Summer’s here, and the weight loss frenzy permeates the media. Ads encouraging us to “try this pill,” or “use this exercise gizmo,” offering hope that weight loss is only a new diet or workout away.
What if your problem isn’t about food choices or exercise? What if you’ve tried every diet, and you exercise appropriately, but losing weight still feels impossible? What do you do then?
You look for a root cause.
When it comes to losing weight, too often we try to beat our bodies into submission. We restrict calories or exercise harder, thinking that maybe it will bring the desired results: weight loss. No matter what we restrict, we can’t make our body cooperate. In fact, in some cases, it feels like we keep gaining weight, even though the calorie counts and expenditures should make that impossible.
Weight loss isn’t only about calories in and calories out. Weight loss is also about hormones. If you’ve ever struggled to lose weight, it may not be your food choices or exercise habits that are to blame. It may be your thyroid!
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of your neck that controls the release of several hormones. When your thyroid malfunctions, your body feels out of whack. Without the proper amount of hormones, calories, and oxygen cannot be properly converted to energy, and your metabolism changes.
If your thyroid is slow or you have hypothyroidism, this change in your metabolism may be causing your weight struggle. Hypothyroidism, the technical name for underactive thyroid, makes you feel lethargic and even depressed. So, in addition to metabolism challenges, you may not feel well enough to exercise or make healthy choices.
Thyroid issues are very common, with more than 25 million people suffering from an underactive thyroid alone. Women are seven to ten times more likely to suffer from thyroid issues. About half of all thyroid issues in older adults go undiagnosed. If you’re feeling symptoms such as weakness and tiredness, depression, dry skin, brittle nails, difficulty handling cold temperatures, or weight gain, you may need to get your thyroid checked.
