A lifestyle change, as well as proper medications, have helped me lose 30 kgs from 110 kgs to 80 kgs. From the DMs I have received, weight issues and depression are the most common issues my thyroid warriors are dealing with.

Thank God that I was hypothyroid. 4 years down the line, I have been able to control my thyroid levels. I am happier and healthier.
Narrating the ordeal, the beauty shared:
Depression and severe weight gain were my biggest concern. I was 95 kgs from 69 kgs. This was followed by episodes of depression. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism back in 2015 immediately after I had my daughter. I was experiencing almost all symptoms of hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism is a condition whereby the thyroid gland is not able to produce enough thyroid hormone, therefore people with this condition experience symptoms associated with a slow metabolism.
