Jennifer Lopez recently shared her experience of working 98 consecutive days without a break, which led to a health scare. In an episode of the “SmartLess” podcast, Lopez recalled a period when she was juggling major projects, including filming the 2002 psychological thriller “Enough” and promoting her second album, “J.Lo.”

A Grueling Schedule

Lopez said she counted the days and realized she had gone nearly 100 days without any time off work. The demanding schedule eventually took a toll on her health. “I sat down and all of a sudden I just couldn’t see,” Lopez said. “Like something just went over my eyes and I couldn’t move.”

She was taken to the hospital, where doctors told her that her body had essentially shut down due to exhaustion. Lopez has since spoken about the importance of balance after pushing herself to extremes early in her career.
