Snoop Dogg's Daughter Provides Health Update Amid Lupus Battle

Snoop Dogg's daughter Cori Broadus is getting candid about her lifelong battle with lupus.
The 24-year-old—who was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease at the age of 6—recently opened up to PEOPLE about the progress of her health journey, telling the publication that she is now better than ever.
After overcoming challenges with her health in the past, including a suicide attempt in 2021, Broadus said she is now going "all natural" and taking a more holistic approach to her health.
"I stopped taking all of my medication like five months ago," Broadus told the outlet. "I'm just doing everything natural, all types of herbs, sea moss, teas."
Plus, she's also been working out more often and drinking lots of water lately. "So now I think my body's like, okay, this is the new program and she's getting used to it."
Broadus, who Snoop Dogg shares with longtime wife Shante Broadus, explained that she's been on medication for lupus since she was 6, which sometimes made her "feel like I was going insane."
"So I wanted better for myself," she asserted. "I wanted to change because it just became a lot. I'm only 24 years old, taking 10 to 12 pills every single day. So I kind of just went cold turkey."
Now, Broadus is focusing on wellness and fitness, which includes hitting the gym regularly, no matter how "hard it is to get out of bed in the morning."
"My body is not achy," she insisted. "When you have lupus, that's one of the number one things. You have achy joints, you have arthritis. And now I'm like, damn, I'm not complaining about my knees, my feet, my hands, my back."
And there's still more that can be done, according to Broadus, who summed up her health journey as a "learning process."
"If I can do a whole 360 change and just get healthy all around, I think I would be so good," she stated. "But I tell people all the time, it's a day-by-day process. Things are going to take time. Nothing is going to happen overnight."
Most importantly, Broadus stressed that she wants "to be okay" mentally, too, even though it's a "constant battle" dealing with both a physical illness and mental health struggles like depression.
"You're not going to always be okay, and that's okay because we're human, but I want to be okay overall, mentally, physically," she explained. "And we’re going to get there."
