Can you be thin with hypothyroidism so that, you know, none of these direct questions are really all that straightforward. Okay. So hypothyroidism, first of all, the caveat is, is how many people actually have hypothyroidism. And the answer is almost very, very, very, very few. If you have a hyperthyroid and your thyroid slowing down the is why, why is your thyroid slowing down? And and, and so there are a lot of things that can affect thyroid function, but to actually put you in hypo thyroid to where your TSH number is to a point where your doctor pronounces you hypothyroid, usually there's going to have to be some reason that your thyroid has slowed down is not making enough thyroid hormone. And the vast majority of the time is because you have autoimmune thyroid disease and nobody's figured it out yet.

And so, so I think even the Mayo clinic now is saying that 85 to 95% of people who have autoimmune thyroid disease is actually Hashimoto's. And the reason that can happen is because it can take seven years, maybe, well, maybe it actually not even looking to see if you have autoimmune thyroid disease. And even if you have it, it can take like seven years from the time that it's triggered until the time that you start really seeing antibodies and you start seeing your thyroid hormone go off and then you can, and then you go through the only time, the only way you're thin is if you haven't had enough damage to your thyroid yet. And, and, and, and, and usually at that point in time, that was even when you're looking at thyroid problem, because usually your doctors, aren't gonna look at it, fired problem for you, unless you're fatigue and putting on weight.

And if you are thin and you have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism the greater likelihood is that you probably need to look further. You may be the thin Hashimoto's patient, about 10, 15% of people are thin with Hashimoto's with hyperthyroid HashChing with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. But and, and, and if, and if that's you, in other words, you went to the doctor, your thyroid stimulating hormone is high, which means you were a hypo thyroid without getting into that whole thing. Then then you might want to, and you're wondering, you know, could I have Hashimoto's it's at that point, it's about it's about the symptoms. Are you having hyper symptoms? Cause hypo, thyroid slows everything down, I'm depressed, I'm fatigued. I'm putting on weight, my falling out my bowels don't work. I got constipation it's and, but if you were, but if you can't put on weight, if you're, if you have anxiety, panic attacks, if you have inward tremors, you have heart palpitations for no reason at all, some the night sweats, there's a good chance that you're the thin Hashimoto's patient, as opposed to the thin thyroid patient, which I don't even know if then hype.
