2 weeks before my wedding I gained 10 pounds. Seemingly in a blink of an eye, and I didn't understand what was happening. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism and in total have gained over 70 pounds in a year. It has been the hardest thing I have ever been through and I have felt so alone and scared. Thank you for sharing your story and giving me hope that a natural way is possible and maybe one day soon I can also experience the healing you've talked about.

So many women are mislead by diet/fitness culture and medical professionals themselves. Thank you for spreading awareness on women’s health with your story and extensive research. You’ve shared some of the most valuable words of advice which already has and most definitely will change so many women’s lives ❤

A tip, from my nutritionist, that is a good indication of a slow metabolism is whether or not you feel hungry within an hour of waking up. If you don’t feel hunger, that’s a sign of slow metabolism, which essentially means that your body has developed an unhealthy relationship with eating due to underrating or dieting. This was the issue for me and once I started eating more, I found that I was waking up hungry and I actually lost weight in the first two weeks or so! After my metabolism was better, then I would eat in a calorie deficit just like mentioned in the video! Every 3 weeks or so, I would go back to eating more at my maintenance level for about a week before going make to a deficit. This kept my metabolism happy.

[@meeshell2601]

That’s an awesome tip! Thank you!

[@aishahteima]

What do I do if I eat more than what I usually eat for my deficit (abt 1000-1200 calories max) , I gain weight. Like if I eat 1500 I gain weight and don't los anything. Even now, I noticed I los barley anything, even though I exercise too 😔. Ik I have slow metabolism, but idk what to do. I tried everything online and research, but, nothing worked. Any suggestions?

I can relate to the feeling of being tired after a HIIT workout and she actually has a point doing exercises that makes you feel good afterwards should be the priority.

[@sofcreates]

I had a free session with a personal trainer after joining my gym, she had me do a circuit workout that was so fast paced and difficult for me, I couldn't breathe. I am only a little over weight and this was not a friendly workout for my cortisol levels. She scared me so bad by getting in my face about "I've gone through everything you are going through and worse". (essentially calling me lazy.) That's not a woman's woman in my mind. I have Hashimoto's, PCOS (thankfully no insulin resistance), ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, and other health issues. My body is at war with itself and while I am so sad that so many women are also struggling with this, I'm glad I'm not alone. Those who have made the lifestyle changes and are doing much better, you are the light at the end of the tunnel

Just FYI - All of our hormones are regulated by our circadian rhythm. Exercise and diet fall under the circadian rhythm umbrella. When the CR is broken then you are living in a constant state of jet lag and your stress hormones will be dysregulated. This is the true root cause of disease.

[@boop79]

Thank you

[@jadyjumo]

Men and woman have different characteristics that play into it. Especially woman with PCOS and hyperthyroidism. So that’s not really relevant to many. I think she’s definitely thought about her diet and exercise lmao.

[@anapadilla7133]

Yes to this

[@BuddleDuddle]

I mean that’s definitely part of it. I’d say it can be the cause of it, or it can make diseases you have anyway get worse. Hypothyroidism is sometimes caused by Hashimoto’s disease. A big part of that is genetics. Autoimmune diseases wreak havoc on you even if you have a good sleep schedule. Sometimes, it can make establishing a schedule harder. The disease can arise through other causes (much of which we don’t know - the medical community doesn’t understand WHY the immune system decides to turn on itself and when we figure it out, the answer will probably be a lot more nuanced than setting up a good circadian rhythm. We are still trying to figure it out).

So glad you made this videos so that more women like us know how to care for ourselves and not be mislead by the healthcare system :)

[@WrenchMyBolts]

I teared up watching this video. All my life I didn't know what was wrong w/ me and why couldn't I lose weight or exercise consistently or do "effective" and hard workouts like the others. I just got to know a few weeks back about my hypothyroidism and now, I'm taking Thyroxine every day. I feel much better and do not feel guilty anymore doing lighter workouts to lose weight and build muscle. Everything made sense when I understood the problem and it helped me not blame myself anymore. Do what your body likes-! (:

There is an incredible lack of information around the diet and lifestyle for people with this condition, despite its high frequency. Thank your for taking the time to share your struggles and carefully lay out your solutions

[@londonbielicke]

I went through a similar thing after moving to Germany. I've always had a smaller frame, so I did not feel like myself at all after gaining weight. Once I started de-stressing, the weight DROPPED off without any effort. I also went from an intense lifting schedule, to backpacking in europe, to school in Germany and didn't have a period for 6 months. My body was basically screaming for help. It's crazy how much the mental affects the physical. You are beautiful by the way!

[@elizawilson199]

Wow!! I thought I was the only person who went through this experience. I had similar effect after moving to Germany. I gained so much weight. I had never been so heavy and it felt really bad and unhealthy. What did you do to lose weight? Can you provide me with some tips?

[@stargirlmystic4670]

Struggling with this now. I’m 5’0 with a very small frame. I’m not super overweight but the weight I have gained just doesn’t look right on my figure.

[@isayissojetlagged]

Thank you for your video! I’m starting to move again to help me manage my PCOS. No changes in diet but I added exercise. I started with 15-45mins of indoor walking. After a month, I tried to switch to a light weight strength training. I feel so tired and not properly doing the exercise correctly. I now know that my body eases on the slower and controlled movements.

[@ellalaolena]

Mila, I want to thank you so much for taking the time and effort to be on KZbin! I love your Instagram and TikTok content but it's SO nice to see even more of you here without the time constraints. You have inspired me tremendously over the past few months to restructure the way I eat, workout, and approach supplements. I am seeing a tremendous improvement in how I feel throughout the day and how my inflammation has reduced by being more mindful of how I move my body and what I consume. I am still hoping to lose some of the weight I have gained, but I used to think that my health actually depended on the number I saw on the scale and how my stomach looked, but thanks to you I now have more patience with myself and my body and have realized that health with PCOS is a journey not just a simple destination. Thank you for being so brave and real with us about your experience with PCOS and being there for us in times when nobody believed in our symptoms. Much love

[@maddyr6207]

Absolutely agree with the point about High intensity workouts. I used to workout for almost 1 hr every single day but saw little to no difference in my PCOD symptoms (even though I lost 12kg it didn't improve my prolonged periods). Only when I started low intensity workouts like walking 10km & yoga I saw difference in my energy levels & my PCOD. To my shock within 2mths of practicing yoga my prolonged periods became normal (like my period lasted like 7 days at max). But yes, I definetly think consistency & no matter what moving your body is extremely important to improve PCOD.

[@floeyd.2405]

I cannot thank you enough for sharing this video. This has been the single most helpful thing I have come across on KZbin thus far that gave me profound insights about my body and what I may do to respect it. I took detailed notes and will be implementing these changes to my life, starting today. Please, please continue posting. Nobody talks about these symptoms and solutions, and I am tired of being called lazy/incapable simply for not having any strength left in my body to even try. I even booked an appointment with an endocrinologist to see what I could do to improve. Thank you so much. I wish you the best in your journey, and looking forward to watching your next video.

[@filzaarshad6494]

OMG the struggle with the daily constant fatigue without having done anything is real...and then of course being called lazy and useless. Like people don't even use their common sense that how can an active person who's been a strong and excellent sportsperson throughout her life suddenly be this lifeless and drained without any valid reason. I related so hard with your comment. Wanting to become an independent working woman again, but not having the energy to stay long hours at the office or even having a sharp enough mind capable of concentrating on important things without zoning out soon enough. The struggle is real!

[@bmsnow]

This is such an important video. I have been diagnosed with hypo at 12yr and I wish I could have heard to the advice in this video earlier on. Instead I had traditional medicine putting emphasis in only two things: "if you stay on your medication you can live normally, just make sure to watch your weight at all times". Needless to say, that led to feeling miserable for more than a decade, falling ill with eds, having to deal with the constant fatigue and chronic pain, while having no one to talk to. I genuinely hope people starting their journey find this video and are able to feel less alone.

[@kimhuongtran5681]

I have quite the same story. I used to undereat and overtrain a lot to the point where I was severely underweight. Then my hormones and menstrual health were all messed up. I swing from restricting to binging for a long time. Now I find out that I also suffer from hyperthyroidism, skin nail problems and high blood cholesterol. The young ignorant me succumbed to the diet culture and now I have to endure all these consequences. 😢

[@milamagnani]

I had a very similar experience! Unfortunately diet culture and even professional doctors give this ignorant advice.. so don’t feel guilty when not even the professionals know what they’re saying. I’m just glad you have found me and realize that you’re not alone in that experience. Healing is more than possible ❤️

I think you mean hypo thyroid not hyper ?

[@yemisimsagligini]

That’s also my story! Hope you’ll be better!

[@RationalNon-conformist]

Hyperthyroidism is where you lose weight.. if left untreated, you can actually develop hypothyroidism. My sister has this.. I was sub-clinically hypo after my child was born with normal t3 and high TSH.. 8. This girl did not have true hypothyroidism because with true hypothyroidism, you cannot always fix it naturally, sometimes you need hormones (cytomel or liothyronine). Also, she wasn’t overweight, she may not have been skinny, but she was not big. True hypothyroidism is really life changing, the only way out is often getting on the right hormones and eating well. Carnivore works for me, give it a try.

[@claudial1240]

Wow, this is an amazing video ❤ I hope you don't take offence, typically I don't watch "younger female's" on You Tube that tell how they lost weight (I'm in my 40s, perimenopause, endometriosis the list goes on) but this video! You are SO spot on, I was just talking to my sister and we are both experiencing the absolute worst fatigue with weight training, and I'm eating properly not deficit, my body responds so much better with Pilates and dynamic stretching. I also have Fibromyalgia, so the struggle can be so real. I just wanted to thank you for making such a wonderful video for all females 🙏

[@velvetplans5396]

I think that doctors often know of the healthier and safer alternatives but decline to recommend them to their patients because they assume, perhaps correctly, that most people will never put in the level of effort to improve their health as you have done. That doesn't mean they shouldn't try, but I think that's likely a part of it. I'm happy for you that you that you are doing so much better. And thank you for sharing you story and tips 😊

Mila you are a breath of fresh air. I'm so grateful for the algorithm today. You are beautifully in tune with the reality of hormonal well being. I spent 10 years on a medical roller coaster. Suffering from undiagnosed Hashimoto's, led to 30kg weight gain in 2 years, plus exhaustion, very sore joints & many other complications. I too tried to lose weight by increasing my exercise to high intensity levels, only succeeding in herniating both a cervical & lumbar disc plus triggering a sever Hashimoto's episode. I wrongly believed i wasn't exercising hard enough to burn fat, when in fact i was destroying my hormonal balance by not showing my body it is loved. Everything you say in this vlog correlates with my journey. The tortoise 🐢 is now my totem, slow & steady; life's no race. The pathway to health is much clearer being 18kg lighter in body & being. In stillness answers arrive. Congrats on your fabulous well being. Thanks for sharing your story, I look forward to following your journey ❤

Thank you for sharing! I have PCOS, Hypothyroidism, and am also Type 1 Diabetic. The struggle has been insane! When the Hypothyroidism hit, I gained 20 pounds in 1 month, and 30 more the 2nd month. I was told by my Endocrinologist that the weight would fall back off once I started on the Synthroid & my levels got back to normal. That never happened & now I feel no matter what I do, the weight won’t come off. It’s made me extremely depressed. I can’t remember the last time I felt normal or myself. This is definitely one area I feel the doctor’s don’t know a lot about. Even though my levels are in the “norm”, I still get VERY fatigued & often short of breath. I’ve also noticed difficulty in swallowing at times (even though the ultrasounds came back normal), and extreme joint pain & stiffness. I’ve recently started with a new PCP, so I’m hoping for better results from this doctor versus my last. Also, a note about Spironolactone - They may have had you on too high of a dosage. My doctor started me out with 3 per day, and I had the same reaction…a month long menstrual cycle. I dropped it to 2 pills per day, and no longer have that issue. It has helped tremendously with my hormonal acne. It also helped with hair and nail growth. However, that’s all that it’s helped with. If you don’t have any of those issues, it’s probably not needed.

I've had Hashimoto's hypothyroidism and hormone imbalances and been taking thyroxine daily since I was 12. Only recently have I discovered that this is all caused by gluten sensitivity (gluten and thyroid have a similar molecular structure, so your immune system gets overactivated and attacks your thyroid gland instead). For anyone with hypothyroidism, I highly recommend getting tested for gluten insensitivity.

@@dimiriose5087 Hey! I don’t remember exactly but I think it was maybe around the 2 month mark. But don’t go by my timeline cos everyone’s different. I have a very low appetite in general and when I included workouts in my daily routine the drop in my weight was relatively quick. I also completely cut out junk food and beverages, alcohol, sugar, and haven’t gone back to any of those things since. I also recommend doing your own research and really finding the foods and exercises that work for you as you’ll have to stay consistent with it. I had a friend who was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and yoga helped her a lot so highly recommend looking into that too! And stay positive cos your mind and thoughts are very powerful in determining your outward experience🤍 xx

[@shizure3595]

Before getting diagnosed with hashimatos I went to 4 doctors and told them my symptoms and even told them i probably have insulin resistance or some type of hormonal imbalance. None of them did tests for any of those things and concluded that i was lazy or depressed. I was so frustrated because i know my body and they are telling me there is nothing wrong. Lastly i went to endocrinolgy only then i was diagnosed. But i was miserable for over a year and the doctors just ignored my symptoms. I would have dealt with it sooner and not suffered if only they ordered some very simple blood tests. Also thank you so much for the video since i am struggling to lose weight also ❤

[@keigisa]

What a beautiful soul you are, spreading awareness and your own experiences to help others. You are appreciated so much 💕

[@WhereTheWavesAt]

Thank you for this ❤ I just got my blood test results back and feel totally gaslit by my male doctor who says everything is "normal" aside from some low iron levels. I know it's not as I have all the symptoms of Hyperthyroidism and / or PCOS so I just feel so disheartened now 😔 like chronic bloating, weight gain, heavy frequent periods, mood swings, feeling extremely fatigued and having melasma appear on your face when you're not pregnant are not normal. Your video has made me realise I need to trust my body and go down the natural path to truly find out what's going on.

👏🏻👏🏻 Welcome to KZbin Mila! Best of luck for this journey 🍀

[@dodometanight2104]

Hi Mila finally on youtube thanks so much for your advices your content was so helpful since I was diagnosed with PCOS I lost weight during 6 months I started lifting weights for 2 weeks but I started gaining weight and bloating all time so I switched to low impact workouts and it worked thank you so much for your videos that helped me to know the root of the changes of our body❤❤

[@КсенияМешалкина-е3т]

Mila, can’t stop listening to you❤️ so grateful for your thoughts and videos

[@wiikii3937]

Thank you for this amazing video! I found out not long ago that I have PCOS and I stuggle with weight lose for quite some time. I am so glad that you talk about facts and don’t sell any BS which I feel like is so common on the internet around this topic.

[@capyparis]

your nutrition guide was so so helpful and not to mention so aesthetic and easy to follow

[@maiwensanga9734]

I love this video because when I explained to my close friend that high intensity was absolutely destroying my health , making my metabolism slower, hurting my muscle, making me tired etc... They were like: you are just not trying enough or to hardly.

[@AC-lg4tz]

Could you share what thorn supplement you take for your thyroid please

[@daniochoa8a]

Thank you so much for this amazing video and sharing your journey. You have given me a different perspective on how to approach my hypothyroidism so that I can live life more comfortably within my own body. I cannot say thank you enough.

[@michellelotters968]

Thanks for sharing! Also your voice is so relaxing 😌

[@katBerk]

I love her voice and the rhythm of her speaking!

[@whippedcream244]

thank you

[@Kkksa199]

This is the only video I watched till the end ❤ Thank you for making this video

[@Hajbibi]

Thank you that was so helpful for us more sensitive people on our way to weight loss and balance

[@OOO-su8fm]

Thank you , I can’t wait to see more videos from you ! Would love to know how you out on muscle and more on what foods to eat and not to eat

[@VexinaVex]

The algorithm is unbelievable, im just going through the exact same thing... finaly im feeling better about myself because i know where the problems are ❤

[@dlstod]

I took my IUD out, no period for 1 year… and the doctors diagnosed me with PCOS. They wanted to put me on Metformin, birth control, and should I want babies, it’s an easy med that will make me ovulate. I was so tired of all these doctors trying to solve an imbalance with more pills and chemicals. I started rigorous diet (v limited carbs, keto, organic, cooked all my foods, cut all sugar), started to move more, and kept my self on a strict 20 hr fast. In ONE MONTH, I got my period back, and when I did a metabolic testing at the gym, the trainer was so surprised of me burning fat at incredible levels. I lost 3% body fat, 5lbs with just the diet change. Why wouldn’t the doctors recommend this approach first? I just don’t get modern medicine. Somehow we over rotated to solving everything with drugs.

[@juliawhiteway3513]

Doctors don’t recommend this approach because fasting makes you lose muscle mass not fat

[@charmainebbl]

You would think by now doctors would be more aware of this stuff after so many women are coming out from being mistreated and tested poorly. :(

[@munajaanijaan8716]

I think in part it’s because patients want a quick fix. If you tell them to do yoga and follow a Mediterranean diet, they’ll say you did nothing for them

[@Kmm1295]

great recommendations, thank you! more people need to stop following trends and follow what makes their bodies feel better and not over indulge in meds and even supplementations

[@supposed2be]

Reminds me of my experience seeing multiple female doctors, convinced that my hormones are the issue, and them rolling their eyes and basically sending me home saying there's no treatment. I still haven't found a doctor who will take me seriously. I know how I feel when my hormones are right, and I know when they are messed up. When you're doing everything "right" and nothing works, and the people who are PAID to help you, like it's their whole JOB, scoff and turn you away, it can be so heartbreaking. I left those appointments in tears, afraid to continue seeking help because it was so humiliating. I felt blamed, rejected, and like nothing I ever do will be good enough... Like I do not deserve to feel good.

[@ValhallaWise]

Hi Mila! This is an incredible video, i love you sm. Thank you for all the information you have put into this video, i hope to see more from you soon. You are incredible x

[@jinathosain9751]

As a 19 yo girl I have the exact same condition as you. And losing weight really helps in my hormonal imbalance 😊😊❤. Thank you for this amazing video 😊

[@opheliaretardanta8348]

I only have hypothyroidism and have been diagnosed since 2017 when I was 11 and now I’m 16 in the beginning it was very hard because I gained weight quickly and I got my period with imbalances in the beginning and then I got on birth control which my family looked at me a bit differently. This actually helped me changing my diet a with more protein and exercising because I really don’t because of how tired I am from levothyroxine, birth control, and stress❤️thank you for the message

[@monicalabelle1449]

Thank you for sharing Cami, you are such an inspiration!

[@ariadnabarajas2276]

You are the real thing 🎉Thank you for this great information I truly felt the love through your testimony ❤

[@LaylaEagleson-zm4cq]

Thank you mila ❤ I truly cannot express how great full I am

[@ren7815]

This is incredible! Loved this! Thank you so much. Could you elaborate on sources for breathwork and more on the mental health? I think my nervous system is a wreck at the moment. Inflammation is high and I am definitely experiencing a lot of bloating, pain, depression and the likes. Realised this through research. Thank you once again! Looking up your instagram for more :)

[@lenjcnt170]

I remember following a famous fitness influencer. Who's doing the 6 Week ab workout or any clickbaiting purposes title. I did HIIT alot thinking it would help me lose weight. But ended up up so stressed, can;t sleep due to high cortisol level. I have reset my sleep schedule and rely with Melatonin for months due to that. So it's important to build a mindful exercise routine to avoid hormonal disruption.

[@Lily-zd6dx]

I used to do HIIT when i was a teenager and always fell sick and I never knew why until recently.

[@drishtisanger3899]

Thank you so much! I’m experiencing so many ups and downs in my weight. I’m considering getting tested!

[@SN-wi6nn]

You are absolutely lovely and thank you for sharing! I a 100% agree with you on stress being the trigger for all diseases! Looking back when my first symptoms appeared with my thyroid was after a long stretch of emotional stress! I started drinking every morning ashwaghanda with my smoothie and I swear by it! I feel that it soothes my nerves and since I’ve been taking it haven’t had severe anxiety attacks anymore!

[@floeyd.2405]

omg... Thank You for sharing your Journey. I am so sorry for all you went through at such a young age but I am so happy and excited that you didn't give up and found a positive and healthy solution. 😊

[@anti-histamine]

this is exactly what happened to me to the tea from the birth control pills to levothyroxine to losing my period and taking vit d yet still having extreme fatigue and sudden weight gain mind you i was a ballet dancer for almost a decade and my entire life was messed up physically, emotionally and academically and unfortunately lifting was not an option for me as I have hemorrhoids literally after every session i would bleed for days. simple exercises and soft life and no extreme dieting just enough healthy foods and lots of lean protein saved my life two years later i look and feel better. I hope everyone going through this sees the light at the end of the tunnel and go easy on their self. also, i recommend seeing an OB-GYN along with an endocrinologist because sometimes you might have ovarian cysts leading or as a result of such imbalances

[@Lucas_Labelle]

This is so helpful, you’re so brave for sharing your personal journey. I love your content and cannot wait for the next video. I’m so proud of you ❤️

[@milamagnani]

I love you.

[@sanjanakaushik465]

This video and the content you presented felt SO real and SO authentic. Thank you for sharing that! Helps me so much to know that slow paced doesn’t mean you will not fulfill your goals . Slow and steady wins the “race” right?

[@ProsperousBhavna]

I'm having headaches and fatigue almost everyday ever since 2020 , and now 2023 is gonna end and my problem hasn't been solved. Every report comes normal , doctors say its nothing. I feel like 3 years of life have been wasted . I haven't accomplished anything due to constant fatigue. People would say it's intentional that I'm not doing anything. I was so productive before.. I really want my life back

[@fridaoropeza8965]

I love doing weights, but I often overdo it and make myself sick, is soooo hard to find balance.

[@sistagaia]

I’m so happy you made a KZbin!!!! ❤

[@nataliecarmichael3489]

Thank you for sharing, I’ve literally been checking almost everyday to see if you’d posted on KZbin yet. Your content is so helpful and reassuring, PCOS feels so lonely and isolating and sometimes it feels like you’re doing all of these things for nothing. Roughly how long would you say it took you to lose the weigh? ❤

[@milamagnani]

Omg no way 🥹!!! I hope to be posting more on here and have more time to speak to you all. I’m so happy I’ve made your journey a bit easier. That’s my only goal. I’m truly making all this content because I know how difficult it is. I lost all the “weight” in 6 months. I don’t weigh myself, but after 6 months all my clothes before my weight gain finally fit

[@pragatisingh8681]

Thank you so much for your help ❤❤❤❤ I know one of my friend's mom she took some pills to faster metabolism as a side effect she got cancer 😢 and unfortunately no more in this world 🥺🥺🥺 please guys never take any weight loss pills. Being healthy is not a short cut you have to make it as a lifestyle that's best way to go..

[@willy_pistchio6213]

Amazing, your self awareness is on point. Really great information.

[@TheBeautyMage]

I love your voice. It's so relaxing. I can listen to you all day...

[@grownupgoth]

Sorry off topic but your home is gorgeous!

[@ununhexium]

I like the way you talk about this and I've never heard of dim supplement. Thank you!

[@ThaiWithSarah]

I can totally relate to this! Thank you so much for sharing this video! ❤

[@mishuislam7409]

This is the best information I found on the medical issues I'm suffering from, I constantly gain weight unless I'm only eating 1200 calories a day. I don't know if I have hypothyroidism though I have the symptoms but I do have PCOS and inflammation and everything else you mentioned with clinical depression and a mild brain injury that gave me adhd like symptoms making it hard for me to actually do things. I have to break it down to smaller tasks but thanks so much for this information. God bless. xoxo
