After being diagnosed with Sjogren’s syndrome, Williams changed her diet to help offset some of the symptoms.

 

 "I've made huge improvements since I was first diagnosed, so that has been huge for me, and it's a journey that I continue on, but definitely changing my diet has made a big difference." Source

 

 

Here's an interview with Williams discussing her lifestyle-that part starts at 3:15

 

 "I'm not perfect, so I forgive myself when I make mistakes and I do a lot of juicing as well, a lot of wheat grass shots...lots of fresh juices and things like that."
