After her diagnosis, Samantha took a break from acting for months. In many interviews she shared, “some days getting out of bed was hard”. Apart from functional medicine, her treatment included customized physiotherapy. Despite dealing with an autoimmune condition that causes inflammation and muscle weakness, she has steadily rebuilt her strength.
In a conversation with Nutrition coach Ryan Fernando, Samantha shared how weight training changed her life. In the podcast she shared her workouts 5 to 6 days a week and mornings are her personal favorite, as it “sets up the mood for the day”.
On social media, Samantha’s fitness routine doesn’t give off the image of an easy journey. From barbell squats to deadlifts, Samantha trains with a level of intensity that reflects both discipline and determination. In many of her posts, she highlights the importance of form, controlled movements and progressive loading.
