Answer 2

It depends.

Weight gain/hair loss/acne/lethargy/fatigue--can be symptoms of a thyroid deficiency that may require medication.

Weight loss/bulging eyes/pounding heart/goiter can be symptoms of an overactive thyroid that will require medication or other form of treatment.

See your doctor if you're concerned. A few simple blood tests can give you great peace of mind.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

Making dietary changes is your first line of defense in treating hypothyroidism. Learn here https://tr.im/x7QvE

Many people with hypothyroidism experience crippling fatigue and brain fog, which prompts reaching for non-nutritional forms of energy like sugar and caffeine. I’ve dubbed these rascals the terrible twosome, as they can burn out your thyroid (and destabilize blood sugar).

1. Just say no to the dietary bungee cord. Greatly reduce or eliminate caffeine and sugar, including refined carbohydrates like flour, which the body treats like sugar. Make grain-based carbohydrates lesser of a focus, eating non-starchy vegetables to your heart’s content.

2. Up the protein. Protein transports thyroid hormone to all your tissues and enjoying it at each meal can help normalize thyroid function. Proteins include nuts and nut butters; quinoa; hormone- and antibiotic-free animal products (organic, grass-fed meats, eggs, and sustainably-farmed fish); and legumes.
