As a dedicated follower of Shailene Woodley’s career and personal journey, I can’t help but admire her resilience and strength. The story she shared about her health scare in her early 20s is a stark reminder of the complexities that life throws at us, especially when we least expect it.

At the Uber’s go-get zero event held at the Science Museum in London on Tuesday, Shailene Woodley captivated the audience with her stunning appearance in a leopard print top while she was speaking on stage.

The 32-year-old American actress attracted attention with her stylish ensemble consisting of a vibrant short-sleeved blouse and black, wide-leg pants, as she graced the stage.

Shailene let down her long, golden-blonde hair naturally, added elegance with two stacked gold necklaces, and opted for comfort in a pair of flats.

As I stood side by side with Jill Hazelbaker before a bustling audience, the radiant Divergent star exuded an infectious energy and positivity that was hard to ignore.

After Shailene openly discussed a potentially alarming health problem she encountered during her twenties while filming the Divergent series, it occurred later.

On the SHE MD podcast, the actress was joined by OBGYN Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, influencer Mary Alice Haney, and discussed her recent health issue.

Shailene opened up about her experiences during the shooting of a well-known science fiction series, where she faced numerous challenges such as hearing problems, an underactive thyroid, fainting episodes, dietary intolerances, post-traumatic stress disorder, and reactions to past traumas.

She didn’t go into specific details, but she spoke candidly about the hardships she faced when she said: “Sure, I can discuss it in general terms. I haven’t shared the exact nature of it as it seems too private for me to divulge.

In my late teens and early twenties, I encountered a challenging phase in life. My health deteriorated significantly, reaching a point where I began to lose my hearing. Walking for more than five minutes was exhausting, requiring me to rest for extended periods, sometimes for hours on end. My digestive system also malfunctioned, causing discomfort with every meal. The issues I faced were complex and involved multiple diagnoses from various doctors who offered conflicting advice. Given my background in holistic healing, I studied herbalism as a means of addressing these health complications.

Shailene further detailed that she collaborated not only with independent healers, but also with genuine medical professionals, in an effort to thoroughly understand and address her health concerns.

She went on to say: ‘It was a lengthy process, approximately ten years of unraveling, healing, and regaining health. During that period, many other things emerged due to the constant physical discomfort, which was quite intense – if everything I eat seems to upset my stomach, then I find myself suddenly apprehensive about food.’

Then, I found myself grappling with the complexities related to body dysmorphia, questions about self-identity, and the struggle for a sense of safety within my personal space. This encompassed contemplating the meaning and appropriate expression of being in my own body.

The actress later clarified that the problem sorted itself out physically, leaving her in good health now.

She added: “I’m overjoyed to express this. Moreover, it prompted me to delve deeply within myself and engage in self-reflection.

It appears that what I discovered was essentially my own journey, encompassing both physical recovery and mental wellness. This entailed confronting the psychological aspects of healing by recognizing and addressing the actual traumas and PTSD I experienced throughout different periods in my life, without delving into specific details about these incidents.

Shailene admitted that even though she consistently maintained a healthy diet and regular exercise routine, it still had an impact on her physical well-being.
