Kelis opens 1 year after husband’s death
The “Milkshake” singer explained on Instagram that her wellness journey began many years ago when she became a mother for the first time. However, her husband was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer in 2021. This prompted her to research more about the different ways her family could improve their habits.
“My husband Mike got sick, that was a few years ago… he was diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer. It was just such a shock. We eat well, we already lived on the farm… so we were already eating well and really focusing on what we were putting into our bodies.”
Kelis added that she and her husband learned about ozone therapy, a practice in which ozone gas is injected into the body to treat wounds and illnesses, as reported by Healthline. However, his tumor returned and spread throughout his body.
Kelis says she is a private person and speaks out about the fallout from Mike Mora’s death
The mother-of-three revealed she moved to a farm to disconnect herself and her family from the “stupid things” that can cause anxiety, but doesn’t deny the impact her husband’s death has had on her life.
Additionally, the singer shared an encouraging message with followers, stressing that health is something they can “take control” of. The 34-year-old also shared the video with a caption, delving further into her reflections.
“It’s been exactly a year… that’s crazy about me. I’m generally a very private person, especially when it comes to family. But there is no denying the impact and development my husband’s death had on my life. I get asked all the time how I started this journey. It’s a much longer conversation, but in short, what we’ve covered here has pushed me so deeply into understanding our bodies and how our minds and emotions are so intertwined that you can’t cover one without the other. Our thoughts and intentions are as powerful and crucial as our skin health and fitness. I want to live well and here I share what I believe to be true.”
