This condition is more common than many realize and can develop gradually, making it easy to overlook. Many men may attribute symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, or brain fog to aging or a busy lifestyle, when in reality, an underactive thyroid could be the root cause. Because symptoms often develop slowly over time, hypothyroidism can go undiagnosed for years, affecting energy levels, cognitive function, and overall health. Recognizing the early warning signs and getting tested is key to managing the condition effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#e4eaed” custom_padding=”0px||100px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” position_origin_a=”top_center” vertical_offset=”-20px” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”20px||20px||true|false” custom_css_main_element=”text-align:center;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#3f3f3f” text_font_size=”16px” header_font=”Montserrat|800|||||||” header_text_color=”#ffffff” header_font_size=”36px” header_2_font=”Montserrat|800|||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#ffffff” header_2_font_size=”30px” header_3_font=”Montserrat|800|||||||” header_3_text_align=”center” header_3_text_color=”#ffffff” header_3_font_size=”30px” background_color=”#4E738A” positioning=”relative” width_tablet=”” width_phone=”80%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”-25px||||false|false” custom_padding=”10px|50px|5px|50px|false|true” header_2_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_3_font_size_phone=”23px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_css_main_element=”display:inline-block;||justify-content:center!important;||text-align:center;” border_radii=”on|15px|15px|15px|15px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ make_equal=”on” disabled_on=”on|on|off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” max_width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_tabs active_tab_background_color=”#F26522″ inactive_tab_background_color=”#ffffff” active_tab_text_color=”#ffffff” module_class=”benefits-tabs” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” tab_text_color=”#0a0a0a” custom_css_free_form=”.benefits-tabs{|| display:flex;||}||.benefits-tabs .et_pb_tabs_controls{|| margin-right:10px;|| width:35%;|| background-color:transparent;||}||.benefits-tabs .et_pb_tabs_controls:after{|| border-top:0px;||}||.benefits-tabs .et_pb_tabs_controls li{|| border-radius:10px;|| border:none;||width:100%;|| margin-bottom:10px;|| height:10%!important;|| line-height:1.2;||}||.benefits-tabs .et_pb_all_tabs{|| border-radius:10px;||}||.benefits-tabs h3{|| color:#f26f22!important;|| font-weight:700;||}||.benefits-tabs p,li{|| color:#000000;||}” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” inactive_tab_background_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” inactive_tab_background_color__hover=”#4E738A” tab_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” tab_text_color__hover=”#ffffff”][et_pb_tab title=”Fatigue and Sluggishness” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n One of the most common signs of hypothyroidism is persistent fatigue, even after a full night\u2019s sleep.

Without enough, hormone production slows down. Fortunately, you can get iodine from seafood, dairy, and iodized salt.<\/p>\n Selenium helps activate thyroid hormones and reduce inflammation. Just a couple of Brazil nuts a day can provide what you need. Other sources include eggs and sunflower seeds.<\/p>\n These minerals help your body make and use thyroid hormones. They are found in red meat, spinach, nuts, and shellfish.<\/p>\n If eaten raw in large amounts, broccoli, cabbage, and kale can interfere with thyroid function. Cooking them helps reduce this effect while keeping their nutrients intact.<\/p>\n The most common treatment for hypothyroidism is levothyroxine, a synthetic thyroid hormone that restores hormone levels to normal. Medication should be taken consistently and monitored for dosage adjustments as needed.<\/p>\n Chronic stress can throw off thyroid function. Simple habits like meditation, deep breathing, and regular movement can help keep stress in check.<\/p>\n Good sleep is essential for hormone balance and energy. Aim for 7-9 hours a night to support your thyroid and overall well-being.<\/p>\n Staying active helps boost metabolism and fight fatigue. Moderate exercise, like walking or strength training, can make a big difference.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” width_tablet=”90%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” max_width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px|50px|0px|50px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#E4EAED” custom_padding=”35px|25px|35px|25px|true|true” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/lowcountrymale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/AdobeStock_174210783-scaled-e1690825910982.jpeg” alt=”peptide for weight loss” title_text=”Sports man in gym” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#3f3f3f” text_font_size=”16px” header_font=”Montserrat|800|||||||” header_text_color=”#ffffff” header_font_size=”36px” header_2_font=”Montserrat|800|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#4E738A” header_2_font_size=”30px” header_3_font=”Montserrat|800|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#4E738A” header_3_font_size=”30px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If you\u2019re experiencing symptoms or have concerns about your thyroid function, don\u2019t wait\u2014schedule an appointment at Lowcountry Male Clinic today.
