Can you believe it’s been 10 years since #GOLD was released on YouTube?
BACKSTORY:
Candice, April, and I grew up as competitive artistic roller skaters in California. We competed in different age groups but knew of each other. We all skated singles and pairs competed at the world class level in different events. After our competitive careers we migrated into the entertainment industry as skating professionals.
When April got a call about the audition for Gold, she called me down and we auditioned. We were still looking for a third skater to fit the “vision” of Hiro and Ryan. We called Candice and asked her to come down. We literally started rehearsing that day in a dance studio and the following evening at my family owned roller rink @nrsk8land , which closed during the pandemic.
We took a 4 minute routine which only went forwards! and rehearsed it in sections for a limited number of hours before setting in the dark on a highway in Santa Clarita. And no- it wasn’t swept before hand and sometimes we were hauling ass. And no it wasn’t a green screen lol. We went uphill one way and down hill the other performing the choreography in two sections. We skated from sunset to sunrise. 🌄

We had never skated together but had skated pairs with other partners. We booked a music video gig (which I’ll be soooo excited to share once it’s out!) which asked us to do skating stunts together. So we tried a few lifts out near the shoot!

Throwback…
This was me before mold illness, MCAS, SIBO, POTS, recurrent candida, hair loss, spooning nails, fibromyalgia, edema, hives, random rashes, exhaustion, brain fog…
Just kidding!
—> This was me in it—still pushing through.
That’s what we’re taught, especially as athletes:
• push through the pain
• push through the fatigue
• push through the symptoms
…until your body and nervous system hit empty.
And when I hit empty, recovery wasn’t quick.
Because this wasn’t just one issue—it was full-body dysfunction.
In functional medicine, we call this “metabolic chaos” —
when multiple systems are dysregulated at the same time.
That’s why nothing seems to work:
supplements, topicals, injections, PT, acupuncture, various diets, different “protocols” …
Because you’re chasing symptoms—
not addressing the root cause.
When I finally addressed what was actually going on underneath everything…
my body responded.
No more brain fog
No more hives
No more exhaustion
No more bloating or edema
Hair loss stopped
Nails normalized
Mold illness, MCAS, POTS—in remission.
This is what’s possible when you stop pushing through
and start supporting your body properly.

As a full time FDN-P, I don’t have time for feeling puffy and exhausted anymore. These are the things that made the biggest difference when I had bloating, skin issues, & fatigue. BONUS! They also keep belly fat in check in perimenopause ✅
1️⃣ I get natural sunlight and eat protein within an hour of waking to regulate cortisol & blood sugar.
2️⃣ I move every morning. Jogging moves lymph, yoga tones and strengthens, weights keep me strong and helps balance testosterone.
3️⃣ I practice breathwork and meditation to reduce tension and stress. Whether somatic breathwork or coherent breathwork, each type has mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits.
4️⃣ I sleep like my life depends on it! Our deep sleep mainly happens before midnight, so I am in bed to sleep by 10pm. This is where we detox, repair, and refresh.
5️⃣ I test, not guess at what my gut and hormones are doing so I know exactly how to support my body.
It’s not about being perfect at everything, it’s about discipline and self compassion.
I feel well because I chose daily habits that give me energy and vitality. No extremes—just stress regulation, steady blood sugar, deep sleep, and test don’t guess.

Happy Mother’s Day to my talented mom @nancyflemingyoga who taught artistic roller skating for nearly 30 years, and choreographed skating routines while 9 months pregnant with me!
Blessed to have inherited roller skating genes from my mom, who taught me, coached me (even in my teens 🙄😬), who snuck me into gay clubs growing up while attending national competitions, who convinced me to join the adult synchronized roller skating team in 1999 so we could attend the World Championships together in Australia and dance at more clubs when I had just turned legal 18, and supported me through my own 20 year coaching career.
What a fun life! And now we teach yoga and breathwork 😂🧘🏻♀️😮💨
Love you mom!
