Thursday Thoughts
Thyroid disease is often used as a joke or a scapegoat for weight gain. People throw it around, and as such, it’s often not taken very seriously.
Many people think thyroid issues are just an excuse for being overweight, but weight gain is a legitimate symptom of thyroid disease since the main purpose of thyroid hormone is to ensure the metabolism is running properly. When it’s not running optimally, the metabolism is impacted.
Shouldn’t the Weight Gain Stop or Come off When You Start Medication?
You would think so, but it’s not always this straight forward.
