Thyroid Alert: 8 Signs That Tell You It’s Time for a Thyroid Checkup!
1. Unexplained Weight Gain or Loss
You may notice an unexpected weight change, either gaining or losing pounds, without altering your diet or exercise habits. This is often related to thyroid dysfunction. Hyperthyroidism can cause weight loss, while hypothyroidism tends to lead to weight gain.

If weight fluctuations can’t be explained by changes in diet or activity, it’s a good idea to get a thyroid test. After treatment, normalizing thyroid hormone levels can help restore a healthy metabolism and stabilize your weight.
