Thyroid treatment without meds?
Yesterday I went to my doctor to follow up on some blood work I had done and she diagnosed me with a hypoactive thyroid. She tested my thyroid because she tests it in all women.

Breakfast options to fill you up!
Hi All! I normally have fruit smoothies for breakfast, as they are quick and filling (at the time) and I don't have a lot of spare time to prepare in-depth, time-consuming breakfasts.

Is it okay to eat more protein than recommended?
Almost everyday my protein intake is higher than the recommended amount. Is that okay? I know protein is great for you, but I'm not sure if it's okay to eat too much of it. Does this mean I will build more muscle? I also noticed that I usually eat more fiber than recommended. What about that?
