In her latest Goop newsletter, Gwyneth Paltrow opens up about her father’s battle with throat cancer and her own health issues.

She says she has found “three doctors” — one in London, one in New York and one in Los Angeles — who “have helped me tremendously” with “some very sticky health problems,” including pneumonia, anemia, stress.

Their advice?

“Sleep eight hours for two weeks, then start eliminating ‘white’ foods,” Paltrow quotes NYC-based cardiologist Dr. Alejandro Junger. “After two weeks of sleeping and eating better, you’ll have the energy to exercise. Begin as you like.

“If you are totally out of shape,” Dr. Junger advises, “start by walking 15 minutes a day and add a minute every day for the first month.

“At the end of a month, you’ll be up to 45 minutes a day, which should make you ready for whatever more strenuous form of exercise you want to try,” Dr. Junger says. “Experiment with them all to see what works best for you and stick with it.”

In May, Paltrow’s chef pal Mario Batali told Us the actress works out “three hours a day – which is one of the keys to success.

“If we all did that, we’d all look like Gwyneth Paltrow,” he said. “Or at least closer.”
