AMPK Activation: MOTS-c vs Fasting vs Exercise?

I had low thyroid for years and didn’t realize it. After treatment, recovery between sessions improved a ton.

Not gonna lie, I expected some magical transformation. Felt better overall, but the physique changes were pretty gradual.

Personally, fixing my thyroid helped me stop spinning my wheels in the gym. Strength finally started moving up again.

Results were solid for me. Less water retention, better pumps, and I looked less “puffy” after a few months.

YMMV, but I didn’t see major physique changes. My mood and energy improved way more than my body composition.

I’ve run into a lot of people blaming everything on thyroid issues. In my experience, training and diet still matter way more.
