Pattison employs the services of a life coach, something she highly recommends. "I've got a life coach, if you're in a position to get someone like that, I really would advise it," she tells Closer UK. "He's transformed my life and he helps me to make sense of everything. Talking through your day and the things you're going through with someone who's neutral on the situation really helps."

Pattison tries to get her exercise out in the fresh air whenever possible. "My life coach always tells me to get out into nature with the trees and to get some fresh air," she says. "I never really put much weight on it until I got my dog, Milo, and just getting out for an hour every day taking him on his walk makes me feel much happier, healthier and more balanced. I advocate fresh air for everybody." The experts agree: Working out outside brings a unique set of benefits. "Light tends to elevate people's mood, and unless you live in a glass house or are using a light box to treat seasonal affective disorder, there's usually more light available outside than in," says Harvard Health. "Physical activity has been shown to relax and cheer people up, so if being outside replaces inactive pursuits with active ones, it might also mean more smiles and laughter."

Pattison is a big fan of healthy, delicious smoothies, especially with spinach. "Spinach has long been regarded as a plant which can restore energy, increase vitality and improve the quality of the blood," says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. "There are good reasons for this, such as the fact that spinach is rich in iron. This mineral plays a central role in the function of red blood cells which help transport oxygen around the body, supports energy production and DNA synthesis. However, high levels of a compound called oxalic acid, naturally found in spinach, appears to inhibit the absorption of minerals like iron; that said, lightly cooking or wilting appears to minimize these effects."

Pattison tends to eat less on days she doesn't work out. "I know a lot of people advocate carb cycling but for me I keep things quite simple – on days I don't train I just eat slightly fewer calories," she says. "It's not something I do proactively, but it's more just a case of when I'm not training I'm just not as hungry. However, this is entirely subjective and I always try and listen to what my body wants."

Pattison believes in having a balanced diet—but she avoids foods that make her feel bad. "I try not to exclude any major food groups as a way to guarantee that I want something is to say I can't have it," she says. "Saying that, I do avoid refined sugars and simple carbs like white bread as there's just no need for them and they make me feel rubbish and lethargic. The only exemption to this is alcohol – and I'll never give that up entirely. Life is for living!"
