T4 Thyroid Tested, Was On Energy Drink, Weight Gain. Is The Energy Drink Responsible?
I tested at 7.7 for my t4 thyroid 3 months ago. I was 230 lbs at the time and took an energy drink before every workout. I stopped taking the energy drink 2 months ago becuase of stomach concerns. I am now 237 lbs and this is unexpected/unwanted weight gain . I am 6 ft 4. 225-230 lbs seems to be a good weight for me so I am too heavy. I am 46 yrs old. Did the energy drink cause my hypothyroidism . What should I do?

Hi,
I don't think there is any correlation between your hypothyroidism and energy drink consumption.Energy drinks may add up to extra calories,but cannot cause thyroid dysfunction.Meanwhile continue your workout and get yourself screened for presence of hypothyroidism.
Hope it helps.
