Your thyroid gets blamed for a lot of stubborn weight gain, and sometimes that blame is fair. But very often someone is sent away with a normal blood test and told their thyroid is fine, with no explanation for how they actually feel. In this episode I go through what your thyroid actually does, what changes when it runs slow or fast, what a normal result on your test really means, and what tends to be going on when your results are fine but the weight still will not shift. A normal thyroid test is good news on its own, but it is only one piece of the picture. When it comes back clear, that should be the start of a proper conversation about what else might explain your symptoms, not the end of one. I also talk through why a properly underactive thyroid usually explains a few kilos rather than several stone, and why so much of what people assume is fat is actually fluid building up under the skin. For a lot of people, the bigger drivers sit elsewhere, in food quality, movement, sleep and stress, and none of that is said to make anyone feel guilty. The full list of research references for this episode is in the description of the YouTube version.
