Exercise&healthydiet: Go see your family physician to be sure your thyroid is ok. After that, it comes down to the basics. Are you physically active on a regular basis? Enough to break out into a good sweat & make your pulse race? How are your eating habits? Any junk food? Empty calories like soft drinks? Get a referral to a nutritionist if you need more guidance.
