In a recent episode of “Red Table Talk,” Jaden Smith, alongside his parents Will and Jada Pinkett, sister Willow, and grandmother Adrienne Banfield-Norris, opened up about the health issues they have been facing as a family. The 21-year-old star revealed his struggles with intense stomach issues and the steps they are taking to address them.
Jaden shared his apprehension about seeking help due to the backlash he received for adopting a vegan diet. People would approach him on the street, concerned about his well-being, offering him food and water. This negative attention made him hesitant to explore potential solutions.
To get to the bottom of Jaden’s health problems, the family enlisted the expertise of Dr. Mark Hyman and nutritionist Mona Sharma. The analysis revealed that Jaden’s issues stem from nutritional deficiencies caused by consuming the wrong types of food. Dr. Hyman emphasized that by making adjustments to his diet and incorporating supplements, Jaden’s health could significantly improve.
The episode highlighted two major problem areas for Jaden’s dietary needs: gluten and dairy. Additionally, being a vegan meant he had deficiencies in vitamin and omega-3 intake. Dr. Hyman assured Jaden that once his stomach issues are resolved, he will be able to expand his diet and make necessary adjustments with supplements, ultimately thriving.

This concern over Jaden’s health is not new. Back in September, Will and Jada expressed worry over his extreme diet. Jaden confessed to eating only two meals, sometimes only one, per day. He revealed feeling and looking unwell, experiencing sleep disturbances. During a visit to Australia, Jaden’s health deteriorated further when he was hospitalized for nausea and dizziness, causing deep concern for his family. As a result, he transitioned to a vegetarian diet.
Will and Jada intervened to address Jaden’s nutrition issues, realizing he wasn’t getting enough protein. Jada described him as drained and depleted, with dark circles and a grayish complexion. The family’s fear for his well-being prompted them to take action.
The Smith family has always been candid about their mental and physical health. Will recently shared footage of his successful colonoscopy, where a polyp was found and removed. This openness about their own health struggles is motivated by a desire to inspire others to prioritize their well-being.
In conclusion, “Red Table Talk” served as a platform for the Smith family to discuss Jaden’s health concerns openly and seek advice from medical experts. The episode shed light on the importance of addressing nutritional deficiencies and making informed dietary choices. With the support of his family and proper guidance, Jaden is on the path to regaining his health and vitality.
