1. She Believes In Moderation
DiGiulian opened up about her diet in an interview with Men’s Journal. “I believe in everything in moderation,” she said. “Though, I do enjoy red wine and cookies. I am not very strict with myself, especially when I am training hard. I follow a more encompassing - rather than eliminating - diet; making sure I have enough protein and greens throughout the day, more than anything else.”
2. She Has A Lot Of Wellness Products

DiGiulian shared some of her favorite wellness products in her Men’s Journal interview. “When I am home, I am quite regimented. Though, I do travel a lot, and keeping on top of a strict routine can be difficult. I always travel with a ProTec foam roller and also take Green Vibrance powder or a similar product with me since it can be difficult to get all of my green needs met while traveling. I bring a personal blender with me on trips - I just recently bought a BlendJet.”
3. She’s Building A Healthier Body Image
DiGiulian opened up about her struggles with body image in this essay for Outside Online. “I’ve been trying to change the way I think about my body recently. While in the dressing room before a gala, I need to remind myself: these lats that are preventing my dress from zipping up are the tools that I have to do my sport. They are what set me apart; they make me unique. From my crooked, callused fingers to my bunion toes, my body is my own. I do not owe this look to anyone else.”
4. She Wants To Support Other Women
DiGiulian opened up about her desires to support and be inspired by other women in her Outside Online essay. “When I am in a room full of accomplished female athletes, representatives of different sports with an array of different accomplishments, like I was before the gala last fall, I feel powerful on the inside. We as women need to accept ourselves and each other and to support each other; to see each other not as competitors, but as a part of a movement to redefine standards.”
5. She Builds Muscle
DiGiulian shared some of her favorite workouts that help with her climbing in this Instagram video. A lot of them focus on muscle-building. In it, DiGiulian is seen doing overhead presses, squats, and bench presses with barbells. She captioned the post, “On the grind.”
