Let’s face it—Ellen DeGeneres turns 60, but she doesn’t look a day over 40. Seriously, how does she do it? Fans can’t help but wonder if time has forgotten her altogether. The truth is, Ellen’s not just lucky; she’s put a lot of effort into her lifestyle choices. From her diet to her exercise routine, everything she does contributes to her glowing, youthful appearance.
Ellen’s Vegan Journey: A Commitment to Health and Compassion
Ellen’s decision to go vegan in 2009 wasn’t just about health—it was also about compassion. As an outspoken animal advocate, she felt it was the right choice for her. “Food used to mean everything to me. I adored steak, hamburgers, and all those greasy delights. Looking back, I can’t believe how irresponsible I was,” Ellen confessed to Shape magazine. “Now, I want to feel alive, energetic, and sharp. Switching to a vegan diet wasn’t easy, but it’s been transformative. It’s not a sacrifice—it’s an investment in my future.”
A Healthier Ellen: What Happens When You Clean Up Your Diet
In a heartfelt interview with O magazine, Ellen revealed how her dietary changes have impacted her life. “Since going vegan, I feel so much better about myself. I’m healthier, more energetic, and I haven’t been sick in years. Plus, I’ve lost weight without even trying!” she said. “Of course, it helps that I have a chef who makes delicious vegan meals for me. But for many people, adopting a plant-based diet can be challenging. My advice? Start small and find what works for you.”

And here’s the kicker: Ellen doesn’t touch sweets. Not cake, not cookies, not candy. When asked about her stance on sugar, she told Shape, “Nope, not interested. I’m done with it.” Impressive, right? But what about her wife, Portia de Rossi? Does Portia follow the same regimen? If you know anything about this power couple, you’ll understand they’re on the same page about most things.
Haven’t done this in a while. (Thanks, @MiloAnthonyVentimiglia, for the ride.)
Ellen’s Workout Regimen: Finding Zen Through Power Yoga
When it comes to staying fit, Ellen swears by power yoga. Yes, you read that right—power yoga. “I started doing power yoga in LA, which, honestly, sounds like an oxymoron,” she joked. “Yoga is supposed to be calming, but power yoga is anything but. Still, it works for me. It keeps me strong, flexible, and centered.”
Ellen’s approach to fitness is all about balance. She doesn’t push herself too hard, but she stays consistent. “It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress,” she often says. And who can argue with that? If we can adopt even a fraction of Ellen’s discipline, maybe we’ll look just as fabulous when we hit 60.
