Camilla received the diagnosis at the start of the summer and has since started taking the thyroid medication Levothyroxine.
“I feel like I have so much less inflammation,” said the Tomb Raider voice actress. “I was very puffy all the time, not knowing why I was exhausted. I was not working out. I hadn’t seen a workout class in years, and 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.”
“It feels like a lot of self-care at this point, just avoiding gluten and all these things that I’m sort of learning,” Camilla shared.
The bright spot amid all of this is that the mom-of-two immediately understands the reason behind some of her symptoms.
She remembers experiencing “a lot of brain fog,” which she immediately knows can be attributed to your thyroid being out of whack.
“The exhaustion of brain fog. So just literally being able to be present with whoever on set, with my family, is a huge difference,” the actress adds.
The 22nd season of Grey’s Anatomy will premiere on October 9. Camilla was recently in attendance at a celebration for the show reaching its milestone 450th episode.
