The Common Signs You Have Thyroid Issues

Have you been struggling with fatigue or exhaustion? Can't get enough coffee? Or worse, your coffee now causes you to be way too jittery? Have you noticed changes with your weight- like gaining weight for no reason?

We often blame our symptoms on something else, or we're told we're perimenopausal or menopausal and to "just live with it". Unfortunately, there's many of us living with an undiagnosed thyroid issue that may be contributing to our symptoms.

I had such great feedback on my podcast with Dr. Amie Hornaman that I wanted to deep dive into the thyroid today.

Here's the deal- once you gain control over your thyroid, you'll have a greater sense of well-being (and have the energy to get through the day-no, it's not "just your age!")

There are three different thyroid issues to be aware of: Hypothyroidism, Hyperthyroidism, and Autoimmune thyroid diseases.

Hypothyroidism

This thyroid issue is the under-functioning of the thyroid gland. When the thyroid gland isn't as active as it should be, it can cause a number of problems, such as joint pain, heart disease, and obesity. This is because it upsets the balance of the chemical reactions in the body.

Hyperthyroidism

When the thyroid is over-worked, this causes hyperthyroidism. A person's metabolism works overtime, and your energy levels are on full alert at all times.

Autoimmune thyroid diseases

This includes Hashimoto's disease which results in an underactive thyroid. Graves disease also falls under this category and is a result from an overactive thyroid gland.

You may be experiencing a Thyroid Gland Imbalance if you have any of these symptoms:

Sluggishness

Low energy is one of the most common symptoms of Hypothyroidism.

Mood Swings

You might be feeling down more often than before and for no apparent reason, or the opposite of that. This is the result of an overproduction of hormones by your thyroid gland.

Issues With Your Weight

If you're having trouble losing weight, you could have a low-functioning thyroid. If you see that you're getting thinner by the minute, your thyroid could be working your metabolism into overdrive.

Irregular Periods & Fertility Issues

All of our hormones are intricately related. If the thyroid is off, a lot of our female hormones can be off as well, and the slight imbalance can create serious problems.

Low Libido

The thyroid glands control hormones, which means it could decrease your sex drive. A thyroid gland that's not working properly could cause fatigue and brain fogginess.

Unpredictable Bowel Movements

Hypothyroidism slows down the digestive process so that means repeated bouts of bloating and constipation. Loose stools are most common in Hyperthyroidism.

Dry, Flaky Skin

When metabolism slows down, moisture in the skin also decreases which causes dry, flaky, and itchy skin.
