The 42-year-old Grey’s Anatomy actress announced she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease over the summer<\/p>\n

The mother-of-two said, ‘I feel like I have so much less inflammation. I was very puffy all the time, not knowing why I was exhausted.’<\/p>\n

She added, ‘I was not working out. I hadn’t seen a workout class in years, and 1759740977 I’m back at Barry’s bootcamp lifting weights. So I feel more myself. I feel like I have more energy for work, for my family.’<\/p>\n

And the longtime TV star continued, ‘It feels like a lot of self-care at this point, just avoiding gluten and all these things that I’m sort of learning.’<\/p>\n

Camilla initially got candid about her health status on an August episode of her podcast Call It What It Is<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She told co-host Jennifer Capshaw that she was ‘freaked out’ by the diagnosis at first, but was also ‘relieved’ to have an answer to the symptoms she had been experiencing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While discussing the condition with People at\u00a0Step Up’s 2025 Inspiration Awards on September 26, she reflected on the clarity she felt post-diagnosis.<\/p>\n

‘One thing that I couldn’t understand was I had a lot of brain fog, and now I understand that when your thyroid is sort of all over the place, that’s what that can feel like \u2014 the exhaustion of brain fog,’ she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The British entertainer emphasized, ‘So just literally being able to be present with whoever on set, with my family, is a huge difference.’<\/p>\n

In the August 6 episode of her podcast, she told listeners, ‘Long as you’ve been listening to us, you’ve known that I joke about being slothy.<\/p>\n

‘Just a little slower. Slower, tired, wanna be in bed, love a nap. It never occurred to me that there could be a medical reason for that.’<\/p>\n

She went on the explain that blood work helped doctors zero in on her Hashimoto’s disease prognosis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, the disease directly affects the thyroid gland, per MayoClinic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Camilla said at the time, ‘I remember hearing the words “autoimmune disease” and thinking, “What the f***?”<\/p>\n

‘You know what? I knew something was up. Because even when I was having my blood drawn, the doctor said to me, “Is there any, you know, particular thing you’re concerned about?” And I said, “Look, I’m really f*****g tired all the time.”‘<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Camilla Luddington is sharing an update after receiving a life-altering health diagnosis.
