In a recent episode of “Red Table Talk,” Jaden Smith and his family opened up about the health challenges they have been facing. Jaden, along with his parents Will and Jada Pinkett, sister Willow, and grandmother Adrienne Banfield-Norris, gathered to discuss their journey towards improved well-being.
During the conversation, Jaden bravely spoke about his intense stomach problems and his determination to find a solution. Seeking professional help, the family sought the guidance of renowned physician Dr. Mark Hyman and nutritionist Mona Sharma.
It wasn’t easy for Jaden to seek assistance, as he had faced criticism in the past when he adopted a vegan diet. People made assumptions about his health and offered assistance, sometimes unnecessarily. However, Jaden realized the importance of prioritizing his own well-being and decided to move forward with the assessment.
Dr. Hyman explained that Jaden’s health issues were related to consuming the wrong types of food. He highlighted the significance of making dietary changes and incorporating supplements to address specific deficiencies.
During the episode, it was revealed that gluten and dairy were problematic for Jaden. Considering his vegetarian lifestyle, concerns were raised about his vitamin and omega-3 deficiencies. Dr. Hyman assured Jaden that once these issues were resolved and his diet adjusted accordingly, he would regain his vitality and continue to “rock the world.”
Jaden’s extreme diet had raised concerns for his parents in September. He confessed to eating only two meals a day, sometimes even one. This took a toll on his health, with feelings of fatigue, poor appearance, and sleeplessness. His condition worsened while he was in Australia, leading to hospitalization for nausea and dizziness, causing deep worry within the family. As a result, Jaden switched to a vegetarian diet, but his protein intake remained insufficient, prompting his parents to intervene.
The Smith family has always been open about their mental and physical health journey. Even Will recently shared his experience with a colonoscopy, during which a polyp was discovered and removed. Will emphasized the importance of prioritizing one’s health, acknowledging the commitment and even the potential embarrassment that may come with it.
To Will, it is crucial to share their experiences with others. By doing so, they hope to inspire people to prioritize their own health, become compliant patients, and lead healthy and happy lives for as long as possible.
Through their candid conversation on “Red Table Talk,” Jaden Smith and his family displayed their commitment to addressing health issues head-on. They shared their personal experiences to inspire others on their own wellness journeys. Together, they are proving that it’s never too late to prioritize health and make positive changes for a better future.
