You may have heard the secret to weight loss is cardio, cardio, cardio. But if you have Hashimoto’s and you’ve tested out this theory, you may have left wondering why you felt so fatigued, inflamed, and flat-out miserable for hours (if not days) afterward.

I am always glad to have a guest like Dr. Emily Kiberd on Resilient Health Radio, who knows exactly what it feels like to walk in the shoes of their patients. We talked all about Hashimoto’s, thyroid testing, and weight loss through weight training.

Long cardio sessions can deplete your already-low levels of thyroid hormones and lean out your valuable stores of muscle mass. By incorporating a weight lifting regimen and try moving towards a HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) program to make you break a sweat.
