Are you struggling to lose weight with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s—even when you're doing everything right?

In this episode of My Thyroid Health, we take a deep dive into two powerhouse supplements: NAD+ and glutathione. These cellular-level nutrients are best known for their anti-aging and detoxifying effects, but they may also play a key role in boosting energy, improving thyroid function, and supporting weight loss—especially for thyroid patients.

We also explore how combining NAD+ and glutathione with GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro could enhance results for those struggling with metabolic resistance due to hypothyroidism. But is it safe? And what do thyroid patients need to know before starting?

If you’ve been searching for new solutions to help with fatigue, inflammation, or a slow metabolism, this is the episode for you.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your thyroid condition should influence your birth control choices, you’re not alone. The good news? Having hypothyroidism usually doesn’t prevent you from using most forms of contraception. But that doesn’t mean it’s one-size-fits-all.

In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into the topic of birth control and hypothyroidism. We'll walk you through the different birth control options—from IUDs and hormonal pills to barrier methods and sterilization—and explore how they might interact with your thyroid health. We’ll talk about why it’s essential to share your full medical history with your doctor, especially when you're on thyroid medications, and why monitoring your hormone levels after starting a new contraceptive could help you avoid unwanted surprises. 

Plus, we’ll shine a light on some lesser-known concerns—like how certain hormonal methods might contribute to weight gain, mood changes, or other symptoms familiar to thyroid patients. And, as always, we'll be drawing on guidance from trusted thyroid experts, including clinicians from Paloma Health, to help you better understand the intersection of reproductive and thyroid health.

In this episode of Your Thyroid Health, we explore one of the most commonly prescribed medications for hypothyroidism: levothyroxine. While generic versions are widely available and often more affordable, many patients wonder if they’re truly as effective and reliable as the brand-name options. We break down the science, the risks, and the practical considerations you need to know before filling—or refilling—your next thyroid prescription.

Whether you're newly diagnosed with hypothyroidism or managing it long-term, this episode will help you make informed decisions about your treatment plan. Join us for a clear, evidence-based discussion on generic versus brand-name levothyroxine, and what it means for your thyroid health.

What you will learn: 

• What levothyroxine is and why it’s essential for treating hypothyroidism

• How generic and brand-name formulations differ—and what stays the same

• Why levothyroxine has a “narrow therapeutic index” and why that matters

• Which patients should avoid switching between generic brands

• Common inactive ingredients that may affect absorption or cause side effects

• How to take levothyroxine for optimal absorption and thyroid level stability

• Cost-saving strategies without compromising consistency

• How to monitor your symptoms and lab results when changes are made
