Michelle Young Reveals She Had to Cut Her Honeymoon Short Due to Health Issues: ‘Couldn’t Keep Up’
Sending love.
Bachelor Nation fans saw former Bachelorette Michelle Young look for love on Season 18 of “The Bachelorette” and Season 25 of “The Bachelor.”
Michelle ultimately found love off-screen with husband Jack Leius in October 2023, and the two officially tied the knot in a gorgeous Minnesota wedding ceremony surrounded by family and friends earlier this year
Recently, the newlywed couple left for their honeymoon but had to cut their trip short due to health issues.
In a new post on her Instagram Story, Michelle revealed, “So many have asked about honeymoon photos… Jack and I loved the time we got to spend in Venice and Positano. Sadly we had to end our trip 7 days early because my health couldn’t keep up.”
Michelle went on to share that she’s been dealing with health issues for the past year.
She wrote, “For the last 8 months to a year I’ve been battling with extreme fatigue, brain fog, panic attacks, heart palpitations, hypoglycemia, and POTS-like symptoms. After a number of tests came back normal, we thought it could be stress and anxiety with the wedding until all the symptoms remained months after the wedding passed. Doctors haven’t been able to find anything until recently getting the results of a Mycotoxin and Mold test showing I’ve been SEVERLY exposed and my body has been working hard to fight it all off 😢."
The former Bachelorette then revealed her new treatment plan to help her body detox from the exposure.
“Thankfully, we did just move and know our new home is safe but clearly was exposed to something (many things) in the past few years,” she shared. “Now having to do an intense detox along with many medications and IV therapy to help my body get rid of everything. Long story short, I will share the few pics we have soon but didn’t get to capture as many memories as I would have liked since my health wasn’t holding up!”
Michelle also shared that she and Jack are planning to go back to Italy to finish their honeymoon, going on, “Anyways, hoping to get good health back soon and head back to Italy in the Spring to ‘redo’ some of our honeymoon ♥️.”
We’re so glad that Michelle is finally able to get the treatments that she needs, and we’re wishing her a speedy recovery!
