Actress and TV host Casey Legaspi revealed that she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, that is causing her to feel fatigued, and feeling cold.

According to the website MedicinePlus, Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. An underactive thyroid gland can lead to weight gain, tiredness, and feeling cold constantly. Thyroid hormones (thyroxine) regulate metabolism, which is how the body uses energy. If thyroxine levels are low, many of the body’s functions slow down.

During her guesting on “Kapuso Artistambayan,” Casey shared more information about her illness and her plans to combat it.

“Feeling fatigued ako tapos intense falling hair. Tapos palagi akong nilalamig, parang may fever ako palagi, pero fever na nilalamig, parang ganoon. Hindi ko ma-explain, always sick tapos hindi ko na kaya mag-gym, mag-workout, hindi na ako madaldal. Who is Cassy without being madaldal?” Casey said.

“I think my new goal is to be healthy, Sabi ko talaga, ‘Alam mo, at this point, Cassandra, wag ka nang… maging healthy ka muna. Pagkatapos ng healthy, doon ka na maging sėxy. Parang ganoon, may abs, may (pointing to her arm muscles)” Casey added.
