Can’t lose weight? Check your thyroid

Did you know that your thyroid controls your metabolism?

Your doctor will do a major eye roll at this, but look it up. It’s the thyroid’s job to regulate it. It’s not a controversial subject. It’s a medical fact. Your metabolism is the body’s ability to break down the food you eat and turn it into energy.
If you can’t lose weight, it may be related to your metabolism: a slow metabolism=weight gain, common sense.
