Moira Dela Torre opened up about the process she underwent to “correct” her hormones, disclosing she was declared to be “infertile” for two years and was diagnosed with an eating disorder.
The singer revealed this while showing her weight loss after over a year into her medication, which included “no exercise, no diet and no surgeries,” as per her Instagram page on Thursday, March 9.
“[One] year and a month apart — from 180 lbs to 120 lbs— 60 lbs lighter and cleared of Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism, estrogen dominance, and no longer infertile after [two years] of being declared to be,” she wrote.
Dela Torre further disclosed that she “secretly became bulimic for two years” in 2020, which left her “struggling mentally and physically.” She was then introduced by broadcaster Karen Davila, who Dela Torre had an interview with in 2021, to a doctor who “started working on [her] hormones and forever changed [her] life for the better.”
“[The doctor] had me take a hormone test, where she found out what really was messing up my system (stress, depression and misdiagnosed [polycystic ovary syndrome] for years),” Dela Torre stated. “I’ve been known to be someone whose weight fluctuated a lot—and I’d get conscious, not really because of my physical appearance but more so because of how i felt internally.”
“I always felt uncomfortable and unable to function at my best. So when we got to the real root of all the misalignment, she knew exactly which supplements to give me and the rest is history,” she continued.
Dela Torre, who is currently abroad for a concert tour, then spoke about how the changes in her body helped her to be “fully present” and “completely enjoy” this season in her life. She said she recently visited a gym, her first time in about three years.
“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,” she said. “Today, I went to the gym for the first time in 2 (maybe 3) years, [and] don’t ever remember feeling this happy and healthy in my life.”
After sharing her health journey, Dela Torre received love and cheers from fellow celebrities including Anne Curtis, Chito Miranda, Ogie Alcasid, TJ Monterde and Dani Barretto.

Aside from her weight loss, fans of Dela Torre have also been noticing the singer’s glow-up after her separation from estranged husband, fellow singer Jason Marvin Hernandez. Dela Torre spoke about this and declared that she “just healed” from her heartbreak, and that going through the healing process boosted her self-confidence. /ra
