Gosh it's one thing to really understand a topic, but it's a whole other skillset to be able to explain it simply to people who aren't experts. She's awesome!
Teaching is, ironically, a skill that has to be taught more often than not. Entire college degrees are about teaching.
That is being a true expert. If you can explain it to a 10 year old, you got it
Right? I don't know where WIRED find these people but the vast majority does an excellent job of explaining and answering the questions well without either oversimplifying the subject or being too technical and obtuse.
If you cannot explain a topic so the general population can understand it, you're not an expert.
I agree she's a great teacher. Another thing I admire with great teachers like her is that she acquired some knowledge of neighbouring areas of specialty (like neuroscience).
Years of hypoglycemia, no doctor explained insulin resistance as beautifully as her
You can watch Dr Berg. He also make explanation about your issue.
Insuline resistance is still an advancing field of research and there's a lot of details that are yet to be unpacked, Its really interesting and I advise you to do read some of the papers related to it, fun fact, studies have shown that those with dwarfism have decreased risk for Insulin resistance and cancer, and the science behind it (regarding growth hormone, resistin , insulin receptors) are fascinating to say the least
Did you not try googling it? 💀This was literally one of the first things I learned in bio. I'm sure google has many decent explanations.
@@tatiaa7206 OP said "as beautifully". :)
Disagree, because it's not that the insulin "becomes deaf" to shuttling the glucose into the cells. It's that the cells are just stuffed full of glucose and are refusing to open that door.
It's like trying to shove 1000 coats into a small closet which will eat one coat per day. You can easily shove those coats in over a long period of time, but if you try to shove all of those coats in a single week... week after week after week. You can't do it. You would end up with coats littered on the floor all around that closet and create a tripping hazard.
So the pancreas tries to increase insulin to "try to shove those coats into that closet." Mainly because high blood glucose is poisonous to the body. Chronic high blood glucose over long periods of time makes your blood vessel walls brittle. That's why people with long term (and untreated or treated with only increasing their insulin via shots) type 2 diabetes will often have eye problems or have to get a foot amputated. It's the little capillaries that will break meaning there will be cells that can't get nutrients. Those cells start dying and can bring a cascade of issues.
Wired never fail to call in the right people!
I don't know about that. This doctor is great but it probably would have been better to have a female doctor who is a board-certified endocrinologist since they are literally hormone specialists.
@@MurrayHill17 ok I guess
This is so true that it’s funny 🤣😩 every one of these mfs DESERVES their CHECK !
She explains things so easily and straightforward I love it ❤
if she was my Science teacher, I would've listened to her whole class and passed with an A Grade.
I see you everywheree
I will pass the exam
That comparison between insulin and tired parents is the best analogy I've heard describing how insulin works.
I have one PSA about birth control... If you are a woman who is thinking about going on the pill, get a blood test first. Ask your doctor to test for Factor V (5) Leiden and lupus anticoagulant. If you have either of these conditions, BIRTH CONTROL COULD GIVE YOU A BLOOD CLOT.
The possibility of a blood clot never even came up in conversation about side effects because it's apparently very rare. It happened to me. A $100 blood test could have prevented a $60,000+ life saving surgery (thank God I have insurance). Turns out I have lupus anticoagulant, which makes me sensitive to estrogen and progesterone. Now I know if I choose to have a baby I will need to be on blood thinners and I'm at higher risk for miscarriage.
Also, the partner could just wrap it lol. Unless one of you is allergic to latex. Though, there are condoms that are latex-free. But, those are less effective. Also, this was really cool to learn about. Glad you're safe, at least.
I just got diagnosed with PCOS so hearing all this glucose and insulin resistance information is really good timing for me!
I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through this. I’ve been struggling with PCOS for 18 years. An endocrinologist will do wonders for you, mine changed my life when none of my other doctors would listen to me
@@xnicolex44 What did the endocrinologist do for you? What changed? My doc told me 15ish years ago that it just is what it is, nothing to be done about it, so I just sort of accepted that. Would love to know what treatments there are now.
@@xnicolex44 no wonder why all my gynecologists advice was of no use
@@sciamhach I am so sorry your doctor said that to you, I've been in that boat too. One of my previous gyno's told me for years, "It doesn't matter if you eat boiled chicken and broccoli for every meal, the weight won't come off bc of PCOS," and my general physician said, "Eat more lean meats and proteins, and exercise more" -- and I was already doing all of those things and working out multiple days a week, but gaining weight like crazy. I was bordering on becoming a Type 2 diabetic because of the PCOS (insulin resistance) and my family history, so I saw my endocrinologist and they put me on Rybelsus and it has been a *miracle* for me. I dropped 60 lbs. in under a year, my A1C has come down one point so I'm no longer classified as a pre-diabetic, I get full faster so I eat less (wonderful side effect of the pill), and it also makes your stomach empty slower so you stay full longer and don't feel like you need to eat as often. They also put me on Spironolactone to help with the excess facial hair. It targets any hair that grows as a result of excess male hormones and turns them white. So they still grow in but you can't see them like when it's the thick, coarse, black hairs. I took all of this information back to my general physician and gyno and they were stunned. They said they need to look into this and see about prescribing it to their patients with PCOS. It blows my mind that in this day and age, when PCOS is a well-known hormone imbalance, that doctors still have no idea how to treat it, and continue to tell patients to just eat well and exercise. That's not always enough. So, I highly suggest talking to an endocrinologist, I think they can help do wonders. Hormones are their specialty and they know way more about how to treat them than someone who doesn't specialize. One last point I'll make is that a lot of insurances won't cover Rybelsus if you're not a Type 2 diabetic or headed in that direction because the medicine is expensive and they don't understand why you need it if your A1C is normal. I'm considering drafting up a letter to the FDA about this, but that's another topic for later. If you talk to your doctor and that becomes an issue, there are other medicines in the "Semaglutide" family that may give the same results. I hope all of this information helps you (and others!). Please let me know if you make an appointment and how everything goes. You deserve the best medical care when having to live with this syndrome.
@@ahsanamohsin2468 Absolutely, which is crazy considering that ovaries are their specialty, but hormone treatment is not. Please see my reply to Sciam above, I hope it can help you if you're struggling with your PCOS
I never perked up so quick at the mention of “I wrote a book on it”. Then after hearing the title I was instantly like, “Where can I buy this effing book?!”
This kind of series are informative and fun to watch. Kudos to the expert for answering with enthusiasm 🙂
A lot of people don't understand that low T in a woman is also dangerous to her health.
Same for high estrogen. My mother had high estrogen and it was a factor in her developing cancer.
@@guyincognito8440 Everything else on this planet revolves around men, sit down.
Why
@@guyincognito8440 Bro chill
Have you seen more plates more dates? He did a whole thing on birth control. Title of the video is birth control for men. But he speaks about how it affects women
Hormonal acne is such a hot topic lately so I'm kind of bummed that this wasn't talked about in this video
this is a good video on an important matter but I just hoped we'd get more info and longer explanations
Hopefully they bring her back, i would love to hear about hormonal acne.
If you’re hormones are out of balance, you will get hormonal acne. Hormonal acne shows up in certain places on the face typically. Usually along the lower jawline.
@@ijustwanttosleepnow yeah i just hoped to get more in depth info about this
I agree! I have pretty heavy hormonal acne, and I’m going to the doctor soon about it, but I really wanted to hear her talk about it! My doctor says she thinks I have a hormonal imbalance that is causing a whole bunch of issues I’m having, so this video was super helpful to understand what a hormonal imbalance is.
i love how passionate she is about this. pls have her back i could listen to her talk all day
This doctor is fantastic! Clear explanations, obviously passionate about her profession, great presence and enthusiasm. She’s wonderful!
So... the nervous system is kind of like a telephone network, and the endocrine system is like the postal system, right? Except that the postal system brings something directly where it needs to go, whereas the endocrine system puts the message in the blood, confident it will be received by the appropriate party.
That's a great analogy!
think of it as the endocrine system needs the perfect post box to deliver the parcel - and all the other postboxes will be ignored
@@sajeallen1552 that's a great refinement of the original analogy too!
I was taught it was like a radio signal, and parts of the body turn on different channels to receive them. Hormones go everywhere, like radio waves, but post is still just A to B.
@@caitthecat That works, too. Then drugs and other compounds that are picked up by those same receptors are sort of like radio interference.
d-y-keto-watch-4, lol. really got all the right parts together there
at least she said it that way and not the other way
I was looking for this comment lol
Came here for this comment 😂
we gotta watch out for those DY Ketos!
I had an issue with birth control pills- they made me super duper bitchy constantly. Tried like four different ones w same outcome before my dr suggested I try a Mirena. No more crazy mood swings and no periods, it was a game changer. I’m so glad they had started letting those of us who’d never had kids get them!
I always enjoy the expert answering twitter questions videos
I see a lot of people saying that WIRED always get really good people and don't get me wrong they do! But I am beginning to believe that perhaps there is just more hope for humanity and that there are just more people out there like this than I thought.
Exactly this. The show offers hope. Doesn’t matter who is finding these people, but the fact that the series consistently delivers on giving great, smart, authentic people a platform to showcase their profession and intelligence, shows us that there are a lot of outstanding humans out there.
i love this but the way she pronounced "dyketowatch" LMAO honestly wouldn't be surpised if she had to mispronounce it to avoid censors or something
I was looking for a comment like this lmaoo
I honestly think it just didn’t occur to her! 😂
Agreed, @cofuente. It was a very wholesome moment. 🙂
Hilarious and wholesome moment, absolutely 🥰
Shout out to Alison Bechdel.
She’s amazing! So knowledgeable, so articulate and fun!
I never checked my T levels but a few months ago I was feeling really down in my dead-end job and ... my balls hurt. I got an appointment with the doctor and I found out I had varicoceles strangling my testicles. I had them surgically removed and a couple of months later I quit my job and started a new business of my own. I'm just feeling happier.
Yes king 👑
A bit extreme so do you have to inject testosterone now?
@@richardswaby6339 nope. When I healed after the surgery my mood changed and I even lost weight
Also please keep an eye on ur thyroid related hormones. Especially if you have family history.
My mom had a stroke because of her hyperthyroidism.
After some of the questions asked in this video it actually made my hormones hurt. I'm sure this Dr. questioned herself on why people are the way they are!! Nice job
So glad I watched this, learned some very important things I’m now gonna ask my drs about!
My wife is a 2x cancer survivor. After her second battle, her weight exploded. It was a long process of working with her regular Dr, sleep Dr, endocrinologist and nutritionist to finally figure out a solution and hormones were a BIG factor that influenced so much!
Edit: she has her weight under control but now (and has been an issue) her sleep is still up and down
What a strong and beautiful couple
Good to know your wife's weight gain is a problem for you, disgusting worm.
@@looksirdroids9134 good to know you cant comprehend English you fuckin imbecile.
Does she eat a lot of sugar?
I ask because I was an insomniac all my adult life until -- for unrelated reasons -- I gave up eating obvious sources of sugar. Within a week, I wasn't an insomniac anymore. It's been over 4 years now, and I haven't had any trouble sleeping since. In fact, I'd probably have gone right back to eating sugar again if it hadn't inadvertently rid me of sleep issues.
I still eat things with sugar...fruit primarily, and a lot of foods with small amounts of sugar added. Just nothing like, you know, cake. Or soda.
EDIT: I still drink a lot of coffee and tea, so it wasn't caffeine. Just to head that off. ;)
@@kyledaugherty1609 she does not. She actually went back to being vegan and that actually helped her a lot (she used to be vegan for like 13 yrs before she met me lol) in general.
She used to be a big coffee drinker but she's moved over to tea (non caffinated). She did have a Red Bull habit when her sleep was really bad, but she's been able to kick that too (for the most part)
This video just reminded me that I need to ask my doctor to check my testosterone levels. I've had suspicions that they might be low for a while.
d-y-ketowatch had me rolling
😂😂
Great video! The information is so clear and understandble. Thanks WIRED💞
I wish she actually said how bad contraceptive pills can be bad for certain individuals. I had a terrible time after taking the pill for a couple of years - my doctor thought I had insulin resistance and turned out my body basically crashed because of the pill messing up with my hormones! I’ve been one year and a half off the pill and I’m so much healthier and happy.
Everyone reacts differently to any medication. Sometimes adjusting the dosage is required (which can be done with BCP, too), changing the medication or stopping it all together.
Hopefully, your doctor listened
To your concerns & worked with you. There are lots of hormone-free contraceptives out there nowadays.
Glad you’re feeling better!
On top of that they actually can often make women attracted to a type of man that off the pill she wouldn’t be attracted to. Isn’t always bad but it can screw up relationships
@@DaveE99 That book is insane
On the flip side of that, hormonal birth control is a crucial part of managing my rare chronic pancreatitis. I couldn't live without it. Everyone is different for sure and it's always good to know your options as well as their pros and cons.
@@DaveE99Dr Jennifer Gunter explained why this study is pretty poor quality and has been debunked. The methodology was flawed and the sample size was small, other studies that researched this used bigger sample sizes and found that hormonal birth control didn't have this effect.
Wow, I just gained so many cool pieces of knowledge, I love these segments-but she is by far one of the most passionate people Wired has brought in; you can tell she loves her job and I love the way she explains things to get points across! ❤️👏
I really love this series. I find that i always learn something new.
Glad to be learning new things. Thanks Wired 😇
Omg i've learned so much with this video, thanks!
Please do Nurse Support, it'll be amazing ♥️
Yes yes yes yes yes
Nurses don’t know anything, otherwise they would be doctors
@@annaSHRRR You obviously don't know a thing about medicine.
Amazing! A lot of questions answered.
Thank god! An actual expert talking about hormones and not some shill trying to sell supplements.
So fascinating
These "expert answers" videos are the best thing in this channel.
i learned a lot as always. thank u
She’s great! I really enjoyed how engaging her question reads and answers were :)
She just inspired me to pursue medicine/medical research even more 😍
All the best to you
I started getting depo provera shots (progestin) about 10 years ago and it was absolutely life changing. If you have bad periods, if you feel like it really just makes you miserable all the time, or you just hate remembering to take a pill every day, seriously check it out. With stable hormone levels I don't have to deal with migraines, cramps, back pain, irritability, weird mood swings, oh yeah and the bleeding... and don't have to buy pads / tampons / period panties!! Yeah there are possible side effects long-term (bone density loss) and you have to get a shot every 3 months, but considering how terrible periods can be, it's totally worth it.
This is part of why the rhetoric about contraceptives being immoral and banning them is so dangerous. They're totally necessary for medical reasons for some people.
It's just really important to remember that everyone is different. The level of havoc wreaked on my body by any/all types of hormonal birth control was such that if you asked me to choose them or death, I'd just die. ESPECIALLY progesterone only birth control, which was the more recommended option for me since I'm prone to migraines and giving estrogen to people with migraines increases stroke risk. Although as soon as I started the birth control, my migraines and a million other extremely negative symptoms increased. I'd highly recommend women in the scenario you're describing start with a pill form of progesterone-only birth control before jumping to the depo shot, because that way, if they have an adverse reaction, they can discontinue the pill and be back to normal fairly quickly. If you have a bad reaction to the depo shot, you're going to suffer for months before it's out of your system. If you tolerate the pill well, THEN you could jump to the shot.
Im so glad depo worked for you. For me it destroyed my body. Gained a ton of weight overnight which gave me brand new stretch marks (right after finally healing my puberty stretch marks), and other awful stuff. Im on non hormonal BC now because all the hormonal ones ruined me in some way, i wish there were more options besides the copper IUD but such is life...
Its just so wild how ppl can have vastly different reactions to BC. I know depo works for lots of ppl so i'm not hating on it but wouldnt it be nice if you could predict the effects BC has on you before taking it?
I used to get a fever every single month because of periods. The pains started a week before the bleeding. Then bleeding and fever. Then a week of exhaustion and recovery. That didn’t leave me with many good weeks.
When I started depo, the periods stopped and all became peaceful. In hindsight it also turns out I have POTS, and bloodloss with this condition is not great. 🥲 I think the increase in acne and the weight gain is the lesser evil in this case.
Same! Getting progesterone saved my life. I used to bleed through a large tampon in 90 min - 2 hrs, and I had heavy flow for seven full days. It got to the point I was bedridden for 2-3 days with period pain every single month. I take it and estriol in a cream that I use every day except days 1-6 of my cycle
I love this so much b/c it educates on how there's wayyy more hormones than just estrogen & testosterone.
this is one of the most important "Support" series ever.
I really enjoy these videos Wired. I've worked in the medical field for 22 years and know a great deal but even I've learned some cool information!
I would love to see one of these just on the thyroid itself so that I can stop having to give an anatomy lesson every time I tell someone that I don't have a thyroid and can just show them the video.
Yeah. I just got diagnosed with thyroid cancer and I would love to learn about those hormones
@@emilywilliams3433 I can teach a little. What do you wanna know?
@@madmadammeag5141 I don’t really know specifics. Just like what they do. And what the pills do and stuff like that
@@emilywilliams3433 Well the pills replace your thyroid hormone, which you need to live. Generally when you have thyroid cancer they remove the entire thyroid so you need to replace the hormones. And those hormones regulate.... well, a lot. Your mood, your body temp, your weight, and your periods just to name a few.
As a pre/perimenopausal woman who is constantly tired, this video essentially makes me more tired. But now I know more about why! lol
Smart people like her are so great! Also love she is an expert in female health! Women helping women is the best! ❤️
I learned more about my body in this 16 minutes than I have in the past 20 years of Dr visits. Thank you!
Literally studying what she said in my senior Bio book
Ooh, this is gonna be a good one. Hormones are such an interesting topic that I've wanted to learn more about.
I have a condition called Septo Optic Dysplasia where my body doesn't make hormones. If you want to know more I can tell you.

As someone with hormone imbalances and in my 30's today I can confirm that over the last 3 years I have indeed grown taller, about 2.3 inches to be exact (actual 6cm).
I’d love to read her book!
very informative!
Wow, what a beautiful Dr.! Love the purple she's wearing, great answers too.
Thanks doc
I love how descriptive she is on the topics and I absolutely hate how this video is edited to cut her words down to what the channel thinks is needed
What on earth happened to society/education for people to think that all hormones are bad and you need to get rid of them? I'm not trying to shame the person that asked at all, I'm just trying to understand how they came to that conclusion
It’s more the lack of education, I think. The normal bodily functions are either poorly addressed, never addressed at all or are condemned as “evil” depending on the school system & one’s parents. So kids are more confused & afraid to ask questions. I’m glad my mom was an RN to teach me about these things. I’m an RN, too, and my girls ask me all kinds of things.
Probably because men usually accuse women of being “hormonal” anytime a woman does something they don’t like.
Keep in mind that there are literal children on social media, who may not (yet) understand the nuances and complexity of our bodily systems. And they like to exaggerate. Best not to take internet comments too literally, especially if it's just the one comment and not a full conversation adding more context.
I've also seen a lot of people online demonizing testosterone. Some uneducated people seem to equate testosterone with toxic masculinity as weird as that sounds. Id like to see schools actually put more of an effort into teaching kids about these things.
@@meikusje they need to raise the age of being on social media to 17-18. Thirteen is too young for the amount of bs that's on here these days.
I just learned that my stress will do me an un-alive and now I’m even more stressed which just accelerates my end.
Stress absolutely affects you physically. We need a little stress but constant, overwhelming stress degrades
our systems. Hopefully, you’ll find a way to relieve some of your stress- a warm bath, hot tea, not listening to the news for a day, reading, drawing, throwing things, smashing things, therapy, exercise, pets…whatever works (and doesn’t hurt anyone else. 😜)
@@KristenRowenPliske Or, you know, removing the stressor(s). Within reason, of course. ;)
Bruh go offline then?
"dy keto watch" 😭💖 love her
This might have helped me find the cause of some recent minor health issues. Glad I watched
Note to editors: *hormone
Ok this doctor is brilliant but I cannot get over her pronouncing username “dyketowatch4” as “dee why keto-watch four”
(male here) couple of years ago a blood test showed low testosterone, and I had several symptoms. Went on T. For less than a month. Because, though I needed it (still do), the hassle of getting T. supplements was more than I could put up with. Am really hoping it's easier for women. Meanwhile, I'm thinking of trips to mexico, india, or canada.
good luck with getting T bro, i've been on it for 4 years and thankfully it isn't as hard to get in europe, but still took a year of doctor visits to get started
I’ve had a really stressful week and found this video super helpful.
Wish you a very blissful week aheah and may you find the strength to navigate the situations in your life!! 😊❤️
I was eating a peanut butter crisp rice bar that didn't look like Rice Krispies and was wondering how they're made and came across your video. Well done!
That said, the amount of rice that makes in a box is probably very little, but when you factor in time to par boil, then dehydrate then cook and package, the time may be worth the money.
Dr Shah is clearly very knowledgeable, but not only is she not an endocrinologist, she's also not a 'women's health expert'. She is double board-certified in internal medicine and immunology, but she also promotes alternative medicine.
always funny when people ask questions starting with 'did you know blablabla'. of course they know, they're experts, that's why they are on the show!
Well I have enough cortisol thank you very much, but coffee helps my headaches so it's amazing. Btw, love this lady! She explains everything so well and has amazing energy. I would trust my life to her
You may have ADHD
they really included a tweet by someone named ecoterrorist 😭😭 i was not expecting that
“D-y keto watch” was my favorite lmao
Thank you for sharing.
Quite informative indeed!
Also, have you heard of the
#SaveSoil #ConsciousPlanet movement before ?🌍🌎🌏
5:43 She said D Y keto watch 🤣 I'm dead bro 💀
Great infor; thanks! Male here; used to take melatonin for sleep. Gave my nightmarish dreams. But I did sleep. I've now kicked the habit. (was not taking a huge amount, but perhaps 10mg on occaission.)
I always feel very depressed and anxious in week before my periods, but when they finally arrive I actually feel very calm and in peace with the world despite period cramps that are usually super painful. Is it just me?🙂 I also feel my best in the first part of the cycle (14 days after bleeding stops) and slowly decline after before my cycle starts again.
Yup.. me too!
That pretty much describes my cycles though I'm pregnant right now. Exercise, eating less junk food and processed foods, and no alcohol really helped me.
@@samanthab5006 I'm also pregnant🙂 Congrats! Hope you and your baby are doing fine!😇
@@ira6133 I wish you and your baby the best too!
Well, when I looked it up online they said it was PMT/PMS. I did read that exercising helps not like joining the gym but going on walks and light cardio might help.
Yeah no but I have had a progesterone IUD (not oestrogen related I'm guessing?) and it absolutely had *effects*
Thank you!
love this series...so many varieties of topics
5:45 feel the same about panic attacks (i personally don't get em)
2:25 continuous amount of number 5(five) made me laugh and dizzy at the same time
Book ordered!
4:35 Those hormones that relax the ligaments made me so miserable when I was pregnant. I had really bad symphysis pubis dysfunction, I could barely walk in the second and third trimester.
I have the same T-Levels as a 50 year old male at 30 years old, but my doctor says it's still in normal range so yeah...
Battling that. She says I have sleep apnea, even though I have no symptoms of that.
I'm going to need the link to this coffee study please
Glad so many young women are learning the downsides to oral contraceptives. It used to just be pushed on them as if it didn't have massive downsides.
I mean, oral contraceptives are still safe to use and should be encouraged to prevent pregnancy until people are ready.
I don't think the 2 more inches question was about height 😅
Estrogen loss at menopause CAUSES heart disease, Alzheimer's, and osteoporosis. Its not just the annoying symptoms of menopause that are important. Most importantly are the three major diseases of menopause. Consider HRT, even if your symptoms are mild and be sure to be getting an appropriate dose to meet your needs.

"how do we get rid of all of them" 💀💀💀💀
4 pregnancies, 3 kids, 3.5 years net total nursing. I have learned that hormones control our bodies. Every single part of your body. I even became lactose sensitive while nursing my third baby. Praying I'll go back to normal when I stop nursing.
Been going to endocrinologist for years, thanks!
Thank you doctor
i wish she wouldve been given more time; some of the topics just scratched on the surface. and she explained it quite well despite some rather flippant asks.
I got diagnosed with low T just recently
Same. Got on Trt and quality of life skyrocketed. 👌🏻
@@25taylor91 Glad to hear that. I am a 62 year old male who has been diagnosed with low testosterone and low bone density. I have an endocrinology appointment next week.
@@peterjf7723 that’s good. I was at 220 and now I stay around 900 regularly. You’ll be better for it.
@@25taylor91 Thanks. I had been feeling that I was lacking energy and motivation for a while. Then I got a frozen shoulder and had an X-ray that showed low bone density. I have been prescribed pain medication along with vitamin and mineral supplements. The doctor also ordered blood tests which showed to that I have low testosterone. Hence I have an endocrinologist appointment next week.
She said “D-Y-KETO-WATCH.”

Caffeine makes me tired instead of awake or hyper

That can be a symptom with those who have ADHD. Not everyone with it gets tired (I don't) but some do. Some can take there stimulant meds or drink a coffee and go to sleep right after it kicks in🤣
If you think you might have thyroid issues do NOT just stop at a TSH test. Get your antibody levels checked, too.
