An underactive thyroid can make weight loss challenging, even with a healthy diet and active lifestyle. But don’t worry—it’s definitely not impossible! We’re here to support you every step of the way. Together, we’ll create a personalised plan that works for you.
Losing weight with an underactive thyroid
What is hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones, particular thyroxine and triiodothyronine. These hormones are crucial for your metabolism and energy levels. A deficiency can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain and depression.While anyone can be affected, women are especially vulnerable, particularly during menopause or after pregnancy.
Weight gain due to an underactive thyroid
One of the most frustrating symptoms of hypothyroidism is weight gain. When thyroid hormones are deficient, they can slow down metabolism, causing the body to burn fat less efficiently, which can result in unwanted weight gain. This extra weight can be challenging to lose without proper treatment.
But there’s a solution!
Losing weight with an underactive thyroid. We’re here to help!
At Yazen, we offer medical support for weight management, especially for people experiencing weight gain due to an underactive thyroid. Our approach combines medication with lifestyle adjustments to help you regain control of your weight and health. We look beyond the number on the scales and address other important factors for sustainable results.
Nutrition: Often, people with hypothyroidism suffer from nutritional deficiencies. This is why we offer dietary counselling so that you include essential nutrients such as iodine, selenium and zinc in your meals. These nutrients are crucial for healthy thyroid function.
Exercise: Regular exercise is essential for a good metabolism. Our personalised exercise plans take into account the fatigue and joint discomfort experienced by many people with hypothyroidism. We encourage gradual and sustainable activities that suit your situation.
Stress: Stress can worsen thyroid problems. Therefore, we offer stress-reduction techniques such as mindfulness, yoga and relaxation exercises. These promote not only your health, but also your overall well-being.
