fatigued, lethargic, and sluggish, especially when you wake up in
the morning? Do you have poor-quality, cracked nails? Are you cold
all the time? Do you have dry skin, coarse hair, or hair loss? Are
you depressed? Are you constipated? Do you have muscle and joint
pains?  If you answered yes to any of the above, you may be
one of the 38 million Americans with low thyroid function.  In
today’s episode of a new series I’m calling Know Your Numbers, I
dive deep into thyroid dysfunction. I discuss why millions of
people suffer with undetected thyroid issues, how conventional
medicine misses the mark in measuring thyroid levels, how
Functional Medicine treats hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, and
much more. You can test your magnesium levels with Function Health,
