The actress appeared on the SHE MD podcast with OBGYN Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi and influencer Mary Alice Haney as she talked about her health scare.
Shailene talked about what she was going through while filming the highly-popular sci-fi franchise as she endured many tough issues including: hearing loss, hypothyroid, passing out, food sensitivities, PTSD, and trauma responses.
Though she did not completely reveal what the issue was she talked openly about what she endured as she explained: ‘Yeah. I can talk about it in some type of abstraction. I haven’t spoken about what exactly it was because that just feels like a personal thing that I don’t need to disclose.
‘But essentially, I was in a position in my early 20s. It got to the point where I was losing my hearing. I couldn’t walk for longer than five minutes at a time without having to lay down for hours and hours and hours and sleep. Everything I ate hurt my stomach. It was this conflation of issues and diagnoses and different doctors telling me different things. And I come from a very holistic background and studied herbalism.’
Shailene went on to explain that she worked with real physicians in addition to ‘independent healers’ to try to get to the bottom of her issues.
She continued: ‘And it was a long journey, about a decade of unwinding and healing and getting healthy. And throughout that decade, a lot of other things came from feeling so much discomfort physically, which was, my gosh, if everything I’m eating hurts my stomach, I’m now suddenly afraid of food.
‘And then, going into the mental f***ery that can happen with that of body dysmorphia and confusion about identity and feeling safe in my own capsule, in my own skin, and what that meant and what that should be.’
The actress went on to explain that the issue eventually resolved itself physically and she is now healthy.

She continued: ‘I’m so happy to be able to say that. And also, it forced me to really take a deep look and become introspective.
‘That was, I guess, the path for me, alongside the physical healing, was acknowledging the mental side of the healing process for myself, which involved looking at real traumas and real PTSD that I had experienced at various times in my life, without going into detail about what they were.’
Shailene said that despite always eating healthy and exercising, the process did take a toll on her body.
