¨Severe weight gain followed by episodes of depression¨ Ben Kitili´s wife opens up on acute health condition
KTN senior anchor, Ben Kitili´s wife, Amina Mude has opened up on a health condition that saw her gain pounds within a short period.
The riveting mother of 2 who is now the envy of many – following a well-toned curvy body that she proudly flaunts online – started from far.
The journalist´s wife revealed she was diagnosed with a condition ´hypothyroidism´ in 2015 soon after the birth of their daughter.
Depression and weight gain were her biggest worries.
A lifestyle change, as well as proper medications, have helped me lose 30 kgs from 110 kgs to 80 kgs. From the DMs I have received, weight issues and depression are the most common issues my thyroid warriors are dealing with.
Fortunately enough, her body duly responded to her lifestyle changes and prescribed medications. It is now 4 years since, and she celebrates the journey.
Thank God that I was hypothyroid. 4 years down the line, I have been able to control my thyroid levels. I am happier and healthier.
Narrating the ordeal, the beauty shared:
Depression and severe weight gain were my biggest concern. I was 95 kgs from 69 kgs. This was followed by episodes of depression. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism back in 2015 immediately after I had my daughter. I was experiencing almost all symptoms of hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism is a condition whereby the thyroid gland is not able to produce enough thyroid hormone, therefore people with this condition experience symptoms associated with a slow metabolism.
