Hi,
I have a few more questions for the Drs. as I was thinking about the topic...

1) How does hypothyroidism affect efforts to lose weight?

2) I've read that dieting doesn't work, especially in the long run. Is this true? If so, what is a healthier and more sustainable alternative?

3) Is there any merit in counting calories/restricting calories, or is this not a healthy approach?

Thank you; I really look forward to the Q&A.

I'm unfortunately not able to see the video at all 🙁 Maybe there is a technical issue

Where do unhealthy food cravings come from? And how can we control them?

@bren1985, Sorry that you had technical issues. It happens at the most inconvenient times, doesn't it?

Brenda, In the past, I think that the videos are posted, along with answers that came in after the video timed out. @kanaazpereira, Do you know if the video will be made available to those who didn't get to view it? Rosemary

@bren1985, If you click on the video start symbol, it will do a short countdown before the actual video begins.
