- Synopsis
- Award-winning actress Jennifer Esposito tells a riveting personal story about her own journey and experience with chronic illness, and her long-awaited diagnosis: celiac disease. Armed with this knowledge, she vowed to rebuild her life to ensure her wellness, and she learned how to live again. The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness estimates that as many as 1 in 133 Americans has celiac disease, and 83% of people who have it are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed with other conditions. Jennifer received an accurate diagnosis only after decades of mysterious illnesses and misdiagnoses. Upon being diagnosed with celiac disease, she dedicated herself to advocacy through her nonprofit foundation for celiac education, Jennifer's Way. She also owns and operates a gluten-free bakery called Jennifer's Way in Manhattan. Jennifer, who starred in the Oscar-winning film Crash and CBS's Blue Bloods, will not let her diagnosis deter her--or anyone else--from living a successful and healthy life. She provides hope for all those who suffer. For anyone struggling with a chronic illness, Jennifer's Way is proof that there is a solution for what ails you, that you shouldn't stop until you find it, and that you can feel good again.
