I think I might have a thyroid issue. I had a baby a year ago, and I am struggling to lose weight.
After my second pregnancy, I gained weight, weighing 213 pounds, while my "normal" weight was about 140 pounds. I wasn't overeating; I was swollen, inflamed, tired, and in a state of obesity. My TPO blood test was incredibly high. I struggle with keeping a healthy weight now and swell constantly. What's the best thing to do for my thyroid? I've read about kelp. Any suggestions would be so appreciated! I feel defeated by everyone blaming it on post-baby weight and eating too much. (My baby is going to be 2 in two weeks.) Thanks!
