Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition, brought to you by nutritional weight and wellness.

I'm honored to have been a part of this mission for over 15 years.

My name is Kara Karpur.

I'm a licensed nutritionist and certified nutrition specialists, and I have a master's degree in holistic health.

which is an autoimmune thyroid condition.

Around 12% of Americans will be diagnosed with a thyroid condition at some point in their lives.

Women are five to eight times more likely to have thyroid disease compared to men.

even realize. And I remember when I first started having symptoms of hypothyroidism, which is low thyroid,

it's really easy to overlook and justify those symptoms as, oh, it's just something else.

I don't think that's where your brain goes.

Exactly.

Yeah, you kind of go, well, you know, I'm tired.

I just had a baby.

You know, I'm putting on some weight, losing some hair.
