Trish Stratus is a legendary wrestler. To celebrate Pride Month, Stratus did a new photoshoot. She shared a photo of herself on Instagram. In it, she wore workout gear with Pride colors. Stratus captioned the post, “Happy Pride Month! Check out the pics @themattycox and I snapped to celebrate the love!”
1. She Eats Healthy
Stratus makes sure to eat healthy. She shared her diet with Real Style Magazine. “We eat mostly organic, unprocessed foods and we don’t have dairy on the regular (as in we don’t drink cow’s milk, but we are okay to an ice cream cone once in a while!). Breakfasts are usually any of the following: eggs, sprouted break, nut butters, oatmeal, and non-dairy yogurt. Lunches and dinners include lean proteins like chicken, grass-fed beef and fish – we usually eat fish 2-3 times a week, quinoa is the favourite grain around here and lots of veggies. Some of my staples for snacks are vegan protein powder, hemp seeds, all nuts and fruit and we use coconut oil, grass-fed butter, and avocado oil to cook our food. Pretty simple, and clean and that allows us to have a cheat here and there with NO guilt! We look forward to our pizza nights and burger nights out.”
2. She Does Yoga
Stratus shared with Real Style Network that she likes to do yoga. “When I’m not training for an event, I have a 20 minute yoga routine which is derived from style of yoga I designed (Stratusphere Yoga), which has callisthenics and strength moves incorporated into a yoga flow, so you get the best of both worlds. I do this every day – I like it as a way to set my intention with my meditation and also if I don’t get a run or outside training session in, I’m still covered.”
3. She Doesn’t Stress Over Wellness
Stratus tells York Region that she has a healthier approach to wellness. “I don’t obsess over it like I used to. Now it’s about keeping up my fitness to give me energy to keep after these kiddies and to set an example. We try as a family to integrate fitness into our daily routine, doing things like taking walks, riding our bikes or having the kids do yoga with me.”
4. She Keeps A Nutrition Journal

Stratus tells Chatelaine that she likes to keep a nutrition journal. “It's a great way to help you realize what’s working in your diet and it keeps you accountable. It's the one tool that I always recommend to people who are looking to start making changes in their eating habits. I've used one consistently for more than 10 years, starting back in my fitness days. Recording everything will give you the best chance to get fit and eat more nuTRISHionally — pun intended!”
5. She’s Motivated
Stratus tells York Region that she is motivated by the desire to prove people wrong. “It is what drove me. Someone once told me, ‘Be so good they can’t ignore you.’ I set out to prove all the doubters wrong. I knew in my heart I could do it, and I never let their doubt get in the way.”
