On her definition of health: "My definition is definitely going to be just MY definition, because we all go through our own journeys with our body and the discovery of what’s best for our body. I have Hashimoto's disease, which is a deficiency of the pituitary gland in my thyroid, hypothyroidism. So for me, I know the definition of 'health' is staying true to what’s going to make me live the longest when it comes to Hashimoto’s. That’s no gluten—as much as I love bread. That’s chilling on the soy, trying not to have fluoride; that’s working out, getting natural sugars. It’s very difficult to keep this lifestyle because I was raised so differently being Puerto Rican. You have bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But I do want to create the best life possible for me because I have been given so many blessings, so there’s just no need for me to disrupt that. I’m not perfect, I love to indulge as everybody else does, I just know that I have been given these opportunities and I think it’s best for me to take care of me, because that’s what gets me through every day."
