If your thyroid isn’t working optimally, weight loss can easily slow down and your overall health takes a big hit. Here, JJ reveals the many clues of a sluggish thyroid (including a weird one you might not suspect!). You’ll learn what it means if your weight fluctuates, why your thyroid holds the key to burning fat and having great energy, how Hashimoto’s prevents the thyroid from making and releasing enough thyroid hormone, and why hypothyroidism can get overlooked or misdiagnosed. JJ also reveals what foods to eat and avoid for thyroid health, the stress-thyroid connection, why testing TSH alone won’t give you a complete picture (and what to look for instead), and the truth about goitrogens and iodine for people with thyroid issues.
