Tired, Moody, Gaining Weight? It Could Be Your Thyroid, Here’s What You Need to Know

Is Your Thyroid Trying to Tell You Something?

Thyroid health is often overlooked until it starts taking over your life.

Maybe you’ve felt wired but exhausted at the same time. Or perhaps the weight gain (or sudden weight loss) doesn’t make sense no matter what you eat. Maybe you’ve noticed thinning hair, mood swings, or a deep, unshakable fatigue that keeps pulling you down.

These symptoms can feel confusing, frustrating, and even scary. But here’s the truth:

Your thyroid may be trying to tell you something and it’s time to listen.

What Is the Thyroid, and Why Does It Matter?

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck, but its role in your body is anything but small. It’s the command center for your metabolism, energy, temperature regulation, digestion, brain function, and hormone balance. When the thyroid is under-functioning (hypothyroidism) or over-functioning (hyperthyroidism), your entire system can feel out of sync.

Here’s a quick look at common symptoms:

Hypothyroidism:

• Fatigue and brain fog
• Weight gain
• Cold intolerance
• Depression or low mood
• Dry skin and hair thinning
• Constipation
• Slow heart rate

Hyperthyroidism:

• Anxiety, nervousness, or irritability
• Unexplained weight loss
• Feeling overheated
• Rapid heartbeat or palpitations
• Trouble sleeping
• Increased appetite
• Shaky hands or muscle weakness

How Do You Know Something’s Off?

For many, it starts with the subtle changes:

“I just don’t feel like myself anymore.”

“I’m tired, but I can’t sleep.”

“No matter how healthy I eat, the scale won’t budge.”

These red flags are often dismissed or misdiagnosed. Conventional labs may come back “normal,” even when your body is screaming for help. That’s why at Executive Functional Healing, LLC, I go deeper.

Getting to the Root Cause

Medications can help manage symptoms, but they don’t always solve the problem. I believe in a different approach: one that investigates why your thyroid isn’t functioning optimally in the first place.

Root causes may include:

• Nutrient deficiencies
• Chronic stress and cortisol imbalance
• Gut dysfunction or leaky gut
• Autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s or Graves’
• Exposure to environmental toxins
• Hidden infections
• Hormonal imbalances

When we uncover these underlying issues, healing becomes not only possible but expected.
