This is something I haven’t shared and I’m a bit nervous to because my intention isn’t to receive pity. I just want those who are going through the same thing to know they’re not alone❤️ The last 14 months have been the hardest of my life. Every single day since April 23, 2020 I’ve been in physical pain with what doctors think to be an RA flare up. Some months were agony and some days were “manageable”.
When my joints first inflamed I thought it would be taken care of quickly. Little did I know I’d be forced to take a hard look at my life and change A LOT. I realized my symptoms had been going on for at least a decade with me just surviving through them.
My pain & inflammation have been accompanied by a myriad of other symptoms. I’ve been through the wringer in terms of labs, appts, chemo drugs, severe muscle atrophy, chronic hives and weight fluctuations. I’ve unveiled a lot through testing and see how complex my issues are.
Chronic illness can’t often be seen. I’d be told I “didn’t look sick” and that “it could be worse” but being in constant pain with no solution in sight is exhausting mentally, physically, and spiritually and I was often depleted in all 3 of these categories.
Today I’m still in pain but it’s not as aggressive🙏🏼 I weaned off some meds that did their part but were making me feel awful. I’ve been on an eye-opening natural path. Every day I meditate, practice gratitude, eat intuitively, detox, supplement, use healthy ingredients, & put sleep first. I’ve worked on resetting my gut, negative habits & thoughts, and I don’t allow myself to be in stressful situations if I can help it. I’ve also learned a lot about the flaws in how we’ve been taught to eat in North America.
A positive that I’ve taken away from this is all of the life changing information & wisdom! I want to share this info and pay it forward as I continue to learn & share details of my journey.
Thank you to everyone who checked on me and loved me as I grew through this. My angels who understood my experience and stepped in when I hit my rock bottoms. Corbin being my sturdiest rock of all. This has been my most grueling journey but somehow I’m grateful for it❤️ Los Angeles, California

It’s easy to forget our progress! I documented my entire flare up just so I’d have references to look back on and i’m so happy I did! I couldn’t fit this ring on for almost a year (I tried every day).
This week has presented some tough challenges and even though my fingers are still sore and I can see where I’m still swollen, I’m beyond grateful for the reminder that there has been improvement!🙏🏼
A little background- I was diagnosed with RA over 10 years ago. Was treated with Methotrexate and went into “remission”. Meaning my swelling and severe pain went down but I never really got better. I was still achy & sore. Had major brain fog & exhaustion to the point Corbin made me test for narcolepsy. I was always dealing with inflammation/ infections. I was constantly breaking out into rashes and hives and would be on Prednisone multiple times a year. So I was in “remission” but I wasn’t thriving – I was surviving.
When I flared up again I was once again diagnosed with RA – then Lupus – then they added Lyme. With more testing we found I had high levels of mercury & lead, high toxic exposure, activated EBV, major vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and mitochondrial dysfunction.
I’ve been on a few different meds all with their lovely side effects🙄 Some have helped but I didn’t want to repeat the same pattern of just putting this bandaid on the pain. So here are some other things that have helped immensely!
-Working with a functional medicine doctor & getting testing done though them. Finding a mentor to guide me. I eat ZERO processed food, sugar, gluten, dairy, legumes, nuts, caffeine. I cook all of my food at home. I’ve tried many diets – AIP, low salicylate, carnivore, paleo, vegan, pescatarian and I found the trick is to just create your own diet prescription- your body knows what it needs. I take a rainbow of supplements, upped my water intake, practice gratitude, meditation, food combining, hot & cold therapy (sauna & cold showers), fasting, breath work, stretching, exercise, juicing, a wind down routine, & get good sleep.
It’s a lot and wasn’t achieved overnight but each layer you add will only get you closer to healing ❤️

LOVE, FOR REAL😍 airs July 31st on @hallmarkchannel . See what we were up to in Hawaii!
I had such a fun time rejecting @corbinbleu’s advances and tearfully confessing my love for another 😜
#loveforreal Oahu, Hawaii
SO thankful to have partnered with @casaoneus to make our temporary apartment feel like home while we renovate our house!🛋
All of our belongings were packed away and to be honest we didn’t have much furniture to begin with living in our fixer upper. We were ready to just bring a fold out picnic table for the kitchen and throw our mattress down on the floor 😂 that is, until I came across this miracle company 🤩
I can’t describe how amazing our experience was. @casaoneus offers beautiful rental furniture for short & long term leases (you can also purchase what you love). Their design team put together a concept for us, we picked a delivery date and their white glove service delivered and assembled everything in such a short turnaround!
Coming from our house which needs A LOT of work it’s so nice to have a place that feels comfortable and homey. AND now we can have game nights again😭
Stay tuned for a tour of the place!

Husband doing hot things
Husband doing hot things
At 29 I was trying my best to push through my constant brain fog, hives and exhaustion. On my 30th bday I told the universe with full resolve “This year will be my fittest, strongest, and healthiest! I’m ready!” expecting a miraculous overnight change.
It’s as if the Universe heard me and said “HA, so you’re finally ready to be healthy? Now let’s do the REAL work”
Looking back there was absolutely no way I was to achieve the things I wanted with the way I was living (which I thought was pretty good!)
I never thought I had anxiety and definitely didn’t think it attributed to my physical health. But I look back and see how crippling my feelings of past regret were. How insecure I was to stand in my own power. I was constantly blushing & getting hot whenever I tried to “take up space”. I was relentlessly beating myself up and losing sleep over mistakes I made- big or small, past or present. I wasn’t setting boundaries, sleeping or eating well, & put myself in situations that didn’t serve me.
I was pouring from an empty cup and my nervous system was paying for it.
Then my joints swelled up in excruciating pain and I was left bed ridden for months. My mentor encouraged me to start brain retraining. I didn’t get why since it was my body not mind that was in pain. But as my body deteriorated I realized my mind & spirit weren’t strong enough to keep me afloat.
Through a ton of visual work & daily practices of observing my thoughts I began to heal an area of myself that I didn’t know was crying out for help. There are a lot of things that added to my illness but being in a constant state of Fight or Flight was absolutely a factor!
Now, I’ve released so much regret. My daily practices now feel like natural responses (Yay brain rewiring!) I don’t remember the last time I felt embarrassed. Practicing gratitude, noticing my self talk & having someone to guide me was an instrumental part of my physical healing.
My bday manifestation wasn’t what I expected. But at my weakest I got stronger. My daily choices are healthy & my brain is the fittest it’s ever been! The mind-body connection is real and it’s SO important to nurture both❤️

Looking back there was absolutely no way I was to achieve the things I wanted with the way I was living (which I thought was pretty good!)
I never thought I had anxiety and definitely didn’t think it attributed to my physical health. But I look back and see how crippling my feelings of past regret were. How insecure I was to stand in my own power. I was constantly blushing & getting hot whenever I tried to “take up space”. I was relentlessly beating myself up and losing sleep over mistakes I made- big or small, past or present. I wasn’t setting boundaries, sleeping or eating well, & put myself in situations that didn’t serve me.
I was pouring from an empty cup and my nervous system was paying for it.
Then my joints swelled up in excruciating pain and I was left bed ridden for months. My mentor encouraged me to start brain retraining. I didn’t get why since it was my body not mind that was in pain. But as my body deteriorated I realized my mind & spirit weren’t strong enough to keep me afloat.
Through a ton of visual work & daily practices of observing my thoughts I began to heal an area of myself that I didn’t know was crying out for help. There are a lot of things that added to my illness but being in a constant state of Fight or Flight was absolutely a factor!
Now, I’ve released so much regret. My daily practices now feel like natural responses (Yay brain rewiring!) I don’t remember the last time I felt embarrassed. Practicing gratitude, noticing my self talk & having someone to guide me was an instrumental part of my physical healing.
My bday manifestation wasn’t what I expected. But at my weakest I got stronger. My daily choices are healthy & my brain is the fittest it’s ever been! The mind-body connection is real and it’s SO important to nurture both❤️

And just like that our stuff is out of the house🙌🏼 As you know we’re renovating our fixer upper! The hassle of moving out, cleaning your home, and moving into a new space on the same day can be so stressful, but we didn’t have to worry about any of that! We loaded our PODS storage container at our leisure and then had it picked up on a day that worked for us! Storing with @PODSofficial during a renovation makes the process easier and less stressful. If you’re renovating or moving, this is my tip for you – get a PODS container 🙏🏼 #Ad #WhatMovesYou #PODSpartner Los Angeles, California
The perfect video exists. And so does the perfect husband😍 I mean look at that form! Happy 5th anniversary @corbinbleu. You are everything I dreamed of and more.
(Please never stop cleaning in your underwear🤤)
Work becomes play when your director is also an actor! Thank you @maclainnelson for giving us all the freedom to improvise and have fun! Seeing his reactions from video village were the best 😂
If you didn’t catch it – this is Candace! She runs a cupcake truck, is clearly NOT over her ex and isn’t afraid to weep on national television💁🏻♀️ #LoveForReal
