Dana Rogoz suffers from a thyroid condition, autoimmune thyroiditis, which can trigger a series of unpleasant symptoms. Autoimmune thyroiditis can cause hypothyroidism, i.e. a below-normal secretion of thyroid hormones, this condition being common among women. Among the most common symptoms of the disease are weight gain and fatigue.
What is, in fact, autoimmune thyroiditis, the disease from which Dana Rogoz suffers. What are the symptoms?
“I have autoimmune thyroid, that is, problems related to hypothyroidism rather, that is, I could have a tendency to gain weight. At the moment I don’t feel the so-called periods of weight gain that are somehow specific to the disease, although, on the contrary, everyone thinks that I have hyperthyroidism, because I am thin, but I actually have hypothyroidism. Instead, I feel changes in the texture of my skin, I feel that it dries more, I have other related problems. Or I can have worse conditions and usually then I check my analyzes and see if it is necessary to increase my treatment dose”, said Dana Rogoz.
In 2020, Dana Rogoz learned, following extensive medical investigations, that she is prone to developing type 2 diabetes in the future. The star stated that this fact was not exactly a shock to her, having a family history of diabetes. Her father, to be exact, faced this type of diabetes.

The organism self-destructs
Autoimmune thyroiditis or Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, which can lead to insufficient secretion of thyroid hormones.
The signs and symptoms of the disease are often subtle and can easily be confused with the changes that occur in the body with age.
Symptoms become more obvious as the condition worsens. These can be:
- severe fatigue
- weight gain
- sleepiness
- cold intolerance
- dry skin and hair
- muscular cramps
- constipation
- irregular cycle
- depression
Because the thyroid no longer produces enough hormones, a medicinal treatment is necessary to compensate for this deficiency. Usually, hormone treatment is well tolerated.
And also, diet is also extremely important. Some recommendations regarding proper nutrition for patients with hypothyroidism would be:
- avoiding highly processed foods (packaged pastries, fast food and junk food, acidic juices, etc.)
- avoiding foods rich in salt and/or iodine
Instead, it is recommended to eat foods rich in selenium and zinc.
