Rebel Wilson lost 80 lbs. in 2020, dubbing it her “year of health.”
The “Pitch Perfect” star was 39 going on 40, and told her doctor she wanted to pursue in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and freeze her eggs.
The doctor looked her up and down and told her, “You’re really unhealthy. You’d have a much better chance if you were healthy.”
“It was a kick in the stomach kind of thing,” Wilson, now 45, says. “I didn’t have any serious disease. But if I kept going at the rate I was, maybe I would have.”
Wilson was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) at 21 and prescribed birth control pills to manage her symptoms. Her doctors never mentioned that losing weight could help alleviate them.
