Ep. 226: Why Can’t I Lose Weight With Hypothyroidism?


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like your body is working against you—no matter how much you diet or exercise? You’re not imagining it. In this episode, we uncover what really happens when your thyroid slows down—and why shedding pounds becomes an uphill battle.


We’ll dig into the science behind:

  • How hypothyroidism drags down your metabolism—even when you’re on treatment 

  • Why insulin resistance and leptin resistance throw off your hunger cues and fat storage systems

  • What role do things like appetite spikes, water retention, fatigue and joint pain play in stalling weight loss efforts 


And most importantly: we’ll map out a realistic path forward. Think beyond calories. We’ll talk about:


  • What “optimal thyroid treatment” really means—and how getting your hormone levels dialed in can make a big difference 

  • How nutrition, sleep, stress, and movement all become part of the equation

  • When supplements or medications like GLP-1s may be helpful—and what to watch out for


🎧 If you’re tired of feeling like weight loss is impossible, tune in to this episode! It’s your launch pad to understanding why, and discovering how to finally get unstuck!
