Ep. 191: Could Your Teenager Be Hypothyroid?

Could your tired, moody, always-cold teenager actually have a thyroid problem?


While we often chalk up things like fatigue, mood swings, and sleeping until noon as “just being a teen,” an underactive thyroid – called hypothyroidism – could be playing a role. And the earlier you catch it, the better your teen can feel—physically and emotionally.
