Perpetually pooped? Packing on pounds? This could be why

  Two of the most common health concerns people report to their doctors are gaining weight and losing energy. This Nutrition coach hears a lot of that too, by the way. But the problem is that trying to pinpoint the underlying cause of weight gain and low energy is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Could it be thyroid?  Menopause?
