At first glance, former Bachelor star Tara Pavlovic shines with effortless poise, but behind that glow is a deeply honest journey of letting go, learning about her health, and coming back stronger than ever.
From Mornings to Meltdowns
Earlier this year, Tara opened up on Instagram about a struggle hidden beyond her public life. She was quietly dealing with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and related hormonal imbalances. After facing major health issues in late 2023 including influenza A, pneumonia and cryptosporidium that left her weak and underweight, she finally pushed for answers. A doctor’s visit led to blood tests, scans and relief all wrapped into a diagnosis that explained her fatigue, hair loss, acne and irregular monthlies.
It wasn’t vanity that drove Tara. It was exhaustion and confusion. As she described it, "The belly fat seemed to be getting worse... I just felt something wasn’t right."
Small Changes, Big Impact
Tara didn’t jump into extreme dieting or counting calories. Instead, she began making gentle but powerful shifts in her everyday routine.
She addressed nutrient deficiencies like low vitamin D, zinc and thyroid imbalance through guided supplementation and subtle diet tweaks. She moved away from inflammatory foods in a way that wasn’t overly restrictive and began weaving more movement into her busy mum life.
Within just two months, she shed 5 kg and experienced renewed energy, clearer skin and emotional balance. “I have so much more energy… my whole family is happier,” she wrote, noting the surprising side effect was a deeper connection with her partner.
A Mother Who Chooses Herself
Tara is a mum of two young children and her decision to focus on her health was not selfish. She sees it as essential for her kids. By modelling self-care, she teaches that wellbeing matters. People have applauded her transparency and courage, commenting things like “Really appreciate you sharing this and for literally being you.”
