Kelly Slater’s girlfriend fought a disease for 20 years

During his interview, Kelly Slater revealed that his long-time girlfriend Kalani Miller experienced an autoimmune disease for 20 years. Autoimmune diseases prevent the body from fighting back diseases and infections. In fact, it wrongfully attacks the healthy cells, tissues, and organs in the body. Suffering from the disease for nearly 20 years, Kalani consumed methotrexates and many other gnarly steroids. Slater revealed in the interview that throughout her experience, “She had been to tons and tons of doctors for 20 years” 

After experiencing these hardships, Kalani comprehended the things that best worked out for her. Most importantly, she adapted to a healthier lifestyle to look after herself. Kalani resorted to healthier food options and routines that suited her body the best. In fact, not just herself, Kalani also takes care of Kelly’s lifestyle. She insists on him taking his vitamin pills on time and consuming the right meals for himself. 

Slater further summarized Kalani’s healing process, saying, “She has learned enough to basically heal herself through the people we’ve met around the world, geneticists we’ve seen naturopaths, we’ve seen all different modalities of doctors and trying to put it all together.”
