At 46 years old, Olivia Ruiz is currently experiencing a complicated situation. The multifaceted artist, who has experienced several health problems, recently saw the appearance of worrying symptoms…
Guest on the media Ladies on July 24, it was in front of Elsa Wolinski that Olivia Ruiz agreed to talk about the many ills that have haunted her for some time. Suffering from endometriosis, she admitted also suffering from dysmorphophobia, a mental disorder which distorts the physical perception of oneself. Over time, she learned to tame her demons. However, at 46, there is now a new period that she is struggling to get to grips with: premenopause…
Olivia Ruiz and her “unbearable symptoms” since premenopause
Premenopause is a complicated time of life that the singer tries to make easier thanks to the most impeccable lifestyle. Accustomed to “unbearable symptoms”Olivia Blanc, her real name, learned to be “much more caring” with herself although she still has a complicated relationship with her body. But premenopause particularly worried her, from the first appearance of symptoms: “We feel like we have so many unknown symptoms that we have a serious illness”.
And to detail: “These days when we get up, we no longer know where we live, as if we had had the drunk of our life even though we haven’t drunk a drop of alcohol… Or swollen limbs”. So, to relieve these pains, the mother of Nino, born in 2015, practices the anti-inflammatory diet which “works very well”and which is also recommended in the treatment of endometriosis. “It’s super fun. Everything we love and adore…”she preferred to joke.
“No dairy, so no cheese, no gluten, no sugar, no chocolate, lots of spices if possible. Nothing fermented, no cabbage…”. Dietary restrictions “violent” crazy in his eyes.
Olivia Ruiz “conquistador” facing her demons: “I often make them shut their mouths”
In the process, the interpreter of The chocolate woman revealed that these disorders were hereditary, and that they had affected all the women in his family. “I think of all those moments when they were annoying, I tell myself that that must be why”said the artist from Carcassonne.
Despite all these awarenesses, and these numerous steps, the author of ¡Vamos! always has a certain discomfort with his body. “I remain a conquistador in the face of these demons, I often make them shut their mouths”she said. And to the one who describes herself as “combative, hypersensitive and funny” to conclude: “I scold myself when I start to have an urge. I say to myself, ‘Are we serious here, my daughter?’.
