Sasha Pieterse Opens Up About Hormonal Imbalance

Sasha Pieterse, 21, who is best known for her role as Alison DiLaurentis on Pretty Little Liars and Marissa the Ice Princess in 2005’s The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, has been struggling with her weight and she wants everyone to know. 

For the past few years, fans of the popular teen drama have followed cast and crew, doing their best to solve the show’s underlying question: “Who is A?”

While the fans searched for answers to this question, Pieterse searched for her own answers. The question? Her body.

Pieterse was recently on ABCs Dancing With the Stars where she tearfully opened up on how she’s been struggling with her recent diagnosis of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Sasha has exposed to everyone watching the show just how much her weight gain has affected her life, the painful insults she endured, and how she gained around 70 pounds in two years.

Unfortunately, Pieterse has been eliminated from the Dancing With the Stars, but in the process, she revealed that she lost 37 pounds from hard work and training with her partner Gleb Savchenko.  She confessed that she was starting to feel more like herself again and that all she wants is to be healthy again.

She hopes to spread awareness of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome because it can lead to more serious conditions for women that can be avoided with checking, especially since the symptoms can be hidden.
