Welcome to the Boom Boom Performance Podcast, your resource for science-based training and nutrition,

data-driven coaching, and education-focused content. Before we get into this podcast, I just want to say

thank you for taking the time to listen and learn with me so that you can apply what you are

about to learn, take my strategies, use these tools, and finally

have some serious methods to see sustainable success with your physique, your mind, and your life.

This podcast was built on the foundation of applied education, and I'm excited for you to be here

so you can have that experience with me. Now without any further ado,

let's get on to the show. On today's podcast, I'm going to teach you everything you need to know

about thyroid health. With the increasing popularity of the hormone topic, quote unquote,

the thyroid gland has received more and more and more attention.

Rightfully so. Many people who have a hormonal problem have a compromised thyroid as well,

or vice versa. In fact, a very large population percentage of the people in the United States and

the world and everything actually has a thyroid issue and they aren't even aware of it. Even if they have symptoms as prevalent as inability to lose weight, sudden weight gain,

constipation, always feeling cold, hair loss, dry skin, brittle nails, so on and so forth.

There's a lot of symptoms that can be caused by the thyroid gland being dysfunctional.

But I don't want to scare you with that because many people who think they have a thyroid issue actually don't. And a lot of people blame their

inability to lose weight on that when in fact they're just too stressed out. They're improperly

training or they're just not in a calorie deficit. They're overconsuming calories. So I don't want you to think that

you have a thyroid issue if you're struggling to lose weight because a lot of us struggle to lose weight

and it has nothing to do with thyroid health. And I want to preface this entire podcast with the simple

idea that fixing any thyroid dysfunction is actually more simple than a lot of people make it out to be.

I don't want you to think I'm going to sell you some quick trick or hack or detox or fasting
