Did you know that:

🔴 Women are 5 to 8 times more likely than men to have thyroid problems.

❗ 1 in 8 women will develop a thyroid disorder during her lifetime.

🔴 Undiagnosed thyroid disease may put patients at risk for certain serious conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, and infertility.

🔴 It is crucial to:

🔹 timely diagnose and adequately treat pregnant women with a thyroid issue to ensure a healthy pregnancy
🔹 not only look at lab tests, but also check ultrasound for structural changes of the thyroid gland
🔹 regularly monitor thyroid cysts or nodules, especially in the presence of Hashimoto's disease
🔹 treatment of thyroid nodules may become necessary even with normal thyroid labs
❗ normal thyroid labs do not mean normal ultrasound, that is why monitoring thyroid nodules by ultrasound is essential!

When the thyroid isn’t working properly, your whole body feels it! 🦋

Hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough hormone, slowing down many of the body’s vital processes. 🐢

Common symptoms include:
• Persistent fatigue & low energy 🥱
• Unexplained weight gain ⚖️
• Cold intolerance 🥶
• Constipation 💩
• Hair thinning or hair loss 💁🏻‍♀️
• Dry skin 🧴
• Depression or “brain fog” 🧠
• Irregular or heavy menstrual periods 🩸

These symptoms are often mistaken for stress, aging, or lifestyle issues, which can delay diagnosis and treatment. ⚠️

Who is at higher risk? 👥
• Women (5–10 times more likely than men)
• Adults over 30
• Pregnant women or those in the post-partum period
• People with a family history of thyroid disease
• Individuals with autoimmune conditions such as diabetes or lupus

The good news? 🙌
Hypothyroidism is easily diagnosed with a simple blood test and is very treatable with appropriate care.

If these symptoms sound familiar, don’t ignore them - get checked. This Thyroid Awareness Month, let’s start the conversation. 🗓️

For many people, weight gain isn’t a willpower problem - it’s a hormone problem. 🧠⚖️

At The Endocrinology Centre, we specialise in finding out exactly why. 🔬 Hormonal imbalances can disrupt appetite, metabolism, fat storage, energy, sleep, and mood. 😴⚡🍽️

When your body feels “stuck,” there may be a genuine medical reason - and the right treatment can help you move forward. ➡️💡

With over a decade of specialised experience, Dr. Chad Bisambar provides thorough evaluation and evidence-based treatment for common hormonal causes of weight gain, including:

✔️ Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)
✔️ Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
✔️ Insulin resistance
✔️ Perimenopause
✔️ Cortisol excess
✔️ Low testosterone

When appropriate, Dr. Bisambar also offers safe, expert-guided GLP-1 therapy. 💉✅ His practice is supported by advanced training at the Specialist Weight Management & Metabolism Clinic, University of Cambridge. 🎓

If you’re tired of guessing, struggling, or feeling dismissed, we’re here to offer answers, clarity, and personalised care - not judgement. 🤝💙

Contact us today and take the first step toward feeling in control again.
