View allI'm dealing with hypothyroidism and could really use some advice on treatment. I also struggle with being too skinny and just can't seem to gain any weight. What steps should I take to address these issues?
For hypothyroidism treatment, consult an endocrinologist or a thyroid specialist who can prescribe synthetic thyroid hormone replacement medication, such as levothyroxine, to regulate your thyroid hormone levels; to gain weight, focus on consuming more calories than you burn, eating nutrient-dense foods, including protein shakes, nuts, dried fruits, and avocados, and consider consulting a registered dietitian for a personalized meal plan.

I'm really concerned about my wife's health. She's been diagnosed with a Vitamin D deficiency at 8.5, and the doctor recommended Calcirol 60K once a week.
