Thyroid Update & Hair Status 🍁 Color Chats & Chris! | VLOGTOBER 2024 | Kathryn Morgan

[@daryador3847]

Amazing piano skills, please continue! Wow!

[@karenb1206]

Thank you for playing the piano for us. It's so wonderful to see your skills in another arena. ❤

[@MissLee545]

Awwww, I’m so sorry about your thyroid flare. I kind of thought that might be the issue after watching your life update video. I hate that you’re going through this, but so relieved you got the blood work done and can now focus on getting better. You are so lovely - a true beauty and I love watching you perform. I’m not a dancer, but appreciate the art so much. I found your channel during Covid and have been following you ever since. All the best to you, and prayers for healing. ❤

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@allthatjazz343]

I loved listening to you play snow yesterday and today! I’m a dancer at Alabama ballet and we actually do balanchines nut, it’s just so sad the most beautiful music is to a bed just moving around a stage haha. When I hear music played on piano it’s so nice to hear different parts of the music one may not notice in the full orchestration. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing ❤️

[@TheKodiakKub]

You are so talented and accomplished! This is an extremely difficult piece to play, especially SNOW. It gives me butterflies to hear this music. I could listen to you play all day long, this was an extra special treat - thank you!❤

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much!

[@2012Namaste]

I think we need a series of you playing ballet music on piano 😍 it's wonderful to hear it played at a dancers tempo for a change! Maybe a Nutcracker on piano series for Christmas?

[@kathryn_morgan]

I love it! That’s the issue- I have SO much respect for the pianists who play for rehearsals (especially at NYCB) because often they had to play everything WARP speed!

[@2012Namaste]

@@kathryn_morgan absolutely! I could listen to ballet pianists play for hours 😍 I wish one of them would release an album of them playing, or maybe that could be a future Kathryn Morgan project? 🙏🏻

[@ericagoehring1089]

So fun to hear and watch you play piano!

[@CL-lo4wd]

I am so sorry that you are having a thyroid flare up 💔 Please know that you are loved by so many, and we are all rooting for you. Sending you love and prayers for your health and happiness always! ❤

[@juliette3597]

The piano!! So gorgeous!! Feel better and loving the return to old school Katie vlogs. Glad you are making decisions to do what you feel is best for your time on this earth, what could be more important. All my best , French press girl

[@alicja6260]

I‘m so happy you’re doing Vlogtober ❤️ greetings from Germany, Katie ☺️

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you!

[@intodew]

Feel you so hard on the thyroid blood work. I have hashimotos as well and my TSH skyrocketed to 6.4. I brought up concerns to my doc when my TSH was at 3 (my hair was falling out, tired etc) didn’t do anything. Didn’t update the meds. They waited until I was sicker to up my dose of levo. They told me the dose I was taking was for a child and I’m a grown woman! So frustrating!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Ughhhhh I’m so sorry. That’s the worst! It’s beyond frustrating.

[@rebeccasundstrom9757]

Oh! I'm so happy that you found out you're a soft summer! I always thought you were 😍 - fellow soft-sister here (soft autumn). You look beautiful in your colours. I think I commented many years ago that I thought you looked beautiful in cooler colours (didn't want to be too pushy with the whole colour-analysis thing!) And also to note, the sister-season to soft summer is dark winter! So if you still want to wear some of winters's colours sometimes you can always reach for dark winter as your "next best" (the lighter, gentler from the palette!) Thank you for inspiring me to start taking ballet-classes in 2019 💫 Lots of love from Sweden! 😇💖

[@oggtastic]

I have Hashimotos and alopecia and I've had really good results with oiling my scalp around an hour or two before I wash it (I use one that has rosemary, jojoba, tea tree and peppermint oil). I also love my Dyson airwrap for drying, wayyy less damaging than a normal dryer.

[@kathryn_morgan]

Oh that’s smart. Thank you!

[@AlexandraSibley]

The green blouse you wore for yesterday looked amazing on you! Color theory is so fascinating. I'm also a soft summer. I'm so sorry to hear about the thyroid flare. It is the absolute worst (fellow Hashimoto's girl here). Hope you feel better soon!

[@susietheballerina]

I had no idea you were such a great piano player too! Amazing!

[@estherhadassa1061]

Love it that you're back vlogging! I'm normally not into watching vlogs, but I'm always excited to see your vlogs. And I've been following since almost the beginning, I think. I've been fond of your energy on camera right from the start. Love your piano skills! That thyroid flare up is such an annoying thing, just when you think it's going well... the immune system goes, "Yep, but nope, you're on your own again cause I'm not working." And often enough it's when you need to be well the most. Soft Summer indeed looks awesome on you. It seems I'm on the see-saw between Soft Summer and Soft Autumn, but a Soft for sure. With both the cool tones and the warm tones I have colours I look good in and some not so good. Often if an certain colour from Soft Summer doesn't work, the Soft Autumn alternative looks better, and vice versa. Looking forward to the next vlog. From the Netherlands with love, Esther

[@gersandelf]

These vlogs are a lot of fun. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into what's going on, it's lovely to see you smiling more too.

[@lgarvey11]

Love that you're doing these again! Snow Pas is my absolute favorite, makes me cry every time. Thanks so much for playing for us!

[@user-np6wq1tx9c]

These are my favorite kinds of videos that you do. So glad you are doing them again. And you play beautifully!❤

[@kendrajohnson6535]

Your piano playing is a joy to watch and listen to - thank you for sharing it again :)

[@kaceysmith947]

Katie, thank you as always for sharing your experiences, you continue to be one of my biggest role models. I have also gone gluten free with having hashimotos and being in the early stages of diabetes (trying to reverse it) and found that it has helped. I so appreciate you and your work!

[@kylanhiggs7536]

I’m obsessed with color theory too! I’m a true summer, now I understand why I felt like my normal eyeshadow routine had started to feel too heavy for me and I live in white, grey and navy these days.

[@iiWaffles95]

REALLY love the vlogs lately. Hoping it's less stressful for you and please take care of yourself!

[@crustyrash]

Watching you play piano reminds me of how marvelous live accompaniment is when taking a dance class.

[@nichole2861]

Wonderful piano segment. Brings back so many memories being in the studio.

[@meaghan8740]

❤I just love your personality:) you are so authentic and lovely! Thank you for doing vlogs again! My question for your next q&a: I am wondering how you handle any anxiety around aging and the future in general. I am 43 and freaking out about it, lol!❤

[@glitterpuss1]

I’ve recently discovered my thyroid has been slacking - TSH of 9.2! Trying to find the balance with the meds but it really resonated hearing you say seeing the numbers validates how you feel. For the Q&A - I’ve recently started ballet (at 47!) but have danced Lindy Hop / Jazz for 10+ years and my brain is confused! Have you danced other styles and do you find it confusing?

[@lawrenceferry4718]

I’ve enjoyed following your wonderful barres now for many years. Thanks so much for sharing ! Very sorry your health issues have returned, and hopeful they will soon be resolved.❤

[@Missfrankiecat]

All these years I've watched you and never realised you are an accomplished pianist!!

[@FringyBeanie]

I've had hormonal hair loss and I'm on meds for it now, but I can highly recommend rosemary oil a couple times a week! It really really helps with regrowth and also makes your hair really shiny and healthy :) P.S. ur amazing at piano!!!!

[@CaitlynGo]

I love watching you play the piano!

[@a.phillips6892]

Our hair is a lot alike! I’m constantly trying to preserve mine, and take many vitamins. It’s in a bun or ponytail every day, I rarely wear it down. Finn is so cute! Did you rescue him? Your piano playing is beautiful!

[@brendadufaur37]

Your nutcracker piano playing was so good. Do you still take a ballet class every day?

[@kristinastyers3004]

Wow!!! You are a wonderful pianist! What a treat to hear you play!!! I too take Armour for my thyroid. It's been working great so far! Hopefully it will work well for you too!

[@user-zl3qe8lx1d]

You are stunning and so talented! You and your husband are lovely couple. Wishing you well with thyroid, take care!🎶🩰✨

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much!!

[@Spiralyne]

You are the opposite to crazy, Katie 😊. I hope you will feel better very soon ❤. It’s really amazing how some colors bring out our eye-color 👀🙂 You ace at piano, I didn’t know that before.

[@kathryn_morgan]

Thank you so much!

[@k.ashleynorton6553]

Loving the piano ending the blog.

[@wendycrook7319]

How on earth were you able to learn the piano so well and dance. I’m in awe. I gave up piano to devote all my time to ballet. But you managed to become a superstar and master piano. You are so amazingly talented. I’m sorry the thyroid continues to cause problems. I hope they get you feeling well soon. Will you be doing Sugarplum anywhere this year?

[@seaofglass77]

Yay a Chris sighting! We miss you guys in Salt Lake ❤️

[@martadickson5272]

You are beautiful, your dancing is beautiful, and your piano playing is................ beautiful ❤️

[@kathryn_morgan]

Aww thank you!

[@Hans6789-j9t]

Beautiful piano playing

[@Anna-vz5jl]

Thank you for your October vlogs 🍁🧡🍁🩰 I hope your feeling better soon your my favourite dance so beautiful and I’ve learned so much from you as a adult beginner I love your videos

Wow that's a long piece to memorize! Viva Katie 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@shaunasavala5494]

I would love to hear about how you’ve liked living in California! What places have you visited (restaurants, beaches, tourist destinations, etc) and where else would you like to go? I also loved hearing the piano, so pretty! 🥹

[@chelseaennen4544]

Hey, Katie! I have a question for your Q&A that’s relevant to transitioning towards performance retirement. What’s your ideal fitness routine like when you’re *not* specifically conditioning to perform? Just for general well-being as someone with a health condition, longevity, and feeling good day to day?

[@nadegearmour9378]

Amazing piano playing!!! 🎹❤

[@getnetball]

Really wish I could play the piano like this! I know professionals who don’t even have phrasing this good!

[@dariask904]

I love everything you've chatted about and showed us, and I have one very specific question: what do you use for sculpting your skin please? :)

[@georgiede]

I completely understand the thyroid frustration. I’m 2 years post thyroid cancer and the medication levels are a constant battle. I will say that Armra colostrum has helped my hair so much and doesn’t effect thyroid they way biotin stuff does.

[@lucyfletcher3752]

Gorgeous piano playing, hopefully someday I can play something as difficult as Snow from Nutcracker 😁 My question if you do a q&a: what ballet/variation would you love to coach at your ballet school? (Or in general?) Also does Finn like to sit and listen to you play piano? (My pet likes when I play piano ♥️)

[@balletmeli]

As a breast cancer survivor I understand about bloodwork results. 🙏 adjustments work. 😎 to see you Chris together. 🥰 🐶 . I understand about hair color and hair growth. I use brand: Bondi Boost which I buy through Ulta Beauty . 😊 🎹.

[@Cheesytreasure]

I love that you are vlogging again! I teach dance at a smaller studio and I'd love to hear some of your takes on teaching. Even if it's not specific (like I'm not asking for trade secrets or anything) but I just don't get to see a lot of content on dance teaching. Maybe even a little channel series?!?! A few specific questions though. What do you think about using a specific syllabus vs on your own. I grew up at a Cecchetti studio with syllabi and exams, and where I am teaching now, we do not use a syllabus. Costuming! Oiy! Where I grew up dancing we were blessed with am amazing seamstress who made the majority of our costumes. Current studio, we order from a few major retailers. I just find that dressing such a wide array of body shapes and physical maturity levels is sooo challenging. Mainly due to costumes skewing towards smaller bodies. I have no idea why costumes intended for 14 year olds are considered "adult" sizes. It's like we need three categories instead of two. Child, Junior, Adult. As we do have adult classes and finding costumes can be so challenging. Anyway, these are some of my topics of interest. And I'd LOVE to hear yours ❤

[@djr7144]

Very awesome piano playing! I’m a violinist who loves watching ballet purely as a spectator. And I’ve noticed that the best ballet dancers have some sort of musical training even if just a little bit!

[@hannahharrison8631]

So excited to see your vlogs again! Here’s a fun question: If you were hosting a dinner party and could invite 5 characters from ballets, who would you invite?

[@cf8595]

YaY piano time!!

[@ania5038]

I feel like I've lost half my hair in the decade (maybe closer to two decades lol) since I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism :( I used to have the "thin hair but a lot of it" kind of hair but now it's just thin and sparse. Thank you for sharing your experience with it.

[@jessieborrell1856]

Totally relate with the thyroid stuff. Mine went haywire after I had my daughter and for the first time ever was too HIGH. And it’s been a huge struggle to get it back to a normal range (and she’s 8 now!). Q&A: any plans to bring the podcast back? You and Sean are hilarious

[@kathryn_morgan]

Yes! We are just trying to figure out logistics!

[@silverbell2323]

Mad piano skills, girl! Q & A question: Have you considered being a rehearsal accompanist? Because you could totally do that if you wanted to!

[@MaryBethPetra]

Q&A: do you think you might ever teach ballroom?

[@KarenMcGillivray-b9x]

Hi Katie! Something I've been wondering is what you thought about your trajectory when you were at NYCB. Did you feel you were on a track to eventually become a principal?

[@MrQbenDanny]

Katie, Make sure the vitamins you are taking are in harmony with the foods that will absorb them. For example, vitamin D loves a rib eye steak with a baked potato 🥔 bathed in pure butter with sour cream. Vitamin D works with the fat in a meal. Your piano 🎹 tour de force is Tchaikovsky approved. The thyroid issue is life annoying, but can't defeat the Greek Goddess powers of KATHRYN MORGAN. Cheers.

[@mychrysanthemums]

Hey Katie! ❤ I’m loving your vlogs. They’ve been the highlight of my week. I have a question for your Q&A: I’m 23 and just started dancing back on pointe after taking a two year break because of an injury to my achilles tendon. Do you have any tips for staying safe while I’m building back strength, especially with Nutcracker just around the corner? I work retail too, so I’m constantly on my feet in between classes. 😅

[@strawberry1025]

I hear you about your thyroid results Katie. I am there just now too; realising why l feel so exhausted, with sore muscles, arid skin and general flatness of mood. Bloods came back a while ago: my TSH is completely out of kilter, too high, yet T3 and T4 struggling and thyroid peroxidase too high as well. I have late Lyme disease as well to complete my list of favourite symptoms. So a lot of pain. Yet often l feel like lm just lazy. If ld just try harder. Then my high inflammatory markers; ESR and CRP and thyroid results come in and always jolt me with surprise. Im not lazy after all, just battling two ennervating illnesses. Apologies for long rant but l literally know of no other specific person who also has the auto immune form of Hyothyroidism. Regarding colours I'm a clear Winter and finding that out transformed my own colour choices and stopped me looking like Dracula's Granny.😎. Take great care of yourself, you deserve it. 😊

[@AmyBeeArtsy]

Hi, interner stranger! I have Hashimoto's and lupus. Just wanted to tell you that you're not alone, and all of what you're experiencing is VALID. Your feelings and your frustrations and your struggles are VALID. I relate so much with you saying sometimes you feel like "if I just try harder..." But to be honest, I'm not sure anyone works harder than those of us with chronic illnesses, simply because we are forced to in order to survive. It's like playing life on hard mode. Haha. Wishing you the best ❤

I so get the bloodwork result response. My husband has psoriatic arthritis and it’s an ongoing cross your fingers numbers are good. Finn is so adorable ❤. I can’t remember if you answered this in old videos, but who were your favorite teachers at SAB? Also favorite partners. And do you have your eye on any upcoming NYCB dancers? And absolutely love the piano concert at the end! More of that always❤

Wow. Play more. I love it !!! You are amazing. Do you think of the choreography while you play? Bet you do!

Beautiful, elegant, impressive piano playing! For the Q&A: how long have you been playing piano, and what was your training?

[@KiwiGirl941]

I love that you play piano and play so well!! How long did you take lessons? Did you take lessons? Did you already say? Do you sing too at all? Sorry - so many questions!!! You are absolutely gorgeous and thank you for bringing us into your day to day life - I love Finn and his little bunny arms and how Chris just holds him. What a sweet family you have 😊 Many blessings on you and praying healing over your thyroid and all the things in Jesus name 💜

I am also working to play for rehearsal! I have most of Act 2 down, but I'm stuck on Mother Ginger and that coda is a beast of 16th notes. I'm sorry right now I can't remember the name of the arrangement I use. What piano reduction are you using? The one Tchaikovsky made is much more orchestral and harder.

[@lisabmpls]

Maybe you’ve answered this kind of thing before but I was wondering if you could have dinner (or a chat) with 5 dance people, living or dead, who would they be and why? Thanks for doing Vlogtober!!!!

Ooh I love it. I don’t think I have!

[@missmaeveward]

[@Cami_2006.]

Hi Katie! You should probably go to a trichology expert, I had the same problem with my hair because of my thyroid and topical minoxidil totally saved it, it’s much thicker and fuller now. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@kathryn_morgan]

Ooh thank you! I will look into that!

[@dees3179]

I hope they can help you. My results keep stubbornly coming back ‘fine’ despite my hair clearly not being fine and my general health also demonstrably not being fine either. I also can’t use any of the treatments which are available for hair growth due to health problems. But I’m ‘fine’ so it’s all ‘fine’. It’s not ‘fine’. The only thing that is fine is my blo*** hair…….. which is vary very fine! I really despise doctors sometimes. They seem to think that just because I’m not dead I have no right to complain.

[@Nameless351]

Also, see if one of your doctors will order you a blood test to check your FERRITIN level. A level under 75 can increase hair loss! A good, caring dermatologist will tell you this if you’re able to get enough time with them to have a conversation about it. But a lot of primary care doctors and even specialists of many kinds will only go by the “reference range” on the lab report which sadly only flags ferritin as too low if it’s in the single digits or low teens! There are different purposes for ferritin (your iron stores in your body), and different symptoms occur at different levels. The lab range is only designed to mark the most extreme cases (with symptoms well beyond hair loss, to include things like dizziness, weakness, paleness, feeling cold all the time, etc). But you can absolutely have real and treatable symptoms at ferritin levels of 40, 50, 60, 70. The solution is iron supplements in pill form for a long time and retesting ferritin levels until they reach the target of 75 or higher. Or to achieve this faster (or if oral iron has side effects you don’t want to put up with) IV infusions of iron can be given. These get you feeling better much sooner. Some doctors are stingy/dismissive and don’t offer iron infusions unless ferritin is below the bottom of reference range; other doctors are willing to give iron infusions as long as you have symptoms and have a ferritin level under 100. Insurance usually approved them for a ferritin level below 100, if you have symptoms that are causing you problems, and you “can’t tolerate” iron pills or you tried them she the didn’t work. It’s not that hard, if you have a good doctor, and can make a big difference in a number of ways.

[@cynthiab.9827]

Lovely planning. Could you tell me where I could order the piano music you were playing?

[@hannahfox5422]

One question I have is if you've thought about how you want to end your career as the main dancer of a production, do you want to go out on a specific role and know ahead of time that that's your last show/go out with a bang or do you want to retire more quietly and just whenever your last role happens it happens?

[@unconditional--love]

Hi Katie! Since you’re near the South Bay, I highly recommend looking into booking a bio-resonance session with ‘Pure Life Acupuncture’ to help with your thyroid. Bio-resonance machines are being called ‘the medicine of the future’. It is a machine that uses frequencies to balance the body. I truly feel it can help balance your thryroid situation. I have been using bio-resonance for about 6 months now and it has been absolutely life changing.

[@lyndapower9408]

❤ - Dont know if this will help but you might want to look into Compounded Bioidentical Hormones T3/T4, if you havn't already. Also, I've heard that just a tiny bit of gluten can cause problems in people with thyroid issues, and that the "effects" can take months to subside. (A bummer , I know - but on the bright side - a solvable issue). Good Luck ! (NYC Ballet fan here).

[@Katie_Jo_21]

I had no idea that you were so talented at piano. Did you ever a company dancers musically?

[@pheart2381]

Did you publish your piano/barre music on cd,or do you plan to in the future?

[@kathryn_morgan]

I actually may revisit that. I had too many irons in the fire at that point, but now I could!

[@dennicecisneros]

Did you get color analysis professionally done if so by who, or figured it out on your own?

[@curiouscoquettexcourtney4778]

Possible video idea or for the Q&A? --- I would love a deep dive on the differences between Principal and Soloist roles, especially in ballets where it's less obvious. For example, I think you mentioned once that Marzipan is a soloist role and Dewdrop is a principal role -- from the audience they both seem like they would be the same rank with equally difficult steps and artistry (and maybe they are, and I am not remembering correctly, if so I'm so sorry!). Or perhaps in story ballets, like in Swan Lake excluding Odette & Siegfried, how are the other featured roles cast/ranked and why? Or a ballet like Dances at a Gathering -- is that a mix of soloist and principal roles or are they all considered principal? In general are roles ranked just like the dancers are, therefore once a dancer becomes a Principal are there Soloist roles that they will no longer be cast in? Hopefully that makes sense, sorry for the long question! Love your videos so much, thank you!!

[@bridgetm7971]

What sheet music do you use for Nutcracker or is it your own arrangement? Sounds fab!

[@kathryn_morgan]

I used 2 different arrangements. I will link and mention them in the next vlog!

[@lauragem796]

Ballet/story question: What were some of your first experiences and impressions going into NICK'S costume department. Did you ever go just to look at the beautiful costumes, fabrics, and details?

[@MarieBeauchamp-n1e]

Hi! your piano playing is really beautiful! May I ask if you could share the sheet music for Nutcracker or share where you found it? Thank you!

[@kathryn_morgan]

Yes- 2 different arrangements. I’ll talk about them in the next vlog! ❤️

[@mamawithacameralori]

TheRealReal really should sponsor you. That'd be a great match

[@jjgnva]

Wow I loved listening to you play...You are talented in so many ways... QUESTION FOR NEXT TIME>>> Would you ever do a FINALE performance open to the public. Sort of a retirement show. I think you should have one and invite RObbie F. and some of the others from your SAB class/level and do a show. You deserve to get the floating tinsel and to have everyone praise you for a career lived well!

[@lostie9866]

How did you find your color season? I went down that rabbit hole for a while but could never figure mine out. Like sure I googled it but was overwhelmed. Lol

[@christinehorowitz9305]

How did you balance this level of piano playing/instruction with your ballet training? Seems like that would have been a lot especially after you went to NY.

[@jendesimone9053]

Sorry to hear about your TSH. I hope they are able adjust your medication (thyroxine?) so you can feel better.

[@kathryn_morgan]

Yes, we are working on it! Thank you!

I'm laughing cause I'm a soft summer who thought she was a winter forever too, and I have Hashimoto's too 😂 I'm loving these vlogs!!! PS regarding autoimmunes: I don't want to assume what you and your team have or haven't done, but I tell everyone I ever meet with Hashimoto's to get screened for other autoimmune diseases regularly, because unfortunately we are more likely to get another one, and often the early symptoms feel like an extension of what we're used to. This was my experience with finding out I also had lupus. Wishing you nothing but healing and joy ❤

[@amybessoir]

[@happycommuter3523]

Lupus is really harsh. Definitely be on the alert for symptoms.

[@natalies9602]

If you hadn't pursued dancing professionally, what would you have done instead?

[@darkblu09]

Is that your own piano arrangement? Would you share sheet music?

[@a.nonymous2089]

Hate to say it but this happens to most women's hair anyway. Women lose hair with age; I've lost 1/3 of my ponytail and my thyroid is normal. I get a perm every six months. It plumps the hair strands so your hair looks thicker. I still have waist length hair and get compliments on it permed. (You need a good hairstylist to do the perm.)
