Selena Gomez is among the most popular pop stars in the world. After her meteoric rise as a Disney child star, Gomez embarked on a successful music career. She also continues to act. However, her path to superstardom hasn’t been obstacle-free. In 2015, Gomez announced she had struggled with Lupus, a rare disease where the immune system turns against the body it’s supposed to protect. The incurable disease has severely affected her health, fitness, and quality of life.

Over the years, Gomez has taken breaks to deal with the disease. The singer has gone through chemotherapy and a kidney transplant. Recently, the 24-year-old daughter of another titan of the music industry opened up about her lupus diagnosis. While she hasn’t required surgical procedures like Gomez, Snoop Dogg’s daughter has turned to fitness to manage the symptoms.

However, some positive lifestyle changes help manage the symptoms. In a recent interview with People Magazine, Cori Broadus said she turned to fitness to help her manage lupus.
