Shania Twain says she developed health problems after using “unhealthy” weight-loss tactics during menopause. Multiple outlets report that the singer described a period in which she aimed to stay thin and, as a result, became “malnourished.” She links the approach to changes in her body during menopause and later says she moved away from those methods as she adopted a more accepting outlook.

The reports describe her comments as an account of personal experience rather than a medical recommendation or a discussion of specific diets or programs. In the coverage, Twain frames her earlier behavior as harmful to her body and points to menopause as a turning point toward different self-care and acceptance.

Across sources, the central points are consistent: Twain discusses being “malnourished,” attributes it to “unhealthy” efforts to lose weight, and ties the shift in perspective to menopause. The articles vary mainly in wording but describe the same overall narrative.
