Former Bachelorette Reveals Serious Health Battle
Fans will know well that Michelle Young appeared on “The Bachelor” before taking on the lead role on “The Bachelorette.” She then found love with Jack Leius and the pair got married back in June. Although the couple recently went on their honeymoon in Italy, it turns out they had to cut it short due to the fact that Michelle has been dealing with health issues.
“So many [of you] have asked about honeymoon photos,” Michelle wrote in an Instagram Story (via Us Weekly) on Saturday, November 1. “Jack and I loved the time we got to spend in Venice and Positano. Sadly, we had to end our trip seven days early because my health couldn’t keep up.”
She explained, “For the last eight months to a year, I’ve been battling with extreme fatigue, brain fog, panic attacks, heart palpitations, hypoglycemia and POTs-like symptoms.”
Michelle Thought It Was Just Wedding Stress Getting to Her
In Michelle’s Instagram Story, she noted, “After a number of tests came back normal, we thought it could be stress and anxiety with the wedding.”
However, months after the big day, she was still experiencing issues with her health.
“Doctors haven’t been able to find anything until recently, getting the results of a Mycotoxin and Mold test showing I’ve been SEVERELY exposed,” she wrote. “My body has been working hard to fight it all off.”
She continued, “Thankfully, we did just move and know our new home is safe. But, clearly [I] was exposed to something (many things) in the past few years. Now, [I am] having to do an intense detox, along with many medications and IV therapy to help my body get rid of everything.”
Michelle Still Promised Honeymoon Photos
Michelle is aware of the fact that her friends, fans and followers would love to see photos of her honeymoon even though it was cut short. Fortunately, she’s promised to come through for them.
“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,” she wrote in her Instagram Story. “I also dislike posting things like, ‘Everything was/has been perfect’ since it sure hasn’t but also never want to add any negativity on the internet.”
She added, “Anyways, hoping to get good health back soon and head back to Italy in the spring to ‘redo’ some of our honeymoon.”
Star Trek Showrunners Finally Just Admitted Most Hated Trek Show Was A Failure
With its premiere just over two months away, Star Trek fans can’t help but wonder what the upcoming Starfleet Academy show will be like. We know surprisingly few details, but co-showrunner Noga Landau recently clarified to Entertainment Weekly that it would have the kind of “mission of the week” format that helped make shows like
That may seem like a no-brainer for a Star Trek show, but Landau’s very welcome announcement also serves as a quiet admission that
The Problem With Star Trek: Discovery
Unlike traditional Star Trek shows, which had 26 episodes per season,
This approach drove fans away for many reasons. Chief among them was the fact that even when the mystery was pretty cool (why is warp drive suddenly impossible?), the answer (in this case, an alien had a temper tantrum) was often wildly disappointing.
After Discovery, Picard followed the same formula, leading to its own major failure. Sure, everyone liked seeing the TNG crew get back together in Season 3, but the stupidity of Season 1’s mystery (what’s the deal with Data’s daughter?) was eclipsed only by the idiocy of Season 2’s mystery (why is Q back on his bullsh*t?). Negative fan reception to these season-long mystery arcs was presumably a large reason why
Star Trek Returns To a Winning Formula
Now, co-showrunner Noga Landau has confirmed that Starfleet Academy
The answer is as simple as it is cynical. As Star Trek made the shift to streaming, the creative powers that be wanted to give the franchise the kind of prestigious storytelling typically only found in award-winning cable shows like
If the Warp Drive Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It
Obviously, the traditional Star Trek storytelling formula isn’t perfect, and we’ve gotten some major stinker episodes over the years (looking at you, “Code of Honor”). On the whole, though, this particular brand of television writing has kept the franchise alive for over half a century. It was a major risk to change things up with
Fortunately, Starfleet Academy is ditching the season-long mystery arcs that made
