Cassy Legaspi Shares Her Journey with Hypothyroidism
CASSY LEGASPI – Actress Cassy Legaspi breaks her silence about her struggle with hypothyroidism, shedding light on the challenges she faced and how she overcame them.
Actress Cassy Legaspi recently opened up about her diagnosis of hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland fails to produce sufficient hormones. In the January 24 episode of Kapuso Artistambayan, she shared how her friends and family noticed symptoms that encouraged her to seek medical attention.
“I’m always sick. Hindi ko na kaya maging madaldal. Fatigued ako, tapos intense falling hair. Sobra talaga. Tapos palagi akong nilalamig, parang may fever ako palagi, pero fever na nilalamig,” Legaspi revealed. She also talked about her struggles with weight loss in the past, which compounded her health issues.
After her diagnosis, Legaspi decided to focus on achieving overall health instead of fixating on losing weight. “Noong nagpa-check up ako, na-realize ko na ang new goal is to [be] healthy,” she said. “Sabi ko talaga, ‘Alam mo at this point Cassandra, huwag ka nang magpapayat.”
During the interview, her twin brother Mavy expressed his unwavering support, sharing that they often exercise together to stay healthy.
In another interview with GMA’s Oras, Legaspi discussed her fitness routine, which includes activities such as tennis and paddling. She highlighted the importance of balance in her lifestyle, saying, “I don’t cut out carbs anymore. I don’t like restrictions because that’s what got me into this mess in the first place.”
Outside her health journey, Legaspi has made headlines for her rumored relationship with performer and TV host Darren Espanto. The two were frequently seen together in 2024, sparking speculation. However, Espanto clarified in April that they are just best friends, a sentiment Legaspi affirmed shortly after.
Cassy Legaspi’s candidness about her health challenges and her commitment to a balanced, healthy lifestyle serve as an inspiration. By prioritizing her well-being over societal expectations, she exemplifies resilience and self-care, encouraging others to embrace wellness on their own terms.
