Do your best efforts to get healthier usually end with disappointment, low energy and weight gain? Then popular TikTok doc Emi Hosoda, M.D., was once just like you. “I even went on a 1,200-calorie vegan diet and didn’t take off a single pound,” recalls the Seattle-area internist, 54. At first, she blamed stress and aging. Then a colleague made an offhand comment: “You shouldn’t be so overweight. There must be something wrong with your gut.” Intrigued, Dr. Hosoda turned attention to her belly, eventually going back to school to learn more. She discovered that inflammation in the GI tract can cause hidden thyroid issues, and with the right tests, confirmed this was her problem. Simple steps to heal “were life-changing,” says the doc. Her get-up-and-go soared as she shed 100 pounds. To pay it forward, she’s now sharing her best secrets. Meanwhile, folks who’ve already tried her top strategies report dropping up to 37 pounds in one month!

You might be wondering what your GI tract has to do with a little gland in your neck that controls metabolism. Turns out, the number-one reason the thyroid slows down is that the body mistakenly attacks it—and these autoimmune attacks “are very often triggered in our gut,” explains Dr. Hosoda.
