What is the best way to beat hypothyroidism? even on medication extremely tired, need to lose weight, but don't have the get up and go any suggestions

Make sure: You're taking brand name T4 replacement and lab tests show you're not only "normal" but in an appropriate range for age. It takes months for things to return toward normal. If necessary, see an endocrinologist. Fixing the thyroid only fixes the thyroid, not the rest of your life.
