Low Thyroid?
If you are experiencing symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, moodiness, poor concentration, anxiety, low libido, cold intolerance, dry hair and brittle nails, hair loss, night sweats, insomnia, or constipation – low thyroid could be your problem. If you suspect you have low thyroid (hypothyroidism) you should see your health care practitioner for testing.
In general, low thyroid (hypothyroid) is a common condition in North America affecting between 20 and 25 per cent of the female population and about 10 percent of males. In addition, approximately 30 per cent of people over the age of 35 may have sub-clinical or mild hypothyroidism.
