Bethenny Frankel says she needed IVs and extra precautions to snowboard in Aspen
The Real Housewives of NewYorkCity alum has bat fibroid tumors, and an allergic reaction to fish, which Bethenny Frankel claims has left her with vision and memory issues.
Bethenny Frankel enjoys the mountain air, even if she needs an IV drip to cope with the altitude in Colorado.
The Real Housewives of NewYorkCity alum, 52, shared a carousel of snowboarding photos on Instagram Wednesday of her fun Colorado getaway with her 12-year-old daughter Bryn. Whom she shares with ex Jason Hoppy.
“Back in Aspen, my happy place that reminds me of my youth. When I was broke and had nothing but free time,” Frankel captioned the photos. “I had to ration my mountain days also beg, steal, and borrow to enjoy this incredible sport.”
She continued, “Given my medical issues, the altitude and dehydration are real concerns. To stay healthy, I have to do IVs and take extra precautions. It’s not as simple as it once was, but the thrill of the ride remains as enthralling as ever.”
The mother and daughter wore matching rainbow-colored snowsuits and carried Skinnygirl snowboards in the photos.
In an accompanying video, the Money Hustle co-host discussed her current situation and offered advice on how to deal with difficult health issues.
“Whatever it is, get up and do it,” she advised. “Because I’m telling you, I’m dehydrated, I have headaches, I’m thirsty, and the altitude is real, but moving will make everything better.”
“I stopped drinking hard alcohol,” Skinnygirl founder Janine Rubenstein told host Janine Rubenstein. “I only drink wine on occasion. It’s because of some medical issues. And I’ve been working hard to get to the bottom of some medical issues I’ve had.”
Frankel has had uterine fibroid tumors removed, and in early 2022. She had a medical emergency after unknowingly eating fish, which she is “deathly allergic to.” She said the allergy attack left her with vision and memory problems.
In a TikTok video last summer, the reality star and body-positivity advocate answered a fan’s question about how she “stays so thin.”
