Megan Thee Stallion on Protecting Her Mental Health: ‘I’m a Big Believer in Setting Boundaries’ (Exclusive)

Megan Thee Stallion takes care of herself.

While talking to PEOPLE about her partnership with Planet Fitness ahead of 2024, the 28-year-old rapper also talked about the importance of protecting her mental health.

“I’m constantly working or traveling, so I’m a big believer in setting boundaries and taking days off to preserve my mental health and avoid burnout,” says Megan.

“On my days off, I like to binge watch my favorite shows, spend time with my dogs, and hang out with friends,” he adds. “It’s just so relaxing and therapeutic to give your body a break, rebalance and allow yourself space to reset and recharge.”

As well as focusing on protecting her mental health, Megan also knows the importance of a healthy diet, which is why she has changed what she eats in her daily life.

“Eating a healthy, balanced diet is a big part of my process. I’ve been integrating a lot of fruits and vegetables into my meals — I like protein-rich meals and I drink a lot of healthy smoothies — so I’m definitely proud of the adjustments I’ve made,” she explains. “It takes a lot of discipline and consistency, but I try to be extra health conscious with everything I put in my body.”

The “Cobra” artist similarly understands that sticking to a fitness routine and staying active is just as important as eating right and keeping your mental health in tip-top shape.

“Physical and mental health go hand in hand and that’s a big priority for me,” says the Grammy Award winner.

“I am extremely grateful that Planet Fitness shares my passion for mental health and is committed to donating all profits from the sale of our co-branded product line to my nonprofit, The Pete & Thomas Foundation,” Megan tells PEOPLE.

“For a long time, our society has had a negative stigma around mental health, so I’m committed to doing my part to normalize the conversation and ensure people have the right resources to get the help they need,” she adds.
