Julianne Hough Maria Menounos
Actress, dancer and Emmy Award-winning choreographer Julianne
Hough is the face of a new campaign called “Get in the Know about ME
in EndoMEtriosis.” The campaign, sponsored by AbbVie, is dedicated
to inspiring women to learn about and understand endometriosis, a
disease affecting an estimated one in 10 women.
“After I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2008, I talked about
my symptoms with family and close friends, and it led some of them to
talk to a doctor about their own symptoms,” said Hough, who is best
known as a two-time professional champion and judge on “Dancing
with the Stars.” “I am the ME in EndoMEtriosis, and I’m here to show
women what the face of this chronic and painful disease looks like.
Endometriosis is a part of me, and it could be affecting you and many
other women in your life.” Learn more at MEinEndo.com and join the
conversation online by sharing #MEinEndo. The E! News host has partnered with digital health company Rally
Health to help spread the word of how making small, simple lifestyle
changes can help improve one’s overall health.
“As many people know, I’ve been very open about my experiences
with health and health care, beginning years ago with my own weight-
loss journey, and more recently, with my mother’s health struggles.
Now more than ever, I want to help people navigate their own health
journeys. Collaborating with Rally as its newest health ambassador
gives me an incredible platform to do that, and reach tens of thousands
of people with encouragement to help them improve and maintain
their health,” Menounos said.
