Lindsay Hubbard is always on the go. Whether she’s at the summer house, somewhere in the city, or just tackling her everyday tasks as a mother, there aren’t many opportunities she turns down.
“I’m a yes person. I’m not a no person,” Hubbard tells The Hollywood Reporter. It can be hard for the reality star to find time to fit wellness into her schedule, which is why teaming up with Florastor in support of their new Digest + Skin Renew Probiotic was a natural partnership.
“Honestly, I don’t have a lot of time to focus on myself,” she says. “So the easier and more simplified that my routine can be, which is basically taking a probiotic in the morning, the better off I am.”
Florastor’s Digest + Skin Renew Probiotic is formulated to work from the inside out, providing digestive balance and botanicals to boost younger-looking skin. Hubbard says the probiotic is particularly important in her daily routine because of its focus on fostering a positive gut-skin connection.
“I love that [Florastor] has launched their Digest + Skin Renew, because a lot of people, including myself, don’t realize that your skin is affected from your gut. Beauty starts within, obviously. Like, we all say it, but do we actually know what that means?” Hubbard says. “The direct gut-to-skin connection is so important, and I love that they created this product for those of us who are always focused on having better skin.”
Before the Summer House star welcomed her first child, Gemma, she used Florastor’s probiotic products and switched back to the brand after giving birth, she says. Adding the Digest + Skin Renew Probiotic is a convenient option for Hubbard, who juggles starring on two reality shows, motherhood and her stacked professional life.
“When I don’t have time to actually work out, go to the gym, or make it to my dermatologist, or even do a full skincare routine at night if I’m in the Summer House… with such a busy routine, at minimum, at least I have the Florastor Digest + Skin Renew,” Hubbard says.
And busy Hubbard has been, as filming on season 11 of the Emmy-nominated Bravo series picked up last weekend, all the while the tail end of its spinoff In The City has been airing.
Hubbard explains that amid the chaos, she finds time to focus on wellness in ways that work for her, including by leaning into the solitude that can come with being away from external pressures while filming Summer House.
“When I’m at the Summer House and I’m not in mom mode and work mode and I’m just in Lindsay free-spirited mode, I tend to dance a lot,” she says. “I like to dance off any tension that I have in my body, and just be free. I’m always just moving. Are my workouts or wellness routines traditional? No, they’re not.”
The weekend of July 10, Hubbard and her Summer House co-stars celebrated the show’s first Emmy nomination. “We had a great weekend. It was so much fun,” Hubbard says. “The vibes were high. It was one of the best first weekends that we’ve ever had at Summer House.”
It was also their first weekend reunited and filming as a cast amid a mini shakeup, as Amanda Batula and West Wilson both exited the series. Hubbard said not having them in the house has been “business as usual.”
She’s looking forward to moving past the headline-making scandal that plagued season 10 with the future of Summer House.
“After this entire scandal, I just think everyone needed space from the drama. It was a pretty all-consuming three months of dissecting and asking questions, not getting answers, trying to investigate and figure out what the hell just happened; how did we get here?” Hubbard says. “And that was months and months [of] everyone checking in on everyone’s feelings and filming reunions, having two back-to-back TV shows on air. I think, just in general, we are all ready to put the past behind us and move forward in a positive, exciting, celebratory way.”
Hubbard teases a “fresh vibe” for Summer House season 11, which includes the addition of new faces, a new house and new dynamics amongst the friend group.
“We have a new house. It’s a fresh vibe. We have some new people that you guys will be able to get to know,” she adds. “I think for the rest of us returning cast, it’s also a fresh start for us in so many different ways, whether it’s our friendships with each other or just rediscovering new sides of our personality with each other in this new fresh era. As with any season, you never know what could happen because things just tend to happen in our world. But we’re here for it, and we’re excited.”
Before Bravo confirmed the season 11 cast, it was unclear if Hubbard and Kyle Cooke would continue with Summer House, as they’re now pulling double duty by also starring on In The City. And Hubbard doesn’t have any plans on saying no to any opportunities that Bravo may bring her way.
“Listen, I’m a yes person. I’m not a no person. I think as long as I’m able to share my journey with the world, I’m going to,” Hubbard says when asked if she’s hoping to continue shooting for both unscripted shows.
“And as we know, with any one of us at any given time, things tend to happen at any given moment. So having cameras around for all of it, I think, is nice, and we have the ability, not just with me, but with multiple cast members, to capture a lot,” she concludes.
