EP209: Is Your Thyroid Keeping You from Reaching Your Fitness Goals? With Elle Russ

You could be doing everything right and still not be able to meet your health and fitness goals if you have a hypo or hyperthyroidism. If you are one of the 8 out of 10 women who are eating right, working out, and are still unable to lose weight or possibly even gaining weight, you may have a thyroid issue. Drew’s guest today, Elle Russ knows first-hand how hard you can work to stay healthy and how little difference it makes if your thyroid isn’t working properly. For years, she was misdiagnosed and given incorrect information about the symptoms she was experiencing due to her thyroid malfunction. During this discussion, she shares the symptoms to look out for, a list of blood tests you should consider if you think you have an issue, and where you can find knowledgable help.
