Katie Barker - our Dietetic Intern at The Millennial Nutritionist - and I are diving into hypothyroidism and how it can impact your weight, energy levels, and how we work with clients who have hypothyroidism to help them lose weight. Hypothyroidism does require more medical treatments than just healthy eating and exercise, but in this episode we cover some diet and exercise changes that can help alleviate the symptoms of hypothyroidism in conjunction with medical treatment.

Some key takeaways on hypothyroidism and weight loss:

The thyroid is a gland in your neck that secretes hormones, which gives it a lot of control over a lot of your body’s systems, including your heart rate and metabolism. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which your thyroid is underactive and doesn’t produce enough hormones, or it releases them at a much slower rate.
If you think you may have hypothyroidism, talk to your doctor and ask for a full thyroid panel. They’ll test the levels of various hormones in your body to evaluate whether you may have hypothyroidism or some sort of thyroid disorder.
Some things you can do to help with hypothyroidism is to make sure you’re on a medication that’s the right dosage for you, focusing on protein intake and incorporating more of it into your meals, and adding strength training to your weekly routine to build muscle mass, which helps regulate your metabolism.
