26: Thyroid Part 1 – Gaining Weight, Depressed, No Energy? It’s Probably Your Thyroid

Why You Should Listen (part 1):

You’re tired. You’re depressed. You’re gaining weight. The doctor runs the numbers and one of two things happens: you are declared healthy with a TSH that is “in range” and your symptoms are dismissed with a casual “It’s all in your head,” or you are put on synthetic thyroid medication to get your numbers back to where they should be.
