Thyroid Health: What You Eat Matters
Hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, occurs when your thyroid gland fails to produce enough hormones to keep your body functioning optimally. This small yet vital gland regulates metabolism, energy levels, and even mood, so when it is underactive, everything slows down. This can leave you feeling tired, sluggish, and battling symptoms like weight gain, dry skin, hair thinning, and brain fog.
Common Symptoms of Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism symptoms often develop slowly and are frequently overlooked or misattributed to other factors. Here are the most common signs:
Constant Fatigue
Persistent tiredness, no matter how much rest you get.
Weight Gain
Difficulty losing weight despite a healthy diet and exercise.
Feeling Cold
Sensitivity to cold, particularly in extremities.
Dry Skin & Hair Thinning
Flaky skin, brittle nails, and increased hair loss.
Brain Fog
Trouble concentrating or remembering things.
Mood Swings
Anxiety, depression, or unexplained mood changes
Irregular Periods & Fertility Issues
Heavy, irregular cycles or difficulty conceiving.
If these symptoms sound familiar, do not dismiss them as “just ageing” or “a busy lifestyle.” If you have experienced any of these symptoms, it is time to dig deeper into what is really happening with your thyroid.
