to get everything done. "As a full-time anesthesiologist, busy mom, and new cast member on the Real Housewives of Miami, time is tight, but if you stay organized, set specific, achievable goals you'll be surprised at how much you can accomplish!"

Martin revealed some of her favorite essential life and wellness products with E! News. One of her favorites is the TriggerPoint Foam Roller. Martin says that she loves to use this each morning, especially after exercising. "Call it part of the aging process or postpartum body changes, but my hips and backs hurt! I've found that stretching and foam rolling really help loosen my muscles. Just a few minutes in the morning have made a huge difference, especially after a heavy workout.”

5. She Owns A Portable Blender

Another of Martin’s essential products that she shared with E! News was a portable blender from BlendJet. She says that this comes in handy when she’s on the road, and it helps her eat healthy. "With traveling usually comes all the delicious (not so healthy) food and drinks. Even on the road, I try to make clean decisions when it comes to food. If getting healthier is one of your goals, a portable blender is a great idea.”

Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress and the occurrence of memory deficits declines.

2. She Works Out

Exercise is also a big part of Nicole’s life. She captioned one photo from the gym, “just minding my own business,” showing off her “#transformation.” How much should you move?

Nicole eats healthy, most of the time. She does indulge in the occasional cheat meal. Her go to? McDonalds. “Two things love me & feed me,” she captioned this post.

4. She Takes Saunas

While some claim the health benefits of saunas are plentiful, including detoxification, increased metabolism, weight loss, increased blood circulation, pain reduction, antiaging, skin rejuvenation, improved cardiovascular function, improved immune function, improved sleep, stress management, and relaxation, there isn’t a lot of research backing up the claims.

5. She Boxes

Nicole also enjoys boxing. “First day back at boxing,” she captioned one of her posts. What is so great about fitness boxing? "This kind of boxing has many health benefits, because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital tells Harvard Health."You're swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength. And when you're in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you're strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs.”

When it comes to acting, Harold wants to represent people. During her time on Eastenders, her character developed a brain tumor. She opened up about what this was like to The One Show. “It’s been a massive responsibility to be given this storyline by the show,” she said. Just because it’s affected so many people. Especially me starting the story, I didn’t realise just how many that it does and how little awareness there is and how little funding there actually is for brain tumour research.”
