Thai actor Nadech Kugimiya reveals health issues from excessive exercise

Thai actor Nadech Kugimiya has shared his experience with hypothyroidism, a condition resulting from extreme fitness routines and severe calorie restriction. During an appearance on the program ‘On the way with Chom’, he explained that his intense training and eating only one meal a day led to hormonal imbalances and vitamin deficiencies, with bodily markers comparable to those of a 60-year-old.

Kugimiya noted that his attempt to lose weight rapidly caused bodily inflammation, leading his system to store fat due to a lack of energy. He is now following medical advice to manage his condition through medication and a more balanced lifestyle. Despite these health challenges, he expressed plans to compete in the HYROX competition next year as part of a mixed double team with actress Yaya.
