On “Red Table Talk,” the Smith family, led by Jaden Smith, opened up about their health challenges. Jaden, at 21, revealed his ongoing struggle with severe stomach problems, seeking help from Dr. Mark Hyman and nutritionist Mona Sharma.

Jaden’s vegan diet drew criticism and led to concerns about vitamin and omega-3 deficiencies. Dr. Hyman explained that Jaden’s issues were largely due to his diet, particularly gluten and dairy, and advised adjustments and supplements to restore his health. “Resolving his stomach issues and adjusting his diet accordingly would restore his vitality,” Dr. Hyman noted.

By September, Jaden’s extreme diet caused him to eat only one or two meals a day, leading to hospitalization in Australia for nausea and dizziness. This prompted his family to step in. Will Smith emphasized the importance of health, stating, “2019, gotta get our health right. There’s a certain amount of commitment and embarrassment involved with being healthy.”

The Smiths’ honest discussions on health highlight the importance of proactive wellness for a vibrant life.
