If you feel permanently exhausted, struggle to lose weight, your hair is thinning, or your mood is all over the place, you are not alone, and it might be your thyroid! During this episode, we discuss all things related to thyroid health: signs, testing, why so many women are misdiagnosed or undiagnosed, and what you can do to take back control. Our conversation centers around the impact of hypothyroidism on women, touching on why they often do not receive the appropriate diagnosis. We also discuss the impact of autoimmune diseases, unpack some of the symptoms of hypothyroidism, and explore the limitations of standard thyroid testing.
