Me too
Love Sweat Fitness happy Monday. I have hashimoto and my hair loss is insane lately. Do u do anything to help stimulate hair growth?
Hi Anglea, I had the same problem when I went and in the end I just said can you please put me on the medication and see how I go. I went onto it and 2 months later I had another blood test and my levels where the same but I felt so much better. Maybe try doing this ?
Hi Love Sweat Fitness, is there anything you can do to help speed up your metabolism ?
no worries, good luck :)
Has anyone in here had dry skin all over but a really oily face with acne?
I do and I hate it :/
try ACV and water 1/1 put it on your face and don't wash it. don't let it get into your eyes.
Me
Yess
I have dry skin but not an oily face.
Omg the memory loss and foggy brain alone are just misery makers 😫
A T is hashimotos a common disease? I just recently got diagnosed and I know it’s causes hypothyroidism but is it normal or common? Or is hypothyroidism a different thing from hashimotos disease?
I always wondered why I was like that
JO JO you might already know by now but I think Hashimoto’s is the most common cause
A T I’m in nursing school and this is especially hard for me to deal with 😭
Yes this so true feeling overwhelmed
Thank you for this video. I am 13 years old and I was 235 pounds. I have hypothyroidism and I was actually diagnosed when I was 11. I have to take a lot of medicine and I just hate it. I have felt so bad every time I looked in the mirror. I have finally made up my mind and after 2 months I have already lost 26 pounds and I feel better already. I am now about 215. I’m so glad that you made this video. I hope I will look like you after my journey. ❤️
That is so wonderful you are taking steps to be healthy at such a young age! Staying active and eating healthy foods will help you a lot with hypothyroidism and feeling good overall! Proud of you!
You are awesome! Just remember, don’t give up. Even if you get off track a little, just start again the next day and keep on fighting. Slow and steady wins the race! You. CAN. Do. It!!!!
You inspire me Graylyn.
Me too I am 13 now and I have hypothyroidism and I got diagnosed when I was 7 and ever since I take the medication every day and do blood work every 3 or 6 months
Hey...plz tell me how did you lost your weight ??? I also have hypothyroidism I am 24 years old and my weight is 83 kg what should I do with my diet
You are a true inspiration!! Despite hypothyroidism you lost soo much weight!! And now have achieved the perfect body!! Hats off!!
No excuses left for me now!!
Aw thanks girl!!! It's one day at a time, but 100% worth it!

Salonika Chauhan same
Hypothyroidism iruku like others we can do all. Excerise it's is safe or some restrictions do excerise
Would you mind making a video based on : HYPOTHYROIDISM DOs and DON'Ts ?? 💜
I second this request, please!
Yes, this!
Yes please do
@@siobhansyt This would be useful to read!
Thank you so much! I NEVER comment on videos, but this video really helped me. I'm 38 and have been really slim my entire life. I was officially diagnosed with hypothyroidism earlier this year after gaining 30lbs in three weeks. I FREAKED OUT and got depressed because nothing I tried was helping me to lose the weight. I put on an additional 12lbs since being prescribed levothyroxine, so I am glad I found your video. I am hoping that my medication will be regulated soon because it's hard to stay positive with the changing body issues.
Oh I am so glad it helped!!! The medication definitely takes some time to adjust, but hopefully it will be super helpful for you too!
Get off the meds gradually and take iodoral selenium and take you body temperature.
I highly disagree with getting off your meds. Levothyroxine is a synthetic hormone ,your not taking medication, your replacing a hormone that your body doesn’t produce.
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was in junior high and this is so helpful. My diet has never been addressed when talking to doctors. Thank you so much.
I’m so happy to see this video I feel so misunderstood all the time. I explain to my co-workers that If I couldn’t stay asleep all night that I can’t function during the day. It’s crazy to see how a normal person who is tired and has had the same amount of sleep and they can take it but if I don’t get sleep I literally can’t think I go stupid and feel like I’m going to fall asleep standing up
I too have hypothyroidism. I been struggling with this since I started puberty. I was officially diagnose with it when I was 26 years old and started levothyroxine sodium at 75 mcgs. When I started it, my weight was 250 lbs. I have lost about 30 of that so far, and I do feel a lot better then I use too. I have struggled with my weight since I was about 7 or 8 years old, even when I was in high school when I would work out everyday. I do feel better then I use to. I am so glad that there are people like you who help bring to light hypothyroidism. Thank you.
I thought that I might have hypothyroidism after seeing your video a couple weeks ago, so I did a blood test and I found out I do. Weight loss has been an emotional rollercoaster for me because I'd lose weight on crash diets, then gain it all back and not be able to lose a single pound, even while doing intense workouts. Ever since I started taking my thryoid pills, I lost 7 pounds and I'm only getting started! Working out everyday and eating healthy food and in moderation is my new lifestyle and I can't wait to see where I go with it :) Thank you so much, you changed my life.
Oh wow! That is so great to hear you are feeling better!
i am the same way. i worked out 3 times a week and was gaining! i have a crazy clean diet as well so it can be very discouraging. i think my workouts were too long amd intense so im going to try doing more moderate exercises more often.
Mayssa M hey mayssa! I was curious what is the name of the thyroid medication you are taking?? I'm trying to decide which to take
Can you give us an update to how much weight you’ve lost? I have the same too and I’m working out like 4 times a week and I’m barely losing weight. I’m not on meds because doctors have told me my results are normal. However I’m thinking of going to a specialist and see if they can get me on meds.
@@yuricrispin7857 I definitely recommend you do go to a specialist just to make sure everything is ok.
Katie I am so glad you addressed the fact that your doctors never brought up nutrition. I also have hypothyroidism and my doctors have never actually explained what it is and how it affects my body. I had to do all that research on my own so I'm very happy you made this vlog.😊
Mine didn’t either

jackfanAJC okay good i thought i was the only one
It's just sad that doctors never come up with a nutrition guide or explain more about what goes on with our body! I only started proper research for myself last year and I find new stuff each and every time. The learning about hypothyroidism never stops though😊
Was Sinking in the same boat 🚣♀️ . . ESP during this pandemic it’s crucial going to hospitals. . ER!
Rooting for ya & hope all is with you.
I started gaining weight after my first baby. I brushed it off as pregnancy weight gain. During my second pregnancy I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and everything made sense, the hair loss, weight gain and the fatigue. Like you I felt doomed, but this video has given me hope that I can fit into my old jeans, thank you so much!!!!
Hi I know it’s been years 😂 but how did you get diagnosed ? My PCP is like it’s a little high but normal 🤦🏽♀️ and refused to send me to a endocrinologist😭
I've been hypothyroid since I was born, I was born without a thyroid! My symptoms have changed so much over the years but I feel like lately they've been worse- so tired and low energy all the time. Thanks for making this video! It's so great to see someone talking about this, makes me feel less different :)
Oh wow, I can't even imagine how challenging that is without it at all. So glad this helped. I feel like I still have so much to talk about! We will have to do a live session Q & A soon!
Same here! I have congenital hypothyroidism, it’s a struggle 😩
Woah that’s just insane! I too have congenial hypothyroidism btw but I’ve never heard anything like that before…how’s it like?
Awwnn the struggle is real! The adjustment days are horrible! Because you are feeling great and all of the sudden something seems off in your body! It’s a constant fight with the hormones, is a constant look up for balance.
Great to know I am not alone in the hypothyroidism journey!
Greetings! 😘
I have had hypothyroidism my whole life because I was born without one, but some nights I have panic attacks thinking about what could happen if I don't take my medication, and I've told people about this but no one understands, but thanks to this channel most people here understand what this is like, and we can all live through this and stay strong!!!
I’ve been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism today and this explained so much.
So glad it helped babe xo Katie
I also have it but I crave food so bad 😞
Pins and needles is super common for us ! (Dead leg) I have like 3 times a days :(((
That's how it started for me! My hands were going numb with pins and needles every day! Super scary!
Mine used to happen in my sleep. My doctor changed my medication and I don't get them anymore
Wow people, I'm a male and just diagnosed with this and yup me too! Drink Golden milk to help with inflammation hope it helps, Google it... God Bless

I only have that once in a while
I had hyperthyroidism my whole life and then had part of my thyroid killed with radiation, and now I have hypothyroidism. I am struggling so much with my weight and this video honestly is so so so helpful. Thank you
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism back in 2005 and now I have Hashimoto's, which is autoimmune hypothyroidism (most people with hypothyroidism eventually become Hashi). With much research and seeing MANY doctors, I have found that naturopathic doctors are the most knowledgeable about thyroid conditions because they know to look at your body as a whole system working together. I gave up on traditional doctors/endocrinologists years ago because they couldn't help me. You didn't mention this, but going gluten-free is VERY important for any one with thyroid issues. I also feel my best when I am working out, but I still struggle with days where I feel extremely fatigued and lethargic. Thyroid problems are quickly becoming more and more prevalent and I believe it has a lot to do with the foods we eat and lack of properly nourishing our bodies.
Totally agree it has to be a holistica approach with unfortunately most regular Dr's don't give you. Hence me having to figure it out on my own for so long. Also, avoiding processed foods (which basically all have gluten) has made a huge impact for sure. That is really key for anyone looking to feel good and healthy, but especially noticeable when you have issues like hypo or hashi.
Thank You!!
karinwtfont I have it
You don’t get hashimotos from hypo, you get hypo from hashimotos. Your thyroid doesn’t affect your immune system
I was diagnosed when I was 3 or 4. I'm on levothyroxine and levels came back normal recently, but I still have symptoms. How do you know if you have hashi as well? Are there additional symptoms? Also, about the probiotic, can you take it the same time as meds?
I had thyroid cancer at 22 and its so nice to finally see more and more people sharing their struggles with thyroid issues. Thank you for sharing your story
wow girl, I truly wish you the best, I know you can do it! 😊
Oh wow girl, I can't even imagine. You are definitely not alone in the struggle and I'm so glad you shared your story too! You definitely can get where you want to be. Just take it one day at a time, staying on track with foods and exercise and I know you will get there!
Aubrey Siglock I was diagnosed at 23. I had two children under 21/2 and Hyper Graves Disease. I had to check into the hospital because I thought I was going crazy. It was just my Thyroid! Hard times!!
I was just diagnosed. Thank you for your knowledge. I was really overwhelmed at first but finding you has helped so much!
You are so welcome! You've got this!!
Thank-you so much for sharing your journey with this. I found out that I had hypothyroidism about a year ago after trying to get pregnant and not being able to. I had gained over 50 pounds in 2 years, never got my period, and was constantly tired. Even though it can be frustrating to take medication and constantly go for blood work, it gives me peace of mind that there is a reason for all of my symptoms and I don't have to live like this forever. In the past 3 months, I've stopped letting my hypothyroidism be an excuse in my life, and have changed my diet and exercise routine completely. I have already lost 40 lbs, and feel so much lighter with way more energy during the day! You are such an inspiration and proof that hypothyroidism doesn't have to take over your life!
Oh wow. I'm so glad you shared your story and that you are feeling able to really take back control now! I know you'll be able to reach your goals girl! xoxo
Hello and thank you for making this video! I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism and as a matter a fact today is my 1st day ever to start taking my medication. I am super nervous about the meds because meds scare me in general. I had no idea I had anything wrong with me other than just being over weight and getting old. One of the most annoying that that I can say that I am dealing with is that my hair is falling out. So today after I took my first dose of medication I thought I better do some online research of my own and I am so happy I found your video!! I have been over weight most of my life but I never had any health issues until now... these past 3 years I have gained more weight, my skin is dryer, my hair falls out, I have become grouchy and always tired or what I thought was just being lazy... any way this is the start of my journey to beat this and I am subscribing to your channel. Again thank you for making this video.
Welcome to Team LSF
PattyCakes a
PattyCakes start taking Biotin for hair loss, it will take a month or so for it to start working. Stop eating sugar!!! I know it sounds extreme but your energy level will go threw the roof. Remember to read all labels because sugar is in everything. Stop eating all processed food which will also help with weight. GOOD LUCK
Born with it 🤷🏼♀️
This has helped me so much I was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism too and I am completely clueless about what is going on with my body.
So glad this has helped!
Cheers for this, I been tryin to find out about "signs hypothyroidism" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Yannabarn Vanish Thyroid - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my co-worker got excellent success with it.
Amanda Hernandez same! I was diagnosed less than a month ago. It’s scary but at least now I know what is going on with me.
I just got diagnosed 2 weeks ago!
@@Emeralds.Bee4 same !
I just found your page today but I loveeeee youuuu thank you so much for talking about your journey you have no idea how much it inspires me to find out that you exit. I had hyperthyroidism at age 11 and after RAIU it became hypothyroidism at age 18 and we are still here!! It's been a lot of struggles and feeling out of space tbh esp with gaining weight, loosing weight and gaining all over again.... I've gained so much weight since 2016 and it felt like no matter what I did it wasn't working but I'm taking it one step at a time now with my diet and exercise (I had to realise loosing weight won't be magical)... I'm a new sub and I will be trying out loads of your work out routine especially. Lots of love from this side❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧
I was diagnosed today with hypothyroidism at 17. I've had the same life story as you as a child. Started period at 10, had headaches, fatigue, weakness, dry skin,, etc. also had intoleration to cold, had anxiety, but never had a weight problem luckily. Recently my hair loss, that I believed was caused by me dyeing my hair, got worse and I had a lumpy feeling in my throat. Went to the doctor and was finally diagnosed.
Not excited for my future atm haha
I just found out I have it. I went from being a happy vibrant beautiful woman weight was 145 and I am 5 ft 5. In just two years I lost myself. I lost my looks. I lost my happiness and I lost my health. Im now 183 pounds. I need help to loose this. I feel so hopeless and feel I’m stuck like this
I had to look at the name of this comment to see if it was one I posted in the past. SAME exact weight change before sndw after, same exact height, and same exact losing myself story. I have been eating good and exercise for a year and have gained muscle but can’t lose the fast layers on my face, core and arms. I am basically bald and am trying to decide if I should shave my head and get a wig bc it’s that bad.
I am hopeless and hate myself and hate my life as sad as that sounds.
your comment is from a year ago, have you have any progress over the year??
@@kristierin I’m now havin a ton of joint and bone pain and went through menapause early I lost the weight but I got on the weight loss shot and it came off I’m sorry to hear ur having problems just hang in there it don’t really get better but you learn to accept it and live with it
I was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism and it makes so much sense. For about 4 months, I was super committed to losing weight and by all of the calculations I did, I should have been losing 1.5-2lbs a week. I lost 6 pounds over the course of 4 months and that’s when I knew something wasn’t right. I was doing everything correctly and losing pretty much nothing. I’ve just started taking Levo, so hopefully taking that will make it a little bit easier to lose weight.
Wishing u luck 🙏🙏
Did it help? I have the same problem - I exercise 2 hours a day, eat 1200 kcal and I f**ing can't lose weight!!! I am so frustrated...
@@lovelypolishperson5566 are you thyroid underactive
Gluten free helps significantly! People with Hashimoto's/hypothyroidism should always be gluten free. It has helped me so much!
Jenna Downey I had thought it was for people with Celtic disease. I had heard it was beneficial for people with hypothyroidism. I just didn't do more research
I’ve been told by a Doctor, to loose weight, try this! “Don’t Buy or eat food That is White, and avoiding all foods that can be turned into Flour. Nothing that is in a box, I am loosing very small amounts per week!
Anyone out there tried this ?
Gluten molecules (if able to pass through the gut large enough) mimic thyroid tissue. So can cause a flare up of the illness
Im 58 and and finally getting my hypothyroidism under control. I've suffered needlessly for so long. I have not found main stream doctors helpful at all. Many won't address symptoms and brush it off as anxiety depression. I highly recommend if your doctor doesnt take your symptoms seriously to go to a naturopathic doctor. It will change your life. Thank you Katie for your channel and products. I'm so glad I found you! 😊
This is so helpful! I had hyperthyroidism (you're right - you don't want it!) I had my thyroid removed and now am hypo. It's been a real struggle getting my dosage correct. Brain fog and fatigue CONSTANTLY! I'm going to bring up the secondary medicine you're taking next time I go to the doc. I think they're only measuring my T4. Thank you Thank you!
yes, brain fog!
I was born with no thyroid gland
WOW what type of med do you take?
Rebecca Jost kok
Docs destroyed mine with radioactive iodine.
I’ve been having these symptoms for years! & I was just recently diagnosed. You have no idea how helpful this was. Thank you for talking about it.
thank you so much for sharing your experience with hypothyroidism. i got diagnosed when i was 12, and i’m now almost 17 and i have been struggling super badly with it recently (the weight gain is especially emotionally draining to me). hearing your experience made me reassured and inspired. ❤️
It is so nice to find out that your not the only one struggling with these issues
This last year I've have been battling thyroid cancer. So my whole thyroid has been removed. I've gained about 20 lbs .. im on thyroid medication now and am finishing my treatment. So 2021 is going to be all about trying to love myself and take better care of myself. So your videos will really help figure out where to start. I also plan to get your app! Thanks for being so helpful!
Aw I'm so glad I could help in any way! :) xoxo
i have had hypothyroidism since i was born,constant blood tests and check ups, levothyroxine everyday, but i'm okay :)
So glad you're doing well!
Same
me too!
You were taking only levothyroxine tablet or with other tablet also tell me bro I am also facing hypothyroidism disease may be and my body bone are becoming weak and hair is losing ,swelling pain abdomen weight is increasing and I can't food much more like past ,and my body can't produce sweat even in gym and swallow in throat I am very anxious about plz guide me as a bro !!!??
You're lucky, people! I have a year left to see a test, if I'm doing well, I'd be okay, I guess😌❤
I've been feeling really fatigue and lethargic and it's affecting my school work. I'm only 21 and I don't want to do anything other people my age are doing like going out and partying. It really drains me. I slept for 10 hours then napped for 3 in the same day. My bio prof talked about anemia and I thought that may be it but now I think I def have hypothyroidism. I have all the symptoms and my mom has it too. I will be seeing a doctor bc I don't want it to affect my school or work.
Your video came at the perfect time! Everything happens for a reason! Thank you
So_suweet I think I started taking thyroid medication at your age. I'm glad you are going to talk to a doctor.
I was anemic when I was first diagnosed, but since being on medication I haven't had the anemia. They are very common together though. I'm so glad you are going to see a Dr. It can take a bit for medications to kick in so the sooner the better if you do need them. xo
@@iLov3makeupx do you have any updates? Were you diagnosed with hypothyroidism?
This video gave me so much clarity. Im currently getting blood work done for my thyroid and its SCARY! Being dependent on medication has always been a fear of mine, but this video really helped me out and gave me some great insight on what to expect. Its great to know I'm not alone! Thanks you so much!
So welcome! Don’t be scared. You can manage it :)
You gave me back my hope. I went from hyperthyroidism between 17 and 22, to now hypothyroidism at 24 and im so.. so scared. I felt so hopeless. I was training 3 to 4 times a week, was eating better, took a lot of protein and omega-3.. no results. Only weight gain. Im realizing I might have to do more and inform myself better, and that it is possible to get better.
Thank you a lot for your video. I needed to see this. im gonna beat this!
Living with hypothyroidism and PCOS was a big mess not until I came across Dr okouromi on RUclips, the holistic herbal doc whose herbal medication and body cleanser finally cured me and restored my life after 5 years of battling with it, no side effects it took 3 weeks and got cured completely with Alternative Herbal treatment🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨
Thank you so much for sharing this. I was diagnosed one month ago and I was feeling very awful. All the symptoms you named I have as well. I am still trying to figure out the right medication for me but it's a start. Finding you and your channel as brought inspiration for me to work towards a healthier me. Thank you!
Oh my gosh. I am in the middle of trying to figure out what's going on with me and my thyroid. I hit all of the symptoms of hypothyroidism and/or hashimoto's BUT my thyroid levels keep coming back in "normal range" despite my thyroid being enlarged. I was just watching your video about what to eat with hypothyroidism and HOLY MOLY I literally eat brussel sprouts and broccoli DAILY. So I'm trying to get educated and start doing what I can to help heal my body despite my blood results.
I am in the same exact position. It’s scary and overwhelming. Did they make you do a thyroid uptake scan?
Today I finally found out what was wrong with me. I've suffered through all of these symptoms for years. She took more blood today and told me she'll be calling me in a couple days to start meds. I'm so excited to get to feeling better. I've been on a weight loss journey for the last two years and I've lost 51 pounds so far UNTIL last month. Last month without changing my diet at all I gained 10 POUNDS! I track what I eat and exercise regularly. Plus now I have elevated cholesterol and apparently, that happens often with hypothyroidism. Now I'm even more motivated to make progress and can't wait to get to feeling better.
You got this girl! I hope this helps xo Katie
very informative video, thank you Katie.
I was there too and can not stress enough what a huge, negative impact stress can have on your thyroid function. Getting rid of all the stress factors I do have control over, was a huge gamechanger for me and my clients
I'm a male in my early 20s and I suspect I have hypothyroid even though my levels were "normal" I did more research and came to the conclusion that my doctors don't actually know anything about hypothyroidism. Like you point out, hypothyroidism is something that affect everything! It is under diagnosed and both men and women get it. Hypothyroidism affects our mental health too, it creates anxiety and depression as well as mood swings and irritability not to mention brain fog. I think you have awesome points, especially when you talk about t4 & t3. Sometimes people are unable to convert T4 to t3 and those people keep suffering hypothyroid symptoms. People should request a full thyroid panel test so that they can see if their bodies are converting the hormones. If they are not then having t4 and t3 medication would greatly help, it may virtually help someone feel normal! Of course even those who don't suffer from hypothyroid and have a normal thyroid must also work out and eat right so we have to learn how to eat properly and exercise not just to look good but to be healthy both mentally and physically. Medication is probably 50% responsible for feeling better and the other 50% is exercise stress reduction and diet. I hope all you lovely people get retested and live life as you were meant to be, normal and happy!
You can have different symptoms for both hypo and hyper, I hade it but I’am hyper, My regular doctor sent me to an specialize doctor in thyroid problems so I got diagnose really fast took only one month and then I was on a medication :3
Richard Galax ,, that was well said 👍my doctor has changed my meds 4 times this year ,, and I still feel tired ,, I was diagnosed 35 yrs ago and losing this 20 lbs is exhausting,,,,
♥️ thanks for sharing this! It's so easy when I'm in a slump from hypo to feel less hopeful, you're a great inspiration right now!
Just found your RUclips/everything and fell in love! I downloaded the app and just got the hypothyroidism meal plan! I’ve been diagnosed with hypothyroidism since I was 18 and now I’m 27, I’ve had weight gain all through these year and my body looks like your before pictures. I’ve always used my diagnosis as a excuse too and have tried to change but nothing has worked or kept me going. Thank you for motivating everyone/me and your story and guides motive me to make that change. Looking forward to follow this path you paved for us fellow ladies with hypothyroidism!
Thank you so much. I was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism which has provided so much clarity and insight into why I've been struggling with all of my aymptoms for so long. I've been researching diet and exercise and I've just been so insanely overwhelmed by all of this information. You've given me hope and strength to really be able to tackle this and kick its butt. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'm so happy you found it so helpful! I completely know how frustrating and challenging it can be when you feel alone on it, but there are so many LSF girls dealing with the same stuff. So glad we can all share and support each other.
Hi. I am 12 and I have felt really unwell recently so I got a blood test. It came back and it says I have a low thyroid. I am EXTREMELY nervous and I haven’t gotten any medication yet. This video has been extremely helpful. Thank you :D ♥️♥️
You're so welcome! Best of luck to you!
Hypothyroidism is affecting half of the females more than males. My sister was suffering from hypothyroidism and she is just 22 years old. She was tired of her increasing weight, fatigue, hair loss and other problems related to it. Increasing of these symptoms was quite irritating. Then her friend advised her to take medicine from planet ayurveda. Now she is taking Hypothyroidism care pack of planet ayurveda from last 2 months. Symptoms are reducing and she is feeling good.
Hi!! I know this video is years old, but I was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism two weeks ago and am a college athlete and currently a sophomore. These videos along with the diet ones have really helped me. The last few weeks adjusting to meds before I go back again in a few weeks has been difficult returning to school. Thank you so much for sharing this!!
Hi Kelsie! I'm so glad these have been helpful for you. That makes me so happy. :)
Just got diagnosed yesterday with hypothyroid and I finally know what was wrong with me but I’m scared and overwhelmed, still trying to digest all this ,,, I’m glad I found this video thanks
It's definitely tough at first, but everyone in the LSF community is here for you, babe!
I just wanted to say thank you so much for being so open about this!! I just got diagnosed with hypothyroidism yesterday (I’m 20) and I’ve had all of the symptoms you explained for so long and we finally figured it out but you gave me so much hope and helped calm me down💘
Did you have bad bad anxiety? That's what I've dealt with just found out I have hypothyroidism 3 days ago
I know this video is old but I already followed you and then discovered I also have hypothyroidism. I so appreciate this video and hope that you'll continue to update us on your journey. In the 5 years since this video what have you learned and what would you do differently? Thank you again for being a reliable and REALISTIC youtuber!
So happy I found your channel. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last week. You have helped me put this diagnosis into perspective. Thank you!! Please keep up your amazing videos coming.
Hi Suzanne! Welcome to LSF xo
I just wanna say that this video has given me the motivation I needed to start eating healthy and working out. I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 10 years old. I took Levothyroxine for many years. I gain weight but not that much. My body fat percentage now is 23%. I never really struggled with weight problems but I would like to get better at taking care of myself. I am 18 years old and I weigh 120 pounds. My healthy journey has just started and I am so excited to get myself better!
today was my first day of starting my thyroid medication. I’m 15 and I really wanted to educate myself on it. this video helped a lot!💓
If your only on 15 get off this garbage before it screws up your thyroid.more take it from me the meds destroyed my thyroid
I just found your channel and have been watching video after video for 2 days now :) I love your spirit and genuineness that totally comes through your videos. Thank you for your content!
Aw thank you so much!!
these videos are great! thank you for sharing and everybody commenting, I just got diagnosed last year and it has been a year full of ups and downs. So many people have heard of this condition but don't know all of the symptoms and find it easy to say " oh but that's common you can have that under control with a pill, you'll be fine" . people don't really know all the anxiety, fatigue, heaviness, etc that comes with it and that you have to struggle with day by day, I didn't until now.
Yes, it is a struggle and can be hard, but it can be there is always hope it will get better!
Just diagnosed today. Been a healthy eater my whole life but my levels were finally detected.. I'm happy to finally get answers for years of feeling terrible. Also helps to have a doctor that actually listens.
I'm so glad you finally know! Having a doctor that listens is so important.
@@LoveSweatFitness I've been watching a lot of your videos. You have been incredibly helpful. I do have a question tho, where do avocados stand on the list of to eat or not to eat?
Thank you so so much for this video. I was diasgnosed with a hypotyroidism and i was so scared about that. I don’t lose weight ( I workout five days a week and I eat healthy) and this makes me so sad.but Now I know that everything will be fine! Love you ❣️ ( sorry for my English , I’m Italian 😂)
Thank you for this video. I was diagnosed with hashimotos almost 3 yrs ago. The struggle is real but I wont let this disease define me.
Attitude is everything!! You got this Jodiann
I have been struggling with Hypothyroidism for 16 years, I was not diagnosed for over a year and 60 lbs later. Even though I told my doctor that something was not right, she belittled me. "You have a new baby and two other young kids, of course your tired". It took more than a year to get her to test my thyroid. Once I was diagnosed, she put me on medication, I fired her. I should have done that before. I am now on my fourth doctor. Even though I feel awful, she doctor tells me..."your numbers are in the normal range, your fine". UGH! I take 125 of Levo. I have also just been diagnosed with Hashimoto's and Fibromyalgia. It all sucks! I'm glad to have found your vlog, you have motivated me. I have an appt with an endo in April.
Aww, thanks so much for sharing your story! Dealing with hypothryoidism is definitely tough. I am so glad that you were determined enough to figure out what was going on with your body, it can be hard when doctors aren't as helpful as you liked, I totally get that! I hope your appointment goes well! I so appreciate your kind words.
I have hypothyroidism and I feel like it's controlling my life!!! I feel weak, headaches almost everyday, I also developed an issue with food. Every time I eat I get nausea, bloating, and stomach aches... still don't know why but my doctor only sees me once a year and she says that's all she needs to check my levels which is frustrating because I feel like crap I'm overweight, can't lose it.. but this video did help me realize that I can get better and reach my goals!! Thank you💜💜
I had to have my thyroid removed. I used to have hyperthyroidism and now have hypo and gained a lot of weight. This is such a helpful video I've been looking for someone to relate to, to help lose weight and get back to normal lol
Hormonal balance is VERY important. The human body is like a machine ,if something is wrong its performance is impaired. I saw huge improvement by started taking thyroid medication ,energy levels went threw the roof and exercise recovery time reduced significantly.
Which medication and dosage ?
I have hypothyroidism and recently diagnosed with PCOS too. The struggle is I real!!! You are such an inspiration. I have ordered your hypothyroidism meal plan. Can’t wait to get started 😊
I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism in 2021 when I was 15. It started with me fainting in class and always being light headed. so mum took me to the doctor who then told me what was wrong with me. I have always strugged with losin weight so it doesnt help that I now have a condition that makes it harder to lose weight. But since iv had it I havent gained more weight, Iv actually stuck at a weight that is good for me, I go for walks up hill and maintain what I eat. I never actully knew that there were foods that I couldnt eat, like for example I used to eat apples alot and now I cant because according to my doctor i am alleric to them. Stupid thyroid. I admire you so much you are a star. Im so glad I watched your video because it made me feel less alone.
Maybe its a sign but ive also had hypothyroidism sincei was 13 and they found out about it through blood work when i came in feeling super fatigued that I had a cold for 2- 3 months maybe because my body was just crashing. ANYWAY Im 22 now turning 23 and want to seriously let go of the hypothyroidism crutch!
YES!
I was born with it
I have it and I have never ever had a flat tummy. I was never huge or super over weight but even with my extreme work outs I have never had a flat stomach and thick hair or thick nails.
Alexa Alfaro same. Even when I was hit my stomach poked out like I was bloated all the time
Women have a weird fat pouch that is used for reproduction reserves for pregnancy. There will always be a bit of a pouch, and it will never not completely flat. Be careful to set unrealistic expectations.
I really appreciate this - I just found your channel and I've had hypo for a few years, using it as a crutch is DEFINITELY something I've done. It's awesome to see that it doesn't have to be. Love your channel and your workouts!
The weight gain is the worst part, I gained 50 pounds in 5 years, especially in my face and neck. I have been called fat and so feel so ugly 😿
i was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (yes, the total opposite of hypothyroidism) back in august 2016 and thought that meds can help me manage it but for the past few months my thyroid is not doing well and has been too active (again). so the doctor provided me two options, to either take the radioactive iodine therapy or just continue the meds but with a higher dosage. and once i will choose the first option which is the RAI, i will be diagnosed with hypothyroid.
i am actually very very worried and anxious but watching your video and hearing your story inspired me and somehow made me feel better.
I hope you are doing well bud after 3 years
What sucks is that I'm the only one from my family to have it, so sometimes when I say that I'm having a problem here and there or a pain, they don't believe me anymore and they think I'm imagining stuff.
Thank you! I am a trainer here in LA; I gained weight on HYPERthyroidism and was diagnosed with Graves’ disease eight months ago. I was afraid to take methimazole. After two days, I felt like I got my life back, and intermittent fasting helped. Last month, I got the news that it was working too well, and now my thyroid is not producing any hormones. The problem is, I was out of town on the East Coast, where it is cold, and I couldn’t get to a Veterans Affairs hospital for Levexothyroxone. I had my first flare-up ever. After I got the new meds, it was working “too well” also. I was recently told to stop abruptly and am having withdrawals until my new labs. I just found out, for those reading this, cold weather severely affects your thyroid, and doctors will increase meds around the fall. Hopefully, I can give an update soon. God Bless! 🙏🏼
@fit.with.ryan
I wish you the best and hope everything works out! And thank you for the tip on hypothyroidism in the cold! xoxo
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one dealing with this ! Thank you for sharing ! I love how you keep a positive mindset & character. I just started treatment for the hypothyroidism & I am taking 50mcg
So glad I could help!!
Omg same its so sad
I love this video, thank you!! I think it's so important for the fitness community to talk about how diet and exercise helps/affects health disorders.
Thank you for sharing your story. I have a lot of these symptoms, but my thyroid tests come back normal.
Make sure ur dr knows what they r talking about because my dr said I was fine and it actually wasn't
This seems to happen a lot, and I don't know why. As a lab tech I find it frustrating.
fuscia My psych doctor said my labs looked normal, but my new primary care doctor said it was not so we have been adjusting my medication.
It should be pretty straight forward, but like most things, some Dr's are more aware and better at recognizing the impact even a small abnormal reading can have. I would see if there is a specialist in your area you can see. Also, of course nutritoin is going to be essential .
Same I'm always extremely tired, weight gain, hair always falls out so much, stomach cramps but the doctors always say that my results are normal.
I got diagnosed same age and I am 23, it's fustrating that doctors don't address gut health and dieting and it's something as of the past year that I am now working really hard on but it's definitely a never ending journey because unfortunately our bodies hormones aren't regulate and tracking how much u specifically burn (metabolicly) as an individual with hypothyroidism is almost impossible . But thank your for this content u have Expressed much of the same thkngs I have been experiencing. I won't give up even when the weight gain and loss flunctuates 😭 , I hope that our condition can be studied more and more accessible to receive medical guidance not just pills we have to take for the rest of our lives but knowledge and tools to better our over all health
I was diagnosed with this yesterday... I was glad because I knew why some things were not right but also I was very depressed just to know I was going to take a pill every day for the rest of my life and to know I was going to go through hell with the blood exams, doctor appointments...until I found your blog...I know I have a huge fight ahead but I know I can get there cause you did...so in other words, what I´m trying to say very clumsy is thank you!
Wow, I am so glad you were able to figure out what was going on. You are so strong and I am so glad that the blog could make you feel like you aren't alone. That is also why I started team LSF on Instagram so that people could come together that relate to one another and share their stories. I hope you continue to get clarity in your journey! :)
You are amazing😘
I was diagnosed at 14 and since then I have been taking Eltroxin...now I am 35...and diet can truly help in so many ways!
Btw...I heard that tap water caused many youngsters this “old“ illness due to insertion of fluoride to it. That`s why I only drink mineral water for years now. Keep up the amazing work， love your channel:)
I was diagnosed about 6/7 years ago when I was in 4th grade. I wanted fast results, so I started working out everyday. Nothing was happening, I started eating less and in turn my blood sugar dropped. Hypothyroidism is one of the worst things to possibly ever happen to anyone. I have to take a small pill for the rest of my life.. and I’m serious when I say that if you eat 30 minutes before or after you take the dang thing you’re body goes *oh so we’re gonna be like THIS then* and it really jacks up your thyroid. I know my results won’t be fast.. Just wanted to share that I’m glad I’m not the only one going through this 😓💕
4th grade?😳
I can't believe you were lucky enough to get a diagnosis that young. My doctors brushed me and my parents off for years until I finally had a documented 20lbs weight gain in 7 days. Then it was synthetic thyroid treatment for close to a decade before I was able to secure a prescription for Armour Thyroid, which has radically changed my life for the better. Since the switch, I've had better control over my weight, emotions, and general health, even in the face of other significant health and life issues. Still, I feel like I lost most of my teens and twenties to what was under-treatment and arrogant, lazy doctors in an area where parents who fight doctors end up losing their kids (for real, it's been a terrifying problem in Central Illinois).
I love you soooo much! You videos have changed my life style so much and thank you💘
Aliza Fromwiller agreed.
Aliza Fromwiller Yes!
Oh my gosh you're so sweet! YAY!!! Love hearing LSF has helped!
"it effects your entire metabolism... just a little bit of a big deal" i am also hypothyroid and this made me laugh out loud because its so true
haha I'm glad you can relate!!
WOW I so appreciate you sharing your story. Literally everything you said was me. I am 19 years old and struggle with hypothyroidism since I was 16 and still trying to figure it out. You being so open is really helping me, and never knew anyone that suffered from it and how they are helping it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! SOooo appreciate it

I think people as a whole suffering from any thyroid disease should keep in mind this is still a disease that affects each person uniquely. Depending on your hormone levels, current treatment and other contributing factors results of simply diet and exercise will be vastly different. I say that because I don’t want anyone to get discouraged if the same results do not happen for them. I am struggling to lose weight myself and I eat healthy and workout...always have since finding out I have Hashimoto’s. I actually was smaller when I ate unhealthy years ago lol and have friends that eat unhealthy with hyperthyroidism and yet they can’t GAIN and effortlessly lose weight. Hormones play a huge role and each person is different so research and taking personal charge of your health is completely necessary! Some of us don’t use our disease as a crutch, I don’t. I wish that were the case and that simple, I’d be where I want to right now.
Hi! Im 23 and was just diagnosed and I’m feeling very anxious. Thank you for your video! I only have mild symptoms but I’m worried about being on meds for the rest of my life.
Hi Sophia! I definitely understand the anxiety that comes with it. Once I figured out the medication & nutrition side of things, I started to feel better. :)
I was just diagnosed. This really helped a lot!
Same
I stopped dairy and dropped 30 lbs. I was an avid dancer but no longer can do it as much since having my daughters so I really started feeling it after the pregnancies/cutting out dancing. I reapplied exercise every other day slowly but now my hair is falling out as badly as it did during my pregnancies. I am now attempting to cut out sugar and processed food/gluten.
Around the middle of the video when you said some might wish they had hyperthyroidism, I actually have hypothyroidism and I would definitely take that over hyperthyroidism because I have imsomnia and I can't imagine it being worse than it is and always being overactive! I mean, hypothyroidism really sucks, but it's easier to deal with!
True! Both are difficult, but that is true.
does anyone drink green tea ? i hear its bad for people like us..
I drink it occasionally
Love Sweat Fitness yaaay I love it !! I switched to chai ☕️ tea with coconut milk 🥛 I love it
It can lower blood sugar if someone suffers from hypoglycemia
Gwen Petula makes since now for me !
Meet The Presleys DANGIT I love green tea I love tea in general ;-;
i am 13 and i just started working out for real. i was diagnosed when i was 8 believe it or not and after working out for about a month so far i gained a pound. i’ve tried intermittent fasting but i can’t keep up! thx for this vid!!
I was born without a thyroid gland and never really thought much of it until I hit my teen years and I gained a lot of weight. Now I am trying my best to get informed more about my condition to help in my weight loss journey and ur such a big help! Thnxxx❤
I just recently got diagnosed, my appointment to get on medication is in two days and I am so beyond excited because the hypothyroidism has drastically changed my life for the worst and I’m excited to get back to being my normal self.
That's so great babe 🙌🏼
Just got diagnosed . I am so mad it wasnt hyperthyroidism like man ....i was trying to glo up this year and this has crushed everything.
You're gonna be ok!! It is a tough diagnosis but with the right tools you can totally still have your glo up :)
Same. I was diagnosed 6 months ago. I was only able to lose like 13 pounds this year. I didn’t understand why all of a sudden I gained 40 pounds. I’m still trying to lose the 27 pounds I have yet to lose to go back to my normal weight/: . We got this. I know we’ll make it!
I just got diagnosed moments ago, thank you so much for sharing!
Wow your speaking to me!!! I was diagnosed at 7. Finally at 30 I’m staring to learn and need to get my life on track!! Thank you so much for understanding what we are going through. Your an inspiration!
Oh my gosh so glad you found this. 7 is so young too! How are you feeling now that you've been making changes?
I have just diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I am so scared about it. My question is : am I going to be on medication for the rest of my life ? Is my thyroid going back to normal ?
Hi there! Everyone is different, but the medication I'm on has helped me so much. I know hypo can be scary, but this community is here for you along the way! :)
You’re so well spoken and beautiful!
