And guess what? She’s already laced up her kicks for the next big fad: infrared saunas. But here’s the kicker—her battle with cervical cancer in 2017 turned that wellness hustle into a mission. Now, Erin’s not just hitting the field; she’s championing a nationwide push for cancer screenings, determined to make a real difference. Ready to dive into the health habits fueling this unstoppable force, especially as the NFL season kicks off? Let’s break down what keeps Erin Andrews winning—on and off the clock. LEARN MORE

When it comes to her health, Erin Andrews is willing to go the extra yard. If you ask the NFL broadcaster, WEAR by Erin Andrews creator, and Calm Down podcast host about her favorite wellness habits, she’s quick to rattle off all the ones she’s obsessed with—and, she’s pretty much tried everything. “If you give me a fad, I’m right there,” she says. (Next up on her list? Infrared saunas.)

There are the fun things, like her lengthy supplement regimen, and the vital ones, like never skipping recommended cancer check-ups. For Andrews, being on top of her screenings made all the difference when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2017. “I was able to catch it. I was able to treat it. It was a lot, but it could have been much worse,” she says.

Her passion for getting more people to their recommended screenings shines through as a self-described “nag” to friends and family about making their appointments. It’s also why she’s stepping into a national spokesperson role for Aflac’s Check for Cancer campaign, which aims to increase cancer screenings in the United States by 10 percent over the next ten years by bringing awareness to just how important they are.

Ahead of the NFL season—which reminder, starts tomorrow—Andrews shares the health and wellness habits she practices to get her through her busiest time of year and beyond.

She gets active, especially after getting off a plane.

It’s hard to keep a consistent exercise routine when you’re traveling across the country to cover the NFL every weekend, but Andrews relies on a trick an old hockey coach told her years ago: Once you get to your hotel, instead of collapsing onto your bed (because who doesn’t want to do that?) put your sneakers on and get some movement in. “It’s so important to stay active especially when you travel so much,” she says.

It’s all about keeping that momentum and consistency. In season or not, Andrews tries to work out at least six days per week. “I have to have at least 30 to 45 minutes of exercise a day,” she says. “I’m obsessed with Barry’s, I love circuit training, and I love pilates.” If she can’t find a studio, especially while on the road, Andrews opts for Peloton treadmill workouts.

She takes supplements.

Everyone loves a good supplement, and Andrews is no exception. “I take everything,” she says. Okay, not quite everything, but a lot. You’ll find creatine, prenatal vitamins, omega-3 with CoQ10, magnesium, vitamin C, and collagen powder in her cabinet.

She treats herself after checkups.

Ninety percent of U.S. adults shared that they’ve delayed a checkup or cancer screening in a 2025 Aflac survey. We’re busy—and beyond that, it can bring up a lot of emotions. “A lot of people put off going to the doctor—I get it,” Andrews says. “People don’t want to get bad news.”

Having been the recipient of that bad news, Andrews is nervous every time she goes for her screenings. Since beating cervical cancer, she’s had to go back in for further testing after a doctor flagged an abnormality on a mammogram. “I literally thought I was going to have a panic attack,” she says.

And, while screenings might never feel low-stakes for the journalist, she’s learned a few tricks to keep herself consistent. “You gotta go easy on yourself,” she says. “It’s still stressful for me and that’s why when I get good news, I celebrate. I send a text to my family and say, ‘I’m all good.’” Another way to celebrate? A stop at McDonald’s or a shopping trip, Andrews says.

She gets a NAD+ IV every six weeks.

There’s something Erin Andrews, Hailey Bieber, and your favorite NFL player have in common. They all get NAD+ IVs.

Where players will get a treatment once a week for anti-inflammatory benefits, Andrews opts for one liter about every six weeks, and has been for about a year. “I am obsessed with it right now,” she says.

NAD+ is a molecule that’s responsible for over 500 enzyme functions in your body. It plays a role in energy metabolism and DNA repair and boasts potential benefits including improving heart health, muscle function, and endurance, according to previous WH reporting. Research on the supplement is in early stages, but it’s also believed to promote brain health and longevity—which is where Andrews sees the benefits. “I see it helps with my cognition, immune system, and energy,” she says.

She elevates her legs every night.

IV drips and supplements aside, Andrews also swears by a low-tech and totally free wellness tip. “I’m the person who elevates my legs up against the wall,” she says. “I’m trying to do it for ten minutes every night.”

The thought is that elevating your legs above your heart can aid circulation and inflammation. It can improve your circulation, according to a 2022 study in Nursing, which said that it’s beneficial for healthy subjects and those with chronic venous disease alike.

She prioritizes time with family.

In addition to working out, spending time with loved ones is critical to Andrews’ mental health. During football season, she’s traveling three days out of the week, so Andrews is super intentional about those four days at home.

“It’s my favorite to wake [my son] up in the morning and then put him down at night or to be able to go do a nice dinner with my husband and to really check in with my relationships at home because I miss so much of that when I’m on the road during football,” Andrews says.

She practices resiliency.

Resiliency isn’t a supplement you can buy at a store or a move you can do in the gym, but it can make all the difference in someone’s health journey. As someone who battled cancer and fertility struggles, Andrews knows a thing or two about resiliency. (Just ask her dad.)

For Andrews, that inspiration comes from her family, who have dealt with their own health challenges—and her career choice. “I’m a competitor obviously,” she says. “You have to be in my line of work.”

Even when things are scary, like the occasional abnormal test result, Andrews has navigated all of her hurdles head-on. “I wasn’t going to lay down with all of this,” she says. “And I like what I do for a living, so I don’t want to miss any time.”

A new, unexpected perk of her job? That *so* many more women are involved today. “Any time we can get women involved in our game, it’s so exciting,” she says. “Whether it’s the women that are doing what I do, the training staff, the assistant coaches, or the women in the front offices, it’s really, really cool.”
