Your Thyroid is Amazing!
Your thyroid has a massively important role as a master-controller of your metabolism (the biochemical reactions in your body). When it doesn’t work very well, it can result in lack of weight loss (or weight gain), fatigue, feeling cold, and other symptoms.
As I shared with you earlier this week, of course, there are certain foods and nutrients (and lifestyle upgrades) that love and support your thyroid.
And if you're feeling a bit sluggish, I have a quick and delicious thyroid-friendly stir-fry dinner recipe for you.
