What Elle Macpherson (62) Does Before Bed Has Sparked a Heated Debate Online

Though she is over 60 years old, she still goes by the nickname “The Body” and somehow looks as if she has been quietly sipping from a fountain that the rest of us have never found.

But it turns out Elle Macpherson’s ageless glow might have less to do with expensive creams and more to do with what she does in the final quiet moments before she falls asleep.

And once people heard about it, the internet had a lot of thoughts.

It Starts Way Before the Pillow

Macpherson skips caffeine entirely and wraps up dinner by 5 p.m., believing that what you eat and when you eat it is deeply connected to how well you rest.

She has completely said goodbye to alcohol, swapped coffee for elixirs, and made eight hours of sleep non-negotiable after years of surviving on just four. The shift happened in her late forties, and the results apparently speak for themselves.

The Bedtime Ritual That Started the Debate

Before drifting off, she winds down with a cup of hot chocolate and goes to bed with, in her own words, a smile and a happy heart.

That hot chocolate is not your average grocery store mix. It is magnesium-rich, part of her WelleCo nighttime ritual, designed to help the body rest and regenerate.

On other nights, the routine also includes a hot shower or bath, a yoga posture designed to relax the body, and a cup of calming herbal tea containing hops, valerian, and skullcap to ease stress.

The Part That Really Got People Talking

Here is where it gets interesting. Just before sleep, she fills her mind with affirmations like “I’m in perfect health, I am loving consciousness,” then mentally replays moments from the day that made her laugh or feel touched, and congratulates herself on even the smallest accomplishments.

Some called it beautiful. Others called it deeply strange. The wellness crowd went wild. Skeptics rolled their eyes.

She also runs through a gratitude list every single night, a practice she repeats again first thing every morning before she even opens her eyes.

The Science Behind the Controversy

Health experts and nutritionists have not always been kind to her broader wellness philosophy, particularly around her alkaline diet, which some say has no solid scientific backing when it comes to actually rebalancing the body’s pH.

But fans insist that whatever she is doing, the proof is in the glow.

Whether you find her bedtime rituals deeply inspiring or wildly over the top, there is something oddly comforting about the idea that one of the world’s most celebrated supermodels ends her day not with a complicated skincare haul, but with a warm drink, a good thought, and a smile in the dark.
