On a recent episode of Red Table Talk, Jaden Smith and his family came together to address his health issues and embark on a transformative journey towards better health. The 21-year-old, accompanied by his parents Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, his younger sister Willow, and his grandmother Adrienne Banfield-Norris, opened up about his severe stomach issues and his determination to find a solution.
Jaden expressed his concerns about being a vegetarian and the challenges he faced. He recounted how people would approach him on the streets, sharing their own struggles and seeking his guidance. With the unwavering support of his family, Jaden decided to take a proactive step towards finding answers. He sought the expertise of Dr. Mark Hyman and nutritionist Mona Sharma.
Dr. Hyman shed light on Jaden’s nutritional deficiencies, attributing them to his previous diet choices. He highlighted the negative impact of consuming gluten and dairy, which were identified as “major concerns” for Jaden’s health. Additionally, Jaden’s decision to avoid meat had led to deficiencies in vitamins and omega-3. Dr. Hyman prescribed a new diet for Jaden, along with recommended supplements. As his stomach problems began to subside, Jaden started noticing improvements in his overall health.
Dr. Hyman’s reassurance brought a bright smile to Jaden’s face. He expressed his belief that Jaden would regain his vitality and make a positive impact on the world once again.
However, this isn’t the first time Jaden’s health has worried his family. On a previous episode of Red Table Talk, Will and Jada expressed their concerns about Jaden’s extreme diet, which often consisted of only one or two meals a day. This poor diet had detrimental effects on Jaden’s appearance, energy levels, and quality of sleep. The severity of the situation became evident when Jaden was admitted to a hospital in Australia due to nausea and dizziness.
Realizing that Jaden’s vegan lifestyle wasn’t providing him with the necessary protein and nutrients, Will and Jada knew it was time to intervene. The visible signs of his declining health, such as dark circles under his eyes and pale skin, reinforced their decision.
The Smith family has consistently demonstrated their commitment to addressing both mental and physical wellness. Recently, Will shared a photo of a successful colonoscopy, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing health care. They understand the discomfort that comes with making honest and healthy choices but firmly believe in the benefits it brings.
By sharing their personal health journey, the Smiths hope to inspire others to prioritize their own wellness and follow the path to a fulfilling and vibrant life. We invite you to join them on this quest to live a healthier, happier life and make the most of the wonderful year ahead.
