Common Underactive Thyroid Symptoms

NOTE: Underactive, hypoactive and low thyroid are all referring to the same thing. Hashimoto’s is the autoimmune disease that can cause the thyroid to under perform and hence become ‘underactive’.

How common are thyroid problems?

It is estimated that 1/8 women will have a thyroid disorder during their lifetime. WHAT?? 😮 I’ve even read stats that say up to 40% of women have thyroid problems. Men can have underactive thyroid problems too, but it is less common.

So many go un-diagnosed. 🙁 That means there are millions of people suffering from these common underactive thyroid symptoms needlessly. This is part of the reason I’m on a mission to spread awareness of thyroid issues and offer positive & practice education.

❌ There are several kinds of thyroid dysfunction – the most common being overactive (usually Graves Disease) and underactive (usually Hashimoto’s Disease).

👉 Hashimoto’s an auto-immune thyroid disease and is the most common form of hypo (under) active thyroid disease. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s when I was 23. 👈  

❓If you feel like something isn’t ‘quite right’ about your health, pay attention to these symptoms.

If that’s you, trust your gut, go to your doctor and get a full thyroid panel blood test
