Gisele Bundchen stopped by the View yesterday to promote her new cookbook and discuss her health journey, including her batter with depression and panic attacks in her early 20’s.
After becoming a model at age 14, Gisele found her schedule packed with work and travel. However, I wasn’t focusing on my health.
Gilsele told the ladies of The View-“I wasn’t really paying attention,” “I was just going, like, 100 miles an hour—until I start having severe panic attacks in my early 20s and I didn’t know what to do. It had been over a year and a half, and I was going to all the specialists. I wanted to feel better. I didn’t know what to do.”
So, she decided to change what she ate.
“I told him about my day,” “‘I drink, I smoke, I have coffee,’ whatever. And he says, ‘Listen, Adrenalina,’—he called me Adrenalina. He’s like, ‘Stop right there.’ He says, ‘You’re not sleeping. You’re like in different time zones all the time. You’re eating, like, terrible all day.’ I mean, I was the type of person who was just, ‘As long as it’s in the supermarket, it’s great for me to eat.’ Anything. I was just like, ‘Let me eat it.’ With comfort food, you’re traveling, you’re tired. The doctor advised her to get at least eight hours of sleep a night and to exercise daily.
Gisele has a new book “Nourish”: Simple recipes to empower your body and feed your soul, out March 26.
