Women should take the test whenever they are experiencing change in body weight and composition. Loss of hair and sensitivity towards cold temperature.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a Total Protein (Protein, Albumin, Globulin, A/G) Test or Take a CELIAC PROFILE (TTG IGA ABS, GLIADIN IGG & IGA ABS) Test

Hi, I am 5 feet tall and weigh 74?kg. I also have thyroid issues. There is a lot of pressure on me to have a baby, and we are planning to conceive within a month. I am very concerned about my weight. What should I do? Is it possible to manage or reduce weight during pregnancy with just morning walks?
