View allI've been practicing intermittent fasting for quite a while now, and it's really helped me shed a lot of fat. Plus, I do a 36-hour fast once every month. But recently, I found out I have Hypothyroidism and I'm now on thyroxine tablets on an empty stomach every morning, and I take a Vitamin D3 tablet once a week. I did mention my fasting routine to my doctor, but I completely forgot to ask if it's okay to keep doing it with my thyroid meds. And since he didn't say I should stop, I'm kind of unsure. So, is it safe to continue intermittent fasting while taking thyroid medication, or should I be concerned?
Yes you can continue fasting while on thyroid medicines In fact if you loose weight your metabolic status might get better Continue the thyroid replacement also

I'm 17 and really insecure about my small breast size. Is there any way to naturally increase my breast size without surgery? I feel really depressed about it and want to know if there are safe options to help them grow faster
It's understandable to feel insecure about your breast size, especially during adolescence. While natural breast growth primarily occurs during puberty, there are no guaranteed natural methods to significantly increase breast size without surgery. If you're concerned about your breast size, it's best to talk to your doctor or a gynecologist. They can help you understand what's normal for your age and help you address any potential concerns.
