Trying to gain weight with hyperthyroidism? The right fats and proteins can make all the difference.

Unintentional weight loss was something I struggled with during my Graves' diagnosis, and it's a concern I frequently hear from others dealing with hyperthyroidism. Putting on a healthy weight isn't just about consuming more calories. Underlying issues like gut health and elevated thyroid hormone levels must also be addressed.

In this Q&A, I share the specific foods I recommend: quality proteins, healthy fats, and targeted complex carbs. I also explain why simply adding more carbs typically backfires.

If your weight keeps dropping despite everything you eat, this episode offers a strategic, root-cause approach to rebuilding your body. Tune in now!
