Normal labs”… but why do I still feel awful?
|
Hi Reader, Have you ever been told your thyroid labs are “normal”… yet you still feel exhausted, foggy, or stuck with stubborn weight? This is one of the biggest myths out there. 👉 Normal does not mean optimal.Doctors usually look at a wide lab range. If your number falls anywhere inside it, they say you’re “fine.” But most women with thyroid problems do not feel fine there. 😔 In fact, many of us still feel tired, cold, foggy, and heavy - even when our labs look “normal.”
Why?👉 Because optimal levels are different than 'normal'. That’s the smaller sweet spot where your body actually works, and where your symptoms start to ease. Sadly, most doctors don’t aim for that. They don’t even mention it and many, if not most, don't even know about it. 😱 . So what happens?
But here’s the truth: 💡 🔥 Getting closer to optimal often does. Key takeaway: Don’t stop asking questions just because your labs are “normal.” You deserve more than average. You deserve to feel good. You deserve to be able to live your one precious life to the full. Action step for you today: You don’t have to wait years for someone else to tell you what’s going on. The more you know, the more power you have. With love and fire, PS – This is the kind of truth we dig into inside my Hypothyroid Recovery Hub community. It’s the important stuff your doctor won’t tell you - but it could change everything. Come join us, you don’t have to figure this out alone. https://www.skool.com/hypothyroid.

Hi Reader, I want to talk about something I hear far too often from women with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s: “I’m over 50 now, so this is just my lot. It’s all downhill from here.” And you know what makes this worse? Doctors reinforce it. 😠 You go in feeling exhausted, gaining weight, or struggling to concentrate - and you’re told: “Oh, that’s menopause.”“Oh, it’s just your age.” As if that’s the end of the story. But it isn’t. The truth is: blaming age for thyroid symptoms is one of the...
Hi Reader, 💜 Today inside our community, the Hypothyroid Recovery Hub, we’re on Day 2 of the 7-Day Sleep Better Challenge - and we’re talking about something simple but powerful: sleeping like a cavewoman. Everything we do in this community comes back to living more like our ancestors – following an ancestral lifestyle that works with your body, not against it. 10,000 years ago, our ancestors slept in almost total darkness. Maybe just a flicker of firelight or a soft glow from the moon. That...
Hi Reader, There’s something magical about autumn, isn’t there? The cosy jumpers, warm drinks, candles flickering, the colours of the leaves. It’s the season of pumpkin spice, thick socks and blankets on the sofa. 🍂 But alongside that cosiness, many women with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s notice a different shift - one that feels a lot less comforting. Maybe you find yourself: 🍁 Shivering even with the heating on and layers piled up 🍁 Feeling like your energy is draining faster than usual 🍁...
