The star of Fox's Emmy-nominated medical drama House gets some good
medicine of her own.

BREAKFAST
I eat. Every day. but I don't do the usual breakfast,
lunch, dinner thing. Each day is different, depending
on the episode we're shooting. When I wake up, I
always drink tons of Guayakí organic yerba maté tea. I
add a few shots of Dr. Foster's Essentials Calcium
from Herbs to feed them bones while I'm ingesting all
the stimulants. After tea, I do Mysore-style Ashtanga
yoga. I can't eat anything beforehand or I'm really,
really uncomfortable. When I get home, I down an
enormous glass of water spiked with Metagenics Ultra
bifidus DF and Ultra dophilus DF for digestive health. It
sounds gross, but it's benign. Some days I'll scarf
down an organic WholeSoy & Co. yogurt or a handful
of organic unsalted roasted almonds.

LUNCH
At work, we have fantastic catering people. They feed
the cast and crew all day, and they're sensitive to the
needs of picky vegetarians like me. They have
delicious salads. I keep mine simple: romaine lettuce,
avocado, baked tofu, carrots, tomatoes and Asian
dressing. I make a similar salad at home, with
romaine, avocado, mango and sesame seeds. later in
the day I grab a double soy latte with vanilla soy milk
and a wisp of chocolate from an organic market near
my house. No day would be complete without
chocolate. My favorite: Vosges Creole bar—it's dark
chocolate with cocoa nibs. Holy Toledo, that thing is good.

DINNER
I try to sit down for one solid meal every day. When I'm home I cook all kinds of vegetarian treats: Indian,
Thai or sometimes just good old Italian. I cook with a lot of tempeh—it's like tofu and made of fermented
soybeans. I brown it in oil with onion, garlic and spices, then I add vegetables: I'm obsessed with broccoli,
carrots, celery, string beans, snap peas, black kale, brussels sprouts, cabbage—I could go on! They used
to call me "rabbit" when I was a kid. I hate mushrooms, though. I apologize to fungi lovers, but this way,
there's more for you!
