Dannii Minogue Thyroid – weight loss explained
SMH, October 11, 2011
Dannii Minogue is receiving treatment for an under-active thyroid, which caused her to shed weight after giving birth.
The singer-turned-reality TV show judge had her first child, son Ethan, last year, but shortly after leaving hospital she fell ill and suffered a bout of appendicitis.
She spent months believing her subsequent tiredness and rundown state was a consequence of her new role as a mum, but she was eventually diagnosed with a thyroid condition.

Under-active thyroid doesn’t shed weight, it puts weight on.
Shedding weight = overactive thyroid, Graves disease, or a focal hotspot, or to much thyroxine (thyroid med)
That’s correct – and in this case there were other factors like appendicitis which probably caused weight loss. I posted this article because it is of general interest and highlights that weight changes can be due to thyroid disease. Thank you very much for your feedback.
