How to tell if you have a thyroid problem

Do you have low energy levels?

Do you have difficulty losing weight?

Do you suffer from mood swings?

Is your hair dry?

Is your hair thinning?

Do you have high cholesterol?

Is your skin dry without the use of lotion?

Is the outer third of your eyebrows missing or thinning?

Are your nails brittle?

Do you suffer from constipation?

Time and time again, I hear, "my doctor tells me that my thyroid is fine".  Most doctors are taught to look at only one thing on a blood test and are told that this is the "gold standard" for thyroid diagnosis.  If you have answered yes to several or all of these questions, chances are your thyroid is not balanced.  Even if your doctor has told you that your thyroid is fine.
