In an interview with 'Women’s Health' released Tuesday, the actress said her doctor told her, ''If you don’t correct what’s going on inside of you, you’re going to develop stomach ulcers, which can lead to stomach cancer.''
The severe case led her to the hospital where she recalled the doctor telling her, “If you don’t correct what’s going on inside of you, you’re going to develop stomach ulcers, which can lead to stomach cancer.”
Henson said she was prescribed another PPI, but her symptoms did not improve. Her assistant eventually recommended a holistic doctor. The holistic doctor diagnosed her with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth which can cause pain and malnutrition. After switching to a plant-based diet, the actress explained that her health quickly improved. Henson said during the pandemic her mindset over her nutrition changed: “I was like, ‘Well, ain’t nobody going nowhere, so I might as well eat.'” She later realized she needed to continue working on her physical and mental health.
Henson adjusted her lifestyle and started working out: “The older you get, the harder it is to get in shape. I didn’t want to be climbing out of a hole.” She added, “When I get those endorphins going, I’m like a whole different girl.” Henson, who is now working on her first album, also encouraged others to focus on their health: “I want people to know that it’s never too late for anything. You can get your health together and live out your wildest dreams,” she said.
