Psych Star Sutton Foster Shares Swimsuit Photo of “Final Days Of Summer”

1. No Restrictive Diets

Foster has a healthy relationship with food. "My food philosophy is everything in moderation; I have found that restriction doesn’t work for me," she says. "As soon as I tell myself that I can’t eat something, I just want it more. I don’t believe in the word diet. I think it’s more about having a healthy lifestyle, so I like being conscious and not restrictive. I cook things that I crave… I love real milk. I grew up drinking milk, but I have a dairy sensitivity, so we drink Lactaid, which is real milk but doesn’t have lactose so it doesn't upset my stomach. There’s a gluten-free granola that I like. I’m not gluten-free, I just like it because it’s really crunchy. [For lunch] I’ll do half a turkey sandwich that I’ll share with my husband. I also do smoothies with peanut butter, bananas, strawberries, and more Lactaid."

2. Love For Exercise

Foster has learned to love working out and how it makes her feel. “I think of fitness as being about heart health and staying strong and agile,” she says. That actually makes me go to the gym. I used to hate it and you couldn’t drag me there, but now I can’t stand it if I don’t go, which seems weird. Now it’s become more routine, like brushing my teeth. I never thought I would get that way. I’m trying to integrate yoga more into my life, and I was recently introduced to tai chi. It’s hard because when you live in New York City, you don’t have enough time in the day, so usually mindfulness is the first thing to go, because you’re like, I need to get the best bang for my buck so I’m going to go take a spin class or work out with a trainer. But the mindful thing that’s slow and quiet — I’ve realized I need to make more time for that in my life.”

3. Skincare Expert

Foster started taking care of her skin at a young age. “I love face creams, lotions and potions. I love a brand called Skyn Iceland,” she says. “They really cater to sensitive skin. They have these eye patches that are really great, an awesome day cream and night cream, and a great daily lotion that’s cooling, so in the morning when you have to wake up early you put it on and you’re like, Woo! It’s kind of got this tingle to it. But every night when I go to bed, I make sure to wash my face, and I’m constantly trying new things. I’m trying really hard to age gracefully, and I get facials and stuff, but I haven’t done anything other than just try to take good care of my skin.”

4. Healthy Snacks

Foster loves healthy snacks with occasional treats. "If I snack, I’ll grab a banana or clementines," she says. "There’s something about the citrus that satisfies. I’m also a sucker for pistachios, and my husband makes really good popcorn. Several times a week we’ll watch a movie and I’m always texting him the popcorn emoji so he’ll start making it. We always have little squares of chocolate in a bowl. I have a square or two of chocolate and then I’m good… One of my proudest achievements is that I make homemade tomato sauce with tomatoes I grow from my garden. I made a homemade bolognese sauce that sits on the stove all day. I serve it over spaghetti and it's delicious."

5. Trying New Things

Foster says trying new things is key to a youthful attitude. “That’s what keeps you young — trying new things,” she says. “Because that’s what youth is: everything being new. When you’re in your 20s, it’s your first apartment, your first job, your first love. There’s all these firsts, and when you get older, you’re like, I remember when, and you have all these stories. But what’s something new that I can learn now? That’s why I just started learning tai chi – it’s terrifying and new, but I’ve never done that before. I also drink a lot of water, and I try to sleep a lot, too.”

Sutton Stracke is steaming up the shoreline – in her bathing suit. In a recent social media post the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shows off her incredible body and chiseled abs while lounging on the beach in St. Barths with her “friend forever” Gaby Sifter. “You look like a teenager in that second pic,” commented one of her followers. “Cutie,” added another. How does the reality star stay looking forever young? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits.

1. Golfing

Sutton is an avid golfer. “Finally! A day off. Golf lesson Oceanside. Happy #humpday,” she captioned this photo from an oceanfront course. A comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that golf's health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

2. Botox

According to Sutton, castmate Kyle Richards “dragged” her to get Botox for the first time a few years ago. “I had never gotten Botox before. I was 47 and I had never done it!” she told Page Six Style. “Kyle dragged me to go get Botox with Nurse Jamie.”

3. Beauty Roller

Nurse Jamie introduced Sutton to a beauty tool that she uses regularly. “And that’s actually how I ended up getting my roller,” she said about the Nurse Jamie Instant UpLift Massaging Beauty Roller she uses to quell anxiety. The device has a rotating head covered with 24 tourmaline stones to help improve skin tone and texture.

4. Focusing on Inner Beauty

Sutton chooses to focus on her insides rather than her outsides. “We can get so fixated on that. I mean, we all want to look good and we all want to stay young,” Sutton told Page Six Style. “But really, I think our youthfulness comes from our heart.” She tries to teach her daughter these types of lessons. “I have a daughter and so I want to make sure that she learns from me. The biggest lesson is that looks are secondary. Who you are as a person is first and how you live your life, being a leader and leading by example is what’s most important. Because you can look amazing, but it doesn’t matter if you’re a terrible person.”

5. No Ozempic

Sutton has denied taking Ozempic to lose weight. “So fun. Thanks for having me! No Covid, not on Ozempic, I do eat!” she wrote in the comment section of since-deleted Instagram post, after someone accused her of using the weight loss drug. “Jeff, you’re always a blast and I couldn’t love [Doug Budin] more (see you in the store on Monday).”

1. Training Before the Jungle

Boatwright made sure she was prepared for the hardships of the jungle before taking part in Survivor season 11 in Guatemala. “I trained really hard before I left, working out with a trainer and really preparing myself for the physical challenges I knew I would face in the jungle,” she says. “I also worked on puzzles to prepare my mind and watched all prior seasons of the show and read books on it, as well.”

2. Puzzle Challenges

Boatwright says her biggest weakness when it comes to Survivor is doing puzzles. “I can be the first to the puzzle, and since I knew I was coming on, I've been doing puzzles,” she says. “Like, my eight-year-old beats me at puzzles. So I don't know how much I've improved. It's just because I've never had a passion for them. I'm so ADD and I'm just always on the go, I never sit down to figure those things out, so I've never had any interest in them. Since I knew I was coming back on, I've been working, working, working on them, so we'll see if maybe I have improved in that area.”

3. Swimming Model

Boatwright once took part in a photo campaign for Speedo Swimwear. “During my modeling career I did an international campaign for Speedo Swimwear that featured all Olympic swimmers—and then lil’ ol’ me,” she says. “I was booked because Speedo thought I had the physique of a swimmer. Guess I missed my calling in life! Maybe I could’ve been an Olympic medalist!”

4. Back On TV

Boatwright was thrilled to return for Survivor: Winners at War 29 seasons after winning in Guatemala. “I don't think, really, I've changed as a person,” she says. “Like, I'm still that same person. My values haven't changed. The only thing that's changed is becoming a wife and a mother, which I think really works great for helping prepare you for Survivor. Because just raising kids, it's a lot of work, a lot of dedication, and a lot of patience. I feel like I'm constantly hunting down hidden immunity idols because I'm trying to find a shoe or a sock or a uniform. So, I've had some practice there. Then, just in being married, marriage is a lot of work. It has great rewards, but it's definitely… you've got to work at it just like you do in the game of Survivor with your relationships you have.”

5. Losing 30 Pounds

Boatwright lost 30 pounds during the 2005 competition, which she made a point of regaining once she was back home again. “We had a wonderful cast. Unfortunately, since tribes swapped I got to meet some other people and it was really great fun as far as that goes, but those conditions were just brutal,” she says. “I mean, I lost 30 pounds. So, at 5'10" I came home 96 pounds. That's awful. Just diarrhea, we were sick from the lake water and we had to eat maggot-infested corn because maggots got into our corn and it was bad. Really bad.”

1. Acting Dreams

Booth knew she wanted to act from an early age. “I always sort of loved performing for my family when I was really little,” she says. “When I was twelve, I auditioned for Huron Country Playhouse, which is a summer stock theater in Grand Bend, Ontario, and I was cast as an orphan in the musical Annie. It was that summer when I was walking into the first rehearsal and saw the adults there, and I don’t know why I’d never put two and two together before while watching TV, but it was like a light bulb went off for me, and I was like, 'Wait a second. You can actually do this for a living?' And that was it. And I was like, 'That’s what I wanna do.'”

2. Her Perfect Saturday

Booth loves to just relax on the weekends. “My perfect Saturday would mean slightly sleeping in—to like, 10 a.m. I’d get up and have an almond milk latte that I make here with my little Nespresso machine that I love,” she says. “Then my husband and I would get the dogs all leashed up and go for a walk. We’d come back and probably go out for brunch to Bonjour Brioche—it’s on Queen Street East. My husband and I both love pancakes so we’d probably end up having them with fresh squeezed orange juice or something like that. Maybe a side of bacon, too—gotta have some protein!”

3. Horror Movie Fan

Booth is a big movie buff, enjoying both rom coms and scary flicks. “I have my favorites that I watch: The Princess Bride and Bridget Jones’s Diary,” she says. “Those are two of my go to feel-good movies. My best friend and I have a bit of a weird obsession with horror films, so generally when I’m at home she’ll come over and all three of us will sit around and watch really bad horror movies, like the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street. It’s so bad. It’s awful. But then there are some really great ones. We just watched the original—I think it’s Swedish—of Let the Right One In. I like to be scared—to sit for two or three hours on the sofa with my stomach in knots.”

4. Playing Ethel Kennedy

Booth once played Ethel Kennedy on The Kennedys and took it seriously. “Well, you know, the first time around, it kind of haunted me a little bit–I’m not gonna lie,” she says. “And even almost more so the second time. You’re portraying someone who lived this life, who is a part of history, who is still alive, and you obviously want to do them justice and portray them as close to who they are or who they were at that time as possible. I pored over biographies and books about the Kennedys, videos and all sorts of research material in order to create this character who then became Ethel Kennedy.”

5. Bubble Baths

Booth sometimes enjoys a bath as part of a relaxing Saturday. “Sometimes I’ll take a bath before bed—I do enjoy a good bubble bath,” she says. “I like lavender essential oil in it to help me sleep. But usually it’s just us crawling into bed and passing out. I’m sort of religious about washing my face before I go to sleep. But I will admit that on more than one occasion on a Saturday, I will skip that. That’s why I have towelettes on my nightstand!”
