Thyroid Talk Episode 21: Having trouble with your weight? Is it your thyroid? | Send a textThyroid Talk with Dr. Angela Mazza, DORecorded Sunday August 27, 2023SHOW NOTES EPISODE 21Trouble With Your Weight?Host: Dr. Angela Mazza, DOCo-host: Dawn SheffieldI’m Dr. Angela Mazza, D.O., a thyroid, endocrine, and metabolism specialist with a private practice in Central Florida. My goal for this podcast is to define and demystify the thyroid gland, and thyroid-related medical conditions. By providing information in an easy-to-understand format, we hope to help patients better understand the ways in which their bodies work, and to help them thrive. My goal is to help us live morefulfilling lives by taking control of our health, to feel our best.I wanted to do this podcast to provide life-saving education and encourage patients to see a doctor in time to prevent or minimize damage. That’s deeply fulfilling. I enjoy helping folks understand how all aspects of their lives are tied to both thyroid and overall health. In fact, this is why I went into endocrinology. It’s a medical art that combines science with the study of our lives—and all that they encompass.To recap just some of what we covered in this episode, not necessarily in this order: Metabolism and how it works; How thyroid controls metabolism; How the thyroid impacts your weight;Insulin resistance; Does hypothyroidism cause weight gain?;Can hyperthyroidism cause weight loss?; How semaglutide works; andBest of all, we learned that we CAN impact our thyroid health!Please watch for pre-order availability for Dr. Mazza’s book, Thyroid Talk: An Integrative Endocrinologist’s Guide to Optimal Thyroid Health. As an added bonus, there will be an online master course, related to the book, to help guide you to optimal thyroid health.
