If you've ever wondered if your thyroid is getting in the way of your metabolism and weight goals, this episode is for you. 

Whether you've struggled with hypothyroidism, or have just been curious about your thyroid, I'm sure you've come across many claims that treating your thyroid will "solve" your metabolism or weight problems. 

In today's episode, we break down:

  • What's real and what's myth (and what's water weight) and whether treating your thyroid will actually help your metabolism or not.
  • Which lab tests you should have if you're suspicious of your thyroid. 
  • What to expect from thyroid medication if you need it. 
  • How we need to think about the thyroid in the bigger picture of your health. 

People with low thyroid have a myriad of challenges in managing their metabolism. When patients don't feel well, their ability to manage their nutrition and movement is impaired. This episode will help you feel like your thyroid is more connected to your overall health (and not the sole cause of how you feel).
