Martha Stewart reveals exactly what she does to look and feel so great

Martha Stewart is on the move.

The beloved celebrity chef is taken to her next appointment when she has exclusive contact We weekly. One of her luxuries, as she explains, is having a driver who regularly transports her between Manhattan and her famous estate in Bedford, New York.

Her driver’s authority is momentarily increased when he is quickly sent back inside at the start of our conversation, once Stewart remembers that she left without taking her vitamins.

Stewart knows more than anyone about expanding responsibilities and shares much of her own life-tested advice in the 101 books she’s written during her 40-plus year entertainment career. Before consulting on food, she served as a model and worked as a stockbroker. Light catering jobs in the 1970s led to the publication of her first cookbook in 1982, the recently reissued Entertainingwhich took her on the path of TV chef, magazine editor, reality host, home goods designer, winemaker and CBD gummy supplier.

And of course that’s not even the half of it.

At some point, Stewart made contact Lee Schragerwhich the South Beach Wine and Food Festival 25 years ago, and their mutual friendship ensured that Martha’s presence took many of those same festivals to a higher level. That collaboration continues to this day and on Saturday, February 21, the lifestyle guru providing lunch bee Joe’s stone crab.

“Food has become so egalitarian and interest in food is so much more widespread than it was 25 years ago,” says Stewart. Us only when we think about how food culture has evolved.

The public’s appetite for food – and for Stewart – has become voracious over the past quarter century. Is there a more marketable, more in-demand octogenarian in our country? The lifestyle queen’s presence on a carpet provides an elegant stamp of approval, whether it’s the Art Party at the Whitney Museum in New York, or the premiere for FX’s Love storythe much talked about Ryan Murphy project about JFK Jr. And Carolyn Besette.

And in recent years she has collaborated with a mix of youthful and prestigious brands, including American Eagle, Kohler, Goldbelly, BIC and Liquid Death. Stewart has the luxury of working with partners she truly believes in, all while having fun doing it. When she describes how impressive and educational the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival is, she says she knows Miami is “a lot of fun” — but that doesn’t mean she’s more relaxed these days.

“I care about everything even more than I used to,” Stewart says, laughing. “I’m extremely picky about details, I’m extremely picky about taste and I’m extremely picky about things being done to the best of their ability.”

Stewart is often fascinated by TikTok creators in far-flung lands, who use clever cooking hacks for complicated dishes without “sacrificing quality or content.” She needs all the extra time she can get due to her admittedly crazy schedule. A friend and former employee, Louise Felix, revealed in a 2024 CNN docuseries that when Stewart started her catering business in the 1970s, “she was someone who could function on three hours of sleep.”

Unbelievable, that hasn’t changed. Stewart reveals that she still only gets three to four hours of sleep at night. She explains that she isn’t sleeping well, but knows she needs to rest, so she lies down to do research and read or watch videos, recent TV shows, and movies. Stewart acknowledges that this may not be best for an individual from a medical professional’s standpoint, but adds that she may get an extra hour of sleep in the car during her commute.

With this short nap, we were confused how anyone could look as good as Stewart in her signature pouty-lip selfies, and she happily explained her nighttime routine for Us.

“The most important thing you do is thoroughly cleanse your face before applying your serum and night cream,” she says. “I use a very delicate camellia oil or there are a few companies that make nice oils, like Tatja. I put that all over my face, because I usually put on makeup during the day for a TV appearance or photo shoot, so I have mascara on and everything, and it all comes off with the oil and a very warm, wet washcloth. And then I put an ice cold cloth on my face, and then I put on my serum, and then I put on a good…the directions say like a pea-sized blob Elm Biosciences Night CreamI probably put 3 pea sizes [laughs] of night cream everywhere, all over my face and my neck and my décolleté.”

Stewart emphasizes that this night cream is transformative and helps with the texture, firmness and overall ‘beauty’ of the skin. She lists a number of men who she says are magic, which I take as a gentle hint.

Stewart also says she gets a facial about every three weeks Mario Badescuwhich she has been visiting for 45 years.

Stewart does Reformer Pilates every other day with a private teacher at 6:30 am. She meets her trainer Shawn every morning when she’s not doing Pilates at his studio, where they do “pretty tough weight workouts” that challenge but engage her.

Stewart’s longtime massage therapist made house calls has frustratingly moved to Michigan, so now she’s forced to trek to Mount Kisco once or twice a week for an hour-long massage at a facility that offers foot, leg, back and body work.

Stewart also insists she eats very well. “I don’t eat junk food,” she says. Someone handed a hungry Stewart a bag of chips when she was working at QVC the day before our interview, which she shared Us didn’t interest her “at all”.

“I’m not much of a snacker. I like good, tasty food,” she said. If fans doubted Stewart’s aversion to junk food, she shared everything she ate for dinner the night before, after someone dared to offer the domestic doyenne chips.

“I ate a can of really good sardines and half a fresh mozzarella,” she said. “I ate a chicory salad with fresh dressing that I made myself, some watermelon and some seeds from a whole pomegranate. I love pomegranates and eat one a day.”

If fans want to eat like the lifestyle goddess, she’ll be serving a lot more than pomegranate seeds and no chips when she opens her second restaurant, The Bedford, at Foxwoods Resort Casino in March. The first location in Las Vegas offers dishes “inspired by Martha’s personal recipes and garden-fresh philosophy” and the new location will do the same, but in Connecticut.

While no one has done life quite like Stewart, many have tried. And for her part, the former TV presenter is not curious about anyone following in her footsteps.

“I don’t know what they do,” she replies, when asked about the many female celebrity chefs following the path she is on. “We’re just going to stay focused on what we need to do. We still have a lot to do, a lot of projects to complete and new projects to start. That’s what I’m focusing on, not on who’s doing what. But good luck to them.”
