Daisy Ridley recently disclosed in a Women’s Health story that she received a September 2023 diagnosis of Graves’ illness. Graves’ illness is an immune system malfunction that results in the thyroid producing too many hormones. Shaking, heat sensitiveness, diminished appetite, and inflammation of the skin are typical symptoms.
Graves’s situation was conveyed to the endocrinologist, who then stated that she frequently felt “tired but weird.” Ridley became aware of how restless she had grown during the initial phases of the illness. “It was funny, I was like, ‘Oh, I just thought I was annoyed at the world,’” Ridley said. “But turns out everything is functioning so quickly, you can’t chill out.”
After receiving the diagnosis, Ridley, who has been vegan for a number of years, also stopped eating gluten. She acknowledges that she is not “super strict about it,” but says that she “generally” feels better after changing her diet. The “Star Wars” actress has also included acupuncture, cryotherapy, and infrared baths in her health regimen to aid alleviate symptoms. She also always has a bit of rose quartz on her person, which is supposed to ease emotional upheaval, enhance inner tranquillity, and encourage self-love.
“I do a fair amount of the holistic stuff, but I also understand that it is a privilege to be able to do those things,” Ridley stated.
