the biological lockdown. (why you aren't losing weight).
you eat 1,200 calories. you run on the treadmill until you want to collapse. you step on the scale and you gained a pound. your doctor implies you are lying about your diet.
i need you to hear this: you are not crazy. it is not your fault.
(critical warning: hypothyroidism needs medical care. consult an endocrinologist. do not alter medication).
here is the biology of your exhaustion: when you have a thyroid issue, starvation diets make your body panic. it thinks there is a famine. to save your life, it produces a hormone called reverse T3.
reverse T3 is a biological brake pedal. it blocks your cells from burning fat, forcing your body to hold onto every calorie to survive the stress. your strict diet is literally shutting your metabolism down.
the biological truth: you cannot starve a broken metabolism. you must coax it out of survival mode with specific thyroid nutrients and gentle movement.
i documented the exact biology of this metabolic trap here:
