Hypothyroidism Explained — Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

In this episode, we break down hypothyroidism — a common but often overlooked condition where your thyroid doesn’t make enough hormones. It can leave you feeling tired, cold, depressed, and gaining weight without major lifestyle changes.

We explore what causes an underactive thyroid, how to spot symptoms early, and what treatments actually work. Whether you’ve been diagnosed or just feel “off,” this episode brings clarity.

You’ll learn:

• What hypothyroidism is and why it matters 🧠
• Common symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and brain fog 😴
• How it’s diagnosed with TSH, T3, and T4 blood tests 💉
• Top causes like Hashimoto’s and iodine deficiency ⚠️
• Treatment options such as levothyroxine 💊
• How long it takes to feel better after starting meds ⏳

If you’ve ever been told “your labs are normal” but still don’t feel right, this episode is for you.
