Listen as Dr. C explains how to tell if your thyroid could be to blame for a lack of weight loss and why not all thyroid medications are created equal, as well as the best foods to eat with a thyroid condition. Plus, you don't want to miss the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about thyroid health, including the amount of iodine you need and how your thyroid and adrenals are connected!

Main Points From Today’s Episode

  1. One of the main ways to tell if your thyroid could be responsible for a lack of weight loss is if your weight bounces up and down more than a pound a day. That can be a sign that something is off with how your body is regulating your metabolism.
  2. Not all thyroid medications are created equal. One study found that patients burned a difference of between 300-400 calories per day depending on which thyroid medication they were taking.
  3. Cholesterol tests were first used as thyroid tests. That’s because there’s a strong connection between your thyroid function and cholesterol levels.
