Namita Nayyar:
Are you on a special diet that allows you to remain so healthy and physically fit?
Elizabeth Marshall:
I see a local doctor who used to compete in bodybuilding competitions six to eight weeks out if I want to prepare for something specific, like a photo shoot. He writes me a very specific diet plan that I follow for several weeks leading up to the event. When I’m not prepping for something specific, I usually eat in a keto/low carb fashion, eating REAL food, and having a cheat meal once every 7-10 days.
Namita Nayyar:
Five foods you absolutely love and five you keep it to a minimum.
Elizabeth Marshall:
As far as eating healthy is concerned, I love sweet potatoes with cinnamon and sweetener, medium rare steak, chicken salad (in moderation or without too much Mayo), salmon, and monk fruit sweetener (the best tasting natural sweetener that I’ve found). I avoid empty calories and foods with processed white sugar, ingredients that I can’t pronounce, high fructose corn syrup, stuff with a long list of unnatural ingredients, and soda, both diet and regular.

You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Share with us your hair care and skincare routine.
Elizabeth Marshall:
I’m a huge fan of treating both my hair and my skin from the inside out, so I start my routine by taking collagen capsules and a supplement called Nutrafol, which helps to make my hair stronger, longer and healthier after several months of regular use. I’m strict about a daytime and nighttime skin care routine, I always take off my makeup before bed, and I always use sunscreen during the day, no matter where I am or what I’m doing. It’s much easier to practice preventative skincare than it is to address and fix damage later on in life.
Namita Nayyar:
Five skincare myths.
Elizabeth Marshall:
Tanning booths are safe and don’t cause aging or skin cancer. Both are untrue.
The higher the SPF, the better the protection. You should use a minimum of 30, but anything over SPF 50 is unnecessary.
Expensive skin care products work best. In reality, most ingredients found in anti-aging skincare are similar whether they cost a little or a lot.
You don’t need sunscreen on a cloudy day. UV radiation is always present, whether it’s cloudy or not.
I’m protected all day if I wear makeup then has sun protection. You’re protected for a while, but sunblock should be reapplied every two hours, whether it’s on your face or your body. Lots of makeup companies make mineral sunblock in a powder form that applies seamlessly over makeup, so it’s easier than ever to make sure you’re reapplying sun protection the way that you should.
