In a candid conversation on the Jan. 22 episode of Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, Amy Schumer opened up about her recent diagnosis of Cushing syndrome. The 43-year-old comedian revealed that it was actually comments from people about her “moon face” that prompted her to seek medical help and eventually led to the diagnosis.
Cushing syndrome is a rare condition that occurs when the body is exposed to high levels of the hormone cortisol for an extended period of time. Symptoms can include weight gain, fatigue, and changes in appearance, such as a rounded face, which is where the term “moon face” comes from.
Schumer shared her journey of receiving the diagnosis and how she has been coping with the condition. Through her honesty and vulnerability, she is bringing awareness to Cushing syndrome and shining a light on the importance of listening to our bodies and seeking medical help when something doesn’t seem right.
Fans and followers of Schumer have been showing their support and admiration for her transparency and bravery in sharing her health struggles. As always, Schumer is using her platform to educate and inform others, proving once again that she is not just a talented comedian, but a fearless advocate for open conversations about important topics.
