Can I Lose Weight if I Have a Thyroid Issue?

How The Thyroid Works - simple explanation

When the body doesn't have everything it needs, the thyroid goes, “Whoa! Hey! Time out here. We don't have everything we need to keep living healthy.. Let's slow down. Let's make you want to sleep a little bit more. Let's make you rest. Let's make your body repair. You can’t keep going around because you're going to blow a gasket.

A good example would be if I was in a race, and I'm in the Daytona 500, and I'm racing around the track. Let’s say that I’’m going 180 mph, and I'm about ready to blow my engine. That would be a big problem.  Or let’s say that my tire is about ready to explode or there is some other severe problem that needs to be addressed. That’s when the thyroid would say, whoa, Hey, let's slow down. Let's pull over and make a pit stop. Let's get everything fixed so the care can keep driving without crashing or blowing the engine.

Instead, as humans, we are stubborn.  We keep trying to “go, go, go” with caffeine, with coffee, with sugar, with stimulants.  What your body really needs is to rest, heal and repair.

The thyroid plays a big part in weight loss, but it is not the cause, and it can be improved. The truth is, when we fix the underlying causes of thyroid issues, people lose weight.

What We've Seen Happen

In fact, I was just talking to a woman yesterday. She is one of my patients and she is about 400 miles away. And I've been working with her for over a year, a little bit here, a little bit there. She had hypothyroidism and was told there was nothing she could do to lose weight. She had tried “everything”, or at least that is what she told me. She was 230 pounds when she started working with me.  As of today, she has lost 109 pounds.

She went from 230 pounds down to 121. Her goal is 120, and she is only 1 pound away from her incredible goal. 

She tried everything. She tried all these different programs. She tried all these different things to lose weight, nothing worked. 

But once we started working together, she told me she had a thyroid problem. So I looked at her bloodwork and addressed the underlying issues. She needed to restore balance (homeostasis) to her body. 

And then guess what?

She started losing weight. She lost a lot of weight. 110 pounds of weight. She's very happy. I’m very happy. She's a great example of  And having a thyroid condition can be something and having a thyroid problem does not mean the end of the world.
