'RHONJ' alum Caroline Manzo breaks silence on 'critical' medical condition

Caroline Manzo recently got candid and shared a shocking update about her health after a physical checkup.

Taking to her Instagram, the 65-year-old American TV personality and businesswoman revealed that her doctor warned her of an impending risk of a heart attack after completing her physical examination.

In a video clip, Manzo can be heard saying, “In my arrogance, I work out every day. I look great. I feel great. I’m doing everything right. I eat super clean. I drink water. I don’t drink [alcohol except] socially … [and yet] I am a heart attack waiting to happen.”

She went on to share that the jolting medical warning came after she got a “complete blood panel” at her daughter, Lauren Manzo’s request.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum added, “I had been resistant to it. As you know, I’ve been working out. I’m doing everything right. I’m eating right. I’m doing everything you’re supposed to do.”

“Finally, I said alright … It’s all about women’s health and wellness. About six weeks ago, I did a complete blood panel where they send it away and test for everything,” Manzo recalled. “I went to Labcorp and I got more work. They took seven or eight vials of blood. Got more bloodwork done.”

Her test reports revealed that she has a “fatty liver” as well as that she has “very little Vitamin B in [her] body” and is Vitamin D deficient.

The star of My Fabulous Wedding continued, “My toxin level is at 93 or 98%, a critical level. This is from somebody, who in her arrogance, says, ‘I don’t need this. I’m great!’ No! They said to me, ‘You are doing everything right. It’s your genetics.’”

It is pertinent to mention that Manzo is determined to improve her health, as she has activated her “beast mode.”

She articulated, “I cannot believe that, for somebody who thought she was doing everything right, has so much going on in her body that I did not know about. Now, I have to fix all this, I have to combat it.”

“I want to share with you guys going forward. You think you’re great and you may not be. You need to get yourselves checked!” Caroline Manzo concluded, encouraging her fans and followers to get themselves checked regularly.
