Daisy Ridley, the renowned 'Star Wars' actress, revealed her diagnosis of Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder affecting the thyroid, last September. Initially attributing her symptoms—such as fatigue, weight loss, and heart palpitations—to the stress of her role in the film 'Magpie,' Ridley later sought help from an endocrinologist. Graves' disease causes the thyroid to produce excessive hormones, leading to various health issues, and is more commonly diagnosed in women. In managing her condition, Ridley has adopted a gluten-free diet and incorporated wellness practices like acupuncture and infrared saunas. She has been open about her ongoing health struggles, including endometriosis and polycystic ovaries, and reflects on her resilience during this challenging period. Ridley shared her experiences in a feature for Women's Health, emphasizing the need for awareness about such autoimmune disorders.
