At 21 years old, Candice Cunningham Scott was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. The autoimmune disease not only affected her physical well being but her mental health as well. In this episode we hear how Candice took control of her health through self-education and exercise and how her disease actually inspired her to become a fitness trainer to help others. We also learn how Candice navigated a positive COVID-19 test earlier this year, how it took a toll on her mental health and what steps she is taking to stay healthy moving forward.
