Today, Dr. Carol Rowsemitt describes Famine Response Hypothyroidism and how it affects women with lipedema, and also how it may affect you even when you are on keto. Carol "Rosey" Rowsemitt, PhD, RN, FNP was a practicing scientist studying ecological physiology (BA chemistry, PhD biology) before going to nursing school to become a family nurse practitioner. Rosey has specialized in weight management since 2003 and understands that for many people, the body protects against weight loss by decreasing metabolism. Her passion is to help both patients and their providers think about thyroid function from the broader perspective and understand that typical thyroid testing is not the answer.
