I'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.
