Not quite up to your usual stuff? Your thyroid—the body’s master hormone gland—might be the reason.
CONSTANTLY PUSHING TO FINISH a workout? Struggling to keep your weight in check? Feeling a bit down in the dumps? Your diet, workout, and even your mindset might not be to blame—you might have a thyroid issue.
