Joe Manganiello, a 49-year-old actor, has shared his seven-year health battle in his upcoming memoir, “Bloodlines”. Manganiello endured a cascade of autoimmune-related illnesses that impacted his skin, thyroid, eyes, lungs, and digestive system. He battled chronic pain, a life-saving organ amputation, existential crisis, and a prolonged fight for survival that left doctors with few answers and no clear explanation.
Seeking Answers
Manganiello pursued an unorthodox path to cure his illness, enlisting the help of shamans, pagan rituals, ancient myths, long-lost family records, and the rebirth of his own spirituality. Through researching his own genealogy, Manganiello discovered family members who survived the Armenian genocide and ancestors shaped by violence and displacement.
Manganiello hopes that his journey can give readers hope that answers and healing may lie on the other side of whatever they are fighting through. He and his fiancée, Caitlin O’Connor, recently left Los Angeles behind for their shared hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
