Blog 13: Is Your Thyroid Slowing Down Your Weight Loss?

When Nothing Seems to Work

If you’ve dieted, exercised, counted points, and still haven’t seen results, it’s time to consider your thyroid. This little butterfly-shaped gland in your neck plays a big role in metabolism and weight.

Signs of a Sluggish Thyroid

  • Constant fatigue

  • Dry skin or thinning hair

  • Feeling cold all the time

  • Unexplained weight gain

Simple At-Home Thyroid Support Tips

  1. Get enough selenium. Found in Brazil nuts, eggs, and sunflower seeds.

  2. Don’t skimp on iodine. Seaweed and iodized salt support thyroid hormone production.

  3. Check your stress. Stress elevates cortisol, which suppresses thyroid function.

  4. Sleep matters. Your thyroid needs rest, too.
