What Is Addison’s Disease? Condition Explored As TikTok Star Taylor Rousseau Grigg’s Family Reveals Cause Of Death

As an ardent follower of Taylor Rousseau Grigg’s journey, I find myself deeply saddened by the revelation of her untimely demise at just 25 years old. Her vibrant spirit and infectious energy were a beacon of positivity on TikTok, where she shared glimpses into her life, filled with faith, country lifestyle, and unconditional love for her dog.


Five days following the unexpected passing of Taylor Rousseau Grigg on October 5th, her family has disclosed the cause of her death. This popular internet personality, aged 25, frequently shared insights into her life, marriage, pet dog, faith, and rural lifestyle, tragically succumbed to complications from asthma and Addison’s disease on October 4th, according to a family representative’s statement to Today.com.

Due to the influencer’s battle against a relatively uncommon health issue, here is a narrative that she tragically lost her life at a tender age.

As stated by the Mayo Clinic, Addison’s disease, also known as adrenal insufficiency, is a relatively uncommon long-term health issue that arises when the body fails to produce sufficient amounts of certain essential hormones. Those who are diagnosed with this condition typically have adrenal glands that don’t produce enough cortisol and frequently inadequate levels of another hormone called aldosterone as well.

According to the mentioned health organization, signs of this disease may include feeling tired, losing weight without trying, decreased appetite, low blood pressure, abnormally low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), nausea, loose stools or diarrhea, vomiting, pain in the abdomen, aches in muscles and joints, mood changes such as irritability, and feelings of sadness or depression.

People who encounter acute adrenal insufficiency might display additional symptoms such as intense fatigue, aching in the lower back and limbs, mental confusion, decreased alertness, or irrational behavior.

Grigg is said to have experienced Asthma, a condition that affects many people and involves the narrowing and inflammation of airways, sometimes leading to an increase in mucus production as well. According to the Mayo Clinic, this condition can cause breathing difficulties, trigger coughing and wheezing, and in severe cases, could lead to potentially life-threatening attacks.

On August 8th, as reported by Today, Taylor Rousseau Grigg shared a TikTok video about her health struggles. In this video, she revealed to her over 1.4 million followers that she used to be quite active but has unfortunately fallen out of shape for some time now.

According to the referenced article, Taylor voiced her annoyance in the video, stating that it’s disappointing because at 24 years old, she should be in her prime and capable of doing simple tasks like carrying her luggage up the stairs or walking to the mailbox, or running. However, she mentioned that she is unable to do any of these things herself. It’s worth noting that she didn’t disclose having Addison’s disease in the video.

Taylor Rousseau Grigg shared in a recent TikTok post that they tied the knot in August 2023 with her husband.
