If her thyroid: Level has been treated to normal with brand name T4 replacement, then it's not her thyroid. Many women gain weight as they age, due to increased and improper food intake and decreased activity. Lipo 6 would only decrease the weight of her wallet, not her body. Who knows what's in it of it it could harm her. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or internet scams.

She should have: Her thyroid hormone level re-checked to make sure she is taking enough medication. But there are other causes of weight gain, not necessarily related to menopause. She should consult a doctor for this problem.
