Jo Wood reveals secrets to staying slim at 70 – mushroom powder, no food before midday and avoiding supermarkets

by

When she was married to musician Ronnie Wood, she often joined him on tour to encourage healthier eating and try to curb his more excessive behavior.

Jo Wood, at age 70, shared her tips for staying healthy and fit: she uses mushroom powders, doesn’t eat until after noon, and prefers to avoid shopping at supermarkets.

The wellness expert and former model, married to the Rolling Stones musician for 24 years before their divorce in 2008, maintains a healthy diet, sourcing most of her food from local farmers’ markets, and occasionally shopping at Waitrose.

She begins each day with either a matcha or decaf latte, and she adds one of several unusual mushroom and herb powder blends to it.

She mentioned that Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, Astragalus, He Shou Wu, Maca, and Reishi are among her preferred choices.

She told Closer magazine that she typically doesn’t eat until noon, and usually just has something small and easy to hold her over until dinner.

Sometimes I’ll have mashed banana on whole-wheat toast with a little olive oil and cinnamon. Other times, I prefer kefir with honey and banana.

The actress, originally from Essex, explained that she usually eats a light and healthy dinner, often featuring wild-caught cod and a cucumber sandwich.

Jo mentioned she might have a small piece of Green & Black’s chocolate after dinner as a little reward.

Okay, so Jo? She’s amazing, and she gets all her produce from the best places! Forget the supermarket stuff, she’s all about Wylde Market – it’s this incredible online farmers’ market. And get this – she gets a Riverford box delivered, packed with the freshest fruits and veggies! Honestly, it’s how everyone should shop, she’s so right about this!

She mentioned she sometimes shops at Waitrose, but generally prefers to avoid supermarkets.

Jo has been committed to an all-organic lifestyle for several years, including what she eats. She started her own organic cosmetics line in 2005 and now also runs an interior design business.

I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease back in 2005, and honestly, it really changed my life. I started exploring natural ways to feel better, and one of the biggest things that helped was completely eliminating processed foods from my diet. It made a huge difference in managing my symptoms, and it’s something I’ve stuck with ever since.

She has strongly criticized weight loss injections, stating they are not a healthy option for women in middle age.

Ms. Wood first met her future husband, a famous musician, at a party in 1977. They eventually married in 1985 and had three children: Jamie, who is 51, Leah, 47, and Tyrone, 42.

I was absolutely devastated when I found out he left her in 2008. Apparently, he was having an affair with this girl, Ekaterina Ivanova – she was only 24, a waitress from Russia, and it just… it completely broke my heart to think about it. I couldn’t believe he’d do that!

The musician is happily married to Sally Wood, a 48-year-old theatre producer, and they have eight-year-old twin daughters, Gracie and Alice.

I’ve followed Jo’s life for a while now, and it’s been quite a ride since her divorce! She’s definitely dated a few people, but as far as I know, she’s been single since things ended with Jameson Stocks, her chef boyfriend, back in 2023.
