Hypothyroidism
Symptoms
Hypothyroidism
is most well-known for its relationship to your metabolism and oftentimes
weight gain or the inability to lose weight. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg
when you begin to look at the multitude of various hypothyroidism symptoms
ranging from digestive to sensory symptoms.
But
also keep in mind that different people develop different symptoms. There is no
one set pattern of symptoms that all hypothyroid people progress through. It
all has to do with how your body responds and compensates.
One
person might gain 30 lbs. and be unable to lose it no matter what. And the next
person may develop heart palpitations or chronic depression.
If
you find yourself suffering from any of these symptoms then you have to
strongly consider that you very well might be hypothyroid. And I encourage you
to take an active role in your health because all too often we place our health
in the hands of others who don’t have our best interests in mind.
So,
do yourself a favor and educate yourself, or find someone who is willing to
educate you on what is really happening with your body and what the underlying
cause of your health problems really is. Only then can you make an educated
decision as to what is best for your health.
A
Quick Note on Hypothyroidism Testing Flaws
And
keep in mind that most thyroid test options are flawed and oftentimes lead to a
false negative hypothyroidism diagnosis. And so millions of people go untreated
or are improperly treated for various other related symptoms that stem from
underlying hypothyroidism.
Because
of this, I often recommend what is called a therapeutic trial to confirm your
own diagnosis. This is where you follow a proper hypothyroidism treatment
protocol including the right hypothyroidism diet and monitor your symptoms.
If
your hypothyroidism symptoms improve then you can confirm that your speculation
was correct.

Hopefully
all of these symptoms of hypothyroidism have opened your eyes and given you a
better understanding of the importance of detecting and properly treating
hypothyroidism in order to properly restore and maintain your health.
Most
people, doctors, and healthcare professionals fail to make this connection and
far too often the underlying cause of your health problems is missed or
misdiagnosed.
Your
thyroid is responsible for so much more than increasing your metabolism and helping
you to lose weight. It plays an important role in balancing and producing
hormones, reducing cholesterol, reducing inflammation within your body,
fighting cancer, reducing your risk of autoimmune disease, keeping your brain
energized and mentally alert, and slowing the natural aging process.
So
many of the hypothyroidism symptoms listed above can be both easily avoided or
easily eliminated when you learn how to properly restore the function and
health of your thyroid. And it always begins with properly educating and
empowering yourself to take control of your health.
