I suffered a pretty severe Tibial plateau fracture a few years ago (requiring surgery) which lead the orthopaedic surgeon to give me a bone scan, at which point it was discovered I had the beginning stages of osteopenia. This led my western/eastern doctors in New York to test my ...
“When someone you know is overwhelmed by life, confronted by obstacles that are a little too heavy to carry alone, it’s easy to feel unsure of how to respond. That’s the time to remember it’s not what you do, but that you do something. Often, we don’t realize that wha...
A couple of my friends have asked me to gather some information on an often vexing issue for men and women alike: hair - health, styles, and otherwise. I have asked our very knowledgeable contributors for their tips and tricks of the trade, which are simple and (very) helpful....
I have just traversed the globe doing promotion for Ironman 2, getting asked the same question repeatedly: how did I get in shape for the movie? Well, I am not going to lie, the process was an arduous one. I asked my business partner and trainer Tracy Anderson if she would share ...
Basically everyone I know is knackered, me included. But I didn't imagine that there could be health problems associated with not getting a good night’s rest. I recently read a book called “Light’s Out: Sleep, Sugar and Survival” by T.S. Wiley which talks about the negati...

My New Year’s resolution is to learn how to meditate. It’s always sounded like something I should do, but I don’t know how to. My friends who do it say it’s really freakin’ brilliant. They say you can’t know the peace/awareness/contentment until you do it. My brain dr...

One day, when being treated by an acupuncturist, a Spanish friend who was visiting me in London walked into the room and remarked that I looked like a bull who’d had a run in with the picadores (the dudes on horseback who stick the bull with many little knives to rile him up be...
Today I bring you some tips and wisdom from the people who trick you all into thinking I am a semi-presentable woman. Harry and Prema are two of the foremost hair and makeup artists in the world and they are also dear friends. I asked them, along with Cheri Keating, to give us al...
Spring is springing! The optimism inherent in the first blossoms says it all - that is, until you realize that bathing suit season is closer than you think. As it is wholly unrealistic to follow those "10 Days to a Bathing Suit-Ready Body" routines expecting to actually achieve a...
I went to see Dr. Frank Lipman a few months ago when I was in New York City. I was very run-down and my immune system was not bouncing back. It was then, among some other pretty great treatments, that Dr. Lipman gave me a copy of his book, Spent. At the time, the firs...
I think we all begin the new year with thoughts of things we would like to improve, learn, be more disciplined about, cut out of our diets. In January 2007 I decided I’d had enough of my saddlebags and post-pregnancy Shar-Pei-like stomach. I met an incredible woman who changed ...
In 1998, I was filming The Talented Mr. Ripley in Ischia, a little island off the coast of Naples in Italy. I got a call that changed my life. My father had been diagnosed with throat cancer, and it was stage four. Although he underwent treatment and survived for anot...
