    Steph, you're an astonishing teacher. Encouraging without self-righteousness or pomposity, self-effacing while utterly engaged, personally revealing enough to show our common human frailty, but also relentlessly hopeful and doggedly determined to succeed - AND it's not all some theoretical, nonsensical sales talk: it's real, with real results for mere mortals.

    Thank you so much for this video! So much exercise content is about losing weight or getting your body to look a certain way. It's a good reminder that it's a joy & privilege to be able to move your body.

    This is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time and really lifted my spirits right now. I just lost an incredible friend who was such a light in this world to an autoimmune disorder at only 35 years old. With a broken heart, I remembered this channel and came over with the intention of hearing a story of hope. I’m blown away by your progress and it makes me so incredibly happy!! Even the way you talk now is full of breath and full of life. Thank god for this medication. I’m so happy for you. I’m on a fitness journey myself, with a chronic illness, and you’ve just inspired me even more to amp it up. Thank you for being such a huge source of inspiration to so many people!! ♥️

    My sister was getting really bad with her CF a couple years ago but with clinical trials and pharmacal improvements she is now superseded the life expectancy of 2 to now 21 years old since they came out with the pill for her gene type and I love her so much, and so happy and thankful that she is able to live a better quality of life. She now doesn't take as much drugs as she used to, she no longer needs a G-Tube and a port, and she doesn't need to go for nowhere near as many appointments as she used to.

    Many years ago I've lost two friends (who were siblings) because of cystic fibrosis. Whenever I watch your videos I can't help but think that they could still be alive if only Trikafta came out a decade earlier. Even though you point out that it doesn't work for everyone. But in the here and now, I am so glad that it works for you and that you finally get to enjoy living! Your hapiness and the fact that Trikafta is changing lives today is somehow giving me peace. I wish you all the best in life and that you get to do and enjoy everything you want to. Thank you so much for your videos.

    I'm so glad you're still here :) I'm disabled with multiple chronic pain conditions and I'm so glad you mentioned mental health as well. Fitness can be any kind of movement, even if it's just dancing for 10 minutes, a short walk, or a quick stretch. It all counts and it's all so beneficial for mental health, especially for those of us in the chronic illness community! ❤

      I needed to hear this so badly today. I am still grieving the loss of being able to use my body the way I used to. It’s the new little losses that get me. But finding what I still can do, motivates me to keep seeking out more. “Any movement is exercise” is my new mantra 🖤 thank you beautiful human!!

      @@priscillapowers1014 I needed to hear this too. Doctors need to focus on emotional health as well as any other health issues. ( a prayer for all who suffer in one way or another ). PS: I lost 60% use of my left lung in 2019 (Never smoked and 69) , I force myself to walk and dance, even if a little bit. xo

    I cried watching this. I suffer from severe chronic back pain and if I'm ever able to move properly again, I will be running as well. having physical autonomy is something I will never take for granted again. You look and sound so great Stephi. you're amazing! I'm so happy for you. You deserve so much health and happiness.

    I just started watching your channel about six months ago. Each time I tune in, I see someone living their best life... ups and downs. I have been on my own healing journey for 9 years now and as someone who could barely move for about a six month period, I cherish each Zumba class, every weight lifted and every plant I tend to in my gardens. Keep on, keeping on sister! ✌🏼💜💫💃🏼🌻

    I found your channel maybe 2 or 3 weeks before you started those lifechanging, lifesaving meds. And I always check back for updates to see how you’re doing. Your life before and after is so markedly different. Like two different people, but the same at the core of your being. Watching as you’ve transformed, watching you become the version of yourself you were always meant to be, it’s been absolutely amazing. I’m so so so happy for you ♥️

    I've been a subscriber for a long time but for some reason haven't seen a video in a few years, I don't really watch much youtube these days but it popped up on my homepage earlier and I clicked and I'm honestly very happy to see the progress she's made in her health. A massive congratulations because I remember the videos of the tough times.

    You are such an inspiration I say this again and again on a lot of your videos. I’m 49 years old I live with Ehlers-Danlos so it’s very hard for me to move. But you give me the inspiration to move to the best of my ability. You’re so amazing and I know that you’re helping a lot of people. Peace.

    I have been watching your videos for approximately 5 years. I was always inspired by the way you lived your life despite your health condition, but seeing you now and after being diagnosed with hypertension at the age of 25 helps me a lot. I have been through A lot of frustration and anger, I asked myself, why me? My life has changed completely and sometimes I can't accept it, being young and not being able to do so many things that other young people do makes me very desperate. I hope one day to see myself the way I see you now, moving forward despite everything. You are a very strong woman and a great inspiration to me. Blessings from the bottom of my heart..! ♡
