She's been open about her health battles recently (Cori Broadus/Instagram)She didn't detail what led up to her stroke, but she was only six-years-old when she was diagnosed with lupus. Lupus is a disease that occurs when your body's immune system attacks your own tissues and organs. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems — including your joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs, according to Mayo Clinic. It can also increase the risk of a stroke.

It was in September last year that Cori opened up about her battle with the condition. "I've been good, better than I've ever been," she told PEOPLE. She told the outlet she'd gone "all natural" after a tough health journey, including a suicide attempt in 2021.
"I stopped taking all of my medication like five months ago," Cori continued. "I'm just doing everything natural, all types of herbs, sea moss, teas. I started working out, drinking lots of water. So now I think my body's like, OK, this is the new program and she's getting used to it.
"I've had medication since I was 6 years old, depending on these drugs all my life. So I wanted better for myself. 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."
She admitted having "achy joints", but said her new health kick made sure she wasn't complaining about her knees, feet, hands and back. "It's continuously a learning process because there's so much more I could be doing," she explained.
Cori said at the time that she still struggled with "eating terribly" and "not getting the proper rest". Adding to the outlet: "If I can do a whole 360 change and just get healthy all around, I think I would be so good. 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."
