If there’s one thing Lindsay Lohan is clear on these days, it’s this: Feeling good starts from the inside out. The actress and new mom is leaning all the way into routines that support her energy, gut health, and overall balance—and she’s got some refreshingly realistic tips to show for it.
Lohan exclusively spoke with SELF to share her go-to habits for staying consistent, feeling strong, and actually enjoying the process.
1. She treats gut health like a daily ritual.
Lohan isn’t just casually into wellness—she’s intentional about it. “I’m very focused on gut health and health drinks, and any kind of replacements that I can use to put healthier things in my body at all times,” she tells SELF. Her go-to is Health-Ade, the popular probiotic tea that is linked to benefits like better digestion and reduced inflammation.
Lohan keeps up her energy with a mix of morning tonics and strategic midday boosts. “I have my routines every morning—my green tea when I get up, maybe some sort of ginger, turmeric, lemon, olive oil shot that I mix,” she says. And later: “I like to have kombucha after lunch. So it’s almost like a snack in a way, but it fills that kind of gap.”
2. She found a workout she actually likes (and sticks with it).
After years of on-and-off gym habits, Lohan finally landed on something that clicks: Pilates. “It took me a while to find something that I loved and could be consistent with,” she says. “I’m one of those people who will go to the gym, but I need to have a trainer to force me to do it.”
The days of forcing yourself to do grueling workouts that you actually hate are over. Research shows that the secret to a consistent workout routine has always been to genuinely enjoy it.
“I actually really love going to do Pilates, and it’s such a nice me-time to have. And I love the results that I get. It’s really relaxing for me.” She aims for two to three sessions a week—and more when she can.
3. When it comes to food, she’s a flexitarian.
Lohan’s approach to eating is all about balance, not restriction. “I like to eat a lot of good proteins and greens. I like to eat clean because I feel better,” she says.
