I don't think that it's due to your hypothyroidism. I have hypo also and I'm mistaken for someone much younger a lot of the time. I just turned 27 and people routinely think I'm around 21. It may be due more to genetics or some other part of your appearance.

I don't think that has anything to do with hypothyroidism. My family has a history of that, and the women particularly look amazingly young for their ages. Maybe it's the way you dress, or your hairstyle or something. It definitely sounds like you're living a nice, clean lifestyle, so I doubt that's it. Maybe you just have too many negative people around you that would say something mean spirited like that.

I too have hypothyroidism. I have a swollen face and eyes and since our digestive system is slower than most, toxins are left in the body to do damage. You need some enzymes and digestion support to speed your metabolism as well as antioxidents. Try the link below for a good source. It will at the least improve your health. I think it too will add to your youth.
Look for
1. Digestive Enzymes & Probiotics
2. MetaboLite
