Seven years after complications from Hashimoto's thyroiditis ended her blossoming career with New York City Ballet, the 30-year-old is back in the spotlight.
Finally, a family friend, an internist, agreed to run every test he could think of. When he did, he found an underlying cause of her thyroid dysfunction: an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. When someone has Hashimoto’s, “the patient’s immune system produces antibodies that target and damage thyroid tissue,” explains Dr. Amal Shibli-Rahhal, M.D., a professor of endocrinology and metabolism at the University of Iowa medical school.

It caused her to lose her appetite, she told her fans in a video explaining the rapid change in her appearance: “I could not eat anything for about a month and a half.” She estimates she lost 25 pounds in the space of five months, most of it rapidly, in the immediate aftermath of the breakup. “That is not a good way to lose weight,” she warned her viewers.
“Things came back fairly easily,” she says. “I was surprised how natural things seemed to be after so many years of struggling.” Fast footwork and jumps eluded her, but six years after leaving City Ballet, and eight years since her body changed so dramatically, she was finally dancing again. In April of this year, Morgan announced a final triumph: She had called legendary former ballerina Lourdes Lopez, artistic director of Miami City Ballet. Were there any open positions? Lopez invited her to take a few days’ worth of company classes as an audition, “which was a great setup because only having one chance can be highly stressful,” Morgan says.
At 30 years old—well past middle-aged for a ballerina—having not danced consistently for seven years, which is the longest break she’s ever heard of someone taking, she’ll be back on stage in Miami this month.
