HELLO ADARSH,
WHATS HAPPENING IN YOUR BODY? with Hypothyroidism, your thyroid isn’t producing enough T3 and T4 hormones, your brain increases TSH(thyroid-stimulating hormone) to try and push the thyroid to work harder. -High TSH= very low thyroid hormone levels. -Low T3= your body isn’t getting the energy- regulating hormones it needs.
WHY YOU MUST NOT SKIP THYROUP Thyrup ) is life long replacement therapy , not just a temporary fix. -missing even a few doses consistently can cause TSH to rise significantly -high TSH leads to fatigue, weight gain , brain fog, weakness, low hb, and other symptoms you’re experiencing.
TIP= set daily reminder. Take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, 30-60 minutes before breakfast for best absorption.
