If you've been feeling unusually fatigued, struggling with low energy, or wondering why standard thyroid tests don't seem to capture your symptoms, you're not alone. An underactive thyroid can have profound effects on your body's energy production, particularly within the mitochondria, the powerhouse of our cells. In this episode, we'll explore how thyroid dysfunction impacts your energy levels, why mitochondrial health is crucial, and why conventional thyroid testing might not always provide the full picture.
