Alli, one of our Medical Providers, discusses thyroid health and different symptoms that reflect it.
Unexplained weight gain could be a sign that your thyroid’s underactive. Hey everyone, it’s Alli, one of the medical providers at our D’Iberville, Mississippi location. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in your neck that controls everything metabolic in your body. The thyroid produces hormones like T3 and T4. This controls your metabolism. Some things that could possibly be affected include: body temperature, heart rate, your energy levels, and even your mood. Hypothyroidism is a condition where your thyroid does not produce enough thyroid hormone. This can cause issues like fatigue, feeling cold all the time, and unexplained weight gain. If you think your thyroid could be causing your unexplained weight gain, it’s important to get your labs tested. At Rejuvime Medical, we can check a full thyroid panel and see if there’s an issue going on. Treatments like hormone replacement can help get your thyroid levels back to normal.
