The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers reveal that Jacqueline MacInnes Wood has played Steffy Forrester Finnegan for years.

While the actress is a class act and takes really good care of herself, there was a time when her health suffered. It actually happened during Wood’s reign as Steffy.

The soap star opened up about her health battle and what she did to turn things around. Keep reading and let’s get into the details.

Juggling & Impulsivity

Speaking to Soaps, Jacqueline started playing the role of Steffy in June 2008. In her 20s, the actress was juggling a lot of different things. In hindsight, the actress said she was quite impulsive in her younger years.

To keep up, Wood was consuming five-hour energy shots to get her through the day. It worked, but left her just running on fumes. Going through that each day eventually took a toll.

Skin Problems & Unrecognizability

Jacqueline explained that she didn’t even look like her anymore. The actress dealt with skin break-outs and was way too thin. A dermatologist prescribed medication but it wasn’t getting to the core issue. To Jacqueline, it felt like a band-aid, not a solution.

“I was drinking five-hour energy drinks to get me through the day and running on fumes. I was running myself into the ground to the point where I didn’t even look like myself anymore. I was so thin, and my skin was breaking out.”

Taking Control

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers reveal that at that point, Jacqueline took control of her health. Fans these days always comment on how amazing and healthy the actress looks, even during each of her pregnancies. The actress spends time working out, but also takes time for recovery and rest.

Before Jacqueline became a mom, she got control of her life and health. Now Wood doesn’t just have to stay healthy for herself. She now does it for herself, her husband, and her children.

Final Message

In closing, Jacqueline is now close to delivering her fifth child. Because her family is continuing to grow, Wood says that important lifestyle changes had to happen.

“And that was before kids! Now, I have the added incentive of wanting to be healthy for not only myself and my husband, but for them, too.”

It’s wonderful that Wood took control of her health and turned things around before they were too late. Way to go!
