OPM hitmaker Moira Dela Torre shocked everyone with her massive weight loss reveal on Instagram, and shared the journey she underwent to address her various health issues.
Dela Torre said she had to undergo a process to “correct” her hormones and was even declared “infertile” for two years.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, the singer shared before and after photos to show the changes in her look after being under medication for over a year and losing 60 pounds.
“1 year and a month apart — from 180lbs to 120lbs — 60lbs lighter and cleared of hashimoto’s hypothyroidism, estrogen dominance, and no longer infertile after 2yrs of being declared to be,” she said in her caption.
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system stops recognizing the thyroid as part of the body and begins attacking it, according to endocrineweb.com.

Hormonal matters
Dela Torre said she did not do anything drastic except address her hormone issues.
“No exercise, no diet, no surgeries — I only have @thecoreclinic to thank for correcting my hormones (and I’ve never even met them in person,” she said.
Weighty issue
She also revealed that she had Bulimia for two years, saying this happened “during a season that left me struggling mentally and physically.”
But when she met her doctor from The Core Clinic who decided to take a look at her hormone levels, her health issues were addressed.
She had me take a hormone test, where she found out what really was messing up my system (stress, depression and misdiagnosed pcos for years),”

She noted that her weight has been known to fluctuate a lot, and she would become conscious of this. Her main concern was not really her appearance, but how she felt internally, which was “uncomfortable and unable to function at my best.”
So when her doctor got to the root of all her misalignments, she began feeling better.
A new Moira
Dela Torre, who is currently on tour, looked back on her previous condition and noted that she was sickly in the past, unlike her healthier self now.
She also said that because of the positive changes in her body and her mentality, she has never felt more present and happy with every unfolding season of her life.
Mentally, I’ve never felt so alive. I felt 100% and felt so happy doing what I love, especially being able to do it well,”
