# How Ukrainian actress Katya Olos overcame an autoimmune disease without hormones: a transformation story

Ukrainian actress and stand-up comedian Ekaterina Olos shared in an exclusive interview with WAVE (the lifestyle project of RBC-Ukraine) about her battle with an autoimmune disease and how she managed to fully recover.

### From diagnosis to recovery

According to the artist, the diagnosis that previously significantly impacted her life is now in the past. Olos claims to have fully restored her health and even eliminated the antibodies characteristic of her condition.

"First of all, this is already in the past. I have fully recovered; I no longer have antibodies," Ekaterina shared regarding her results.

### Changing the nutrition paradigm

The key factor in her recovery was a radical restructuring of her diet. After receiving the diagnosis, the artist switched to a strict plant-based diet. Meat, fish, dairy products, gluten, soy, and fried foods were excluded from her menu.

Olos emphasizes that she does not perceive these changes as restrictions but rather as a conscious choice. She noticed a direct link between what enters her body and her overall well-being.

"When I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, it was exactly this that served as the impetus to completely change my diet. And I really felt how much nutrition affects not only physical but also emotional state," the star noted.

The actress also almost completely gave up sugar, replacing sweets with fruits and dates. However, now that her health has been restored, she allows herself rare dietary indulgences.

### Refusal of hormonal therapy

One of the boldest decisions in the treatment process was the conscious refusal of medical intervention. Olos stated that she immediately decided not to resort to hormonal therapy.

"I told myself right away that I would not undergo hormonal therapy. Personally, I consider it nonsense (but this is just my opinion!)," the artist honestly admitted, adding that she believes in the body's ability to self-heal with proper support.

### Psychology and lifestyle

The transformation affected not only gastronomy but also her mental state. The stand-up comedian re-evaluated her attitude towards work and rest, giving up constant stress and hustle.

"I stopped stressing about being late somewhere or other things," she said, noting that she started to dedicate more time to rest and working on her psychological state.

As a concluding metaphor, Olos compared the body to a car: food is fuel. If you fill the car with high-quality gasoline, it will work properly. If you use diluted fuel with impurities, the result will be accordingly.
