Thank you for sharing this video. Perfect timing! My husband, son, and daughter have hypothyroidism. Their doctor was very thorough and checked for antibodies to confirm hypothyroidism. As a mom and wife I am frustrated..but I also understand it is genetics. My daughter went almost 2 years without treating her thyroid (unknowingly)and it was affecting her heart. She thought her tiredness and hair loss were due to stress but she was noticing her chest started to hurt and that's all it took for me to understand something much more than stress was to blame. For my daughter and son they never had weight gain but they were always cold and super tired. My husband on the other hand put on more than 60lbs. For now everything is under control. Thank you so much for sharing such important and informative information 🙏

I'm the opposite. I lose weight. I'd love to find out why. How does vitamin D affect your body? I'm 60.

There are lots of reasons why you could be losing weight instead of gaining - even if thyroid and stress are at the root. As for Vitamin D - it impacts pretty much every cell in the body! And most folks are low!
