Your thyroid labs are “normal” but your body says otherwiseOne of the most common conversations I have with women in my practice starts with: “I know my thyroid labs are normal. But I still don’t feel like myself.” A thyroid test can be reassuring without necessarily answering the entire clinical question. |

They may describe exhaustion despite getting enough sleep. Brain fog. Constipation. Changes in their hair or skin. Difficulty maintaining their usual weight. Or simply a sense that their energy, metabolism, and body feel different than they used to.
Not everyone feeling this way needs thyroid medication, but lab results shouldn’t be the end of a conversation either. If this all sounds eerily familiar to you, here are some next steps to take:
- Ask what was actually tested. Look at the numbers themselves rather than whether the report labeled them normal or abnormal. Review previous thyroid tests to understand your trajectory.
- Tell your clinician about medications and supplements you’re taking
- If your symptoms persist, ask what else could reasonably explain them. Sometimes the answer will be thyroid disease, sometimes it will be completely different.
Good medicine isn’t about choosing between the laboratory and the patient. It’s about understanding both.

I Am Going To Recommend This Wellness Getaway To Everyone I Know |
|
 |
As a busy working mom, my showers are usually get-in-get-out. Then I stepped into my room at the Carriage House in Kohler, Wisconsin — six showerheads, water dialed to the exact degree — and stayed in for ten minutes. Best shower of my life.
It was the perfect intro to a trip where wellness wasn't one treatment or class — it was everything: how I moved, recovered, ate, and spent time outside.
Don’t miss these highlights:
I left with a new idea of what a wellness getaway can be. No need to choose between active and restorative. At Kohler, there's room for both. |

Health, debunkedMyth: Catching up on sleep is the only way for your brain to recover after a sleepless night.
Researchers put this to the test by comparing activities to see what improved memory most in participants aged 18 to 35 after being awake for 30 hours straight:
- A 90-minute nap
- 20 minutes of cycling at a moderate to vigorous intensity
- Sitting on a bike without pedaling.
The exercise group and the nap group both performed better on memory tests, proving a brief workout can provide similar benefits to a nap after a rough night of sleep.
